just don't look behind you.

chapter 8: we'll meet again

Uhhh sad chapter maybe?

Also what's your opinions on the last two chapters?

I think there pretty good, also reading back through (attempting too atleast) I notice I don't really add detail of surroundings or a area. I think my brain just assumes everyone knows what the factory looks like and what I'm on about.

Also tramatic chapter ahead? I guess injury too. It's a short chapter but even I'm like damn wtf.

The group of 4 had managed to open the gate that lead to the welcome room. The one that huggy destroyed by tearing the scanner out the wall.

It had opened and in the nick of time you had slid a box underneath it just as huggy and Juno lost their grip.

It had crashed down on the box with such a force that the metal was physically dented; while you had to crouch down to get through it was better then it being closed.

Your group sat near the doors, waiting for a break in the storm. Looking through the gap in the window you could see the gray rain clouds moving away. There wasn't much wind so you assumed it would be another hour or so before the trio could leave and head off back home.

As huggy calmly rested against your arm you realized you wouldn't be able to bring the creature home. He would get covered in dirt on the treck back and wouldn't fit in a taxi - you don't even know how you would explain that to the driver. Just 'oh yeah this is huggy he looks like a toy but he's actually alive and breathing!'.

The treck back was maybe three hours long, without taking notice of the mud and now mushy snow. Plus you didn't have room to host him either; it was already cramped enough with just the three of you living there - minus the animals.

And you bet that the thing wouldn't take kindly to living in a almost fallen down barn filled with hungry stray cats and whatever clingy blood bugs that took residence in the walls and hay.

Huggy lightly tapped his head against yours, not long after meeting him you realized that was his way of showing affection. He laid down infornt of you basking in the warm sunlight as it finally started peaking from behind the clouds.

The rain turned to a light drizzle and the sun broke through the clouds fully.

This was now your time to get moving; to run the three hours home and hope the rain wouldn't catch back up to you.

Your group nodded at each other. Blue looked up looking confused as Izzy and Juno hopped through the window.

' we'll meet again some other day blue'

You said as you looked at him through the window, he stared confusedly as he attempted to get through the gap to follow but failing.

He made a panicked wail sound as you shook your head at him. You explained to him that he couldn't follow or come with you, that it was dangerous if anyone saw him.

He shook his head as his chest raised and fell in a panic.

He didn't want to be left alone again.

He couldn't be left alone again.

Why couldn't he just fit through the gap?

Why would you leave him?

Had he done something wrong? Had he done something bad and scared you away like he did with the workers?

The glass pricked at his arms as he tried to follow, to get through.

He watched as his friends turned to but dots in the distance.

He let out a loud wail hoping you'd come running back for him. That it was some sick joke.

As panic consumed him more he started tearing at the boards and glass. He started smashing the glass with his hands and ripping the boards to shreds.

He couldn't be left alone again.

He wouldn't be left alone again.

And that leaves 1 more chapter to write. It'll be extra long as too get everything said and done.

Trust me when I say this. But it's a happy ending, I couldn't do anything harmful to huggy.
