Claws (NekoXCreepypasta)

Chapter 13

Ring-a-round the rosie,
A pockets full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down.

I moaned and slowly opened my eyes finding the sun beating down on my face though the trees, "where am I?......where is Jeff?" I slowly sat up and looked around seeing the forest around me the mansion gone and well everything else, all I can hear is a small tune of ring around the rosie. I stood up and looked left and right seeing darkness no source of the sound I pulled my ears down and started to walk down the dirt path I was laying on. As I walked the tune of the song got louder and I notice something coming up in the distance it looked like a tent black and white. Then I realize it's the same one as Laughing Jack's tent I did a small smile knowing I was somewhat safe but how did I get here if I never opened the paper Jack gave me? Once I got close enough to the tent I pushed away the curtain seeing a small stage area with seats but looked abandoned. From that my smile quickly went away as I proceeded through the tent heading towards the middle but something felt off like something or someone was watching me. I kept walking watching the sand under my boots make a cloud of dust each time I took a step. Once I made it into the middle I closed my eyes and felt a slight breeze go around me and the sudden sound of something moving quickly through the air behind me. I quickly opened my eyes and turned around seeing a large black and white mallet coming towards me I growled and jumped out of the way watching it hit the floor next to me. I looked up seeing Zero a fellow Creepypasta but something was wrong her eyes were red and she was wearing colors except blacks and white it's as if it was her human form before she was turned into a Creepypasta. She laughed and lifted her weapon back up from the ground, "you know it's not often victims get away......but you're different and that's why we're going to destroy you" she whispered under her breath before jumping out at me again. But sadly I wasn't paying to much attention and focused more on what she said then focusing on staying alive so I got hit in shoulder. I hissed and turned and ran knowing I have nothing to protect myself with, "ohh come on you can't run but you can hide" I heard Zero call out behind me. Something was wrong sadly I knew this was Amanda's doing I quickly pushed the tent entrance out of my way and ran to my right towards the other tents. I wished Slender, Laughing Jack, even Jeff or someone, I have no idea what to do. I didn't get far till a shadow figure formed in front of me and blocked the entrance of the next tent holding two knifes. I backed up seeing two red shadow-ish eyes looking down at me this was that other guy LJ talked out but I sorta forgot his name Shadow.....something.

He didn't say anything and swung one of his knives at me grazing the slide of my face as I took a step back to dodge the attack. He hummed and stood back up like as if something was wrong, "This is too easy....." He whispered as a red glow cover his eyes. A sudden burst of laughter came from behind me I turned seeing Zero and the Puppeteer starting to circle me. I growled and let my claws out knowing all I can do is self defence not actual combat till I can get a weapon, I wish I would have taken Jane's advice on her fighting lesson. "What should we do first......" The shadow guy asked in a dark voice. "Don't worry let me handle her" the Puppeteer said letting golden string come out of his fingers giving me a glare before sending them at me wrapping around my right wrist tightly. He just started laughing as all I did was pull and tug at the strings next to attack was the Shadow guy, he quickly swung hardly giving me time to react. I manage to get large cuts on my arms and back as they started to sting like a burn. I turned my hands into fist knowing all I showed was I was weak. I yelped as something hard hit my left side causing me to land on my arm getting dirt into my cuts though my jacket which was now destroyed.

"Don't give up on us just yet cat girl I'm sure that girl from earlier wants to have a chat with you....." Zero said putting a smirk on her face placing down her mallet and pulling out a pocket knife. I coughed and watched as she leaned down to look me in the eyes holding the knife over her "Sweet dreams cat....." she whisper but before she could do anything I kicked her in the stomach causing her to drop the knife and fall backwards because of my unexpected hit. I quickly grabbed the pocket knife from the sand under me and stood back up in a fighting stance I didn't want to hurt any of them, I'm not a killer.
