CatNap: The Smiling Cat

Chapter 13: A Truce

CatNap sat in the centre of Playcare, curled up by the statue of the Smiling Critters.

CatNap was the last of the Smiling Critters, they were killed after being seen as 'DogDay's followers'.

DogDay was still alive, he was being tortured in The Dungeon of the Playhouse.

CatNap's thoughts were interrupted by a figure walking towards him.

It was one of the Miss Delight bots, she was in terrible repair, but still functioning.

CatNap was confused, as he blocked the entrance to the school, which was where the bots resided, in an attempt to keep whatever was in there trapped.

"You're alive?" CatNap called out to her, "How are you alive?"

"CatNap..." Miss Delight turned to him, "Where are the kids? Please, where are the children? Are they... in the same place as the employees?"

"No." CatNap replied calmly.

"Are the children safe?"

"...Yes."

Miss Delight sighed with relief, "Can I see them?"

"No."

"Why not?"

CatNap didn't know if the children were still alive, The Prototype took the surviving children down to the labs.

"WHY?" Asked Miss Delight, getting impatient.

What CatNap did know was that she would've killed them all anyway.

Anyone would've, everyone was hungry. The bodies of the employees were all taken down to the bottom level of the factory, and the experiments often went down there when they needed food.

"How are you alive?" Asked CatNap again, "There's nothing to eat in the school."

"My 'sisters' cut me off from all the remaining food," Miss Delight said with a hungry and aggressive tone, "They thought I was dead. Then I killed 'em... I had to eat them to stay alive. It's still not enough though, I'm running out... Please, you've got to help me, I'll do whatever you want."

"I could see us having a form of truce," CatNap bribes, "You could be of use to me. The more followers The Prototype has, the better."

"Of course," Said Miss Delight, "I'll relay everything I see to you. You can talk to... him."

"Very well," CatNap agreed, "We took all the bodies to the bottom floor of the factory, it's easily accessible using the nearby elevator. There's still much food left down there."

"Thank you," Said Miss Delight sincerely, "Thank you, CatNap."

"And stick to our agreements," CatNap reminds her, "Break them and you'll end up like the other heretics."
