Little Blue Riding Hood (Horrorberry)

Curiosity Kills

"oh, c'mon blue! you look great in it!" Carrot pulled out his phone for a picture. What was is, do you ask? Well it was a baby blue hoodie, matching my brother's orange one. I didn't particularly like it. It made me feel uncomfortable, and it simply wasn't my style. I felt safer in my armor. But it was his birthday, and I wasn't going to say no. I loved Papy to much to tell him no on his birthday. So I was stuck in the hoodie for the day. I made peace signs, sticking my tongue out for the picture. "heh heh heh.. thanks bro. just one day in it, that's all i'm asking." I crowded my arms and puffed out my cheeks. "ON MY BIRTHDAY YOU'RE WEARING WHAT I WEAR ALL DAY." Paybacks a bitch. Carrot cringed. "ok, ok.. fair enough.." He agreed. He wasn't looking forward to wearing uncomfortable armor.

I've pretty much been letting Papy get away with what I'd usually yell at him for. Spoiled little brothers I tell you. He was milking it while he could too. "i'll be a muffet's if you need me bro." I watched him leave, pulling out a cigarette as he did so. "...OK BROTHER.." Did he know that I worried? Why does he do this to me? I sighed heavily. "HE'S DEALING WITH ENOUGH, BLUE. LET HIM HAVE THIS ONE DAY WITHOUT YOUR PESTERING.." I reminded myself. Well, a walk would do me wonders. After I could start on lunch.. he will probably be gone for the rest of the day and through most of the night. That's what he often did on his birthday. Passed out and drunk. I left the house, just as Papy left from the back and to Muffet's. What was back there? I was curious. Papy didn't like me to go back there and it was his birthday, but it's not like he was here. It wouldn't hurt to peek. I looked around, just as a precaution then went around. It was a door. A locked door. I pulled my bandana out of the stupid hoodie pocket. Lucky for me, I went through a spy phase as a child and my trusty bandana always had my picklocking tools. Don't ask. Soon I had the door open and my bandanna around my neck. I walked down the steps, flicking the lights on as I did. This was the start of the adventure of my lifetime.

❣❣❣

I explored my brother's little lab. "I HAD NO CLUE THIS WAS HERE.." I probably shouldn't be digging through his things. It wasn't nice, but I was drowning in my own curiosity. There was blueprints written in wingdings, a photo album of myself with scientists.. I didn't know he remembered this. I didn't know he kept the photos. I thought they were still in the old Royal Scientist's personal lab. There was also a picture of us and all our friends with Chara. What all did he remember? The resets too? I noticed the paper in the back. It was a poorly drawn picture that Papy made as a toddler. Don't forget was written on it. "BROTHER.. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME?" I was going to ask that tomorrow after he sobered up. There was just one more thing I wanted to check out before I left. The tarp in the back. I pulled it off to reveal a machine. "WHAT IS THIS..?" I was rusted and broken looking. "LET'S SEE WHAT I CAN DO."

❣❣❣

It was amazing what one could do, crossing a few wires and replacing a few components. I turned a few dials and knobs. "THAT SHOULD RESET IT.." Whatever it was supposed to do. I should try it out. "I SHOULDN'T! IT COULD BE DANGEROUS!" I argued with myself. ... but I WAS curious. "THIS IS STUPID, I'LL JUST SEE IF IT'S IN WORKING ORDER AGAIN, THAT'S ALL." That should satisfy my curiosity enough. I was already pushing it, being down here and poking around. I pulled a lever and pressed a button, listening as it sputtered to life. It wasn't doing so well. With a clunk it started to hum then I was swallowed in darkness. No sound. No sight. I shivered at the sudden gust of wind. Wind? I slowly came to. I smelled decaying leaves, flowers, moss, rain, trees, blood- blood! My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly, feeling dizzy. To fast. When my vision cleared, I wasn't in the lab anymore, nor was I alone. In this forest, I was facing off against a large, skeletal wolf with a large, red pupil. Putruding from it's skull and right eye, was a blue spear. It was bleeding from the hole. What the fuck do I do in a situation like this?!
