just don't look behind you.

chapter 5: a common ground

Sorry for the late chapter again, I couldn't think of a chapter name and was sat thinking of what was gonna happen during this one.

So sorry if it's a little short, I'll make it up in a chapter or two time.

I think after this chapter there will be 3 more? There will be no cliffhangers or anything, but if y'all want a second book after that would be chill.

' huggy I don't think- huggy no. Huggy get down '

If someone said you'd be scolding (again) an alive doll when you where twenty one, you would of asked what drugs they where taking.

But here you where, asking huggy to stop trying to climb back up to the vent, he'd pointed at Izzy to role the little table over that was originally holding the VHS player. She did of course and he'd clambered up ontop of it; it wobled under his weight and just barely reached the edge of the vent with his hands.

You'd maybe spent a good 30 minutes trying to get him to come down and rethink but he was very set on this working.

Juno had tried to open the door to the poppy, which was open, but huggy let out a growl that was more threating then usual. You and Izzy called her away from it but she still stuck her tongue out at huggy.

She was now just sitting down on the path furthest from everyone, cuddled into herself - resting.

Izzy was doing the same but closer to you two.

Huggy let out a angry huff and stepped down, using the wall and you as support. You gently petted his head and thanked him for trying; he seemed happy that his 'hard work' was noticed.

He was now just lying on the floor moving his legs and looking around, you knelt down beside him and stroked the side of his face, he purred in response and snuggled into your hand.

Izzy scooched quietly over, huggy watched her as she did but didn't seem threatened by her presence. They seemed to get along okay so far.

' any ideas y/n? '

' I could ask you the same '

You just shrugged at each other, both now looking up at the vent.

' his hands just reached the edge right? And we know he can hold human weight, so why don't we climb him? Or make him lift us up? '

Izzy had broken the minutes silence with a pretty solid plan.

' what do you think blue? Think you could do that? '

He moved his head up from the floor and looked to the vent, and then back to you two. He hummed and stood up, it was a risky idea; you would have to climb and then be lifted up all while he stood on a rickety rolling table.

Was it worth it? Well you don't know unless you try right?

You'd go first while Izzy went over to wake Juno.

He gently helped you up, you felt your stomach sink when you looked down. If he fell or dropped you, you would both fall into the void.

He shakily lifted you up towards the vent; with your feet resting on his hands, you used the wall as a support.

You made it in the vent. You breathed a sigh of relief and popped your head out of the vent giving a thumbs up to the 3 below. You agreed Juno would be next, just incase huggy decided he didn't want to help her up after half way.

You told her to support herself against the wall, and her face soon appeared with her hands reaching for you. You saw her drop a little but you grabbed her hands.

' huggy don't be like that, I still need you to help Izzy up '

You heard a little laugh as you helped Juno climb into the vent, he purposely stopped helping.

Next it was Izzy, she made her way up similar to you. And the two of you helped her up.

Now how to get huggy up. It was cramped in the vent and not a lot of moving space but he was vital to helping yous get back to the make a friend room.

He gently tapped his hands against the metal and murmured softly.

Izzy looked up at the rollers that you all fell down during the chase, and Juno held out a knife... Where did she get a knife from and how long did she have it for?

You catched on to what they where implying, you could stab the knife into the weak metal or in-between the rollers and crawl back up with it and drop it back down to the next person.

Huggy impatiently tapped his hands, making sure it was loud.

You gently moved to the edge, his face looking happily back at you. You grabbed one of his hands, Izzy the other and Juno holding the clothing on your backs.

The trio tried to pull him up with all their might but he was just to heavy.

You tried and tried but it wasn't going to work.

Your group sat back letting go of his hands. you told him to stay put and that you would be back, moving your attention back to the rollers.

Your trio tried to rerember the way back to the room, but with the panic you all forgot or well, weren't paying attention in the first place.

You heard small shuffling from outside the vent before loud bangs and up jumped huggy, he leaned back almost falling out the vent but you and Izzy grabbed and pulled him back in.

He purred and gently knocked heads with you both, a thank you if you where guessing.

' well only one way up now '

Juno went first, thanks to her suspicious knife that really appreared from no where; she didn't have big enough pockets for it, did it randomly teleport into her hand? It wasn't even a pocket or switch blade either.

You should have learned to not question Juno long ago.

She slowly climb up, the blade helping a lot. She reached the top and sent the knife back down landing quickly Infront of Izzy's feet. Izzy copied Juno but went up sideways as she couldn't lodge the knife far enough into the metal, yknow just incase the knife slipped and she didn't want to fall back down.

It was you next, you made your way up slowly, but you copied Izzy's technique. It worked better for you, along with huggy giving you a gentle push.

You clambered your way up top handing the knife back to Juno, who slipped it into her boot. That's where she was hiding it.

You all moved backward as huggy sprinted up the rollers, his limbs once again closing in on themselves making it so he could move without slipping back down.

And once again, hopefully for the last time, you ventured to find your way back out the vents.

Okay it's late and I feel bad for not updating sooner, I promise I'll do better tommorow but for now youve gotta deal with this.

Also I'm loving your comments, I may not reply to them all cause I'm an awkward human being but I am reading them :D

And the next chapter should be better, I know I keep saying this but u don't know till I write it.

When I finish writing this one I might either make a oneshot or a human huggy one but idk what's your thoughts?
