(13) Preparations

Later That Day...

Elizabeth's Pov

"This door is beginning to tick me off. I don't see why the tunnel is only open at night... wait no it was opened this morning" All my thoughts were focused on this bricked-up wall although I felt like I was about to lose it. I had my feet trying to push it out of the way but it was useless and only tiring me out. "Why are you in my way? Move stupid bricks" My parents were in the next room so I was keeping my voice low however it wasn't going to stay that way for long. "I'll show you who the boss is here"

Destroying the house wasn't the original plan but as I made my way over to the entrance of the basement, I started to dig through the box of tools my father had left there. He was supposed to take it down although I figured he got sidetracked. Oh well, that wasn't my problem. I was just glad I didn't need to venture down there. As I stared into the box, I thought over my options and settled on a good ol' hammer. If there was anything that brick then I was going to find out. Carrying my weapon of destruction back to the living room I returned to my spot on the floor before I glad the hammer one last look.

"You better not let me down" Holding the hammer to the brick I made a few mock swings until I was satisfied my hammer would hit it directly in the center. "Here goes nothing" Taking a deep breath I lined up the hammer before I put all the strength into the swing. Now, I had expected to hear a loud crack or bang although neither of those things happened. "Are those... strings?" I watched in amazement as the brick was moving to the sides revealing the tunnel but just as quickly it had begun to stitch itself back together.

"It's not brick at all... Ouch! What the fuck?" My finger had only brushed against the strings although as I felt a sudden pain, I fought to keep my voice down to keep my parents from coming into the living room. Looking at the finger I noticed a small bead of blood was pooling to the surface although I didn't understand it. "What the heck cut me?" I had only touched the strings and in my mind, I refused to believe they would have been that sharp. Turning my sights on the little door I took in how the brick was back in place.

"Elizabeth! Supper will be ready in half an hour! Go wash up!" She was bound to come in here if I didn't move so I closed the door and moved the couch back in place. The hammer was put back in the box before I took myself up the staircase. I could have just washed my hands although after the day I had I wanted a nice hot shower to wash off all the filth. "Mother!? Did they fix the water!?" On the first day, we moved in the water in the house was shit brown but I thought the plumber had come over to look at it the other day. "Yes! Just don't stay in there for too long! I pay for the water in this apartment!"

"Okay!" I'd be using as much water as I wanted but she didn't need to know that. Making my way into my bedroom I picked out a nice pair of pajamas and set them on the bed for later. There wasn't much time before supper so I hurried into the bathroom to have a nice relaxing shower. Turning on the water I made sure it was clear. "Perfect" Since it still needed time to warm up, I stripped off my clothes and placed them in the clothes basket. I felt a chill run down my spine as I waited but I didn't think much about it as the bathroom was quite cold.

Once the water had gotten to my liking I stepped in although the strange feeling I got wasn't going away. It was as if I was cold but that shouldn't have been since I was under the hot water of the shower. I let myself think over it however when the strange feeling refused to leave, I turned off the taps. "Why the hell does it feel like someone is watching me?" My eyes scanned the bathroom but no one was there. Hell, there wasn't even a closet or window here so it was strange.

My shower had been ruined so I returned to my bedroom and changed into my pajamas. "Elizabeth, are you ready for supper!? Hurry up it's on the stove! Your father and I are going out for the night!" I hadn't expected them to just leave so suddenly and before I could even react, I heard the front door slam shut. That was lovely, I'd be stuck here for the night while they did whatever weird thing, they were going out to do. "They better have left me something good to eat"

Making my way into the kitchen I peeked into the pan left on the stove although immediately felt like throwing up at the sight of it. "What even is this?" I hadn't eaten much all day however there was no way I could stomach this. Looking in the fridge there wasn't anything either so I decided to take a breath and think over my options. It had taken a minute but I slowly turned towards the living room as an idea came into my head. "Doffy makes good food... I wonder if the passage will be opened?" I'd never know unless I tried and besides if it wasn't then I could always take a hammer to it.

With the key in hand, I moved the couch once again and bent down to unlock the little door. Once the door was pulled towards me, I smiled when I saw the brick was gone. I was about to start my journey through when a smell caused me to stop. "Hmmm~ Something smell good. I wonder what he's cooking?" The smell alone was causing me to drool and my stomach was already growling as I made my way through the tunnel. "What does this tunnel feel smaller?" It was more difficult to move this time around but still, after a couple of minutes, I found myself on the other side.

However, as I looked around, I didn't see Doflamingo. "Doffy? Where are you!?" I may have yelled a little louder than necessary but as someone spoke up behind me, I nearly jumped out of my skin. "I know my eyesight is bad although how is it yours appears to be worse than mine? Fufufu. Welcome back Elizabeth" Spinning on my heels I noticed Doflamingo had been sitting on a chair in the corner of the room. I was surprised I didn't see him earlier but the room had been dimly lit so I would blame it on that.

"Hi, Doffy. I missed you"
