Pure Love {Pure Vanilla Cookie x Reader}

Chapter 5 - Rose's little secret and a new friend!

Hey guys! I decided to make this chapter focused on Rose a bit, hope you enjoy!

=======================================================

"Rose.. is that.. you?!" - I almost yelled, in disbelief that my little silly cat was now an intimidating, giant creature.

Even though I was a little scared of the secret my pet had, something told me to not be afraid of her. She is still the same cat that adores me, just looking different. Way.. different.

"[Insert name cookie] Cookie, don't you remember the words on the box when you took Rose?" - Asked Herb, clapping his hands, very happy that Rose saved us.

He was right. When I found Rose, I was like 5 years old. She was a newborn cat, I found her during winter in a box under a bush. There was also a paper in the box, laying next to Rose.

"The more you bond with this cat, the more it will feel the need to protect you."

As a young child, I didn't understand the meaning of it, but.. now I do.

Rose was more than a cat. She was a guardian of a person that would take care of her. And that person was me. At the same time I was terryfied of the fact that I lived with this creature for over 10 years, yet I still felt a warm feeling inside of me. It was pride - pride of having my own protector by my side.

One smack with Rose's paw knocked the monster down. After it was lying on the ground, lifeless, Rose shook her fur, turning into the chubby cat she really was.

"Rose!" - I yelled, regaining my strenght, I got to my feet and ran to Rose, who purred and pressed her head against my nose.

"She is absolutely amazing!" - said Chilli Pepper Cookie.

Yes, Rose was indeed amazing. But it was also time to go to the Vanilla Kingdom.

While we walked our way we've beaten some Cake Hounds, Sugar Scorpions and lions, we made our way to the glorious kingdom.

"It's way bigger than I expected!" - Said Custart III Cookie, as his eyes shined, looking at the kingdom he belonged to.

"Let's go!" - I rushed my friends and we quickly got in front of the impressive gate, ready to come in, but someone stopped us. It was a scary looking cookie, with black hair and a crow flying next to her.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" - She said dryly, like she just met one of her biggest enemies.

"Hello, I'm Gingerbrave, and that's my team. We need to get into the kingdom because we need to check if Pure Vanilla Cookie is here." - replied the first cookie I've ever met in the Cookie Kingdom.

"Why is it so important?" - she answered, clearly wanting to get rid of us as soon as possible.

"You see, Pure Vanilla Cookie was my friend. I'm the [insert cookie name] Cookie, one of the Ancient Heroes." - I said, as I pushed my way to the cookie.

After I explained the whole tragedy that has happened, the cookie looked more and more convinced that we were telling the truth.

"Well, alright, I'm Raisin Cookie. You're allowed to come in." - She said, bowing her head in my direction.

"I should be treated like this too!" - Said Custard III Cookie, visibly jealous of the respect I was getting from most of the cookies I met.

"Pfft." - Mumbled Chilli Pepper Cookie.

When we were exploring the Vanilla Kingdom we came across a cookie in a torn coat with patches, blonde, dirty hair, and a stick with a bandage. We also couldn't see his eyes because he had them bandaged.

"Hello, how may I help you?" - he said.

He had a weirdly familiar soothing voice. I felt like I knew him for years, yet I just met him.

"Yes, but first off, who are you?" - Said Gingerbrave.

"Ah, I'm the Healer Cookie. Pleased to meet you." - He said with a.. familiar smile.

Everything about him was so familiar.

"What are you doing here?" - asked Custard III.

"Ah, I'm just lost, you know." - He squatted down to Custard's size, patting his head.

"How is it possible that you see in the bandages?" - I asked.

He turned his head in my direction, opening his mouth a bit, but not saying a single word. He stood like that for a couple of seconds before he answered.

"I.. don't really know how to explain it, they are probably some kind of.. magical" - He answered softly.

"Well, if you're lost you can stay with us, Healer Cookie!" - Said Gingerbrave.

"Ah! It's a pleasure to stay with you, dear cookies. I would love to!" - he smiled even more.

"Well, that's great, but we have got a long way to go, so we need to set up a camp." I said.

"It's all right."

"By the way, have you seen Pure Vanilla Cookie by any chance?" - I added.

"W-who?" he muttered.

"Oh.. you don't know who he is. He is a cookie with multi-colored blue-yellow eyes, usually wearing a white, long robe and an ice cream cone hat. He usually has a yellow-flower staff with an eye in his hand, and long, blonde hair.. similiar to yours."

"O-oh, I unfortunately haven't seen him. I'm deeply sorry." - He whispered.

I looked at my shoes, disappointed and mad that he just left me like that. Not even an explanation.

"Well, then let's go." - I said.

********************************************

When we found a perfect spot to set our camp on, I lended Healer Cookie our spare tent, then we put out the tents and ate some bear jellies, we were getting ready to go to sleep.

"[insert cookie name] Cookie, wait!" - Healer Cookie called after me.

"what is it?" - I replied.

"I.. I'm sorry we haven't found your friend." - He looked down.

"It isn't your fault. You did nothing wrong."

"Okay.. I'll be going to sleep. goodnight!" - He hugged me.

The hug was incredibly familiar to the ones Vanilla gave me.

"Good.. goodnight." - I mumbled.
