Narrator

The next day, you got dressed for school as you sat in the living room eating breakfast. The show on the TV was quite boring so you switched it to the CBB News.

"Today, a news report of the Poppy Playtime Co Factory owner has currently had a stroke yesterday morning before 10:00am. All the employees are devastated as there is a low chance that Evelyn Carter will recover from this horrible news. Next we have a.."

You heard the news lady speak as you ran upstairs towards your mum's bedroom. "Mum! How can you not tell me about-"

"Oh my god- your nan was right it was on the news- shit! Sorry- uh.. how about we miss school today?"

You hesitated before your mum sat down on her bed as you cuddled up to her. "Mum I don't want miss Evelyn to go..!"

"I know honey. Come here." your mum wrapped her arms around you, as she told you to take your school uniform off and wait for her down stairs.

After you got changed into your own clothes, you went down stairs to see your mum with a tissue in her hand dabbing her eyes slightly. You cuddled next to her as she put her arm around you.

"Mum.. what's going to happen to the factory if miss Evelyn isn't there?"

"Me.. she wanted me to always be the second one in line to control the factory. Of course I will need a lot of help though."

You replied cheerfully, "I'll help you!"

"Thank you sweetheart," your mum quickly kissed your head before embracing you in
a tight squeeze.

"Also.. I'm not mad at you for skipping school- well.. Troy could be a very bad influence on you, but you're a child and believe me when I say it's worse in secondary."

"That's just what Troy said and-" just as you was about to tell your mum about where you bunked, Nanny Delaney came through the front door and into the living room.

"Here, my love- Oh! Hello my child! Why aren't you at school?" Nanny Delaney asked.

"It's not a good day.. is that for mum?" you asked as you noticed the full pot of ice cream in nan's hand.

"Oh yes! You can have some too if you'd like," she passed the ice cream tub with a spoon towards mum.

Suddenly, mum's phone started to beep, "Sorry, let me take this," mum answered the phone. "Oh.. Troy's not going to school either? Oh I know he would be sad as well. Yes of course they can! Oh I'm not sure about the factory- yes yes! Bye!"

Nanny Delaney and you looked up at mum when she softly smiled at you, "Troy's not going to school.. do you want another play date? Maybe in the factory?-"

Nanny Delaney replied, "Rowan. That's not a good idea right now. It's dangerous!"

You looked sadly up at Nanny D before she just sighed and agreed. Apparently, the factory would be completely empty with just you and Troy roaming around.

Reader's POV

A hour passed with me and Troy being 'alone' in the factory. We walked in hallways, toy rooms and even the only Train Station and Toy Making Room.

While walking in the hallway towards the Centre, I noticed a Huggy Wuggy doll laying in front of me.

"Uh.. don't touch it i guess?" Troy said.

"Troy! Huggy isn't dangero-"

Suddenly, a feminine laughter was heard from above me and Troy. We hugged, but nothing happened.

As we entered the Centre, Huggy wasn't there. We carried on walking until we reached the Red Room, which was Evelyn's office. A sadness filled up inside of me.

"I'm going to miss her so much," Troy sulked.

"Me too.. should we check for anything?"

"I guess, but I doubt anything would appear since our parents did leave us alone here. I'm sure they wouldn't put us at risk of danger on purpose, right?" Troy questioned.

I nodded as we entered the room. Troy pointed out a letter on Miss Evelyn's desk. It was signed by the Head of Innovation?

"What does this mean?" I asked Troy.

"I'm really not sure? Is that a cassette tape?" I pointed out a cassette tape on a table next to the desk.

"Let's not- we've done enough. What's 1170?"

"I don't know.."

Hours passed, you and Troy finally decided to explore the vents. Nothing was really switched on, so you decided to climb inside the vents.

When you got outside with Troy, you two noticed you was really high up over the Centre, where Huggy would stand.

"This makes me dizzy and scared.. should we go back?" you asked.

"Ye- No! Look over there!" Troy pointed at a huge, red and painted poppy on the wall. "Should we go there?"

You nodded. You saw some graffitied words near the door, but you heard a yell before you could read and check it out.

"Y/N?! Troy?! It's time to go!"

Shoot! It was Troy's parents. You and Troy quickly escaped and landed at the end of the toy making conveyor belt thing.

You hopped off along with Troy and ran towards his parents.

"You're out of breath Y/N, Troy. Now c'mon we have to drop Y/N off," Mrs Ezekiel said.

"No! I don't want to go!" Troy whined.

"You've been here for 8 hours!"

"What?! 8 Hours?! It hasn't felt that long?" you and Troy both replied.

"You've been here ever since 9am- and it's almost four so let's go please!"
