Ebony's pov

I kept checking my phone. I don't know why, it had been dead for a while. It was just that I felt like I was forgetting something. Something about today was important.

"Miss Ebony, I think there's a garden gnome in the air vent.

I looked to where Johnny was pointing. In the vent was a garden gnome looking thing.
"Hello?"

The thing smiled.
"Hi! I'm Jeff, King of the gnomes. I was hoping that myself and my subjects could maybe hide here where we won't die. We'd be willing to help in any attempt to save our universe."

I thought for a second, remembering what Annabelle had said about moving the shack.
"How many of you?"

He counted on his fingers.
"Somewhere in the thousands. We're strong too."

I nodded.
"Toast, let them in."

He opened the vent and the thing jumped down to the floor.
"Thank you very much. Now, how can we help?"


Ghost's pov

Holding Jimmy was not the highlight of my day. He was heavy, he kept squirming, and he still talked like a somewhat adult, just with a six year old's voice. We had gone down to the library on the second floor to come up with a plan.

Annabelle was pacing furiously, demon tail swaying behind her. I didn't really trust any of this. She was full of demon blood now, and she was always crazy before. I didn't see this ending well for anyone. Especially me.

Suddenly she seemed to have an idea.
"We set the place on fire!"

I seemed to be the only one okay with that plan.

"No! My niece and nephew are up there and I don't want to put them in any more danger than needed."

"I have to agree with Stanley. That seems excessive."

"And I don't want gweggs to get huwt."

Annabelle growled in the back of her throat.
"Alright then. Plan B."

We followed her back up the stairs. I had shifted Jimmy onto my back honestly it wasn't much better, but he was complaining less so that was a bonus.

When she reached the trapdoor and ripped it off it's hinges. She climbed the ladder quickly.
"PLAYTIME IS OVER!"
