Aftershocks

💫chapter 3💫

(Ollie's pov)

I practically tackled Catnap in excitement. "You do?! Who! You have to tell me!" I cried. He knocked me back with his tail and stood up.

"Oliver, get a hold of yourself." He snapped.

"Right, sorry Catnap." I replied, calming myself down. He rolled his eyes and pointed a claw at the ground. "Sit." He said, simply. I complied and sat down. "Before you start begging me to tell you who it is, I'll tell you." He said, sitting down himself. I leaned in closer. "Alright I don't know if she would be willing to help us...after what happened, but the only person I can think of who could help is Poppy...."

I leaned back, and buried my head in my hands. That was his great plan? Having the creepy doll help would be alright with me, but Poppy Playtime absolutely hated me and Catnap both after what happened.

After all, both Catnap and I had helped Olivia and the prototype to kill off the Rebellion. The creepy, little doll had started a rebellion against the prototype and Catnap, Olivia, and I willingly killed off everyone except the little doll and Kissy Missy. I remembered the look of hatred in her eyes as she escaped with Kissy through the vents. Her last words to me still haunted me.

"I'll kill you all for this. The prototype will fall and so will you."

Then she disappeared. She vanished into the vents like a little vent demon. I hadn't seen her nor Kissy Missy since that fateful day.

"Hello? Earth to Ollie. Oliver, can you hear me?" I snapped back into the present. "Yes, sorry Catnap. I was just thinking about erm- stuff." He followed my gaze to the vents. "Ollie, she's our only hope to save Olivia, if she's even alive. I don't mean this in a bad way, but Olivia may not have survived a fall like that." He replied, kind of dejectedly.

I knew very well that Olivia might not have survived. I knew that it was a 90% chance or worse that she had died, but I still had that weird feeling that she was still alive. The connection was still there. I hadn't felt a break in the connection at all. In fact...it seemed to be getting stronger....

"Ollie! Look out!" I turned just in time to see Catnap disappearing into a deep pit.

(CN/C!Catnap's pov)

I grasped along the walls for a foothold or something I could grab onto using my claws to no avail. I was falling so fast that I didn't know whether I was falling up or down, if I was screaming or not. I became aware of my voice becoming hoarse, so I was pretty certain that I had been screaming.

A voice called down something to me. I couldn't really understand anything besides the fact that I was falling, falling fast. I closed my eyes and pictured me spatting on the ground below, if there was a ground below...

"Get it together Catnap." I told myself. I twisted myself in a way that I was no longer falling head first. "K, that part's done. Now to find something to hold onto." I thought to myself. A quick look around told me that there were protruding rocks, and pieces of metal. "This is all a part of the factory still?" I asked aloud. Of course I got no answer but the question didn't go away.

Soon I saw something below me. "There is a ground!" I cried happily. "WAIT a minute! THERE IS A GROUND?!" I was going to be splatted! I reached out with my tail and grabbed a piece of metal that was protruding from the wall. It sliced into my tail but I had no choice. I took a deep breath and swung myself onto the ledge. "OWWW!" I let out a howl of pain as the metal sliced into my tail. I landed with an oomph but I survived.

I stood up on the ledge that had just saved my life. "I hate you already for this Oliva." I hissed and jumped off the ledge into the darkness.

(Kissy Missy's pov)

I stumbled over some rocks, trying to find Poppy. She had just up and disappeared. "Poppy, where are you?" I whispered to myself. I was a more quiet toy than the others. Compared to the louder toys like Huggy, I had survived due to the fact that I was more quiet, so the prototype and his pathetic followers had missed me.

I tripped over a brick. "Ow." I thought, as I rolled down a pile of rubble. "Get your thoughts together Kissy." I told myself.

It wasn't hard living in this factory but there were these giant pits all over the place now. I seriously wanted to know what the remainder of the prototype's followers were doing that caused all these holes to start popping up. I would be lucky for one not to open up beneath me and suck me into the depths of wherever they led to.

I stood up on the pile of rubble that I had landed in. "Ugh, my head." I groaned. I must have hit my head when I slid down. "And this is why you don't walk around an abandoned factory, lost in your thoughts." I told myself, disgustedly. I stretched out my long arms and legs before continuing on my way. "Poppy, where are you?" I wondered.

I stared into the pit that had just swallowed my friend. It had all happened so fast that if I had blinked, I might have missed it. We had been talking and the giant pit just opened up beneath Catnap. I screamed myself hoarse, trying to help. I had tossed a wired cable down to him but I don't think he caught it. It was looking more and more like all my friends were all dying...

"No no no no!" I cried, chunking tons of shit into the hole. "They can't all be dead! No! Olivia and Catnap! You guys can't be dead!!!!" I broke down, tears falling into the stupid pit that had taken my friend's life. "I'll kill whoever is causing this. I'll end you the way you ended my friend and cousin!" Nothing was going to make me feel better now. I took a deep breath. I had nothing to live for now. I could end all my misery by jumping into the hole. I could end it all.....
