Dead Seeker (Book 1: Pandamonium ) (⚧️)

chapter 21

(Uzi continues her trek through the woods with Y/N flowing behind her until she reaches an abandoned building. She uses her powers to open the lock (Which almost crushes a bug)[a certain roche] and ventures inside. She picks up a Worker hat and then tosses it to the side as she examines her surroundings: Books and bottles clutter the floor, two Worker uniforms are hanging up, furniture islying on their sides, and a wall has been blasted open. A calendar on the wall catches her eye and she moves it over towards her. It shows a dog on the top half, and the bottom half shows the month of Seramorris. An important note reads, "EVACUATE ALL DOGS! Just in case something bad happens, idk." Two additional notes underneath read, "Cool, we did that. That's canon." and "ALSO, ALL DOGS ARE IMMORTAL NOW! THANKS TO SCIENCE!" Uzi sighs in relief. Suddenly, a noise grabs her and Y/N's attention. Uzi looks around and gets spooked when she spots what appears to be a human hand reaching from around a corner. Y/N puls Thire baster out Uzi tries to steady her flashlight when she hears a scream coming from outside. She heads to the window to find... The other campers rowing their canoes on the lake.)

Y/N: ....

*with the campers V and N*

Rebecca: (To N) So, my friend wants to know if you'd kill her family. And if you're single.

Darren: (As he and Thad carry a canoe with V and Lizzy in it.) Make way for the canoe train!

V: Sabotage, minions! Plan X! (The boys kick N's canoe and head off while laughing, only to slip and drop the canoe, Lizzy falling out, and V flying in the air. Emily falls out of N's canoe.)

Rebecca: I CAN'T SWIM! (She almost falls out, but N catches her.) Oh! Hehe... Thank you.

N: Close one.

*Back with Y/N and Uzi*

Back at the abandoned building, Uzi watche this when the glass window suddenly shatters, caused by her right eye reaching high temperatures. She tries to reach inside her backpack (Which contains a rotten robotic hand) as she has a brief flashback to her time at Doll's house.)

V: Tick tock... (She giggles as she makes her presence known.)

Y/N: ?

Uzi: H-Hey, s-stupid... idiot... Uh, weren't you just-

V: You said this camp would help us catch that red-eyed Doll freak and I wanted to spend time with my partner but there stuck babysitting you because they care for you somehow. How about more "explore-y", less "watch from window creepy".

Uzi: (Swipes her hand away) Working on it. Just... (Sarcastically) so glad you guys fit right in. Super cool. (V raises her tail behind Uzi.)

V: Better to stay distant, though. Don't think? (She looks over at Uzi's backpack.) Since I'll have to kill you next? (She scratches Uzi's eye and prepares to leave.) N's made friends with rocks, by the way. He'll move on just fine and Y/N I hope whatever you helping her do is worth it.

Y/N: Ya well have fun with the campers

V: ill try

(She makes her exit as Uzi's eye repairs itself. She sighs as she goes over to get her backpack, only to see it crushed a bug.)

Uzi: Sorry, buddy. Gotcha good. (She is about to use her powers to repair the bug back to good health but Y/N does it before her. The little insect wanders away and turns back to Uzi, who salutes it as it heads under the floorboards. Uzi uses her powers to lift the wood up, revealing a rotting, deceased Worker Drone. She lifts up a few papers: Two drawings, and a JCJenson Program Admission Notice. She flips over the last one to reveal a part of a Murder Drone's claw pierced through the side that was otherwise supposed to be intentionally left blank. She pulls the claw piece out as another bug climbs onto her hand. She squishes it, but it narrowly dodges and climbs her other hand.)

Y/N: Aww Look Uzi you have a bug friend

Uzi: Y/N: shut up

*Well this is happening The solver watches from a window cill*

Insect: >:( (It scans her and Y/N.) WELCOME BACK [002] and [015]. HOW CAN I HELP YOU two TODAY?

(Back with the campers. N fires multiple arrows at a target's center until it catches fire.)

N: Ah, sorry! Did I... cheat? (He looks back at the others. No answer, but another camper gets shot at and falls over. V jumps down.)

V: Tch. You didn't even kill everyone here. Check this out. (She gets ready to fire an arrow at... The campers, who nervously clap.)
