What Happened? [COMPLETE]

Chapter 24: Squirrel Costume

I walked around the forest, looking out for traps since I did not want to get caught by one. As I walked around I couldn't ignore the fact that I was alone. It reminded me of when I thought everyone was dead.. I felt so alone and unsafe. I remembered that I felt as if it was all my fault. As if the reason all of them where dead was becuase I couldn't save them in time.. It was all my fault. I snapped out of my memories becuase I never want to relive them... I would be getting back home after I find Alex. I let out a sigh and right as I did I heard the sound of eating. It sounded like someone was eating bones since the sound was crunchy and loud. I followed the noise and to my surprise it was Mr. Squirrel.. The creepy guy in that squirrel costume that works at the lab. He always creeped me out becuase of his wide, open eyes and resting smiling face. I never liked him and always tried to avoid him, no matter the cost. He just didn't sit well with me. I looked at him and started to walk slowly to him, just to see if he was actually making the noise but as I got closer to him I started to notice that something was missing from the guys suit.. His head. Mr. Squirrel would always wear his full squirrel costume. No matter what time of the day it way or the situation, he would always wear it. What was so special about it was his head. Those eyes, dead smile, and buck teeth like a squirrel.. I wouldn't have a problem with his costume but his eyes and smile made me scared of him. I will never forget it since it was just horrifying to see. I never liked it and just wished he would keep it off so I could talk to him without being scared. I walked a bit closer, just to see what he looks like. Before I could walk even closer it step on a leaf that makes a loud crunch noise. With that noise alone Mr. Squirrel stood up quickly and turned around, covering his face with his hands. I look at him and instead of being scared I wanted to talk. I would usually run away because of his costume but I guess without his head he looked better. Maybe it was becuase he didn't have a dead stare at me. Before I could ask him anything he backed up and kicked a twig at me, hitting me in the eye. I wanted to scream because of how much it hurt but I just couldn't let it out. He then kicked another a rock at my legs, making me fall to the ground. As soon as I did he ran to me and before I could do anything he covered my face with a pillow.. As I struggled to get the pillow off me I started to feel tired. I felt my limbs become sleepy and soon all I could remember is closing my eyes, soon falling asleep.... 

Mr. Squirrel's View:  

As she stopped moving I removed the pillow from her face. I saw Red Cheerleader, lying there completely asleep. I pressed her stomach and chest just to make sure that she was still alive. I wasn't planning to kill her, that wasn't my motive at all. I wanted her to fall asleep so she wouldn't see my face but the main reason was becuase... She was in the dangerous forest. There where traps and lots of birds that will be up to kill her. I was just going to take her to Rhythm Heaven which is the safest town becuase most people evacuated. MOST of them did. Maybe not all but hey, this was the best that it could get. Especially now-a-days. I looked around and picked her up. As I did, I felt her move a bit. I started to get a bit worried that she would wake up but then I remembered that it would take a few hours for her to wake up becuase of the chemicals I put in the pillow. I walked away from the spot we where in and started to head to my town. As I walked back I started to worry about people seeing me without my squirrel head on.. I always kept it on not matter what. I didn't care. I held Red Cheerleader tightly, just to make sure that she wasn't going to fall while she was asleep and being carried by me. I looked up ahead and in no time I got out of the forest, stilling holding the girl. I continued walking becuase I needed to go to my lab in a few hours or else she will wake up and try to kill me... I would not want to be killed.. Who would?
