Chapter 4: Chapter 4

The new room was ten times larger than the last one had been. It was like an entire ball. There was a chandelier, tables full of food, tall windows, and crowds of people in fancy clothing. I felt out of place in my sweatshirt and jeans. I didn't mind much though. I walked right through and went searching for the man named Ander. The name was Ander, right? I shrugged it off. I passed the tables of food. I stopped once I had passed and then went backwards. I stared at the food greedly. I took one of those small sandwiches and stuffed my face. The looks I got were hilarious.

 I grabbed another as I headed towards the crowd of people. I found a table and stood on it, 

"Is there an Ander here?!" I called out.

A sudden memory flashed as I remembered that the name was Andy, not Ander, "I mean is there anyone named Andy here?!"

The room was silent by now and a tall man walked forward.

"Keith, is it?"

"Yes sir." I jumped off the table. 

The man looked me up and down and I did the same to him. 

He had blonde hair that was so blonde that it was almost white, light blue eyes, pale skin and a dark blue tuxedo. Man. My outfit really makes me out of place here, doesn't it? I stook out my hand for a handshake but the man just looked at it in disgust. I sighed and pulled my hand back to my side.

"You're Andy?" I asked.

The man nodded.

"Then yes, I am Keith."

"Well I was told you weren't from around here but I didn't know you were a . . . " Andy paused, "A peasant."

"Peasant? Did you just-"

"Now what do you need me to do?"

"W-wait what?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"I thought you knew what you needed to do."

"You're supposed to tell me." Andy rolled his eyes.

"Oh um . . . " I tried to remember what he was supposed to tell me, "The girl just said that you were supposed to "tell me everything". Whatever that means."

"Everything?" Andy laughed, "I'll just tell you the . . . Main part."

"The main part? What about the side parts? Don't those-"

"Sh!" Andy put one finger to my lips.

I pushed his hand away and sighed, "Okay, then tell me the "main parts"." I used my hands to put quotations around 'main parts'. 

"Alright. So I can't actually tell you everything not even all the "main parts" so I'm-"

"Oh this is just great." I muttered sarcastically under my breath.

Andy only side glanced towards me, "So I'm just going to have to tell you what to do next."

"Is this some sort of puzzle?"

"Not exactly no."

"Exactly? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Now your gonna have to leave this room and go into the hallway again. Once in there find something that talks. Once you find what talks you have to make it tell you where to go. Once you get to the place that it tells you then your on your own."

"On my own? But what if-"

"No buts. Now leave. Your disturbing my party." Andy turned and walked to a group of people then started talking like nothing had happened.

I watched him for a few seconds before walking away. I grabbed more food and walked out of the room. I shoved the food into my sweater pockets. I slammed the door behind me. 

The hallway was the exact same as it was when I had left it. Nothing important was there and I thought about turning around to ask Andy about it again. I turned and the door was gone.

"Wait what?!" I yelled out and placed my hand on the wall. 

I began banging my fist against the wall angrily.

"Let me back in there! I need to still talk to Andy!" 

I sighed as nothing happened and I pulled away from the wall. What was I supposed to do now?

 I leaned against the wall and slid down until I was sitting with my head in my hands. Why? Why me?

I took a deep breath in and then stood. Okay. I got this. I began walking but it was only about a minute before the stinging pain of someone hitting my head came. I spun around but no one was there. Another hit to the head. I turned around and no one was there. Then the last one came harder than the other combined. I fell to the floor and blacked out. 

When I woke up I was in a room. It was dark. I sat up and a bright light flashed on. I squinted and nearly groaned. Objects and animals were everywhere. Dogs, cats, pigs, boxes, bags, tables, frogs, water bottles and more. A loud voice came, 

'Find the thing that can speak.'

I stood frozen for a few seconds before looking around the room, "Nothing here speaks though!" I yelled.

There was no reply. I began walking around the place and looking at the things. Then like a weirdo person I began talking to them,

 "Hey, how's your day?"

"Can you talk?"

"What's your name?"

"Hey, I'm Keith."

None of them answered. I walked around and approached a dog,

 "Hello, what's your name?" I asked. 

The dog just stared at me and wagged his tail. I sighed and went to a small frog who was sitting on a pillar. I stared at it straight in the eye and it stared at me. 

"Hi." 

I stumbled back and fell down. The frog had just spoken! I scrambled up to my feet and looked back at the frog.

"I'm Timmy the talking frog. I heard you trying to talk to that box. You're strange Keith."

"How do you know my name?"

"I heard you when you said, 'Hey, I'm Keith.'. You weren't very quiet."

I stood silently and stared at the frog.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked.

"Well aren't you supposed to tell me where to go?!"

"No."

"Uh, yes! You're the talking thing!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"I'm not supposed to tell you anything! I'm not the talking thing!"

"But you're talking right-!" 

'Wrong answer. Try again.'

"Wrong answer?! There's more than one answer?!" I yelled out.

'Yes.'

I groaned. Then a sudden thought came to me. I looked up towards the speaker, "Tell me where to go."

It was silent for a few seconds, 

'As you wish,'

I nearly screamed in joy.

'You must go to the land of the eliminators.'

Wait . . . What?!
