The New Stick Figures

Chapter 5

Pure snapped awake, drenched in sweat. She didn't have a nightmare, but that feeling of dread had gotten so much worse. It was so bad now that she couldn't ignore it anymore. What time even is it? Pure thought. She checked the clock in her room. 5:30 am. It was really early, but now Pure was wide awake.

I have to find out what's making me feel this way, there's no way that it's just my imagination now. Pure thought. She got out of bed and quietly opened the door and walked down the hallway, not wanting to wake the others. Once she got to the main room she hurried down the stairs and opened the door that would allow her to walk through the rest of the computer.

Pure quickly climbed up the edge of the computer to a file within the computer. Once she reached it she climbed in and began to search around. I'll search every inch of this computer until I find something. And if I don't then I'll be ready for whatever comes to this computer. I won't let them hurt Second. I won't let them hurt anyone. Pure thought.

She quickly searched through the file, ready to search all day if she had to.

The Second Coming yawned and stretched in his bed, having just woken up. He sat up and checked the time on his clock. 7:38 am. Second got up and walked out the door to his room and walked into the main room to find that Red, Pink, Brown, Yellow, and Navy were already there, sitting around a table.

"Good morning." Second said. They all turned to Second. "Good morning." They all responded at the same time. Second sat down with them, a smile on his face. At that moment Blue and Green walked into the room and came over and sat down at the table with everyone else.

"So what are we doing today?" Green asked. "Well we're waiting for Pure to wake up." Brown said. Blue gave Brown a confused look. "But she's already awake. Her door is wide open and she's not in bed." Blue responded.

Brown stared at Blue. "Then she must have woken up before me, because I never overlook when anybody is in the same room as me for even a minute." Brown said. Both Pink and Navy had a weird look on their faces. "That's not like Pure at all to wake up earlier than everyone else." Pink stated. Brown and Navy both nodded in agreement.

"Something must be bothering her." Brown pronounced. Navy stood up and walked around the table. "We should find her and find out what's wrong." Navy said. Brown and Pink both nodded and stood up. "Anybody else gonna join us?" Navy asked.

Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue all nodded, but The Second Coming shook his head. "I would love to help but I have to help Alan animate in about five minutes." Second said. "Well you can help find her until those five minutes are up." Navy said.

"Alright, at least I can help for a little while." Second said. With that they all opened the door that would allow them to walk around the rest of the computer and began searching for Pure.

...............

Pure was now looking through Dropbox, searching for something that had already gotten into the computer or for anything hiding there until the perfect moment to strike. She had been searching for a little over two hours now, but she still wasn't gonna give up. Every time she stopped for just a moment to take a break the feeling of dread got even worse.

I am not about to let evil attack anyone on my watch! Pure thought. She continued her search, refusing to give up until either she found something or until she had searched the entire computer and found that nothing really is here.

.................

It had been a few hours since the search for Pure had started and The Second Coming was animating with Alan, worried sick about Pure since she still had been found. He was barely able to focus on animating. What if she's been hurt? What if she was accidentally deleted and that's why nobody can find her? Second thought.
