Fragments - A Cookie Run Fanfiction

Chapter Four: Informative

Hours later, most of the kingdom where near Herb's house- they all sought the help of Almond Cookie, and Sparkling cookie, as they had a good range of medical experience. Sparkling helped with removing the purple-pink projectile that was stuck in GingerBrave's leg- but the confusing thing was that as soon as the object was removed- it just- vanished.

There was nothing else to it, the object disappearing into thin air, as if it wasn't there at all to begin with.

"Do you have any idea where that strange object came from?" Sparkling whispered over to the green haired cookie, who, in turn, just shook his own head with a sigh. The blonde nodded, before grunting and looking down to the basic cookie child under them.

He could look into it later. Right now, he needed to make sure to help Brave as much as possible.

Even more hours passed by- and the Brave Cookie had seemed to not be responsive in the least. He was clearly alive- but he hardly seemed to process cognative responses. Being talked to, lightly touched on the arm, having his name called- nothing was waking him up.

Currently, it was Avocado cookie watching over him. The plus sized cookie was pacing around his room, pretty quietly, as to not disturb him at the moment. Much like all of the others, she was troubled. Confused and worried in regards to what happened to her much smaller pal- none of the cookies within the kingdom had actually encountered a problem that serious in a while... it had been months since the last concerning injury.

Turning to the window, the green haired female looked out, and watched as the other cookies went about their business. Doing what was common to them. Herb was tending to his plants nearby, talking with Sparkling, and Vampire. All three of them were tense.

Tiger Lily had not shown up yet, and no one had seen Adventure Cookie in a while- who, at this point- were going to be the best bet in regards to asking questions about strange objects found out in the forest.

The large cookies thoughts continued spinning, but she was brought out of her contemplative trance by the sound of shifting movements, and a small groan.

Turning around, she saw The Brave Cookie slowly sitting up as he rubbed at his head, looking down at his lap as he seemed to be lost for a few seconds. He stared and his eyes landed on his wrapped, slightly crumbled leg. He brought his hand to the wound, before feeling it gently get dragged back away from the damaged limb.

"Kiddo, it's best if you don't put pressure on it. You were already hurt enough." Avocado gently let go of GingerBrave's arm- the child looking up to her in confusion. Other than the small bit of confusion his eyes, held, any other emotions were unable to be placed. It was... unnatural. Avocado felt herself shiver as she shook her head, and looked off to the side. Maybe she was overthinking it...

Just a couple seconds passed, and GingerBrave seemed to snap back to reality. He looks back tot the larger cookie, before pausing, and thinking for a moment.

"What's... going on?"

Avocado cookie just sighs, before going and sitting in a chair next to the child cookie. "You were hurt pretty bad. You are healing up well... Herb, and Sparkling had to work together to get you to start healing up- because Herb couldn't do it on his own..." she crossed her arms, beforetilting the bag on her waist. "Do you know what happened? Don't stress yourself to remember anything if you can't remember it at the moment... alright?"

The brave cookie seemed stumped for a few more seconds before closing his eyes, and trying to remember what had happened. He struggled, but- it didn't take him long to gain his bearings, and the memories flooded back.

He brought his hand up to his head, before sighing, and nodding up to the green haired cookie. "I do remember. Mostly... I went out to look around the forest... and after I was there for a while- I ran into a clearing with periwinkle and yellow flowers... the place was very pretty. There was a Pedastal or somethig there."

Avocado nodded, leaning in closer to the child as she made sure not to put too much of her weight on his resting place. "Alright... what about what happened after that, kiddo?" she adjusted her goggles again, and took out a small stenograph. Fully intent on writing down what the boy had mentioned to her.

"Well, I saw the pedestal, but I avoided it... I wanted to touch it, but I heard from Tiger Lily that touching strange objects was better to be avoided. So I left it alone, and continued on until I turned around, and started to walk back to the kingdom...." GingerBrave brought his hands up to his head, closing his heas as he felt his head starting to throb in objection to the movement and the light of the room he was in. "When I got back to the same area the second time... something felt off."

The older cookie nodded as the younger continued to describe his story. Writing down the more important details, she asked smaller questions here and there, and took note that, at least a couple times, the child had started to grow intensely confused out of no where- nearly forgetting what they were talking about.

The next ten or so minutes were full of stress and contemplation. As well as worry- and perhaps some small tinges of doubt.

"That's all I can rememner... the last thing that happened was... I... uh... I remember making it to the end of the clearing- and I felt something stab me through my leg... it went through the post of a sign nearby without a problem. Then- I crawled a little way- and passed out..?" he tried to recall.

Closing her eyes, the teddy bear of a cookie nodded, and placed her hand on GingerBrave's shoulder.

"That's good for now. I will go and let the others know... do you want me to talk to Her or Sparkling about getting something for you to eat?" she questioned to him- making the child shake his head. "Are you sure?"

GingerBrave nodded in response before leaning back, growing tired again. He stared at the ceiling for several seconds before letting sleep consume him again. He closed his eyes, and his head slumped over to the right- before a light snoring emitted from him.

The visiting friend was still filled with concern, and now armed with what little bit of info that her pal had given her. She nodded to herself, before opening the door, and leaving the room, closing the door again behind her.

She still felt as if something was not mentioned- but she didn't have it in her to pressure the kid at the moment. He was just too tired and drained. She made sure to tuck the stenograph into her pocket safely, and made her way down the hall of the residence she was in- before exiting. She closed the doors of the premisis behind herself, and trudged over to where Herb, Sparkling and Vamper cookie were all talking, and sharing possible scenarios with each other.

"Ah, Avocado, did you get any information out of him?"

"Yeah, I did." she started, before pulling the stenograph out again. There was really no use putting it in her pocket the first time, but it was too late to ponder on that. "i wrote down most of what he told me... but..."

"But what...?" Herb asked from where he stood behind one of his plants, watering them.

"Something still feels off. I don't know what it is, but he had a very hard time with concentration... I can't tell if it was any pain relieving substances, or if it was because of just waking up. I also am having a hard time understanding some of the things he explained..."

"Well, let's try to figure it out with Almond. He was asking about Brave earlier. He said he was going to meet us at my place, so we could talk about it. He is probably there now." Sparkling offered to the other three, who nodded in agreement.

Before long, they were all following Sparkling to where he needed them to go.
