Razor padded down the stairs and stared at the young penguin. "Hmm." He lifted him on his back and walked off.

Memory

Private ran around on the hill giggling joyfully.

"Private could you come here for a second?" Blue called, shaking his head at the smaller.

Private squealed then ran back and wrapped his flippers around him. "You're warm big brothah."

"Close your eyes."

"Why?"

Blue laughed, "Well it won't be a surprise if I tell you."

Private pouted but shut his eyes. He was certainly surprised feeling his forehead being kissed.

"May you be smiled upon baby brother."

Private opened his eyes. "What was that Blue?"

"A good luck charm."

Private raised his brow, "A what?"

"I charmed you so you'll always be happy."

Private's eyes lit up, "Wow..." He hugged his brother again, "I love you big brothah!"

"Ugh...why do I smell grass?"

Wait, Private sat up quickly. A female with yellow feathers was standing near the bed. She giggled. Private squeaked, was this girl watching him sleep?!

"Wait..You smell like Kiki!" Then he noticed the female wearing the necklace. "Hey! That's Kiki's! GIVE IT BACK!"

The female ran off. Private sighed then ran out, he went right then tried going down but rats just attacked his feet. "Ouch! Forget it!" He was about to race back when he saw a key. Private quickly got it then slid up. He went up to a locked door and used the key on it.

The female was there, trying to get near a rat. "Come..Don't be scared.."

The rat sped off.

The female pouted, "Rats seem to hate the scent..."

Private raced forward and shoved the female into a wall. "Give Kiki's necklace back!" She giggled, that's when he noticed she wasn't wearing it anymore. "You don't have it? Where is it?"

The female tilted her head, "Look around."

The female dashed past him. Private looked around a bit then saw a crack behind a bookshelf, he pushed it aside and then squirmed into the space. There was a narrow path leading to the left. He followed it and found the necklace. Private smiled then picked it up and put it around his neck again. He yelped and backed off when a zombie threw himself. Then Private got the heck out of there and shut the door, pushing his back against it as the zombie banged on the other side. After a few minutes, the noise stopped. Private sighed, thank goodness.

Then looked down a path, where the rats were. "Wait..Rats hate the smell..Right?"

He pressed the center of the necklace, a grassy scent sprayed on him. Then he slid down the path, sure enough, the rats ran away from him. He walked by a penguin just standing there, it coughed up blood and started groaning. Private squealed, these things were getting creepy. He went into the door next to the bird. It looked like guest rooms. "Is our house really this big?!"

He started walking past them when one of the open doors shut. Private sighed and went back to open it. Then went back where he was going. There was a groan from the exit. "Oh no, someone's coming!"

A zombie ran out quickly but Private was as quick to slide into a room and shut the door. He frowned as he still heard the zombie out there. Private sighed and sat on the bed in the room. Suddenly the bed moved making him jump off. "Gha! Wait..There was a hole behind the bed?"

He went into it, curved right and moved the pot that was in his way, went door into the next room and opened the door. The zombie heard it and raced over. Private ran back where he came from, with the zombie following. He pulled the pot to stop the creature from coming into the space.

"Whew..."

Then went around the shut the door where the zombie was. It rushed against the door but couldn't open it. He went on to the next room where a penguin doll with yellow feathers and blue eyes sitting on a chair. Private shivered then went around it to the door, but some force pushed him back.

"What the heck?"

"You won't pass..." A creepy voice rang through the air.

Private stomped over to the doll. "Are you stopping me from going in?"

"You won't pass."

"Will you please let me go on!"

The doll then started to repeatedly say 'you won't pass'.

Private groaned in anger.

Suddenly the female from before was next to him. "If you want to get past here...You have to burn this doll, so the spirit will die. And then, boom! You get to enter this room!"

"Stop!" The doll screamed.

The female giggled then sped out.

"You believe that brat?!" The doll growled as Private picked it up.

Timeskip

Private dragged himself towards a door. "Finally..There must be a place to burn this doll ovah here..."

He froze hearing voices behind the door. "What are you doing?! Why do you want to save him so bad? Save him and we'll never get free!"

Suddenly someone feminine screamed. Another scream, "Stop!"

Private went through the door. The female was sitting, using her flippers as a support as she breathed heavily, there was a pool of blood around her and a knife was in her chest. Private winced. He tugged the knife out.

"I just...wanted to..be part of your..family..." At this, Private frowned sadly.

Then she was gone. Private sighed then walked out then went right. There was a key! Private smiled and bent to pick it up. He squeaked hearing a dog growl, he hid behind something to avoid attention to himself. He pouted as he watched the dog grab the key with its mouth then gulp it down.

"Well that's great." Private grumbled. The dog wandered off.
----------------------

Private sneaked behind a desk and glared at the dog that was wandering around. He reached in his bag, and took out a earmuff and put it on. Then pulled out a seemingly normal plant, but it wasn't. He pulled plant out, causing it to scream loudly, the dog fell over. Private went over and sat near its stomach and got out the knife. "Sorry..But I need that key."

He got out the key with a few 'ews' then raced back to the room where the female had died. He unlocked the door at the end of the room.

"Finally. I can burn this brat." He out the doll and held it over the fire in the steel box that was in the middle of the room.

"You want to destroy me?" The doll asked. Private made a uh-huh sound.

"I won't open the door if you do!"

"Suure."

"STOP!" The doll screamed. "PLEASE PRIVATE!"

Private pulled the doll back, "Kiki?"

"Please Private, listen to me."

"STOP! You're not Kiki!" He threw the doll into the fire.

Private then went back to the room where the doll used to be. He went through the door and his eyes widened. There was a black-purple hole swirling around. "What...?"

Razor stepped out of the shadows, "That leads to the ghost world."

Private stared at the hole.

"Do you really want to go through that?" Private turned towards Razor and nodded. "Very well, then take this." He dropped a bag in front of Private.

"What's this?"

"A magic orb is in this bag. One of the last. The power in this orb will help you when you most need it."

"Can I save Blue with it?" Private asked hopefully.

"Yes. It will end the curse."

"So Kiki can rest once the curse is gone?" He asked.

"If your love reaches him, I'm sure he will."

Private grabbed the bag then jumped in the hole, he accidentally dropped the illusion tube.
