Chapter 4: A Heaven in Hell
I woke up, and the first thing I remembered were the two figures coming towards me. I jumped up and saw that I was in some kind of room made to look like an infirmiry.
I looked at myself. I had bandages all over me.
I heard voices from the opposite room, and I was about to get up and see, when the door opened. A boy, who seemed only 7 or 6, wearing a preppy black suit and a side mask covering his left side, the other side covered by his black hair, looked at me.
"Is he okay?", a young girl's voice asked from the other room.
The boy just looked at me.
"Amsan..?", the girl's voice said.
"He's alive, and awake.", The boy, most likely Amsan, said with a young , firm but kind, voice.
I heard someone get up, and a set of feet walking towards me and the boy. A head popped in, a young girl's head.
Two ponytails on her head, a black and white female version of the preppy suit the boy was wearing. A side mask on her right side covered her face while her black hair covered the left side. She seemed 10 or 11, and what I assumed, the boy's sister.
The girl put an arm around the boy's waist and pulled him back. The only parts if skin I saw where a part if their necks, hands and fingers, and their nose and mouths, which the boy's showed curiosity and the girl's concern.
"Hi!", the boy finally said to break the silence.
"H-hi*Cough cough*", I said, my voice rough, I started coughing.
"Sister, we need to give him water!", the boy said to the girl in worry. The girl, his sister, nodded and left while the boy walked up to me.
"You have been very sleepy, I'd say you've been asleep for a whole hour!", the boy said, I just looked at him, something about the boy, the way he acted, and spoke, was really familiar.
"Oh! Where are my manners!?", the boy said, looking at me.
"Hello Jason,", he said, holding out a hand.
"Do you remember me? We used to play when you where on break!", he said. That's why he seemed so familiar!
"A-. Amsan!? Is that really you?", I said, very suprised.
"Yea! You remember me!", Amsan said excitedly.
"Oh of course I do! Look how much you've grown!", I said, but then a thought came to me...
"Wait," I said.
"What, are you doing here?...", I asked.
Amsan looked at me, saying nothing.
"Is he still alright?", The girl, which I had a high guess who, came in with a cup of water.
"Yes, he's alright. He remembers me!", Amsan said to the girl.
"Do you remember her?", Amsan said, pointing to the girl.
"If I remember correctly, you're Amsan's older sister, Adarsha, right?", I said. The girl nodded yes.
"That's me, and it looks like you've found your way back to Starstruck.", Adarsha said, giving me the cup. I thanked her and drank it, I was really thirsty. Adarsha looked at me with a strict but soft look on her face, from what I could tell just by the nose and mouth expressions.
I felt the need to get up, when I did, I almost fell, I would have if it weren't for Amsan.
When I finally could stand up on my own, I followed the siblings to another room, looking like a living area.
"Where, are we?", I asked.
"We refuged here in this small apartment that used to be for some angel cartoon.", Adarsha answered while going near a pot on a mini stove. Amsan walked to the armchair and started reading a book.
"You must be hungry.", Adarsha said, as she put stuff into the pot. I said yes, I don't remember that last time I ate something. I walked towards Adarsha and helped her make stew.
We all ate our bowl of stew in a circle on the floor of the mini apartment.
"So Jason," Adarsha said, wiping some spilled stew juice of the floor.
"What do you think of Starstruck now? They've turned it from joyful and entertaining to dark and evil."
"I can't lie with that, I've already seen crazy things.", I said, taking another spoonful of stew.
"Like what", Amsan asked.
"Well, the first weird thing was is that I seemed to have woken up here when I was at ho-"
"Oh that's normal now,", Adarsha said.
"When we first entered the studio, we felt like we had just woken up." Amsan nodded in agreement.
"Oh.", I said.
"So, sorry for interrupting, but carry on.", Adarsha said.
"The second was when I heard a woman yell something about staying away; that was after I saw a writing on the wall saying "He betrayed us.", and then seeing a shadow on the wall that looked like a demon."
"I then woke up agian, and say a writing saying "Two is better then one." and two figures moving. I started to follow them but then I heard a woman's voice singing this strange song:
"Stick and stones can break my bones
Tearing me bone from limb.
Cannibalized, to survive
Never hurts to kill."
It was when I sang the song, that the two kids stopped eating and looked at me with a strange look. Like they were horrified, Amsan even choked on some stew.
"Sorry sorry, keep talking..", Amsan said, looking to his sister, who agreed. I hesitated, but carried on.
"I started running till I hit something. I then woke up and found myself tied up and two figures looking at me, a woman and a man. The woman had a hunters knife and almost hit me, I managed to doge it and escape. Only to be almost killed by a creature named Maachathi when I went into the costume department. It for some reason spoke in many voices and let me escape, while trying to kill me too.. And you two know the rest.", I finished. Both kids looked at me in shock. I gave them a confused look.
That's when Adarsha spoke.
"You.. met.. the Mad Proxies..", she whispered.
"What?", I asked.
"Where their names 6.D.6 and 7.8.7?", she asked.
"Yes..?", I answered.
"Those two are called the Mad Proxies. They work for-...", Adarsha stopped and looked at Amsan, both giving a worried look.
"For..?..", I asked.
"Do you... remember Celestial World..?", Amsan asked.
"Yes. I worked for that show."
"And who were the main characters?"
"Pandora Saintly Angel and her little sister Legna Young Demon...", Then something hit me.
"Wait. What happened to them?!", I started to panic. The two looked at eachother, the Adarsha responded.
"Pandora... is... the Mad Proxies's.... leader...", She said weakly.
".... WHAT?!", I was shocked. How could a kind and sweet angel like Pandora become the leaders of two crazy people, tho 7.8.7 seemed pretty sane, more than 6.D.6 obviously.
"She's a fallen angel.", Amsan said, seeming to read my mind.
"When you left Starstruck, some weird things happened. One of them being that.. Jesus.. your boss.. seemed to go mad.", Adarsha said, holding her brother close.
"He.. he made something happen, I don't know what, but it made Pandora fall. She's now a fallen angel and leads the Mad Proxies and other crazy people and cartoons in another area."
I felt really sorry for Pandora and everyone else, then I remembered something.
"What.. happened to... Legna?"
Both kids looked at eachother. Then Adarsha gestured me to follow her.
We walked out of the mini apartment and walked. Adarsha had a swiss army knife with her for protection. Amsan followed both of us, clinging to Adarsha's arm. I felt really sorry for the kids, their father was Jesus, Jesus Dainty. Mr. Dainty, or just Jesus as he loved it, didn't seem like the guy who would cause all of this, he was the owner of Starstruck and everything in it. Now here they are, the Dainty kids living somewhere, and their father nowhere to be found, by what I know.
We reached a door, reading, "Dormentory of Legna the young demon", but the words young and demon were crossed out. Amsan went in first, I was about to come in, when Adarsha held me back, saying that he needed to check.
Few minutes later, Amsan came back and said we could come in. When I opened the door, I saw posters of Legna episodes and some props like cutouts and Legna plushies. In the middle of it all, I saw an upside down cross, and who was on it? A cartoon with a black dress, white poncho, black leggings and shoes and white gloves. She had a halo but also small horns that where on short choppy black hair. I didn't recognize her till she spoke. She opened her eyes and looked at me.
"... J-Jason? Is that you?", Her voice soft. I felt my heart skip a beat.
"Legna..?", she nodded, starting to get off, I noticed her tail was gone and her demon wings were now an angel's.
We stared at eachother, no one, not even the Dainty kids, said a word. Then, Legna ran up and hugged me. She whispered, " I know why you're here, you're here to help us and everyone out of Mr. Dainty's sinful world.".
I hugged her too, the Dainty kids ran up and did too.
I don't know how I can help, but I'll do anything to help everyone stuck in Starstruck Animation Studios.
7.8.7, 6.D.6, Pandora, Maachathi, and anyone else, we'll find a way out...
Yep, Nother cliffhanger. This took longer than I thought.
I'm going to put the pictures and info of Maachathi, the Dainty kids, and Legna. I have to say I might go in a hatius, don't know how long it would be tho. I need to find a good way of making chapter 5. Please comment how you felt about all of this. I hope you are enjoying the story, we may if may not meet "them" again...
