Rose - A Poppy Playtime Story

Chapter 35 - Storm

(And it begins...)

"Stupid doll, stupid school, stupid brain!" Catnap ranted, marching through the hallways and glaring at any object in sight.

He kicked a CandyCat head, the force being enough to send it flying into the wall and break.

He couldn't calm down, no matter what he did. Since he had left the dome he just couldn't stop the wave of emotions threatening to drown him.

Then his ear twitched. He stopped, his eyes widening as he listened for the sound again.

"Bomb, please stop that!" An unfamiliar voice said. Catnap turned his body to the direction of the noise, unblinking.

There was a laugh, and a shriek of fear. He could hear footsteps, getting louder with each step.

"Everyone, calm down!"

Catnap's ears shot up, his eyes dilated. The urge to run was suddenly over powering, but at the same time he couldn't move.

The footsteps got louder, the words becoming more and more clear.

Catnap finally managed to get his legs to cooperate, and ducked behind a table that was on its side.

Then they rounded the corner.

There was a bunny, a unicorn, a human, a dog, and two minis. Catnap's eyes couldn't decide on which one to look at first: the dog, human, or small red bear.

"Dogday, please tell your friend to stop laughing at me!" The human complained, trying to pry Bomb off of them.

"Hoppy-" Dogday began.

"Dogday, don't with me. You know how stuff like this went when the factory was still running."

Dogday just sighed, then laughed. Catnap's tail swished back and forth, his eyes darting from one heretic to the next.

Then Catnap realized something.

"Where the fuck did Dogday find his legs?" He whispered, dumbfounded. He then noticed the burn mark, Catnap narrowed his eyes.

Stitches would have worked a lot better. He subconsciously thought.

The group suddenly turned and began walking towards Catnap. Hoppy looking around the area with suspicion.

Catnap almost gasped when Hoppy stood right next to the table he was hiding behind.

Then he realized this was an opportunity.

"Okay, where do we go now?" Angel asked the rabbit, holding a flailing Bomb out in front of their body.

"I'm don't know! I may have been a little lost when I found you guys." Hoppy admitted, still holding the unicorn's hoof with her paw.

"Hoppy, Bee warned you to not get lost." Crafty said quietly. Hoppy stuttered for a while not finding the words to defend herself.

"Who's Bee again?" Angel asked, raising an eyebrow.

"A cat that has black and yellow stripes with bee features!" Hoppy yelled.
