Ox, huh? That's kind of... Sweet of him.. No, snap out of it! You're in!  You thought but quickly silenced it after. The three of you sneaked in and crouched, hiding behind a pile of boxes. The room was quite large, illuminated by dim lights on the ceiling. The atmosphere felt a bit.. Eerie. And chilling.  With a giga ntic table in the middle and machineries or gadgets in front of the room. It must be some kind of meeting or planning room for him and his evil plans. You peek around the corner of the boxes to see Lou typing and pressing things you couldn't understand. He had an evil smirk plastered on his face as he stared up at a huge screen in front of him, not knowing that he was being watched by the three of you.

You turned around and looked back at Mandy and Nolan. "Can you see what he's doing?" You mouthed out before checking back at lou,  being cautious. The two dolls shook their head as a reply. It looked like a bunch of computer codes. He's managing-or ciphering something.  But for what?

"who's there?" Lou said and turned around in one motion, causing all of you to quickly duck from the sudden surprise. Everything fell silent as you all waited for what felt like hours.

Shit.

Mandy suddenly grabbed you, making you flinch before turning to her. "H-he's walking around! He's gonna catch us in here!!" she whispered. You bit your lips and fail to find a place to run or hide, nor something to distract him with.

"You know I can hear you, right?...(y/n)?" You hear Loud spoke softly in a husky tone. Nolan and Mandy looked up at the doll behind you with terrified faces.

Shit.

You turn around and see him standing there, smiling down at the three of you. "Well well!   (y/n)! I've caught you hiding... Again." his smile faded into a pitying look, which you really hate. His eyes then travelled to see Mandy, "Mandy! Of course.. You told them. And betrayed me!" Lou said dramatically, acting hurt. "Tell us what you're up to, Lou!" Nolan spoke up bravely, but fear was clearly shown in his voice. Lou's eyes flicked onto him menacingly, as if hearing his voice triggered something in him.

sHiTsHItSHiTsHiTshIt.

"You!!.." He growled, stepping forward, like a predator about to consume the hell out of it's prey. He stopped himself and sighed. "(y/n)- you are so much more than... this!!" Lou gestured the two dolls behind you. "just come with me, we can rule perfection together. " Lou furrowed his eyebrows at you, you were afraid, you could've sworn that his eyes glowing as the rest of his face was shadowed.

But then you looked closer, studying his face more.. Searching for... I don't know, anything else but this devil mask he puts on. And you saw it, his face softened, almost like he was pleading. But you obviously shook your head to his offer.

seeing his face frown in disappointment, as if he was betrayed, you almost felt bad for him. "Sorry Lou... Not this way,  not your ways.. I can't. " You said and stood up, though your heart was still beating fast, from either from fear or something else, you walk closer to him, blocking his view of Nolan and Mandy. "Just leave them out of his, I convinced them to come and help me- but this is between you and me. Please, don't punish them for-"

"Fine. Go." Lou said,  sighing. The two dolls stared at you worriedly, but you nod at them in reassurance. And so they left,  leaving the two of you alone. "(y/n)." he mumbled and walked around the room, and you walked over to the table, and stared at him, waiting for that rambling he always does. "You're the only doll that can be compared to me. You and I are alike. So,  I want to know why you always think I'm the bad guy for trying to help others go to the big world! this is the only way-"
