The Secret

Chapter 2

(Corpses POV)

"Okay guys I'm gonna log off. I have to go grocery shopping." I tell my discord group. Series of 'noooooooo's' and 'don't go's' and 'only one more game' follow. I chuckle. "Bye guys." I say and log off.

I sit in my chair for a minute smiling slightly. I have the best discord group ever. We all really care about each other. Sean, Felix, Charlie, Dave, Sykkuno, Rae, Pooki, Leslie and Tommy..even though he refused to put on cat ears.

I get up from my chair and walk downstairs to the kitchen to where my keys are kept. I put on my black converses, adjust my eyepatch and mask. I grab my keys off the hook and drive to the grocery store.

My phone vibrates in my pocket. Probably the discord group. I turn on the radio for some soft background noise. I hate sitting in complete silence.

When I pull into the parking lot it takes me 5 times to get my car straightened out. 'Hey better that my swipe card skills in Among us' I think to myself before chuckling.

My phone keeps buzzing so I check it. Of course it's the discord group asking if I want to record. I send a quick reply saying that I'm busy grocery shopping. Come on guys I told you I was busy.

I step out of the car and close the door, more like slammed but it was an accident. Walking into the store I grab a shopping cart. I need..well a lot of things. I haven't been here in about 3 weeks. So yeah a lot of things are needed.

I go over to the produce section and pick out a ton of vegetables. That's all I really eat. Vegan life am I right? The best way to live. It can be frustrating at times but you grow to get used to it.

I then go down the isles. I needed paper towels. I reach down and grab the brand on the bottom shelf. And to my surprise I see a little girl there too.

Alexis's POV

The paper towels get pulled out from in front of me, I clutch on to Mr.Rabbit and squeeze my eyes shut, maybe they'll go away if I don't see them..

They can't see me..they can't see me..they can't see me...

I let out a small whimper due to how tight I am holding on to Mr.Rabbit. I pull the stuffy closer to me, still hopping the person will go away..I open my eyes a little to instantly shut them after realizing the person is still there. I really hope the person leaves soon. I hear them crouch down so I curl myself into the paper towels around me.

"P-please d-don't hurt m-m-me.." I manage to squeak out. I can tell he seems a little surprised..but why..? Isn't that how all older people treat younger kids when they do something bad? I mean mummy would hit me after her and daddy had a fight. I don't want to get hurt now..

All I can do is curl up even more and cry silently to myself. Mummy would hit me more if I cried in front of her..she always said it was a sign of weakness. But I am so scared right now I don't care if I cry. I don't know who this man is or what he wants.

"Are you okay?" A very deep voice asks me. It scares me a bit at first. "M-mr. R-rabbit-t s-s-save me.."I cry out holding him closer.

"Hey, hey. Calm down it's alright. I'm not going to hurt you okay?" The deep voiced man say.

"P-promise..?" My breathing becomes unsteady.

"I promise." He says while holding out his pinky to make the promise. I look up with tears in my eyes and lock my much smaller pinky with his. I try to steady my breathing but I can't, I'm terrified.

"See it's okay, I won't hurt you. My name is Corpse, what's your name? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He says.

"A-Alexis" I say while looking down.

"That's a pretty name. Are you ready to come out of your hiding spot?"

"I dunno...you're a stwanger..and in preschool we were told to not talk to stwangers.."

"Makes sense. Do you know where your parents are?"

"Mummy was over here one minute left and I've been here for hours..I just wanna sleep or something..I'm bored." I mumble out. I've been here for 8 whole hours!

"So your mom left without you?" He sounds a little mad. I nod slightly in response.

"How about this, let's get you out of that little fort, get you something to eat and then find your mom okay? You don't have to come with me but I'm here to help you."

"Okay.." what's the worst that can happen? He seems nice.

I crawl out of my space with Mr.Rabbit. Corpse is a little scary, I'm not gonna lie. But he also seems nice so I don't know what to think.

He reaches his hand out for me to hold, I look at his veiny arm and reluctantly put my much smaller hand in his.

Now saying I'm scared is an understatement. I start shaking not knowing what to think about the whole situation.

I think he notices me shaking which makes me even more scared. He crouches down to my level once again.

(Corpse's POV)

I crouch down to the little girls height. She looks to be about three, three and a half at most. Poor thing is scared half to death.

"Sweetie..I promise you everything will be okay. Remember? We locked pinkies and everything so it's official!" I tell her then chuckles. I even got a little giggle from her.

"Now as I said, let's look for your mom and find you something to eat."
