ISLA LUCIDITY (BFDI au fanfiction)

(CHAPTER 7): blood-stained flowerbeds

"Agh..come on..shit, where the hell am I?"

Deep within the wet, rainy jungle, nearby the broken fences of the fires enclosure, Petra was running around panickingly trying to find where the spare emergency helicopters were at, she thought she knew where they were, but the fact she was now wandering through a muddy forest with no map and only a random freezer bag filled with beer and some stolen object DNA proved otherwise.

Petra looked at her surroundings slowly while also trying to find any sort of path that could lead her to her only chance of escape, but suddenly, she bumped into an ominous little sign.

It was a classic black and yellow "CAUTION" sigh near one of the fence gates, except the only thing different about it was the small sillouette of a flower on the front of it along with some text below it saying "VENOMOUS".

".. Really? "venomous flowers"? is that what they are implying here? man, whoever made this sign must have been on a different kind of flower! hehehe..heh.." Petra chuckled a bit at her little joke there, obviously still terrified and trying to say something atleast slightly funny to calm her brain down, if she wasn't terrified for her life she would have thought that joke was dumb.

"Ugh.. alright, no more messing around here! I need to focus on finding those helicopters, I have to! and once I reach the mainland again and give these out, I'll basically be drowning in gold and riches-"

{Chiirrrpp...}

A sudden little squeaky "Chirp" sound snapped Petra out of her greedy fantasies.

"Wh-what the?!-" Petra turned around in panic as she began to breath heavily in fear, her eyes were bolting all over the place as she tried to catch atleast a glimpse of whatever the hell made that noise, her panic intensified even more when she heard the bushes nearby beginning to shake.

she began to breath heavily in fear as she looked around before suddenly yelling.

"HEY! WHATEVER YOU ARE! SHOW YOURSELF RIGHT NOW! IM NOT SCARED OF YOU!" Petra yelled in pure terror, suddenly the bushes stopped shaking after her loud screaming, she breathed a sigh of relief until she heard another chirp and looked over next to her.

Right next to her hiding in a small bush, was a small creature with a pink flower for a head and a pitch black, stickman body, the pink petals around its head were folded down near its neck and it's eyes were oddly closed, as if it was about to fall asleep on the spot.

"Oh..oh your actually not as bad as I thought you are.." Petra mumbled as she could still feel a tiny bit of fear in her throat while both her and the flower stared at eachother, one in curiosity, the other in terror.

"Well, uh- sorry but I uh- I gotta go! heh.." Petra decided to quickly walk away from the flower before it started getting angry, she started wandering around trying to find the way to where the helicopters would be, yet she didn't realize the flower was silently following her nearby, she only realised it was there when she saw it peeking it's little yellow head from behind a large tree.

"AH! oh, you little-" Petra yelped out a bit after seeing the flower appear again, grabbing onto the freezer bag so it wouldn't slide off her arm in the process.

"L-listen, I don't know what on earth your deal is, ar-are you hungry or something? is there something you want from me? because I don't have anything on me that you would want! just-just leave mE ALONE!" Petra yelled at the flower while keeping a tight grip on the freezer bag as she pulled it off her arm and swung to her left side, the flower simply moved away from the sudden movement before-

{SMACK!}

Petra swung the freezer bag at the flowers head in a desperate attempt to get it away, the sudden hit made the flower hiss loudly in pain as it's head started throbbing in the area that Petra hit it with the bag, as soon as the flower finished shaking it's head, it ran away into the bushes.

"Agh..jesus..thank God it's gone now- AH!-"

Something suddenly pounced at Petra from behind, causing her to tumble down onto the wet muddy floor, during her fall she had accidentally let go of the freezer bag, causing it to tumble far away from Petra as it fell into a small nearby lake and was slowly moved away.

Petra quickly climbed back onto her knees with a bunch of mud now stuck on her body from the fall, she tried to catch her breath as she looked around before seeing something staring at her, it was the flower, the same one she hit with the bag.

..It was staring at her, but..why?

Petra decided to speak a little in order to break the awkward silence.

"dang.. I didn't realize it earlier but..now that I'm seeing you up close..your hideous"

.....

{hhHHHIIIISSSSsss...}

Petra's blood went cold as she witnessed the flowers petals fully unfurl in front of her almost like some lovecraftian alien creature giving out one last warning before attacking, it's loud hissing revealed all of the tiny, needle-like teeth in its mouth that looked more like tiny shards of glass then fangs, yet despite the pure paralyzing horror Petra was feeling from what the flower was doing already, the worse was yet to come.

Suddenly, a splatter of slimy yellow liquid was fired from inside of the flowers mouth and landed on Petra's chest, it had the consistency of glue- and the stickyness of it as Petra touched it with her left hand and saw the liquid get stuck onto her palm.

The flower still kept hissing loudly at her while Petra tried to get back onto her feet, but before she could fully get up, the flower shot out another blob of yellow gunk directly into Petra's face.

"AAAAAAAHH! AAAGGGGHHHH! OH MY GOD!" Petra screamed her lungs out as she tried to wipe off the yellow slime off of her face before she started running away in whatever direction her panicked legs went, behind the slime her eyes were beginning to tear up a bit in fear as she ran off near a large rock that she decided to lay near, she still kept weeping slightly as her tears mixed with the yellow slime a bit, but still, she felt a tiny bit of hope in her heart, mainly hope about her survival, she must have ran a long while due to her achey legs, so she must have gotten far away from that flower, right?

..Right?

...

.....

{hhHHHIIIISSSss...}

"No..no..please god no.." Petra mumbled.

She slowly looked over.

The flower was back.

Petra let out one last scream before the flower started to maul her to death, and the last sounds she would make were both loud begs for mercy, screaming, and her crying for her mother.

As soon as the flower bit deep into her neck, she was gone, and was completely silenced.
