A Dummy's Lady - A Goosebumps Fanfiction {Completed}

A Puppet's Wants And Needs

October 13, 2015 - 10:00 a.m.

My arms shook. I tried to get them to stop, but I could not. They were scared.

I was scared.

The tiredness that was in me a minute ago had left in a flash. No longer was I yawning, and my eyelids shot upward in surprise.

Surprise by a puppet.

Who was talking all by itself.

"A-are you remote-controlled?" I wondered, hoping that would be the logical explanation as to why he was standing and talking on his own.

Though, that did not explain the monsters. Perhaps that it was just a dream.

I pinched myself. "Yow!"

Guess not.

The puppet took a step towards me and took my hand into his. "Do not hurt yourself, my dear," he spoke. "After all, I have an offer that I most certainly want you to accept."

My hands shook, and I quickly pulled my hand back and scooted away.

"Aw, do not be frightened. I will not hurt you. I promise." He chuckled darkly.

I was about to get up and run for the hills when I felt something behind me.

Something smooth and bony.

I slowly turned my head and saw three pairs of legs. My teeth chattered as I looked up and saw three alien-like heads staring down at me.

"Ah!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

One of the aliens grabbed me and held me close. I tried to get away, but the alien would not let me do so.

"Let me go!" I demanded. "I want to go home!"

"Home?" the puppet repeated. "Why on earth would you want to go home? You hate it there. Your caretaker and her dummy boyfriend."

I opened my mouth to respond, but no sound came out. I looked down. He was right. I hated my new home.

Slappy walked to me and took my hand into his once again. "Just as a friendly reminder, my name is Slappy. I am called other names, but you can just call me Slappy. Just do not call me the 'D' word."

I narrowed my eyebrows. "'D' word?"

"You know. D. U. M. M. Y."

"Oh. You mean—"

He covered my mouth. "Do not say the word. I am already taking a liking to you. Do not ruin it." He uncovered my mouth, and then glared at the aliens and nodded to them. The alien that was holding me released me, and all three aliens entered the police station.

I glanced behind me, debating whether it would be the perfect time to run away or not.

"Do not think about it," Slappy said as if he could read my thoughts. "You will not be able to get away from me and my friends that easily."

I looked back at him and frowned. "What do you want with me?" I asked.

"For many reasons." He examined me and smirked. "First of all, you are the most beautiful girl that I have ever laid eyes on."

I could not help but blush a little at his comment. "...seriously?"

"Seriously." He led me inside the station, and I gasped when I saw the two police officers who were frozen solid.

"Oh my gosh."

Slappy let go of my hand and walked around the officers, nodding as he did so.

"Nice work, body squeezers!" he exclaimed happily. The puppet then hurried to the back of the station.

I just stood there, both shocked and amazed. I let my arms dangle to the sides and blew a strand of hair from my eyes.

Was this happening? Was this really happening to me? Did I actually talk with a puppet who needed no help to talk or walk from a human?

I turned to the entrance doors. It was daylight, and there were no monsters in sight.

This was my chance to escape.

But before I could take a step towards the doors, the puppet appeared and grabbed my arm.

"Where do you think that you are going?" he asked.

"Uh..." I turned to him and instantly giggled.

"What? What is so funny?"

"You!" I said between giggles.

Slappy was wearing a police cap on his head and sunglasses. He looked darling.

"Cute outfit," I complimented.

"Cute?" he said. "I am not cute! I am scary!"

"Well, you can be scary and cute at the same time."

"Enough!" He pulled out a sharp knife.

I shook again. "W-what are you going t-to do with that k-knife?"

He snickered. "You will find out."
