That helps. ^________^ I hate how EVERYONE loves Cliff, but.... once again, just my worthless opinion...

I really like your story. It seems a tad bit rushed, but... ah, its great anyways ^^

[pendulous threads]

I know I rush everything, *sigh* I'm just so eager to work on Melody and get to certain points in the story and my brain is like...not in my head. Yes, I'm sorry I fell for Cliff...*sigh* Along with the other gazillions of Cliff fans. Well, just to let you know. The story is going to get weird. And the hint is, Kai isn't really dead. Well, it's not really a hint but...okay, I'm telling you Kai isn't really dead. ^_^ My mom gave me the idea...@_@...ask her...

Now I'm REALLY curious... <______< >_______>

[pendulous threads]

Lol. I'm going to post another chapter...

Chapter Twenty-two: Visitor

"Here is your breakfast." Harris said the next morning. He unlocked the door and quickly slid to plates with eggs on them inside. "What happened to Rick?"

"I don't know." I said innocently. "He just got mad and started banging his head on a bar. Finally he went unconcious." I lied. Harris chuckled and started to walk back inside. "Wait, Harris!" I called.

"What is it?" he asked, turning around. I stood up and went to the door of the cage.

"I have to go to the bathroom." I said. Harris came over and unlocked the cage. He then took my arm and dragged me inside. I started to walk into the bathroom and he started to follow me in. "Excuse me? Can I have a little privacy?"

"Well, I guess so." Harris said. "But no funny business like trying to brakeout or something." I nodded and closed the bathroom door.

Once I came out, Harris was over near the window, looking outside. I made a run for the dor, but he caught my arm. I stomped my foot in anger and he led me back out to the cage.

Okay, since I'm nice I am going to allow you one visitor." Harris said. I nodded and smiled. "Who will it be?"

"Cliff." I said immediatly. "I want to see Cliff. Bring him here."

"I should have known..." Harris mumbled. He walked back into the house and then out the front door and started on his way to the farm. I saw Stu walk out the front door of the house right beside the mayors.

"STU!" I called. "Stu over here!" he looked around, and then spotted me. He ran over and looked at me strangely. "Okay, Stu. I need you to do me a favor. Please pick this lock." I pointed to the lock on the cage, but Stu just stood there.

"Sorry lady, you did something bad." he replied. He then ran off to the church. I started cussing loudly and I kicked one og the bars. I fell down and then noticed that Cliff was walking over to the cage.

"Shelly!" he said in alarm. "Shelly, are you okay?" I nodded and I stuck my hand out of the cage to hold his.

"I'm fine." I replied. "God, how am I ever gonna get out of here? Do you have anything to pick that lock with?"

"Sorry, I don't." he replied. "Hey, what happened to Rick?" he laughed and noticed Rick laying on the floor.

"Got on my nerves." I giggled. "He was hitting on me again so I punched him in the face, and he ended up hitting his head on a bar. Then he went unconcious." We both laughed and then Harris walked out of the house.

"Okay, it's time for Cliff to leave." Harris sighed. He grabbed Cliff's arm but Cliff let go of my hand and grasped one of the bars on the cage. "I said it's time to go." Harris repeated.

"We weren't done talking." Cliff argued. Harris tugged at Cliff's arm but Cliff held onto the bar. Soon Harris grabbed both of Cliff's feet while Cliff put both hand on the bars and pulled himself away from Harris. "Let go of the bars young man! You are leaving."

"No!" Cliff yelled. Harris pulled on Cliff's feet but Cliff tried to pull himself towards the bar. Harris then smiled and let go of his feet, which made Cliff fly forward, and his head came through the bars. "Ow..." he mumbled. "Great, now I'm stuck, Harris!"

"Guess you should have listened!" Harris cackled. He went inside, leaving Cliff's head stuck between two bars. He sighed and looked over at me.

"Will you kind of like, push on my head?" he asked. I went over to him and tried to push his head out from between the bars. Cliff pulled his head, and finally he fell backwards and was free. "Thank you!" he sighed in relief. "By the way...I think I know of another suspect."

"Who?" I said anxiously.

"Popuri." he whispered. "Yesterday when I came out of the Inn, she was going inside. She didn't go home to read a book!"

[melody]

Hah. Don't worry everybody. You will find out who it is soon.

[pendulous threads]

[pendulous threads]

ALAS! I HAVE.......MORE!

Chapter Twenty-three: Holy Crap

"Good morning Shelly!" Rick chimed as I woke up next to him in the cage. "What a wonderful day so far! How did yesterday go? I missed it being knocked out and all..."

"Rick, shut up." I snapped. "It went fine except for that fact that Harris tried to follow me into the bathroom, Cliff got his head stuck between two bars, and I know of another suspect." Rick immediately started asking questions.

"Who is it? How do you know?" he asked excitedly.

"Rick, I wanred you to shut up." I said. "If you don't I might have to punch you again." Rick shut is mouth and looked at me, expecting me to say something about the suspect. Someone came out the back door of the mayor's house and walked over to us.

"Hey guys. Does anyone know what I was doing in the mayor's house?" Kai asked. "Harris was looking at me funny when I got up. I hope he wasn't getting any idea's like making out with me or something..."

"HOLY CRAP!" Rick shrieked. He crawled into a corner of the cage far away from Kai, and trembled. "YOU'RE ALIVE!"

"Of course you nit-wit!" Kai shot at him. "I just saw you at the Inn yesterday...why would you think I was dead?" Rick's eyes grew wide and he started to shake more violently. I was scared myself. Was Kai really alive? How is this possible?

"Kai, Cliff and I found your body in a garbage bag, floating out on tha lake!" I told him. "You were dead."

"No..." he said uneasily. "The last thing I remember was going into my room at the Inn with Popuri, and her going into the bathroom to get changed..."

"Changed into what?" I asked. A twisted smile formed on his face. I shouldn't have asked.

"The outfit I gave her." he answered slyly. "I just love shopping at Victoria's Secret for my main ladies..." I slapped my forehead for even asking what she was putting on. "They have those nice red thongs..."

"Kai!" I shouted. "Just...get me out of here!" He looked started but picked the lock with a bobby pin he had in his pocket.

"Can we leave Rick in there?" he asked once I stepped out of the cage. I started laughing.

"Of course we can!" Kai and I walked off leaving a petrified Rick sobbing in the cage. "Okay...we have to go see Popuri!"

"Why?" Kai asked. "So her and I can pick up where we left off?"

"No." I answered firmly. "So we can question her. She was the last person you saw, right?" Kai nodded and we headed towards Poultry Farm. Once we arrived Lillia was at the counter, reading a magazine. She glanced up at us and smiled.

"Hello, can I help you...KAI?" she jumped in her chair, and her eyes widened. "Wha-what are you doing here? I thought you were dead!" She sat there for a moment, trying to figure out if she was seeing thigs, or if it was really him.

"It's a long story." Kai said. "Okay so...Popuri came to the Inn and..."

"He doesn't know the whole story Lillia. That's why he isn't going to tell you." I nudged Kai in the side. "So, where is Popuri?"

"Not here." Lillia answered, twirling her hair around her finger. She seemed quite bored with us. "You can go wait for her in her room if you would like." Kai and I nodded and walked up the stairs into a dark room. I tried to find a light switch, be there wasn't one. Kai finally found a flashlight laying around the floor and flicked it on. He pointed the flashlight at the floor were a huge circle of candles were in the middle. I found matches laying on a desk and lit the candles. I could fainly see the color of Popuri's room, which surprised me. I was expecting pink walls, but instead gazing at black.

"Wow..." Kai gasped. "It looks like some sort of evil lair! Awesome!"

"I bet it is." I mumbled. I then noticed something laying in the middle of the circle of candles. A doll. Kai noticed it too, and picked it up.

"Wow! It looks just like me!" he exclaimed. "Muscular, handsome..."

"Oh, stop that." I laughed. "The doll looks much better than you do. It couldn't be a doll of you!" He playfully hit me and laid the doll back down. I searched the room a little more and found a book on Popuri's desk. 'How To Make Voo-doo Dolls.' I gasped at threw the book at Kai. He caught it and examined the front.

"Wow, Popuri is into voo-doo?" he asked, astonished. "Such a sweet girl, with an evil hiding beneath the girly giggles and pink fluffy hair. I like it."

"Kai, don't you see it now?" I asked. Of course he didn't. "She made a voo-doo doll out of you! She performed a voo-doo curse on you!" He started to laugh hysterically, when we heard footsteps rushing up the stairs. Kai and I dove into the closet and left the door of it cracked open so we could see.

"How are you my little dollies?" Popuri asked entering the room. She turned on the light switch I had failed to find, and sat down in the middle of the circle of candles. She picked up the doll of Kai and stroked it lovingly. "Oh, I'm so sorry. But you didn't really love me. I just had to throw you up against the wall and then stab you with a needle."

"That's why my butt hurts so bad..." Kai mumbled. I glared at him, hinting him to shut up. We turned out gaze to Popuri again.

"I'm glad they locked up that loser Shelly. I don't know why you like her so much anyways! It's not like she is prettier than me!" she cried. "Why am I not good enough? Why her?" She stroked the doll again and laid it down next to her. She then crawled over to a drawer and pulled it open to reveal more dolls. I saw one of me, Cliff, Karen, Rick, and Barley. She pulled out Cliff's doll and laughed.

"No..." I whispered. Kai slapped his hand over my mouth, thinking I would scream at Popuri or something.

"You are going to pay Shelly. You little 'Snuggly Wuggly Bear' will be dead by morning." she let out a evil laugh. "Why do you always have to be so pretty, and perfect? All the guys like you...not me!" She took out a pair of scissors and glanced from Cliff's doll to the scissors. "So sorry Cliff. Sorry your death has to be so much more tragic than Kai's." she laughed again.
