Parasite Outbreak: Chapter 6

Instructions

WARNING: Mentions of (unaliving) and sh1ps (Goob POV) Me and Scraps were making paper crafts while hiding under the counter of Dandy's shop in the lobby. We have been hiding there for a few days, since there was plenty of supplies there and no one seemed to come to this floor. Scraps hadn't really liked the idea of just sitting around and making crafts at first, but I managed to talk her into it. She can't say no to my puppy eyes. I thought of it as a way to lift up our spirits. I was making a puppy using paper and some pipe cleaners while Scraps was making a face mask out of a paper plate. Scraps spoke up, her voice quiet. "Do you think...the others are alive?" She asked, momentarily pausing mid-cvt of the paper mask. I sighed, looking down. "I mean, I hope so." I missed the other toons truthfully. Especially Glisten. He has asked me to be his bf a few days before the parasites began showing up. After that, he ran away with some other toons and I haven't seen him since. Sometimes I questioned if he even loved me at all. I mean, if he loved me, surely he wouldn't just have abandoned me, right? My fingers tightened on the pipe cleaner I was holding. Scraps must've noticed because she gently wrapped her arms around me. I whimpered and buried my face in her shoulder, tears welling up in my eyes. "I miss Glisten...and everyone else..." I muttered as she soothingly patted my back. I heard a wistful sigh escape her. "I know..." I had a feeling she was thinking of Poppy. After I told her Glisten wanted to be my bf, she told me that she wanted to ask Poppy out but was too scared. She was supposed ask her out the day that the parasites invaded. I hugged her with my arm, nuzzling her cheek. "At least we have each other, right?" Before she could respond, the sound of the elevator opening caused us both to perk up. "Someone is here!" Scraps exclaimed, jumping to her feet. I jumped to my feet too. "Yay! Maybe it's Dandy or Dyle!" We ran to the elevator. But we didn't see Dandy or Dyle. Instead, we saw me. My parasite. My eyes widened and I backed away. "S-Scraps, that's not..." His arms extended out and grabbed me, wrapping his arms around me in the tightest hug ever. I felt the air escaping my lungs quickly. Scraps ran up to me, yelling my name. She punched and punched at the imposter me, but she wasn't strong enough. "Scraps...you gotta go..." I managed to say before everything faded to black.
