Taking Over | inanimate insanity x y/n

2 - Disappear

Paintbrush

     I looked out from under the couch to see the huge, giant flesh creature looking down at me in shock. Honestly, that huge, enormous, humongous thing is probably just as confused as I am. Have I mentioned how big the thing is?

     It grabs the phone and I take a step back to make sure it doesn't try to grab me. I'm not dumb enough to put myself in danger involving a gigantic creature I've never seen before and could probably kill me easily if it wanted to.

     We look at eachother in ashtonishment for a few seconds until a loud voice calls out, "y/n did you find it?" The creature looks to the side, seemingly at something else and gets up, walking away. "Uh- yeah I found it. You can leave now. To your meeting, I mean." The creature said. "Okay great. I'm taking y/s with me to drop her off at soccer practice so you'll be alone. I'll be back in a few hours. Don't do anything stupid!"

     I could hear a door close in the distance. Then footsteps getting closer. The creature is probably comming back again! Crap what do I do? What if it tries to observe me or eat me or crush me or whatever the heck these creatures do to objec-

     My internal dialogue stops abruptly as the creature speaks.

     "Um.. are you still there?" It looks under the couch again and sees me.. pressing against the wall like a coward.

I'll admit, I'm terrified. This thing is, like, a million times bigger than me and I have no idea where I am, so I can't use my surroundings to my advantage. Plus, who knows this thing's intentions? What if it tries to capture me? Torture me? Kill me? I don't even know if I'll be able to be revived! What if I die here, permanently, alone?

"Uh, I don't exactly know what you are or if you're even there-.. this might all be a hallucination! Is this real?...." The creature continues to mumble to itself as I try to evaluate my situation. I eventually decided that if I stay under the couch forever, I'll be trapped here forever, so I'll try to befriend the creature. Plus, it lowers the percentage of it harming me
and maybe it could help me get back home!

     "I-I'm pretty sure this is real.. uh.. I'm Paintbrush. I have no idea where I am!" I said awkwardly and nervously as I stepped out from under the couch with much hesitation. The creature stared at me like I had 3 heads.

"A talking object...well what do ya know.." They said as if it were so otherworldy. "W-well what's your name?" I asked. "Oh! I'm y/n" they said. Wait they're not named flesh monster? Weird. Confusion painted (a/n: get it?) my face. Suddenly y/n laughed. Then I realized I said that stuff out loud.

     Shoot. I didn't mean to say that out loud. Do you think they'll hurt me for that?

     "Clearly we have different ideas of normal. On another note, why were you under the couch? Also, are you just a living paintbrush? How does that work?" They said, and kind of stupidly, like, of course I'm a paintbrush, thats how I was born.

     "I was under the couch so I was protected from danger. Now I know you're not a threat to me. But I'm not so sure about the other y/n's..." I said, trailing off.

     "Other....you mean my mom and sister? They have their own names. And.. what danger?"

     "I was transported here by Pod knows what, I...don't anything about this place. Uh- can you help me? .. I guess.." I replied desperatley. I hated how vulnerable I sounded. "Of course I'll help you! Plus, this is an opportunity to make a new friend!..I don't have many."They smiled warmly and sheepishly as they talked. "Anyways, I think I'll be here for a while, mind showing me how things work around here?" I asked. "Of course!" They said.
