“Music” Villainous Drabble
The soft singing of Organ keys broke the still silence of the night. In the dark halls of Black Hat Manor, music filled the home. Dr. Flug was awoken by the distant musical sound and blinked when he realized it wasn’t a dream. He slipped on his paper bag and got up from his messy bed, kicking away the fallen sheets. He stood in his pajamas, carefully listening for the source of the music. It was soft and beautiful but at the same time, hauntingly attractive. It was eerie to hear it at one in the morning. He rubbed the back of his neck from the muffled sound of the music, as the walls of his bedroom kept him from listening to it clearly. He took a step outside into the dark hallway of the manor. The music penetrated his mind, making his body relax from the melody being played. He found himself following the music through the home. It was as if he was sleep-walking.
Flug entered the large corridor of the home and found 5.0.5, the adopted bear, standing in the middle of it. His ears were perked with interest by the music. He did not notice the young scientist behind him until he was tapped on the shoulder.
“Psst 5.0.5?” Flug whispered, unintentionally starling the bear. Flug winced from making his creation become frighten, even if it was for a moment. “Sorry, sorry but…you hear it too?” 5.0.5 nodded and showed him a small smile, closing his eyes before motioning to his face. Flug tilted his head when the bear blinked at him. “You were sleeping when you heard it too?”
5.0.5 nodded. Flug rubbed his chin from underneath his paper bag and muttered. “Why would Black Hat be awake at this hour?” His Boss is the only one in the home who knows how to play the organ and it was strange. Flug knows how much Black Hat enjoys his “beauty” rest. Flug motioned for the bear to follow and the two continued their search. They found themselves heading towards Black Hat’s private room, which made the two hesitated. The music was now louder, so much that it made the core of their body shake with each keystroke. In the distance, they could see Black Hat’s door ajar and a figure crouched in front of it, peering inside.
“D-Dementia?” Flug whispered loudly, only to get hushed by the lizard girl. Flug and 5.0.5 slowly and quietly made their way to her. The two crouched behind her and she pointed inside the room. Flug eyes narrowed when he noticed the hearts in Dementia’s eyes and the quiet giggling she was making.
When the trio looked inside, they saw Black Hat in front of his large personal organ. He did not notice them as he played. He had his back against them and was focused in his own haunting song.His fingers danced and his body swayed with the rhythm of the music.
The trio sat quietly, invested in the music. Flug closed his eyes, suddenly feeling tired. It was different from Black Hat’s usual playing, which consisted of violent and loud music. His organ could shake the entire neighborhood when he was in one of his “playful” mood. But, this time, he was playing calmly. It was hypnotizing.
Black Hat hummed along with the music. He decided to play his organ when he couldn’t sleep. He often does that when he could not rest easy. He blamed it on stress and music always seem to make him relax. He was playing a song written by Bach, it was one of his favorites. Back in that time, he forced the musician to teach him how to play the organ. Years ago, it would have lulled his mind but this time, it hardly made him sleepy. He stopped and sighed bitterly.
With a snap of his fingers, his suit and tie changed into black striped pajamas and his hat changed into a night cap. He would have to go down to the kitchen and get himself some tea. He thought something hot would make him finally go to sleep. When he opened the door, he froze. His brow arched when he saw Dementia, Dr. Flug and 5.0.5, sleeping together on the floor. He made a click in his throat and scowled at the group. It seemed they were peeping in his room. He would have to fix that. He grinned and rubbed his hands together mischievously.
By the time the trio woke up, they were floating on a rubber pool bed inside of a shark tank. Black Hat wished he had the video camera when he witnessed their reactions.
