Don't Starve Together:A Wortox Story

Chapter 3-A Small Mission

Wortox arrived home at his little stump,being proud about winning the little bout with Blitz.
The Imp unequipped the jacket,as it was getting a little hot for him.He sat on his stump and realised that he was pretty much starving himself,considering the sandwich Beverley gave him only filling a little bit of his tummy.He got back up and looked around for something to eat,taking the pants off as well;he didn't want to ruin something that wasn't his.The starving Imp looked around for food and found a butterfly.Wortox hid from it,and slowly approached,making sure not to scare it.It fluttered pretty elegantly,making the Imp hesitate,but only a little.He continued to creep until he was close enough to retrieve it.He appeared from the bush and trapped it between his claws."I am fairly sorry..my small colorful friend."Wortox said as he slowly walked back to his stump and sat on it.After looking at the butterfly in his paws,his paws began to glow red.Wortox crushed the small insect between his claws.Wortox slowly opened his paws up and saw the poor thing.It was dead.It's soul came out shortly after,and Wortox devoured it."The gruesome things I must do to live..."The Imp said as he set the poor crushed insect down on the grass."I'm sorry..."Wortox continued."For what?"Beverley said as she and her friends came through the clearing."Oh..hello there.No trouble after I left,I assume.."Wortox said."Nope.We were fine afterwards."Judy said,rubbing the Imp's furry head."Thanks to you that is...I can't say the same for my glasses though.."Nick said."I might be able to help you with that,if you know what I mean.Hyuyu."The Imp said,as he began to smile mischievously at Nick.The boy,feeling the slightest bit of discomfort,nodded and agreed to what Wortox wanted to do."Do you think we can stay at your place Beverley?Our parents won't be home tonight.."Judy asked."Yeah..I think so.We should get back soon too."Beverley said as she began walking through the clearing,letting her friends know that they were to follow.The rest eventually caught on,and followed their fiend all the way to her house,and to the back door."What's the plan if your parents see Wortox?"Nick asked."I want to let them know about him..but I'm kinda scared to.."Beverley said."It's okay,we'll help you.That's what friends are for!"Judy said.Bev nodded and opened the door."I'll wait outside,until you're done."The Imp said as he sat on the ground."Are you sure?"Bev asked."I am sure."Wortox insisted."The three nodded and headed into the house.Around a few minutes later,Beverley came out."Come on in Wortox.I think it worked."She said.The Imp got up and followed her in.He stood at the door."Come on Wortox,you'll be okay!I promise."The girl continued as she lead him into the living room,where her parents sat with Nick and Judy.The father was the first to notice the Imp.He cleared his throat,making Wortox look at him."Hello Wortox,do you speak?"He asked."Indeed I do.For I am a Imp you see."Wortox said.Beverley's father nodded.He looked over at his wife.She nodded as well."Alright Wortox.I think you're alright to stay here.I only request that you take care of Beverley when we're gone."He said.Wortox nodded,giving him the okay.The parents got up and gave Bev kisses before leaving the home.Now the four were home alone for the rest of the day."What now?I kinda didn't expect that to work to be honest.."Judy said."We're going to hang out.That was the plan right?"Nick asked."Well..since our plan for Wortox worked,we should begin our hangout session!"Beverley said happily.She lead her Impy friend to her room,along with her other friends.Bev sat on the bed while Judy examined the wardrobe."I wonder if we can get into the other room from here.."She said as she moved the clothes around."Yeah,we still can."Bev said as she walked through the clothes."It leads to our guest room!"She confirmed.Wortox followed,and sat on the bed."It feels rather comfy sitting here.Is this what mortal comfort is?"The Imp asked.Beverley nodded."We call that a bed silly.My grandma used to knit quilts and blankets like that one."The girl replied and went back into the other room,leaving Wortox to his lonesome."I wonder how my fellow monster friends are doing.."The Imp said to himself,trying not to speak so loudly.

Meanwhile...

Wortox met many people and a few monsters in their trip through The Constant.He was very fond of the monsters though,and a few of the mortals.To name a few,Wortox liked Wormwood,Wert,Webber,
Wendy and Wilson.There was also Wendy and Wickerbottom.In occasion,he would also be happy around Woodie and Winona.He loved talking to Wigfrid about mythical stories and he loved to preform routines with Wes.The Imp even pulled off pranks with Willow.He fought with Wolfgang and helped Warly cook from time to time.Considering Wortox has been away for so long,the group began getting worried that something could've happened to the poor imp.Right now at the camp,Webber was talking to Wurt."Do you think he's okay?We are scared that he won't come back.."The spider said."I'm sure he is okay,florp.Imp strong,like Wurt and Merm king!"The small merm girl said."We'll go ask someone.."Webber said as he got up and looked for someone to ask.He ended up finding Wilson and Warly cooking and tending to a campfire."Mr.Wilson?"The spider called,pulling on his shirt a little bit.Wilson turned to the spider."Hi Webber,what seems to be the problem?"He asked."We are scared for Wortox.Will he come back?"He asked.Wilson nodded."He always comes back.You don't have to worry."Wilson said,reassuring the spider."Okay..thank you Wilson."Webber said as he went back to Wurt and told her."I told you he'll be okay,florp.Imp come back soon!"Wurt said,trying to comfort her friend."Yeah.You're right.We think he'll be okay."The spider said,as he sat with his friend.Eventually Warly called.It was time for dinner.

Back with Wortox..

Wortox was feeling pretty weak and drowsy from the comfort of the guest bed quilt.The Imp was laying down now,barely keeping his eyes open.Beverley loomed over him."You seem really tired Wortox,you can sleep if you want.."She said.He was barely listening to her at this point.He nodded a drifted off to sleep.Bev went back through the closet to get back to her room.
