Rose - A Poppy Playtime Story

Chapter 57 - Abandonment

(Y'all ain't ready for this...)

"We're just going to leave him here?" Dogday whispered to himself, his tail in between his legs. He looked to Angel trying to not grimace at the sight of the blood still dripping from their hand.

"We're taking Angel, right?" Dogday asked, almost in a panic.

"If they want to come, sure. If not, we're not forcing them." Hoppy said, glaring at the human. They glared back.

Dogday looked back to Catnap, who was still sitting there, completely out of it. Dogday frowned, and gulped.

The salvia in his mouth was hard to swallow, and he could feel his throat muscles bending to accommodate it.

He took a deep breath, his body shuttering. He got up as tears filled his eyes, hoisting Angel up with him. Angel looked at Dogday, their eyes wide.

They began to shake their head, reaching out to touch Dogday's shoulder. But, Dogday just caught their hand and looked at them.

The tears had begun to fall, his eyes looked heavy and the human could see the sparkle in his eye completely vanish.

He shook his head. His bottom lip pressed upwards onto his upper lip, creating a thin line.

He looked back down to the ground, then glanced at Hoppy. Her eyes momentarily widened once she saw his expression.

"Fine. I hope you're happy now, Hoppy." Dogday mumbled, his voice soft. He then just walked away, moving past Hoppy and continuing down the path. (😨)

Angel swiveled their head back to Catnap as Hoppy and Poppy turned to follow. Kissy gently leading Crafty in their direction.

The unicorn was stuttering, confused. She tried to fight the gentle push of the pink creature but Kissy kept tugging her along.

Angel stood there for a minute, making sure the others hadn't disappeared out of their sight. Before shaking their head solemnly and following. Maraca squeaked at them, anger filling her high pitched squeals.

When the entire group was out of sight, Maraca just stared, her chest slowly rising and falling.

"I'm a killer..?" Catnap muttered, his grip on the bear tightening. Maraca turned her head towards him, and started hitting her paws against his body. Trying to get his attention.

He seemed to be in a trance. His eyes wide and alarmed, his breath quickening. It was as if he was completely in another world.

The other minis began following suit, hitting their heads and paws against the feline's body.

Wake up!

Move!

They're leaving you behind!

Please, friend, come back!

With one loud squeak and a head-spinning knock with the small bears head. The cat gasped, his eyes looking around the room frantically.

"W-w-where?-" He gasped, his eyes squinting. The minis began spurting their stories out at him.

The evil bunny-

He left-

They betrayed you!-

Catnap whimpered, his ears flattening against his head. He looked around at the pile of minis, all squeaking and speaking to him.

He gulped, sparkling tears starting to fill his eyes. The loud squeaking making his heart pound.

Before a loud squeal echoed through the area. Silencing everyone.
