Roblox Piggy Book 2: H.O.P.E

Epilogue

Lucinda

It was another day of writing for me.

"We landed at Doveport to discover Willow's tugboat already there. The tiger arrived before us. Pony and I searched ahead to find a way to the surface. It wasn't something we were looking forward to, to say the least (the explosions didn't sound very fun at all). Just when I thought the voices were over, they came back to haunt me. It seems they tormented Pony as well. It appeared as though he was losing his mind. The creature chasing us gave us headaches as we made our way to the facility."

"We eventually discovered a passageway to the surface. I went on ahead, Pony caught up later. It was there that I met Tigry, face to face. He tried to convince me that I should help him instead of Willow in finding the cure. After not giving him a proper response, he left. He's a silent type, but observant one. Our group made way to the surface to be met with (unsurprisingly) bombs. It was here that we met Robby and Kona. Robby was a mall security robot. I still feel so uneasy near it."

"The last time I met one of its kind, it wasn't so pleasant. However, it helped cover me from an explosion. I'll give it that. Kona is the engineer responsible for the creation of the mall robots. It seems that he wasn't fond of adding weapons to the robots, and I can't blame him. Mimi and Kona have known each other for years. It turns out they have attended the same school of Engineering. It gave us a lot of us great comfort to meet someone Mimi knew we could trust. He offered Mimi a radio so he could keep in touch with us, and sent us on our way with Robby to help us on our journey towards the cure."

"Robby and I went down into the lab. Kona dug into a temple when building his lab and kept it that way. I have no idea how nobody noticed the metal doors seeping into the rock wall. He must had some way of hiding them. It was riddled with active traps, he may be using them to fight against the infected. After getting the temple exit door opened up, our group returned to the surface, away from the explosions. it was there that something truly inexplicable occurred."

"The world around me went dark, and I began to hallucinate once more. I saw Bunny, Doggy and Zizzy. I knew it was a trick, I've been fooled before. Eventually, they vanished, and he appeared. I don't know what to call him. He's some sort of... extra-dimensional being? I know I sound crazy for saying that, but he's capable of much more than anything I've seen. He's the one responsible for the hallucinations, the whispers, and the voices. He also revealed to me that I'm immune to the infection."

"I'm not immune to pain though, so I still need to be careful around the infected. He offered to let me see my friends again if I joined him. As you can already expect, I declined. Why would I join someone who has been tormenting me for a long time now? He warned me to stop my journey and left. In the blink of an eye, I was back with the group. Pony informed me that he knows about that mysterious being. He tried to bribe Pony as well, but like me, he refused. It looks like the being doesn't want us to get to that cure... at all. Unfortunately for him, I will remain persistent and resistant."

"Cold. That's how I felt, both on the inside and out. The scorching weather outside coupled with Pony's sharp words created a perfect storm. I couldn't believe Pony would do such a thing. Everything I thought he was turned out to be wrong. At least, that's what I think. If he was told by Willow to do it, why did he go ahead and do it? Why did he give Doggy and me the potion? There's a lot to him I don't know. Georgie was right, though. If I kept my frustration for Pony's actions inside me, it would begin to burn and leave scars."

"It's not worth it. We need each other more than ever now. "We do things because we have to, not because we want to". His words continued to haunt me because they're real. As we made our way into the lab where the mythical cure was being developed, we ran into Tigry. He was focused on setting charges off to block our path, wanting to ensure Willow could not get to the cure before him. His gaze was fixed on her as we ran into him, and after an argument, they fought. That's when some of the charges went off. Isolated from the others, I was alone again. Alone with my thoughts... When I am most vulnerable."
