I stare at the me who's on the ground. She's thrashing against the Dog's grip, but it's like she's not moving at all to the Dog. I don't know what to do, so I do what Noah would most likely do.
I run at them.
Surprise registers on the Dog's face before we smack into each other hard. We both fall down so hard the air is knocked out of us. The other me scurries away on all fours, crying.
The Dog reaches out to try to grab her, but I'm faster, and I drive my elbow into her side with as much force as I can. All those times I saw wrestling come back to help me fight a supernatural bully.
Never thought I'd say anything as remotely weird as that.
I get up on all fours and look at the other me. She's scrambling to her feet. She's terrified.
"Go! Get outta here, now!" I shout.
She doesn't need to be told twice. She turns and runs off with speed I envy. The Dog girl literally growls at me. She turns to face me and snarls, tackling me to the ground again.
"Little Rabbit, foolish little girl," she chides. "Did you forget about my knife?"
"Did you forget about me?" says the Other Me. She whacks the Dog over the head and shoves her off me. Other Me helps me up and smiles a little. "Now we're even."
"How'd you get here? How'd I get here? Why save me?"
"Jeff did this to us, y/n. And you're me, I die if you die."
"That's noble, I guess," I say. "You wouldn't happen to know how to get out of here and back home?"
"No clue. But I do know I have to go, and you have to keep away from her, and Slendy. They know what you can do, and they won't keep you alive for long."
"So why would Jeff do this to us? What'd we do to him?"
She sighs. "He works for Slendy now."
