Evil Leafy's Revenge <Made by Isabel>

Chapter 11| The Trap Is Set

The air was thick with tension as the Have Nots huddled together, formulating their plan. Taco, Firey, Blocky, and Ruby gathered around a small, makeshift table in their camp, whispers and glances exchanged with urgency.

"We need to catch her in the act," Taco said, her eyes sharp with determination. "If we can get proof, Four will have to take action."

"But how?" Ruby asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "Lollipop's always been so careful. She never seems to slip up."

"We'll need to be strategic," Firey replied, his flames flickering with resolve. "We'll use the camp's layout to our advantage. Set up surveillance, catch her during one of her quieter moments."

"Surveillance?" Blocky asked, raising an eyebrow. "How are we going to do that?"

"Simple," Taco said, pulling out a few small cameras she had managed to scavenge. "We place these around the camp where Lollipop usually hangs out. They're low-profile, so she won't notice them."

Firey nodded. "And we'll need to create a diversion. Something to draw her out, make her act."

Taco's eyes glinted with a plan. "We'll have one of us pretend to be in trouble. That should get her attention."

The team agreed on the plan, each member assigned a role. Ruby was to be the "bait," making it look like she was in distress near the edge of the forest. Taco would monitor the feeds from the cameras, while Firey and Blocky kept a close watch from a hidden vantage point.

As night fell, the camp was eerily quiet. Ruby's heart raced as she took her position, pretending to struggle with a fake injury. She knew the risk but had agreed to play her part for the greater good. The cameras, discreetly placed in strategic locations, began their surveillance.

Lollipop wandered through the forest, her face blank and distant. The darkened camp had given her a brief respite, but the gnawing hunger to kill was never far away. Her mind was a battleground, Evil Leafy's control strong and unyielding.

Let's see what happens tonight, Evil Leafy's voice echoed in her mind.

When Lollipop caught sight of Ruby, she immediately moved toward her, her steps purposeful and methodical. Ruby feigned a struggle, her voice trembling as she called out.

"Help! Somebody, please!"

Lollipop approached, her eyes scanning Ruby's form. A small, calculating smile played at the corners of her lips. This was too easy. She reached out, her hand moving toward Ruby. But before she could do anything, Taco's voice crackled through a hidden speaker.

"Lollipop, stop right there!"

Lollipop froze, her hand inches from Ruby. The surprise was evident in her eyes as she turned to see Taco, Firey, and Blocky emerging from the shadows, their expressions a mix of anger and determination.

"You've been caught," Taco said, her voice firm. "We have evidence of what you've been doing."

Lollipop's face twisted in a mixture of fear and defiance. "You don't understand-"

"Save it," Firey cut in. "We've seen enough."

Blocky stepped forward, his eyes narrowing. "We're turning you in. Four will have to see the truth."

Lollipop felt the weight of Evil Leafy's presence growing stronger, the dark voice in her mind seething with rage. They're trying to stop us. Don't let them.

"No," Lollipop said, her voice shaking. "You don't understand-"

The group closed in, their resolve unwavering. Ruby had managed to stay out of harm's way, watching with a mix of relief and apprehension. The trap had worked, and now Lollipop stood exposed, her dark deeds revealed.

"Let's get her to Four," Taco said, her voice resolute. "This ends now."

As they led Lollipop away, her face was a mask of defeat and despair. Inside her mind, Evil Leafy's laughter echoed, a chilling reminder of the control that had twisted her into a monster.

But tonight, the Have Nots had won a small victory. They had caught the culprit, and justice would soon follow.
