Mini Oz And The Mole People (CONTINUED FROM Nonbinary_Lily)

They're back.

Journal entry number 5

2:24am (almost spooky hour XD)

Oh my gosh. So much happened in the last couple hours. I'm currently sitting on the couch watching tv with Oz because neither of us can sleep.

I guess I better start from the beginning...

Oz and I were sitting on my bed for about an hour, talking about random things and keeping a lookout for the mole people. Even though I wanted Oz to finally believe me that they existed, I was still pretty scared of one actually showing up.

After a while of waiting when nothing showed up, Oz decided to go and make some tea or something to keep us awake the rest of the night. He said "Hey Mini I'm going into the kitchen to make some tea, do you wanna come?" I replied "No thanks, I'm going to keep a lookout. They could strike at any time."

He just sighed and made his way to the kitchen, leaving me alone. Boy do I regret not coming with him now...

Oz wasn't even gone five minutes when I heard tapping on the window. I looked over and there it was. Grinning menacingly with long, sharp teeth, it tapped on my bedroom window with one of its claws, red glowing eyes looking hungrily at me.

I was more terrified than I've ever been in my life. It's a little embarrassing for me to write, but I screamed and ran to Oz and hugged him tight.

He asked me what happened, but once again I was crying and shaki too much to explain. Again with the help of Oz I managed to calm down enough to say "I-it's th-them again. H-he wants to e-eat us, I t-told you they'd be b-back!"

Oz told me that mole people aren't real and I had probably fallen asleep and had a nightmare again, so he offered to come take a look with me back to my bedroom. I hid behind him as we walked in the room. I think he was expecting nothing to be there and to tell me to get some sleep, but the loud exclamation of "HOLY SH#%!!" told me that he saw it too.

Oz quickly shut the door to my bedroom and walked swiftly back to the kitchen with me right behind him.

"Ok", he said once we were all settled in with some hot tea and a couple of closed doors between us and that monster. "That thing can't be real can it? I mean there has to be some sort of logical explanation right? Maybe we both stayed up too late and had a mass hallucination, maybe it was a trick of the light. I mean it had to be! There's no way those mole motherf%&@ers are real! It's all just some stupid conspiracy that you and me got too wrapped up in and now we're having nightmares about it. Yeah, that has to be it!"

As much as I wanted to believe that we didn't see what we just did, I had to tell him that yes, mass hallucinations do occur, but they're very rare, and that we both know that Oz has stayed up later than 1:00 in the morning and hasn't ever hallucinated anything before, and that it couldn't have been a "trick of the light" because there are no trees or anything remotely capable of making a shadow like that outside my window.

Then Oz suggested that we watch some tv and try to forget about it till the morning.

Right now we're watching re runs of some TLC show in the living room.

I just really hope nothing bad happens to Oz. I tried to warn him. I really, really hope it's not too late. I love him way much to imagine what I'd do if he got eaten by a mole person.

Uh oh, he's smiling at me all weird now and patted my head, I think he saw what I wrote! I'm actually getting a little sleepy finally, so I'll update tomorrow.

****DISCLAIMER****

What I mean by "love" is the kind of love you have for family members, NOT the other kind, and what I mean by "smiling at me weird" is smiling like in a affectionate -how-you-would-smile-at-your-little-brother-way, NOT a creepy one.

The fact that I have to clarify those things is the reason why I believe humans as a species were a mistake and that a society of all cats would be so much better.
