Roblox Piggy: The Novel

Chapter 9

When I opened my eyes, Bunny was by my side. I sat up. There was a large bump on the back of my head.
"Ah!" I said, when a sharp pain zipped through my skin.
"Careful." Bunny said, concerned. She helped me up.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Well you fell and blacked out. I managed to get into an empty room and waited out the crowd. Then I came back for you. We really need to get out though."
"I've started making a habit of blacking out.."
"I called Mr.P. He's waiting for us with a helicopter on the roof."
"No."
"Purple-'
"He's going to infect us too!"
"Please. I trust him. You should too."
"I'll give him a chance..." Bunny smiled.
The sound of metal being scraped sounded behind us. We turned around. A long, sharp knife came through the doorway. At the end was a bear with red eyes.
"Run." Bunny said. We raced out the door, Bunny taking the lead. She headed for a door with the label outside on it. We went in and she locked it. Concrete stairs led up to the helicopter landing on the roof. We went up, just as the bear started slamming into the door.
We made it to the top and bunny closed the door. It was night. The wind blew against our faces. The rush of cool air put me at peace. But there was no helicopter waiting for us.

"Where is he?"
"I don't know..." Bunny said nervously.
"They-they left without us..."
"We need to find another way out."
"I guess you're right." I said. I was furious. I agreed to give him a chance and he left without us. Showing just how selfish he was.
I turned around, ready to go back in and find away around the doctor, but Bunny seemed frozen. "Bunny? Are you coming?"
"Yeah." She said quietly.
"Maybe we should wait for the bear to get up here. Then we can trap it up here."
"Mhm."
We didn't have long to wait. The bear came up, knife at its side. We were waiting behind the helicopter. He neared us and we quickly ran for the entrance, shutting the door behind us.
"There's a metro not far from here. I'm sure we can get there."
But I wasn't listening. A tear slipped down my cheek.
Bunny turned around. "Purple! What's wrong?"
"That-" my voice cracked and I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. "That doctor was a family friend. I didn't place it until just now. He saved me the day my parents died.." Bunny hugged me. I let myself cry into her shoulder. These past few days had been so full of loss and I couldn't take anymore.
"Purple... I'm so sorry. We really need to get out though." I nodded. We left the hospital and I shivered in the cold night air. Bunny put her arm around me. We walked down into the metro. No one was there. Some of the lights had been smashed and a train was on the tracks.
" Doesn't look like we'll be catching a train..." She said.
"We can get it working." I said.
"I don't know Purple. Can we just... Relax a little?"
"I guess." We sat down again pillars, the concrete floors, cold to the touch. "I can't believe he would do that..." I said.
"Purple.. he was scared."
"Of what?!"
"Of you!" I stayed quiet for awhile.
"Why..?" I finally asked.
"We didn't know what you were and he was scared you were becoming infected."
"Well I'm not!"
"We didn't know that. You showed the same signs that the Piggy family did."
"But he still left you Bunny."
"Because I refused to give up on you. Even though you hurt me. You had saved me even though you didn't even know me. I owe you for that. And... As I listen to your hallucinations, I learned you had lost a friend to this. I couldn't just leave you behind."
"Bunny..."
"Mr.P has just become so desperate for a cure. He's started going crazy. Even though doctors say there is not hope, he still won't give up. No matter who he infects along the way."
"That's such a selfish way to think..."
"People take drastic measures when the people they love are in trouble." Bunny was right. I thought about how I had felt when Doggy was in trouble. All I was thinking of was how lost I was. I wanted to kill Mr.P...
My fingers went to my necklace. "That's pretty." Bunny said softly
"Thanks. It was a gift. From Doggy..."
"You kept mumbling about him when you were sick. But who was he?"
" He was my partner in the police force. We considered each other family. But, he got infected a couple days ago."
"I'm sorry..."
"It's ok."
"Why a butterfly?"
" We used to go to the park all the time. Every time a butterfly went by, he noticed my fascination and he got me this."
"What's your fascination?"
"They can't talk like us. They're just little insects in this world that float around with their beautiful, delicate wings. It's like they're magic"
"They are pretty arent they? Imagine being an insect. You wouldn't have to worry about anything... Have you always been human?"
"It's a long story... But no."
"What did you used to be."
" I used to be a-"
But I was cut off by a weird sound. "Bunny... Get your crossbow." I whispered anxiously.
"I really don't feel good. You take it." She handed me the crossbow.
"Will you be ok?"
"I'm not sure."
"We need to get this train working."
Suddenly, a pig that wasn't part of the piggy family kicked the door down. I aimed the crossbow at it but it lodged in the door behind it. I loaded another arrow in. The pig was getting really close. I shot again, this time lodging it in the pig's shoulder. It squeled in agony and fell to the floor.
"Tell me when it gets up." Bunny nodded. I went into the train and looked at the giant array of buttons. There was a lever in the center. I pushed it and the train rumbled to life. "Bunny! The train is working!" I poked my head out the door. The pig had started getting up. I aimed the crossbow and sent an arrow into it's stomach. It collapsed and fell to the floor, blood pooling around it. "I hate having to do that..." I muttered. "Bunny we need to get out of here before it gets up again." I went in the train. After a bit, I realized Bunny was still sitting on the floor, looking down. "Bunny..? A-are you alright?"
"I can't go with you Purple."
"Why? Just tell me what's wrong!" Bunny looked up at me tears in her eyes.
"I'm turning into an infected."
