38 Chapter 36: Returning To The Hollows Castle 2 (2/2)
”Ah!” She cupped her face in her hands and yelled in pain
...
4 maids suddenly saw a small boy running around.
”Stop!” They all chased him as he ran around them
He ran down the stairs and they hastily followed.
He snapped his small little fingers as soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
Suddenly all 4 maids lost their footing and tumbled down the stairs.
They all groaned as they rolled around in aching pain.
..
He looked around and saw another flight of stairs...that led down...
He walked down the dark stairway and he finally reached an old big door...
He pressed his hand on the door and lightly pushed it forward. The door's hinges broke off and collapsed inwards. Before the door could make an impact on the floor, it was covered with a black mist.
He sat the doll in his hands on the floor.
He snapped his small fingers and suddenly....
A black mist swirled around the doll and it slowly grew.
...

”Ah...my back” Ivery stretched and popped all of her stiff joints...
Ivery blinked and saw Luther looking up at her..
”You're so cute....” Ivery slightly blushed and reached down for him
”Don't...” His small hands slapped her hands away
”Aww...come on” Ivery smiled
”Only once...” He looked away and blushed
”Hehe” Ivery grabbed Luther and squeezed him in an overbearing hug
”Ivery, too tight” He tried to push her away
”Sorry...” She released him
Ivery continued to stretch her arms out....being a doll was so uncomfortable...
She had requested Luther put a temporary curse on her to make her a doll in order to easily bring her with him to the basement as he incapacitated the obstacles that were the maids..
”Was this method really necessary?” Luther's body changed back into his 8-year-old appearance
”No, but it was the most interesting one I thought of” She laughed
”Of course you'd try to make fun out of this situation” Luther chuckled with a slight sigh
..
”Now...what is this place...?” Ivery looked around and couldn't really see farther down as the hallway stretched out into the darkness
”My guess is that this is the basement...” Luther said
”Hmm...” Ivery's hands brightly glowed with a golden light and illuminated the area brighter than the dim lights on some parts of the moldy concrete walls
”Let's go...” Ivery walked forward
Luther followed her as they progressed down into the basement.
..
Ivery and Luther could hear noises as they continued to walk further down.
”You hear that...?” Ivery asked
”Yes” Luther nodded
The sounds became louder when Ivery and Luther were met with a door with 8 different locks.
”Totally not suspicious” Ivery looked at the locks
”Let's do this the stealthy way...” Ivery's body disappeared into a pink mist
”Great idea” Luther smiled and his body vanished into a black mist
...
Ivery and Luther teleported on the other side of the locked door..
”....!” Ivery's eyes widened at the sight
”Help! Somebody! Help us!”
”Save us..!”
”Help! Help!”
The sounds of desperate crying children shouted from each and every cell.
”Oh no...” Ivery's eyes started watering
She could clearly see every one of her siblings in cells, covered in cuts, whiplashing marks, scars from previous wounds, some of them were heavily yet poorly bandaged.
The glowing light that emitted from her hands flickered from her wavering emotions.
Each and every one of them had their hair cut off, some of them were curled in balls after being stripped of all of their clothes.
”Awful..these maids....they're all disgusting” Ivery balled her hands into fists
”They all are...every single one of them..” Luther looked all around him and saw all of the crying children chained up
”This has to be stopped..” Ivery looked at Luther
”Then what shall we do about this?” Luther waited for her to speak
”.....” Ivery looked at him
