Rose - A Poppy Playtime Story

Chapter 56 - Blood

(I'm cold :,D)

"Us?" Crafty meekly said, tilting her head to the side. Kissy mirrored her.

"Th-they thought y-you w-w-wanted to h-hurt me." Catnap giggled.

Hoppy looked to the side, crossing her arms, "Trust me, I would if I could." She muttered. Angel, who was close enough to hear, shot her a glare.

"So, they're friendly...?" Crafty asked, gulping. Catnap hummed in agreement, nodding his head.

Poppy walked over to Kissy, putting her arms out above her to signal she wanted to be picked up. She never took her eyes off of the cat.

"That's great, but I want to get out, please." Dogday whispered to the feline. There was a nervous edge to his voice, and his eyes were fearful.

Catnap just nodded, and started trying to move. He was successful, with the minis just jumping off of him to allow him to scoot over so he wasn't against the wall.

When Dogday tried the same, it did not have the desired results.

Dogday put one hand on the floor, and tried to hoist himself up, but the minis swiveled their heads toward him. Making him freeze up.

Dogday tried to imagine that they were just like the little minis he had grown to consider his allies.

Though the look in their eyes threw him off. They were hungry, and they recognized him as one of their most untouchable snack.

They were still hungry. Hungry for his flesh.

Dogday took in a quick breath of air, and fully backed up against the wall, staring at the minis, afraid to move.

Catnap raised an eyebrow, "D-Dogday, it's a-a-alright. They w-won't hurt y-y-you."

Dogday couldn't register the words the cat had said, instead he watched as a few minis crawled further onto his shaking body.

"H-help me." He whispered, to no one in particular. He flinched when a sharp snap echoed through the space.

He looked up, along with the less than comforting minis. Catnap had his hand slightly raised, and was beckoning the minis to come to him.

They all obliged, waddling over to him, and leaving the dog to slow his beating heart. Angel rushed over to him as the minis piled onto Catnap.

"Are you okay?" They asked, getting on one knee. Dogday nodded, gulping.

Dogday looked around and noticed Hoppy, Bomb, and Poppy glaring at the crowd of minis, and by extension, Catnap. Kissy and Crafty seemed to not really care or know what was going on.

Meanwhile, Maraca was squeaking its head off while Catnap tried sooth the small creature.

"Okay, we're all alive. Let's just continue. The faster we get to the base, the better for us all." Dogday concluded, getting up and standing.

Angel lifted themselves back up, and looked around.

"Alright, everyone! We should go." Angel announced, clapping their hands together.
