Animal Heaven - 1, 2 and 3

Animal Heaven Part 3 2

"I probably should go to bed now. It's getting late." I said to myself sleepily.

As I lay me head on my pillow a few more tears dropped onto my pillow as I silently cried thinking about the few memories I had with my Mum.

"Sorry I was late tonight, I had a meeting with the guards of Tartarus, there has been an attempt escape." Said Terror sounding puffed.

He was now my husband, it felt like only yesterday when we were capturing shades and talking about plans (although I don't like panning - I just go with the flow - I enjoyed it with Terror). The good times.

"It's ok, do you know where Farkle is? I haven't seen him since lunch today." I said starting to panic.

"No, maybe he went to the kitchen. He does love food!" Terror sounded a lot more relaxed than I did though.

"I'll go and have a quick look for him and you can go to sleep since you haven't slept in 2 days." I wasn't kidding, he actually had an important meeting that lasted a day and a half, he also have a 30 minute trip there and a 30 minute trip back. As well as other things from the shades on the way around Hell.

He must be exhausted by now. When I was going to tell him that I was going to be back in a few minutes I saw him fast asleep on the bed. Just laying there, it looked really funny! I took a quick picture of him: my new wallpaper!

Turns out that Farkles (the black kitten and my son) was just trying to steal some dinner from the kitchen, he was outside playing when we were eating dinner.

"Mum, you just ruined my cover! I was going to get the food..." Said Farkle with an annoyance in his voice.

"Well, it is time for you to go to bed now anyway. Come on it is getting late." I tried to hurry Farkle up but he just didn't leave the kitchen whatever I did. He can be really stubborn takes after his Father.

"Mum, I don't wanna to go to sleep tonight." Farkle said plainly.

"Why honey?" I asked sounding like I was an old lady, also starting to feel a bit like one.

"'Cause I don't want to have that scary dream again, Mama." Said Farkle starting to feel uncomfortable (I could tell because he was starting to walk around in circles around the kitchen table. Also another thing he takes after his mother).

"What dream?" I asked even though I already had a good idea of what it was.

"You know, the one about the box, then it opens and then there is a flash of light. Then a pretty heart shiny thingy floats in the air. And then-"

"And then the box closes and sucks up all of the light of the world..." I knew what Farkles was talking about because I had had the same nightmare all week since I visited the Art Museum. There was an artwork, I'm not sure what one it was, but I'm pretty sure what section is was in.

"Honey, let's get you to bed in my room with Dad. I need to go to do... stuff... somewhere else... other. than. here..." I said stuttering because I didn't want Farkle to find out that this could really come real.

"Ok, but you need to walk me there." Farkles said a-matter-of-a-factly.

"Ok, I will walk you to my room, but you have to stay there after I leave and you have to be really quiet because Daddy is exhausted." I said not really thinking that Farkles will want to leave the room anyway because he is really scared.

"Ok Mummy, but be safe wherever you are going." Smart little boy.

I walked Farkles to my room and then tucked him into bed. Next I walked-ran out of the room and down the hall. Making sure that Farkles wasn't following me, the tiled floor was freezing. I could tell this because I fell face first into the FREEZING tiles. I'm so clumsy. If I'm correct then that would be the 3rd time today I have fallen face first into some type of ground.

So I "sneaked" out of the castle. When I looked up at the sky it was overcast and dull. It had been raining before but I hadn't noticed, probably because I had been stuck up in my room for most of the day. The air smelt like it had been raining as well.

When I got to the Art Museum it was already closed (obviously) because it was already 11pm. Luckily I had my Animal Heaven key! (It is my paw print). After I open the door inside the Art Museum, I hear pawsteps where a single light is lit, about 10 metres away from where I am. I creep up to the lit room in the dark, silently, close to the ground. My tail flicks from side to side and I try to stop it but I doesn't work because I am on a hunt. CRASH!!! An expansive vase worth over 600 million dollar made impact with the tiled ground. Great for my silentness (if that isn't a word, well, it is now). Who ever was in the room, they are long gone by now. I trotted over into the room, it was a small office and then I started hearing some voices. They were echoey, as if they were echoing through my big head and not really in the real world. Just in my head. They said "if 't be true thou art looking f'r the treasure of aphrodite, then t is not h're but near the painting of ares art thou war". It sounded more like a triple voice then a single voice. It was a freaky situation to be in and I hope I don't have to be in it ever again. The room's light suddenly switched off and I froze. I couldn't move when I was this scared. This was a bad idea.

I took what the triple voice said and tried to work out what is had said in my head. This was hard because I was terrified and just wanted to go home. But this could save everything and everyone I know and love. I had to go on. I tried to turn the light on but it didn't work. Luckily I have night vision for reasons just like this. I looked around to room and I couldn't see anything suspicious or unusual. It looked all the same as when I came here 2 days before. Maybe I should go home and get some rest, I can come back tomorrow... No, I came here am I will find out what is giving me and Farkles these annoying nightmares now or never.

So, this is what I have tried to take out of what the triple voice said. "The artwork you are looking for (to find the treasure of Aphrodite) is not here but near the painting of Ares the god of war." I'm not fully sure if this is accurate but I will go with what I think it said. The painting of Ares is in the section that I had a funny feeling about anyway.

What do you know? Behind the painting of Ares there was a map, it looks like a pretty old map. Maybe at least 50 years old. I figured out where it leads to, but that is on Earth and I haven't been there since I was only little. The "treasure" of Aphrodite (more like the curse) is able to remove all of the light and souls of our universe. It was made by Aphrodite as a present first, but then the boy she was going to give it to cheated on her and so Aphrodite put a curse on it. She then threw it down to earth in frustration. The belief is that if you open the delicate box that the treasure is in and touch the ruby heart shaped diamond, you will become irresistible to everyone who sees you. In the past people and animals desperately searched for the treasure and most of them failed and most likely died The others who did come back probably either didn't come close to the treasure, or told stories of ghosts and other wild things protecting the treasure.
