Taxey's pov

I let the doll go to check on Mitch, just double checking. I don't want another flaw in my plan, and just in case I better get those two back here until they make a mistake they are going to regret. I left my room and went into Ty's first.

I looked at his vacant frame, the roses the only things inhabited it. Man that kid was surprisingly strong for his small stature. I walked up to his frame and took a rose out of it. I studied it for a bit until I plucked a few petals off of it.

Mitch's pov

  Sky kept thinking about where Taxey could be. He would roll out one option after the other, Seto, Ty and I helping him. This went on until we had no more options.

"This i-" Ty stopped mid sentence and grabbed his arm.

  We watched as Ty groaned a bit, and finally let go of his arm.

"Aww shit." Ty whimpered.

  Series of cuts along his arm was under right where Ty grabbed onto his arm. Some were deep enough to show only a bit of bone. I immediately got queasy by the sight of it and I could tell Sky did as well.

"Ty we need to go back now!" Seto yelled.

"W-why? Where are you going?" I asked frantically.

"Taxey is calling us! Come on Ty, through the passage!" Seto grabbed Ty by his uninjured arm and dragged him through a passage I haven't seen before.

"Don't worry, we'll come back for you guys!" Ty cried out as they disappeared from sight.

I was shaken by that event, and I could tell Sky was too. He had his hand over his mouth, I didn't know if he was scared out of his mind or that he was trying not to puke. I walked over to him and rubbed his back, this isn't right for him to experience this. None of us are supposed to experience this, we just somehow got here by some huge mistake.

"Don't worry Sky, we'll get out of this together." I reassured him.

"Y-yeah." Was his answer.

"Come on, we better get going before those creepy dolls come back." Sky agreed, although he thought the dolls to be cute.

I grabbed his hand and led him out of the room, and back into the room that was trashed. I looked back at Sky who was still scared, I thought Sky was a strong guy. I guess this place got to him, just like how it got to me.

I looked around the room for any other doors I didn't see before. I spotted one but it was hard to see, I checked my rose to see if it's still healthy, I told Sky to do the same. He did it but with high caution, I can't stand seeing him like this.

"Sky, are you ok?" Sky just glanced at me.

I made Sky face me, and made him look directly at me.(yeah, I ship Skyenja and many other Sky related ships. So there will be some fluff.) Sky was startled by my sudden action, and I hugged him.

"Shhhhh, don't worry. I promise that we will get out of here safely." I whispered into his ear while running my fingers through his small ponytail.

Sky was tense when I hugged him but soon he relaxed and sighed. His arms hung limply by his side, and he rested his head on the crook of my neck.

"Thank you Mitch." Sky sighed and finally hugged me back.

I smiled and pulled away from the hug, he seemed to be better now. He smiled back and regained his composure.

"Come on Mitch, let's get out of this hell hole." This time he grabbed my hand and led me to the door. Looks like I got my old Sky back.

Ty's pov

Fuck these cuts hurt badly but hey they'll heal eventually. Seto and I scrambled through the small passage so that we can get back in time before Taxey took anymore petals. We eventually made it to Seto's room before anything else happened.

"Ty! You better come here before I rip off anymore petals!" Taxey yelled from my room.

"Go!" Seto whisper yelled into my ear.

I took off running out of his room and into mine to greet a not so pleased Taxey. She had one of my roses in her hand and a few petals were scattered around her feet.

"Where were you?" I could see the fire in her eye.

"Ummm, I was just walking around. I can't stand forever you know." I quickly responded.

"And where exactly were you walking?" She pushed me on with more questions.

"Oh just some room with, ummmmm, paintings." Hopefully she buys into my poorly thought out excuse.

"And was Seto with you?" She eyed me suspiciously.

"Ummmm... Yes." I told her.

"Ok, at least you didn't interfere this time." She sighed and placed the rose back in the frame and left.

She walked past me and back into her room. I sighed a breath of relief and walked over to my frame. I glanced at the damaged rose and then to my cut up arm. At least I had a warning before she could've pulled off more petals.

"Ty, you alright?" Seto walked into my room.

"I'm fine, I just need some water to heal myself." I answered.

"Well at least it's just some minor cuts, way better than last time." He comforted me.

"Yeah, yeah way better." I sighed and went into my frame.

The plain white canvas surrounded me from three sides but on my front I could see my room. Seto still stood there with a small smile on his face, and soon he went back to his room. I guess we have to help Sky and Mitch another time. For now looks like Taxey is going to keep a close eye on us.

Third person pov

The doll scurried along the passage, heading back to the doll room. It squeaked every once in awhile, filling the passage with ominous echoes. It made its way to the doll room, and finally arrived.

It stopped and surveyed the room and it spotted no human anywhere. It squeaked in surprise and worry. It immediately hurried back to tell Taxey the news. The plan has failed once again.
