The Blue Bird Page #4

---

I know we've never been friends...

but now we've got to work together.

- We can't allow the children

to go through with this search.

- Why not? Why can't we?

Don't you see?

We're free now.

If they succeed, if they

do find the blue bird...

we'll have to go back to just what we

wereumb slaves to man.

That's the way I like it.

Man is the master. We must obey him.

Oh! I always knew you were a fool.

If they want to look for a blue bird

or a pink owl, I'm going to help them.

- The road to the past lies through here.

- But this is the graveyard.

That's the only way to the past.

- You must lead now.

- Aren't you coming?

Oh, no. Light has no business

in a graveyard.

But I'll be waiting for you.

- Suppose we don't find the way?

- Are you afraid to try?

- Of course I'm not afraid.

- Then you'll find the way, dear.

- Who's afraid of what?

- We're going through the graveyard.

Oh, is that so?

The-The graveyard!

One more thing.

And this is most important.

It is now nearly midnight.

- Oooh!

- You must be back within the hour.

Otherwise, you will remain

in the past... forever.

- Mytyl, I don't think we better go.

- Hush.

Well, follow me.

- This place is bad enough in the daytime.

- Fraidy cat!

Fraidy dog, please.

I'm scared, Mytyl.

There's nothing to be... afraid of.

I often come here...

just to browse around.

When you're not browsing

up dark alleys.

What's that?

- A g-g-ghost.

- Oh, Mytyl!

There's no such thing as a... ghost.

- There is too. I saw one once.

- Oh, no, Tylo!

I've met dozens of ghosts.

Most of them are perfectly charming.

- Tylo, where are you going?

- I just r-r-remembered

something I got to do.

Oh, no, you can't leave us now.

Well, then, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll go over the wall and around-

the graveyard...

and I'll- I'll see you-

- What is this I'm in?

- That's an open grave.

There goes our brave protector.

Shall we continue?

- Let's turn back, Mytyl.

- Don't you be a coward too.

Oh, it's only at midnight

you have to be careful.

- Why?

- What happens then?

Midnight is the witching hour.

The graves open.

- The dead arise.

- The dead!

Tylette, you're just

trying to scare us.

You're not afraid. Not very.

Well, I'm not.

- But I'd rather not see any graves open.

- Why not?

It's rather thrilling. Come.

While we're waiting, I'll show you

some of my favorite tombstones.

We've no time for that now.

We've got to go on to the past.

But this is the past, right here.

Oh, no, it can't be.

Light said to go through the graveyard.

But Light doesn't know. I do.

Tylette, don't go so fast.

Tylette, where are you?

- Here I am.

- Where?

Tylette! Tylette!

The clock!
