Along the ceiling were a few silver chandlers illuminating the hall with the low glow of there candles, around on the walls were paintings and other wall decorations, a few tables were scattered about the hall with some holding either a potted plant or a vase.   “Why do we have to use the bathroom on this floor?” asked Vegeta as he sped up to reach Bulma who was leading the group.   “Because the room we were in is on the same floor, duh!” she said plainly before turning around looking him in the eye,   “Besides Vegeta, that bathroom has a bigger mirror then the other two” Kakarrot said.   “Yah, but that one is painted pink!” Vegeta pointed out while Bulma gave him a dry look and rolled her eyes.   “Vegeta that has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard!” she said and grabbed his hand and dragged in down the hall to the bathroom, she swore that boy could be such a screwball sometimes despite him getting slightly better grades in school then she did.             &nb sp; After a few minutes they found the door of the third floor bathroom, the door was dark wood and polished to a vibrant shine as if in welcome to it victim that was standing in front of it along with his three friends and classmates.   “Okay remember Vegeta, say her name three times while looking in the mirror” Chi Chi said.   “The door has to be locked” Kakarrot said.   “And if she had a knife in her hand run or she’ll kill you” Bulma added.   Vegeta once again showed his tough guy look both in the way he held his body and the look of pure stone in his black eyes; saying nothing at all to the two human females or the younger Saiyan male looking at him, he simply walked over to the door of the bathroom, turned the shiny golden knob, opened the door showing the dark room inside with the large full body mirror gleaming from the light, Vegeta walked in and bluntly shut the door behind him.   “Bloody Mary isn’t real…right?” Chi Chi asked her voice returned to the small one she had had back in Vegeta’s room.   “Nah! Like I said it’s a story that even teenagers tell to challenge their friends, it’s a made up story” Bulma said, Kakarrot just listened for any noise coming from the bathroom, but the only thing that could be heard from inside was the flesh on tile sound of Vegeta’s bare feet on the bathroom floor.   IN THE BATHROOM       &nbs p;       <This has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever done, and will ever do in my damn life> He thought as he felt the chill of the cold tile floor on his bare feet, his eyes got use to the dark and he squinted when the lightning outside flashed through the window. Looking around he saw the room in shadow due to the light being off, the pink paint on the wall now looked gray and the shower and bathtub at the rear of the room looked very different then from seen in the light. The sink and toilet were near each other and the large full body mirror stood close by, Vegeta would never understand why they could have put the mirror up on the wall. Sighing and thinking he might as well get this over with he walk over to the mirror as another flash of lighting, followed by a crash of thunder made themselves known outside. He looked into the mirror seeing himself reflected back standing barefoot, in black pajamas, in a bathroom painted pink, taking on a dare that was related to an obviously untrue story, just so Bulma wouldn’t call him chicken. Vegeta began the ritual as Bulma told him.   “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody….”   Before he could finish a pain shot through the back of his skull and everything went black.   BACK OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM       &nbs p;       All the kids had their ears pressed to the door; they could hear Vegeta’s voice through the door chanting the spirits name. But suddenly Vegeta’s voice stopped in the middle of saying the name for the last time; all three kids looked at one another with surprised looks before Bulma knocked on the door, no answer.   “Vegeta?” Bulma called not getting an answer again from the eight year old within, she felt her temper flare and she grabbed the knob “Vegeta if your trying to scare us it won’t work!” she called and yanked at the door, of course finding it locked and to her bad luck it was locked from the inside.   “Here let me, Vegeta and me have picked many a lock” Kakarrot said pulling out a hair clip and digging it into the lock of the door and turning it around, a click was heard and Kakarrot smiled in pride as he turned the knob and opened the door.   But no one was inside the dark room             &nb sp; “Vegeta?” Chi Chi called into the dark room but no answer came, Bulma got further annoyed at the prince who must be hiding somewhere in the large bathroom.   “Vegeta if you’re hiding just to prove your point then your going to get one heck of a lump on your fat head when we find you!” Bulma threatened and pulled away the curtain of the shower finding nothing hidden behind it, the lights came on and a scream was heard. Kakarrot and Bulma turned to find Chi Chi pale as a sheet; she was standing in a pool of some red liquid. Chi Chi whimpered scared beyond reason as she stepped backwards, and fell on her back before shrieking again and backing up to Kakarrot and clinging to him in total fright.   “Bu…Bulma…please tell me that isn’t what…I think it is…” Chi Chi said close to tears.   “You guys…I don’t think Vegeta’s joking around, Vegeta came pull a prank but he knows his limits” Kakarrot said getting a little worried looking at the liquid on the floor that looked a lot like blood.             & nbsp; “Oh Kami, oh Kami! It was just a dare, a stupid dare that kids on sleepovers do! He can’t be…she could be…” Bulma rambled.              ;  “MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” &nb sp;             &nbs p; “AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” All three kids gave a shrill scream as the skin crawling laughter echoed from what seemed like all over the house, a loud crash of a flash of lighting and a loud crash of thunder had the already freaked out kids running out of the bathroom and tearing down the hall back to the room they had come from. Kakarrot got in first holding the door for Bulma and Chi Chi to get in before he slammed the door shut; Kakarrot looked at the two girls, Chi Chi was pale and he could see her dark eyes wet with un shed tears of fear, Bulma was on her knees gripping the carpet with tight fists and was trembling, not that he could say anything after what they had seen and since he himself was shaking.   “Bulma you don’t really think…” Chi Chi asked the blue haired girl who just sat there shaking her head.   “I don’t know Chi Chi, I have no clue this time” Bulma said.   “I don’t think we should worry, I mean…” before the Saiyan boy could even finish Bulma was right in his face with her blue eyes flashing with anger.             & nbsp; “SHOULDN’T WORRY!? GOKU MAY I REMINED YOU THAT, THAT WHOLE BLOODY MARY THING WAS NEVER PROVEN TRUE! WE SAW VEGETA GO IN THE BATHROOM! WE WENT IN WHEN HE DIDN’T ANSWER AND HE WASN’T THERE! AND THERE WAS BLOOD ON THE FLOOR! For all we know he could be…that thing could have…” Bulma’s voice faded at that and she just looked at the floor Kakarrot kept his mouth shut, the young seven year old knew quite well that Bulma had a crush on Vegeta as did Vegeta to her, that was the reason he and Yamcha got sent to the principles office early every week for fighting when one made a move on the girl. Kakarrot had to admit though that the evidence was pretty strong, Vegeta had gone into the bathroom, they had heard him chanting the name through the door before everything went quite, and had opened the door to find him gone and what looked like blood on the floor.             & nbsp; “Well if he isn’t in the bathroom, then some how he’s somewhere else in the palace” Kakarrot said as yet another clap of thunder sounded as Chi Chi spoke up.   “But didn’t Bulma say that Mary pulls you into the mirror? What if that is why he isn’t in there, she cut him up which left blood on the floor and then pulled in to the mirror” Chi Chi said as the sound of the rain outside getting heavier hit the glass of the window.   “But it’s the story that gives us a lead to that he might still be here in the castle” Kakarrot said.   “Goku is right; all those stories are merely either twisted versions of the real one or are not true at all. For all we know the story could actually go that she takes her victims to another area in the house” Bulma said.   “Then we have to go look for him!” Kakarrot said walking over to the door as Bulma spoke.   “But I heard another version that said that after being called she wanders the house” Kakarrot fell face down on the floor.   “It doesn’t matter! If we don’t find Vegeta that thing could do anything to him!” Kakarrot said and grabbed Bulma’s hand and ran out the door, Chi Chi stood looking at the floppy ears of her bunny slippers.   “I think I’ll wait here” she said.   CRASH!!!!!   “GOKU! BULMA WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!”   SOME TIME LATER            &nbs p;  Kakarrot tip toes along the floor as the girls followed behind him, they had decided to start right at the first floor and work their way back up to the third floor. As they walked down the dark corridor full paintings of former Saiyan kings and queens Chi Chi spoke,   “I think those eyes are following us” she said looking at the painting of a Saiyan king who bared a strong resemble to the present king and the prince, under the painting was a label that read: “King Vegeta the sixth hundredth and fourteenth, painting done by Kayuroa Elite Class Warrior”.   “Chi Chi that only happens in movies” Kakarrot said looking at a painting that had a picture of a boy that looked like it could be Vegeta in his teens and a pretty young girl who looked sadly over to the boy with his back to her, the painting was in many shades of blue and the look of the boys face looked distant almost eerily forlorn.   “He looks so sad” Chi Chi said in a whisper looking at the painting, underneath was not the name or the painter but a title: “Remembering in Name” was what was engraved on the gold label.             & nbsp; “That is a painting a Saiyan prince from the old days of Saiyan history” Kakarrot said looking at the painting and remembering the story Vegeta’s mother told him.   “Oh?” both girls said looking at Kakarrot who now had a look on his face that looked like it was looking into the past.   “Long ago a Saiyan king fell in love with a girl and married her, they had two sons. The oldest was Kakroya and the youngest by two years was Vegeta named after his father” Kakarrot began as the story played in his minds eye, “When Vegeta was fifteen he fell in love with a young girl who returned his feelings, however she had another boy names Yayual who was also trying to court her. Both boys fought for her hand until finally Vegeta won victory in the battle and won her hand for when he was old enough to marry, but it was never meant to be” Kakarrot said and both girls looked and the painting.   “Why” was all Chi Chi asked.   “One day the girl was in the forest gathering food when she was attacked by a powerful monster, it injured her and before it could take another swing at her Vegeta had sensed her in danger and tried to stop it. He killed it but lost his life doing so, he was buried in the court yard of the castle and his brother became king after the king died of an illness. The girl he had won the heart of died of a broken heart and was later laid to rest beside her would be husband, in the princes and girls honor they name every prince born Vegeta and every girl born after the girl he loved” Kakarrot said pointing to the title of the painting “That’s why its titled as it is, we name the royal children after them so that we may never forget” Kakarrot said.   “What was the girl’s name?” Bulma asked and Kakarrot scratched his head.   “Her name? Vegeta’s mother said the girls name was Bra” he said.   CRASH   “What was that?” Bulma said turning her flash light on as did the others,   “Mwahahaha!!!”   The laugh began again making the hair on their necks stand on end; a chill began to sneak its way through the hall.   “Oh Kami, oh Kami” Chi Chi whispered as the sound of dragging chains could be heard and the laughing getting louder, Kakarrot go into a fighting stance and Bulma held her flash light like a sword.   “MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!” &nbs p; The laughing got louder and louder as if coming closer,   “VEGETA, VEGETA! I HAVE THE YOUNG PRINCE” a voice whispered in a ghoulish hiss. Kakarrot gritted his teeth and screamed out.    “WHERE IS OUR FRIEND MARY?! WE KNOW YOU HAVE HIM YOU SAID IT YOURSELF!!!” he yelled feeling no fear towards what ever he was about to face, the laugh cackled before an amused woman’s voice again called out from the darkness.   “Vegeta is taking a little nap right now” the voice spoke and Kakarrot felt his blood boil.   “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!” Kakarrot screamed running down the hall he thought she was calling from.   “GOKU!” both girls screamed as they ran after the young boy as he raced down the hall before sliding and falling to the floor, his flash light when flying and broke on the floor.   “GOKU ARE YOY CRAZY!? SHE COULD HAVE HURT YOU!” Chi Chi said helping him to his feet, Bulma had her eyes pinned to the floor, Chi Chi went to pick up the broken flash light “This thing is useless now, the bulb shattered and the reflective part is broken in half” she said handing it to Kakarrot and turned to Bulma. “Bulma what are you looking at” Chi Chi asked, Bulma looked her way with a scared look on her face and looked back to the floor and pointed her flash light at it, both Chi Chi and Kakarrot looked at the spot with wide eyes.   On the floor was a pool of blood, torn bloody cloth that looked to be from a dress, and a piece of black cloth that looked to be a piece of Vegeta’s black PJ’s.   Lighting flashed and thunder crashed as the laughing again was heard through out the house “FIND HIM BEFORE I FIND YOU!!! OR BEFORE MORING YOU WILL ALL COME INTO THE MIRROR WITH ME!!!!!!!” the voice screamed as the light went from the window faded.   The kids just looked at one another.   Now what?   8888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888   I bet know one saw THAT coming!   Urban Legend and Superstition Information:   Walking under Ladders:   Do you know why they say walking under ladders is bad luck? Well in old times they didn’t hang people in the gallows, nope they used LADDERS! They say its bad luck to walk under a ladder since they believe that area of the ladder is full of evil spirits and bad luck.   Throwing salt over your shoulder:   Long ago they use to believe that salt held magic powers, because of that they believed that if you had the bad luck to spill it you would throw a pinch of salt over your right shoulder to remove the bad luck.   Horse Shoes:   It is said that if you ever found a horse shoe with the open side facing you, you should take it home and nail it over your door with the open side facing up so as not to spill the good luck out.   Haunted House Urban Legend:   They say that there is a haunted house that appears all over the world, they say people who go into it never finish their tour. The admission fee is said to be twenty five dollars and for each level of the house completed you earn five dollars. They say that anyone who reaches the top with every level cleared wins a huge cash prize, which as never happened. Some people just run out scared; others are either found to scare to move or scared to where their hair turned white. Some people are said to have never come out after reaching the fourth or fifth floor of the house. Some also say that anyone who went missing in the house became a ghostly member of the ghosts haunting the house. This house is said to have appeared in Texas, Ohio and Michigan.
