smiles terror blood and obsession: BULLETPROOF LUST

chapter 13

I soon returned to the room underneath the statues, and when I arrived I collapsed on my knees, clutching my chest tightly due to the great terror I was feeling at the moment. I was on the verge of hyperventilating and passing out at any moment, but I managed to pull myself together enough to not do so and eventually got back up, releasing the grenade launcher off his back and reloading it but when unfortunately he realized that it's fully loaded but has no more bullets to reload it with.

I stared blankly at a nearby wall, as I remembered the chase I had just experience with the Critters, especially the one with hoppy and CraftyCorn. I grabbed my head and then let out a slight scream for a few seconds before stopping. 'Why are they so obsessed with me??! What made them so obsessed with me like that??? I mean, I can more or less understand CatNap's reasons, but the others?? I have no idea why they act so clingy, since I've never met them in person, yet they act like they've met me before!' I then let out another scream, clenching my hands around my head even tighter. 'Ohhhhh fuck!! Why do I feel a familiar feeling when I'm around her?? Why is this happening?? Where does this familiar feeling come from? What am I missing?!?' I thought, feeling very frustrated while touching my face with my hands.

'I want to get out of here' I thought, exhausted and ready to collapse at any moment. Then, the ringing of the phone interrupted my thoughts, the sound scaring me. I then relaxed after a few seconds when I realized it was the phone, and I grabbed it, although I could barely take it because of the fear running through me that was not allowing me to move my fingers properly. I had quite a bit of difficulty taking the phone and bringing it up to my ear while my hands were shaking violently.

"Hello?"

"Damn that thing almost got you! Heh, good thing I closed that hatch remotely to prevent you from getting caught. Ugh, you're lucky that some areas of Playcare are still running without main power being on," Doug said through the phone. At that moment I mentally thanked him for helping me, as if it hadn't been for him, CraftyCorn would have surely captured me at that moment.

"So you're okay?? No harm done?" Doug's voice spoke out again, with him hearing concern in the man's voice on the other end of the line.

I was silent for a few moments as I remembered the dark moment I'd very recently had with CraftyCorn and hoppy before I responded again. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry."

Are you sure? You sound pretty nervous?"

"Yes, I'm fine!" I responded again with quite some difficulty due to my nervousness.

"Mmmm, okay. Leaving that aside, tell me, did you manage to activate the school's generator and plug it in?" He asked, prompting me to make a sad face.

"No, I wasn't able to," I replied.

"What?! What happened?!" Doug asked curiously with concern very evident in his voice.

"It was destroyed," I said quickly without hesitation. I heard him curse on the other side for a few seconds before he spoke again.

"How did it happen?" He asked me, causing me to sigh.

I quickly explained to him everything that had happened at the school, from the people who had hidden there to what happened with the generator, about how Delight had destroyed it and then chased me, and how I managed to escape from her. Of course I didn't tell him what really happened to her, about how CatNap had cynically killed her right in front of me, although I had given my explanation with great difficulty due to nerves and I heard him sigh deeply on the other side as I spoke.

"Shit... I didn't expect any of that. So the employees who hid there are all dead. It's a real shame," Doug said pitifully. "And that damn motherfucker destroyed the generator."
