Chapter 188 - Chapter 98 Part 2 The Key in the Castle.

At last, Sophie and Fiona found out where the key was located, inside a castle known as the Hernandez Family Castle. But what exactly did they want with that key?

Sophie: "Alright... we're here."

Fiona: "Didn't take that long."

They got out.

Sophie: "Are you sure this is a good idea, Fiona?"

Fiona: "Sigh... No... But we didn't have a choice. That deal back then happened so we could find Lil. We have that idiot Einsenheim to thank for it."

Sophie: "We're going to get in trouble."

Fiona: "I haven't gotten paid for the last three months anyway. Huh. No salary... no work. So technically, I'm not working for the Dark Umbrella in that regard. It's like working for a company. I work the way my boss wants as long as they pay me. If they don't pay me, I'm not obligated to follow their orders anymore... right?"

Sophie: "Yeah... maybe... Yeah, screw it. I mean, hey... what are they going to do? Take away the salary they aren't even giving us? Hmph."

Fiona: "Exactly."

They walked forward.

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "What?"

Sophie: "I... I saw something, Fiona."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Sophie: "Someone... walked past the window... but... it didn't exactly look human."

Fiona: "Sophie... this isn't a horror movie."

Sophie: "I'm serious..."

They walked to the door.

Fiona: "Oh... it's locked. Figures. Give me a lockpick. Maybe I can open it."

Sophie: "Here."

She handed her one.

Fiona: "Was that in your back pocket... or did you pull it out of your ass?"

Sophie: "Hahaha... looks like someone's in a good mood, huh?"

Fiona: "No... That was a serious question."

She tried opening the door.

Fiona: "Okay... mmm... Yeah... Yeah... deeper for this part..."

Sophie: "Fiona... that sounds wrong. Change the sentence."

Fiona: "...Not my problem if your mind is that dirty... Ghh... I... got you... yeah..."

Click.

Fiona: "Done."

Sophie: "Nice work."

She smacked Fiona's butt.

Fiona: "Ugh..."

She slowly turned toward her.

Fiona: "Hey... don't ever do that again."

Sophie: "Sorry."

They went inside.

Sophie: "I have to admit, you've got a nice figure."

Fiona: "Can you focus already?"

Sophie: "No, otherwise I'll get scared... I just saw something."

Fiona: "Ah... okay... that's a good reason to slap someone's ass. What are you going to do if you get even more scared? Strip me?"

Sophie: "No... I'd scream... and jump out the window. Don't worry... hhhh."

She saw someone staring at her briefly and hid behind the wall.

Sophie: "There... there, Fiona."

Fiona: "Hmm... Come out already, Sophie. I'm tired and I want to finish this before it's time for my bath."

Sophie: "Mmm... okay."

She slowly came out.

Crash!

Suddenly a loud noise echoed.

Sophie: "What was that?"

Fiona: "Probably the wind."

Sophie: "Dude... this isn't a movie. Stop saying it was probably the wind. Only Marcus says stuff like that."

Fiona: "It probably was the wi..."

Rooorrrrrrr.

A faint scream.

Sophie: "Sweating... Okay... that wasn't the wind."

Fiona: "Yep... I think you're right. Someone's here."

Sophie: "I wish the wind would just carry me somewhere else right now... to a nice hot sauna... oh yeah..."

Fiona: "Sweating... Let's hurry."

Sophie: "What... further in there?"

Fiona: "Yeah... we have to find the key."

Sophie: "Ohhh... you owe me a lot of cookies!"

Fiona: "Fine... too bad I don't have any money. Complain to Ms. Valentine."

Sophie: "Ghhh... old hag."

Meanwhile.

Ms. Valentine: "Achoo!... Ugh... Achoo!... Oh dear..."

Meanwhile.

Sophie: "Mmm... Maybe it's that long armed monster... Slenderboy?"

Fiona: "Slenderboy? You poor thing... stop watching movies. That thing doesn't exi... Um... Sophie... just to make sure... he had long arms... right?"

Sophie: "Yeah."

Fiona: "No eyes."

Sophie: "Exactly."

Fiona: "And a gentleman's suit?"

Sophie: "Yeah, just like in the movie. I didn't know you watched it."

Fiona: "No... I never watched it... it's... standing... right there."

Sophie: "Huh?"

She looked ahead.

Sophie: "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."

Fiona: "Shh!"

She covered Sophie's mouth as they hid inside a closet.

Sophie: "Mmm... Fiona... I thought that was just from horror movies..."

Fiona: "Looks like something like that really exists."

Sophie: "Hahh..."

It walked past them.

Sophie: "Mmm."

Fiona: "Mm."

Fart.

Sophie: "Oops."

Fiona: "Sweating... Ugh... Sophie..."

Sophie: "Sorry... I always fart when I'm scared."

Fiona: "Sweating... Wow... you're saying that so casually. Most women would try to hide it."

Sophie: "Why? Huh? Women fart too. Tss... I'm sure you do it in the bathroom."

Fiona: "Yeah... yeah."

Sophie: "I bet Siegfried is the kind of guy who thinks women's farts smell like flowers."

Fiona: "Sweating... No... I wouldn't go that far."

Sophie: "Believe me, Fiona... there really are guys like that."

Fiona: "Quiet... If this keeps up it'll eat us and fart out our remains."

Sophie: "Sweating... Um... okay... Hey Fiona... I hope what just touched me is your gun."

Fiona: "No. That's my hand. It's cramped in here."

Sophie: "Oh... great... Could you maybe move up a little from my stomach... whoa... not that high..."

Fiona: "It's cramped, idiot."

Sophie: "Yeah... okay."

Fiona: "Can you get your hand out of my crotch?"

Sophie: "It's cramped in here... Is it gone?"

Fiona: "No idea."

Sophie: "Should we open it?"

Fiona: "Yeah."

Sophie: "Okay."

They opened it.

Sophie: "Um."

Fiona: "Sweating... Um."

The monster was standing right in front of them.

Sophie: "Hehehe... hello."

Fiona: "Have a nice day."

Monster: "Rooooaaaarrrrr!"

Sophie: "Aaaaargh!"

Fiona: "Aaargh! Run!"

Sophie: "Hahh!"

They ran.

Sophie: "My goodness... It heard us..."

Fiona: "Ghhh..."

Sophie: "Huh... where did it go?"

Fiona: "Hmm?"

They turned around.

Sophie: "It's gone."

Fiona: "Why?"

Sophie: "No idea."

Fiona: "Probably because of your fart."

Sophie: "Huh?... Maybe... I did eat garlic today... or... it's behind us."

Fiona: "Yeah... maybe."

Splop.

Something dripped onto their hair.

Fiona: "Um..."

Sophie: "Hey... something's dripping, but it isn't raining."

Fiona: "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

Sophie: "Yeah... it's behind us and drooling."

They looked up... and they were right.

Sophie: "Aaaaargh!"

Fiona: "Aaaaargh!"

Sophie: "Run!"

They ran.

Sophie: "Stay away from me!"

She threw the pistol at it.

Dong!

Fiona: "You're supposed to shoot it, not throw the gun."

Sophie: "Oh... sorry. When I'm scared I don't think straight."

Fiona: "Yeah... you become like one of those horror movie characters who has no idea how to survive."

Sophie: "Is it behind us?... Huh, it's gone again."

Fiona: "Is it playing with us?"

Sophie: "Screw it... let's find the key... Huh... there it is!"

Fiona: "Huh?"

They saw a glass display case. Inside was a key.

Sophie: "That was... kind of... too easy."

Fiona: "Yeah... whoever hid it doesn't really know how to do it."

Sophie: "Let's grab it and get out of here."

They touched the key.

Suddenly they landed in another room.

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Huh?"

They looked around.

Everything was... different.

Sophie: "What the hell is happening now?"

Fiona: "Some kind of... magical room?"

Sophie: "Why?"

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Sophie: "What do we do now?"

Fiona picked up the key.

Fiona: "Hmm?"

She put it back where it had been, but nothing changed.

Fiona: "I see... Once you touch it... you're trapped."

Sophie: "Um... does that mean we're stuck here now?"

Fiona: "Looks like it... We have to keep going. Follow this path."

Sophie: "Should we split up?"

Fiona: "No... absolutely not. What if something happens? Staying together is smarter."

Sophie: "But then at least one of us could get out while the other stays trapped here."

Fiona: "Huh?"

Sophie: "I mean... I hope if that happens... it'd be me who stays behind."

Fiona: "You're coming with me. I'm not leaving without you, even if it means we're trapped here forever."

Sophie: "Okay... okay... geez... Then we'll stay together."

They followed the path.

Sophie: "Oh... this is creepy..."

Fiona: "Look."

Sophie: "Huh!"

The room had no floor. Only floating chairs and tables.

Sophie: "How are we supposed to get across?"

Fiona: "Looks like... we'll have to jump across them."

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "We don't have a choice."

She took off her jacket and threw away her cane.

Fiona: "Let's do it."

Sophie: "But... what if we fall? Will we die?"

Fiona: "Not necessarily. This could be a trap... or maybe not."

Sophie: "Oh my God!"

She took off her jacket too. She was wearing a backless outfit, while Fiona wore a brown T shirt.

Sophie: "Since when do you wear brown?"

Fiona: "Since when do you not wear brown?"

Sophie: "Ahh... it drives me crazy how well we know each other now... the only thing missing is knowing what each other tastes like."

Fiona: "Sophie... stop it... Some questions don't need answers."

Sophie: "Yeah... you're right... I'll jump first, then I'll help you."

She jumped.

Sophie: "Whoa... that was close... Huh... I almost shit myself."

Fiona: "Okay..."

She jumped.

Sophie: "Got you."

Fiona: "Thanks..."

Sophie: "Alright... now let's jump over there."

Fiona: "Okay."

Sophie: "Get on my back."

Fiona: "Huh?"

Sophie: "Fiona, your leg won't handle it. I'm athletic... when it comes to jumping... don't ask why."

Fiona: "That's because you skipped school as a kid and kept jumping over the fence."

Sophie: "Oh man... I thought you'd forgotten... Yeah... okay."

Fiona climbed onto Sophie's back.

Fiona: "Like this?"

Sophie: "Oh... yeah... You're heavier than I thought."

Fiona: "Sweating... Sorry. Nobody's forcing you."

Sophie: "I was kidding... Sniff... Sniff... Oh... you ate the cake today!"

Fiona: "Just jump already!"

Sophie: "Alright!"

She jumped.

Sophie: "Hup... Are you okay?"

Fiona: "Yeah."

Sophie: "Okay... then I'll jump again!"

She jumped.

Sophie: "Hehe..."

The chair suddenly disappeared.

Sophie: "Oh."

Fiona: "Oh..."

Weeee!

They fell.

Sophie: "Aaargh!"

She grabbed onto the edge.

Sophie: "Hold on tight..."

Fiona: "Okay."

Sophie: "Aaargh... My pants are slipping. Fiona, stop hanging onto my butt."

Fiona: "I don't have a choice. I had to hold onto something... bigger than your foot."

Sophie: "Ughhh..."

She climbed back up.

Sophie: "Phew."

Fiona: "Hahhh..."

Sophie: "Thanks for calling my butt big."

Fiona: "I never said that. I said bigger than your foot."

Sophie: "Oh... right... Wait... are you saying my butt isn't nice?"

Fiona: "Sophie, I'm a woman. I don't care how big your butt is."

Sophie: "I bet mine's bigger than yours."

Fiona: "Once again... I don't care. One thing though... I don't fart in front of people."

Sophie: "Sweating... Fair point."

They stood up.

Sophie: "Ugh... you know... you weigh more than I expected."

Fiona: "If you tell anyone that, I'll make sure you won't be using that tongue."

Sophie: "Alright already... Geez... Oh yeah... you ate the cake!"

Fiona: "Sweating... Whistling... I don't know what you're talking about."

Sophie: "Oh come on!"

Fiona: "Fine. But I ate it with Siegfried and Rosika."

Fiona blushed a little.

Sophie: "Aha... great... snitch."

Fiona: "As long as I'm not the only one getting in trouble."

Sophie: "Sigh... Um... Where's the key?"

Fiona: "Hmm? Don't worry. I have it."

Sophie: "Where?"

Fiona opened her mouth and pulled it out.

Sophie: "Ugh... Fiona... what the hell?"

Fiona: "Here. Take it. I don't have pockets."

Sophie: "Ugh... man..."

She took it.

Sophie: "Mmm... you really drool a lot."

Fiona: "Be glad I didn't swallow it. Otherwise you'd have gotten it after I used the toilet."

Sophie: "Ugh... true... good point."

She put it in her pocket.

Sophie: "Okay... what now?"

Fiona: "Hmm... The room... seems different this time."

Sophie: "Um... Fiona."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Sophie: "Look up there."

They looked upward. There was... a path.

Sophie: "Are we standing upside down?"

Fiona: "No... it's really just up there."

Sophie: "Oh."

Fiona: "Alright. Let's go."

Sophie: "Okay... Ouch."

Fiona: "Hmm?"

Sophie held her leg.

Sophie: "Fuck... I think I hurt my foot."

Fiona: "Get on my back."

Sophie: "Huh? You can't carry me with your leg."

Fiona: "Yes, I can."

Sophie: "Oh... okay."

She leaned onto Fiona, and Fiona lifted her up.

Sophie: "Is it really necessary to keep your hands on my leg?"

Fiona: "So you don't fall. Hold on tight, Princess."

Sophie: "Stop that."

Fiona: "Alright."

She kept walking.

Fiona: "For someone who eats so much, you don't weigh that much."

Sophie: "Hey! You're really mean today."

Fiona: "Only today?"

Sophie: "Hahhh."

Fiona: "Hmm... I can't find an exit."

Sophie: "Hahh... This feels like a yuri."

Fiona: "Sophie, say that one more time and I'll throw you down."

Sophie: "I'm not saying it is... Man! Siegfried better not find out. That guy likes stuff like this "Have you ever looked in the garage? There's a magazine in there... two women... kissing... you know."

Fiona: "hmm."

Sophie: "Hmm

Fiona: "That guy needs a doctor."

Sophie: "Yeah."

Fiona: "By the way... don't you dare fart while I'm carrying you."

(Silence)

Sophie: "Don't worry... Just a tip though... don't be surprised if it happens."

Fiona: "As long as you don't shit your pants. And if you do... you'll be washing me every day for a week."

Sophie: "Yeah... yeah."

Fiona: "Hey... look. There's a door."

Sophie: "Ugh... yes!"

They walked to the door and opened it.

Sophie: "Hmm?"

Fiona: "We're... already outside?"

Sophie: "Looks like it."

Tap. Tap.

Clap. Clap.

The Finger: "Fantastic, you two."

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Who the hell are you?"

The Finger: "Allow me to introduce myself... I am The Finger... Greetings, my ladies... I am one of the Hunt..."

Tap. Tap.

The Joker: "Aww... how adorable... you two."

The Finger: "I'm sure you don't mind. I called The Joker because I thought you might have put her in danger in there."

The Joker: "Fiona carrying Sophie on her back... that's just... adorable... Sniff... I can even smell your sweat!"

Fiona: "Go see a doctor."

Sophie: "Preferably one who ties you up and locks you in an asylum."

The Joker: "The key... my dears?"

Fiona: "Sophie, give it to her."

Sophie: "Here!"

She threw it to her. The Joker caught it.

The Joker: "Thank you very much. See, Finger? You were right. Those two finished much faster than expected."

The Finger: "You owe me a meal now."

The Joker: "If I have to. Well then, you two... Oh... and indeed, I almost forgot... Where is my morphine?!"

She threw it to her.

Fiona: "Here."

The Joker: "Ghhh... You did that so I wouldn't be able to follow you properly... didn't you?"

Fiona: "I've done it twice now. Once while you were talking to Sophie, and once in the library."

The Joker: "Whatever... you two... I should really praise you... but... I'm a little annoyed... because you just had to find out what this key was. Oh well... we're leaving now."

The Finger: "It was an honor, my ladies."

He left with The Joker. The Joker looked at Fiona and smiled.

The Joker: "...Be ready, my dears."

Sophie: "Huh?"

Fiona: "Huh?"

Then she looked at Sophie.

The Joker: "Hehe. Bye, Sophie Love you.
