Ashley lay back onto her bed and sighed, unlocking her phone and going onto Twitter.
She scrolled through her feed, laughing at memes and cooing over dog pictures and replying to a few DMs.

One particular message stood out to her.

that poppy:
I'm Poppy

She pulled a face. It was strange; it wasn't "Hi I'm Poppy" or "Hi Halsey", it was just "I'm Poppy".

h:
Hi Poppy

She shrugged and went to pocket her phone when it dinged again.

that poppy:

that poppy:

h:

h:

h:

Poppy?

h:
hello?

Ashley frowned, but locked her phone and went downstairs, calling her dog to go for a walk with him.

"Jagger!" She called "Here, boy!"

Usually, Jagger came running for her but he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Jagger?" It became more of a question now.

Ashley was starting to panic. He wasn't in the kitchen or upstairs or outside or in the pool.

"Jagger?! Jagger??" She ran around her house. Where was he?

Then, she noticed a piece of paper sitting beside her phone. She snatched it and opened it.

Poppy really likes your doge

"What the fuck?!" Ashley shouted, grabbing her phone to message Poppy.

h:
You stole my dog??

h:
What the fuck
give him back!

that poppy:
Poppy really likes you
doge. Doge is warm.

h:
I know! But he's my dog!
You can visit him all you
want but please, just
give him back.

that poppy:
But Poppy really likes Doge.
Computer boy said you
wouldn't mind.

h:
well I do mind!
Give him back

h:
Poppy??

h:
Poppy what the fuck
I'm really scared I
really want my dog
back

"Here is your doge"

Ashley jumped and shrieked loudly, turning to see a petite blonde haired girl holding Jagger.

"Jagger!" Ashley ran to him, hugging him. "Poppy, what the fuck, don't steal my dog please"

"Poppy likes doges" the girl said with a sad face "Computer boy said it would be okay. I just wanted a doge"

Who even was this "Computer boy" thought Ashley. Did Poppy realise that he was controlling her?

"Just, don't do it again okay. Come visit if you want, but just...don't take my dog" Ashley told Poppy.

Poppy just stared at the floor sadly before suddenly looking up. She moved her head awkwardly, twisting it and Ashley swore she saw her glitch "I love you. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy. I'm Poppy"

Poof. She was gone.

Ashley looked at Jagger " You saw that too right?"

Jagger just wagged his tail at her.

"Come on let's go for that walk" she smiled at him.

She never saw the message on her phone.

that poppy:
help me
