Souls: Beginning Of The End [Book 2]

Chapter Ten: That's a nono...

Sprinkle looked at Blue and Dust, fear was in his eyes. Blue's motherly instincts kicked in, "Sprinkle!? Are you ok? Did something happen!? Just tell me your alright!" Dust sighed and struggled to pry Blue off of the scared child.

Sprinkle nodded, "yeah....I'm alright, but Desire's not" Blue's eyesockets widened, "what do you mean Desire's not?" Blue looked up at Horror and Lust who looked equally as shocked with the situation, Lust kneeled down to match Sprinkle's height, "what room is Desire in?" Sprinkle mumbled a number, Lust shot up and ran from the room, Horror followed.

Blue looked at Sprinkle again, "what happened Sprinkle? Is Desire hurt?" Sprinkle shrugged, "I dont know.......he was staring out the window one moment then he just passed out....so I came to get Mr. Lust and Mr. Horror, I knew they would be able to help him" Dust tapped his chin signifying that he was thinking.

Dust then looked over at Blue, "Do you think that it might the suspect we're looking for?" Blue shook his head, he was good with situations like these, "No, any smart criminal wouldn't be dumb enough to be in the spot of authority, unless......"

Dust looked at Blue with confusion, "unless what?" Blue shook his head again, "oh its nothing, our main focus should be Desire right now..." Dust nodded. Sprinkle veiwed the situation with confusion, Blue looked down at him, "What room are you staying in? Is Desire still in the room?"

Sprinkle nodded to the last question then mumbled a number to the first, Blue was quick on his feet and exited the room. He was followed by Dust and Sprinkle. Blue rounded a hallway and saw Lust messing with a door, Horror was behind him.

Blue approached them, "what's the problem? Will the door not open?" Lust shook his head in denial, Sprinkle could tell he was scared.

Dust walked up to them, "allow me" Lust stepped aside and Dust approached the door. He then summoned a bone and shot it at the door, the handle fell off as well as some of the door. Dust smiled, "the doors open"

Lust stared at him, "you didn't have to break the door like that.....geez Outer's gonna kill us" Lust then carefully opened the door and found Desire still lying on the bed.

Lust heaved an exhale once he saw Desire breathing. Lust walked over to him and kneeled down, "it looks like he's just passed out, that's bad but it's better than death...." Horror looked out of the window, "the hell? Theres nothing in here that could have caused it-"

Dust smiled widely and looked at Blue, "it's a ghost! I knew this place was haunted!" Everyone in the room gave Dust a look, Dust frowned, "what? Were you all thinking it was something else? At least mines reasonable!" Lust sighed, "your so stupid it makes me disappointed I know you."

Dust gasped, obviously offended. Horror laughed at him, Blue walked over to the window. The lamp lights dimmed the lot, Blue shook his head when he found nothing.

Blue turned to Sprinkle, "did you happen to see anyone?" Sprinkle shook his head in denial. Blue then looked over at Desire who was stirring in his sleep.

Blue examined him, and luckily found something. Blue pulled out a tiny dart that was embedded in Desire's neck. The dart had a strange purple liquid in it.

Dust stared at it, "the hell is that?" Blue shrugged. Horror looked around, "If the window and door were closed then how did the dart get through?"

Blue approached the window again, he searched around for a hole. Blue ran his gloved fingers over the window and found a hole. It was a well hidden hole.

Blue pointed the hole out, Lust frowned, "who would've put that there anyway?" Blue thought for a moment, "obviously someone who works for Outer and has seen all the rooms."
