Chapter 47: The Dark Critters

CatNap was in a dark hallway again. He was looking around when he then noticed red smoke appearing around him.

“Not again…” He said, scared as he saw behind him a giant purple cat monster on all-fours with a gaping smile, “SHIT!”

CatNap then ran from the monster, as fast as he could. He keeps turning back to check if the monster was following him. It wasn't.

Halfway, he stopped to catch his breath.

“What… was that?” He wondered, “He keeps following me… He was like… a giant version of me…”

CatNap then turned around. The monster wasn't following him. He sighed in relief as the red smoke appeared in front of him.

“...Oh no…” He said as he hears low sounded purring from behind,

As CatNap was about to run without looking back, the monster got him and was face-to-face with him. CatNap was scared as he was caught and was face-to-face with the monster. He tried to free himself by moving around, but it wouldn't work.

“NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” He shouted as the monster roared at him,

Then, CatNap woke up with a scared scream. He was breathing heavily as he looked at his hands while in bed. But everything feels different. The bed he was sleeping on was red and black. He sighed heavily as he then put his hands on his face, but sometimes was off. Did he get a haircut? What happened to part of his hair covering one of his eyes? Then, he heard a voice from below.

“CatNap?” He said, sounding familiar to him,

CatNap looked down to see none other than DogDay, sleeping on the bed below him, but something was different. His little hair got… little. And he's got some sort of face paint on him. Red lines from his eyes down to his face as if he was crying, but he's not.

“DogDay?” CatNap said,

“What's wrong?” DogDay wondered,

“...I just had a terrible dream. …Again.”

DogDay sighed.

“When are you gonna have a good dream for once?” He wondered, in a different mood,

CatNap took a deep breath.

“Probably never…” He replied,

Then, the two critters heard a door opening, revealing a female reptilian-like critter in red and black. She was wearing a mask to cover her face and identity.

“Ah, you two are awake.” She said to them, “It's a brand new day for all of us.”

“Who are you?” CatNap wondered,

“I will not tell you my real name. For now, call me by my code name, Seraphina.”

“...Ok, Seraphina.”

“What do we need to do?” DogDay wondered,

“Well, this is the first day for you two after all… Whenever you're both ready, follow me, we already have something planned for you both.

Seraphina left and closed the door, leaving CatNap and DogDay alone. The two looked around the room they were in.

“What is this place anyways?” DogDay wondered, “And why did I feel like I forgot something in my life?”
