Pump had visited skid today but he was at school skid's mother told him to wait for skid pump took this as an opportunity to snoop around the house pump found an old teddy bear that looked rather scruffy he thought of going to skid's school to give it back to him since it looked like it had been lost for quite some time he made his way to the school but was stopped by the bullies
"Well, well, well look what we have here-"
Pump decided to ignore the bullies and make a run for it but the bullies grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yanked him back he suddenly felt his clothe's fabric tighten around his neck choking him leaving him on the floor gasping for air which gave the bullies took a hold of the teddy
"Oh I wonder what this is~"
"Give it back! It belongs to skid!"
The bullie looked like he was going to give the teddy back but then he ripped it apart
"Ops!"
Then after that the bullies simply left being satisfied with what they have done, pump got up he continued his walk to skid's school even though he is a little injured he also had the teddy with him immediately upon arriving he saw skid who immediately looked at him both upset and hurt.
"HOW DARE YOU RIP IT APART!" Skid exclaimed tears streaming down his face
"I'm sorry skid I didn't know how much that teddy meant to you..." Pump replied feeling guilty despite it not being his fault
"Why did you even rip it apart in the first place?" He furiously asked taking a step closer to pump
"It wasn't me it was the bullies!" He begged looking at skid with sorrow
"Stop lying! They weren't here when you got here!" Skid exclaimed balling up his fists and getting ready to swing at him
He punched pump hard in the face he remained stunned at how his best friend would just hit him like that 'why didn't he belive me...'
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU'RE EXCUSES JUST LEAVE" skid yelled at pump in fury
"Skid I'm sorry I can buy you a new one though"
"JUST LEAVE!"
Pump ran away crying, he hopped on a bus not entirely knowing where he was going, he fell asleep on the bus when he woke up and got out of the bus
"Where am I?" pump questioned
Looking around there is tall buildings covered in lush vines with moss and trees surrounding him there was some sort of pharmacy shop that looked like a church beside the bus station, he walked around getting lost in the masses of people passing by, finally reality hit him he was truly lost...
while still walking he bumped into a tall man with circle frame glasses and a lab coat on his face was half grey half silver."You better watch where you're going child" the stranger said their voice sounded hoarse
"Oh sorry! I got lost can you please take me home? I live at spooky street avenue"
'are you kidding me! This kid is asking me to take him home, this kids parents must be really irresponsible to both have their kid out here in a town where kidnappings are common and to have their kid know nothing about stranger danger!'
"Fine I'll drive you home it can't be too far right?"
The stranger reluctantly agreed he took out his phone he googled how far would it take to get to:
(spooky street avenue) the result was that it would take about 6 hours he couldn't drive that far considering that it was late at night"I'm so sorry I'll have to take you tomorrow it's 12:00 in the night and I don't want to fall asleep while driving" the stranger explained to pump
Pump followed him without thinking twice the stranger kept walking until he stopped at an old red car it looked like it was hit once by another car on the side of the headlight pump opened the door and got in the back seat he could barely see out the window he tried to pull himself up by using the grab handle of the car but the seat belt prevented him from reaching it pump looked at the rearview mirror only to find two silver eyes staring right back at him the city lights cast a shadow at both pump and skid at the moment there was a deadly silence until pump broke it
"So why are you in a lab coat?" pump asked
The stranger did not answer...
Pump had never encountered such a mysterious stranger he wasn't like all the other strangers he met...something about him unnerved pump he now resumed on trying to get a good view of the window the seat belt once again had stopped him this time he hit his head hard with the back of the seat he wanted to cry from the pain but he resisted weakly"Are you up to trouble eh?"
"N-no I'm not I just wanted to see out the window but I can't"
the tears were now visible from the corners of pump's eyes
"Did you hit you're head a little too hard? Oh my you look like you're going to cry, come on don't cry a big boy or girl doesn't cry" the stranger said in a very soothing tone as if he was trying to soothe him
"I'm not a girl I'm a boy and I'm 7 years old"
"So what's you're name? My name is Oswald Vhatska Invictissimi
and I am 20 ""My name is pump!"
"So how did you end up so far away from home?"
"I had a fight with my best friend... I just didn't think it through so I snuck in a bus and fell asleep until the bus driver kicked me out"
They spent an hour on this conversation of getting to know each other, the car stops at a red light
"I'm bored" pump whined
Oswald handed him his phone it is an old very old touch screen phone which was loading a game very slowly it was the game snake pump spent an hour playing the game until he fell asleep in the car Oswald finally arrived at the location it is a big building with lots of windows he checked the time on his car it said that it was now 3:20 Oswald got out of his car and opened the back seat door he tried to wake up pump but he did not wake up he picked pump up and carried him inside the building using a key to get in no one was around understandably Oswald kept walking until he found the elevator, the elevator scanned Oswald and pump
"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! LOCKDOWN STARTS NOW!" the elevator speaker yelled
"You got to be shiting me now the elevator is going to wake everyone up" Oswald whispered
Pump woke up he yawned before speaking
"What is that horrible sound and when did we get here?" Pump asked
soon some scientists opened the elevator door they all looked tired
"Oswald, why did you bring this child here?" Asked one of the scientists
"Because he got lost I can't just leave a child out in the streets plus he is very far away from his home"
"How far along is the drive to get him home?"
"It would take 24 hours to take him home"
"Very well then if he got this far away from home that means his parents are probably dead or the orphanage had abandoned him,
He will now become the new test subject wheater he likes it or not""What is a test subject?" Pump asked
No one answered Oswald pressed a button on the elevator the doors closed loudly which spooked the pump.
They wanted for while the elevator door opened Oswald picked up pump but he protested against being picked up pump decided to follow Oswald instead they walked through several rooms until they stopped at a room with a window on the door Oswald opened the door to the room and put pump in the room's bed"You are to stay there until you are to be experimented on" Oswald explained before closing the door.
What could happen next will pump escape the lab or will he stay to experience an change that will affect him for the rest of his life? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
