We arrived at Khell’s house before Moon came home. Khell
immediately ran up to his room and slammed the door closed. I shrugged and new
better to stay home in case Khell would attack himself in the mirror again.
I decided to make myself cozy and settled down in Moon’s living room and watched
TV.
Khell’s room isn’t really the most decorative.
It was really quite bare. His bed was taking away from him by Moon when he kept
on jumping on it and getting his head stuck in the ceiling when he jumped too
high. She hid the mirror behind a curtain and forbid him to look at it. The
only light there was came through the window. He had a lamp before but one day
he took out the bulb and turned on the lamp with his paw in the bulb socket.
All he was allowed to have was a TV and his game system. Which, if he did anything
stupid too, Moon would take it away.
Khell popped open the book on the floor and
looked up the growing potion he wanted. He liked it that Colbolt was there to
help him but soon Khell would be able to defend for himself and give those gangster
Neopets his revenge. He found the page and went to get a pot. After setting
it in front of himself on the floor, he began to read the ingredients.
Most of it he could get from Moon’s cabinet.
She liked magic a lot, and always liked to perform spells to entertain him.
Khell looked at the last ingredient.
Hmm, hair of a WereLupe. Where am I going
to get some hair of WereLupe? Khell thought. He put a paw under his chin
and thought, and thought, and thought until thinking began to hurt. So he began
to pound his head against the wall. But that seemed to make it worse so he stopped.
Maybe Colbolt would know, he thought.
Khell stood there a few seconds before a small light went on in his head.
Oh yeah! Colbolt is a WereLupe! he finally
thought.
I was too busy being involved in watching TV
to have noticed Khell sneaking up behind me with a pair of tweezers. He slowly
and carefully plucked at few from my back. Once he had enough he scrambled back
up stairs. Then Moon finally came home.
“Where’s Khell?” She asked carrying in her groceries.
Maylas and Schnauzzi were right behind her carrying bags.
“He’s been up in his room. Nothing has happened,
yet,” I replied turning off the TV and getting up. “Maylas and I have to get
going. We’ve been gone from the house for awhile now. We may have had some new
clients,” I told her.
When we got the money for turning in Balthazar,
Maylas and I decided to start a new business. We decided to became a detective
agency to help out other Neopians. We haven’t had any major cases but we had
some that at least put food on the table. I was able to redo the living room
into a half office, half living room.
“I have to get going too. I have to water my
garden before it gets dark,” Schnauzzi said. We said our good byes and left.
Khell sat up in his room adding the ingredients
to his concoction. The pot hissed and bubble as the mixture took form. Khell
put his paw to the page and read it.
“Hmm, once the ingredients are added and stirred,
refrigerate for half an hour,” Khell read to himself.
“How can I hide this in the fridge without Moon
noticing?” he asked. He shrugged and decided to try it anyway. Maybe Moon wouldn’t
looking in the fridge for half an hour.
Khell snuck down the stairs with the pot handle
in his mouth. He was almost to the kitchen. He would just have to pass the open
doorway to the living room where Moon was sitting watching TV. Khell quickly
took a peek and then tiptoed across. He made another check on Moon to see she
hadn’t seen him. Khell sighed in relief and went to the fridge. He sat the pot
down and opened the fridge. Moon had just bought some goods that were placed
in there. He took out a Neocola bottle and looked at it. Then he looked at the
pot. A minute later he suddenly had an idea. He opened the Neocola bottle and
dumped it out into the sink. Then he refilled it up with the growing potion.
“Now Moon won’t find out,” he whispered to himself.
He put the bottle back in the fridge and slammed the door shut.
“Khell? Is that you?” Moon called from the living
room.
