Picture Day (Inanimate Insanity AU)

Silence

(Sorry for accidentally posting this earlier, I had to remove it because it wasn't finished and i accidentally published it. But it's finished now!)

Fan's POV:

Day 10.

It's been 10 days since we first arrived here. Everyone has had a procedure or experiment done on them so far. I think that Pickle's was the least horrible.

OJ seems out of it now and he mostly sits in the corner of his box and mumbles incoherent things to himself. Ive also noticed that his juice seems to be tinted kind of pinkish red... wonder what that's about.

Soap, surprisingly, has gotten over her fear of everything being dirty due to the fact that she's been sleeping on the floor every night. She had the pump on her head broken off and it looks like it might become infected.

I was locked in a room for five hours with that loud buzzing sound going the entire time. I cant stand loud noises now.

Apple and Pickle both had the same thing done to them, they both had some kind of surgery done on their brain, except Apple died at one point during the procedure.

Balloon, Knife, and YinYang just had some kind of punishment. Balloon had his arm cut off, YinYang was stabbed multiple times, and I'm guessing Knife almost drowned somehow.

Cobs has been delaying Mic's punishment. I think he's trying to scare her and make her anxious for it.

And Lightbulb. Im concerned for her. She hasn't spoken a word since Paintbrush died a couple days ago. She just stares at the floor, sometimes starts crying at random times, but doesn't speak. There were multiple occasions where Balloon tried to start a conversation with her to cheer her up, but she didn't even crack a smile.

I hope she's ok...

I glance over at Balloon. He's better now. He was sick for a while but he got over it. He still has a bit of a cough, but he seems a lot better.

"Hey Balloon." I mumble quietly. Everything was silent, so I mumbled the sentence so I didnt break the silence. Balloon turned to look at me.

"Hey Fan, you good?" Balloon responds.

"Yeah I'm alright, heard anything from Lightbulb?" I asked. Balloon shook his head sadly and I sighed.

I looked at Lightbulb, who was just sitting there staring at the floor.

She used to be so happy all the time, even in the worst situations, and even when she was upset it wouldn't be super bad. I missed the happy Lightbulb I once knew.

And to make it worse, she wont eat anything. Cobs has been giving us food and water, and even though I dont trust the food very much, I eat it anyway because it's better than nothing. I've got nothing to lose anyway. But Lightbulb doesn't even attempt to eat anything. It worries me.

Then I heard that familiar buzzing noise that was used to wake us up. Everyone had gotten up early today. I involuntarily screamed and covered my ears. It was a little embarrassing to be so scared of loud noises, but I was pretty traumatized.

Cobs walked into the room. I wasn't really scared of him anymore because I was so used to seeing him, but I still hated him.

I can't believe I used to look up to him. I admired him. But now I feel nothing but hatred for that man.

Cobs hasn't tried to punish Lightbulb at all after she stood up to him a couple days ago. He's probably just using Paintbrush's death as her punishment.

There's still a small blood stain where Paintbrush was killed. I could still see the horrified look on their face when Cobs first came up behind them.
