This story is kind of spoofy because one, my oc (also called Sapphire lol) has been stalking all the characters in the comic (via reading it). I used Coral for the SH character since I thought her desperation to escape would leave her begging for help to Sapphire. Coral moves swiftly through the trees, taking everything in. "Got to find a way out of here," she mutters. Suddenly she hears a rustling in the bushes. A flash of orange zips in her vision and then disappears. "Flame?" The orange flash comes back and a cat steps out. She's a tortoiseshell, with an orange tuft of fur over one eye. The other is vibrant blue. She only has a half-leg on one of her front legs, swathed in cobweb. Coral steps back instinctively. "W-who are you?" she stammers. The tortoiseshells smiles softly. "I'm Sapphire. Nice to finally meet you, Coral." Coral's eyes widen. "Sapphire? Are you-" Sapphire's turn to look shocked. "No, no. I'm not... THAT Sapphire. No, I've been stalking- uh, following your story, for a while now." Coral shakes her head in disbelief. "So that's how you know my name." "Yep. So, what are you doing out here in the forest anyway? Aren't you... a mermaid cat? You know, who lives in... water?" "I was... looking for a way out of here" Coral replies hesitantly. "You see, I've found out now thatthisisallagameandI'mstuckhereforalleternityasWillow'ssourceofamusementunlessIcangetoutandbeFREE." Sapphire stares at her with a confused look. "You're never gonna get out of here as long as Willow can draw you. But you do you." She steps back and disappears into the bushes. Coral stares after her, confused, then leaps after her, seeing that Sapphire has truly DISAPPEARED, not just hidden. She throws herself into the air and.... falls. "Sapphire!" she yells. "Please help me! Get me out of here!" Sapphire appears again, but just her head is poking out of thin air. "I COULD get you out, but.... the real world is worse than here. And like I said, you would just be brought back here every time Willow draws you, and I'll only check in on you guys so often." Her head disappears again. Coral backs away, then runs off. "Maybe, if I keep trying, I can get out of here. There has to be a way." She glances back at the spot where Sapphire disappeared. "And maybe..... IcanbreakallofWillow'sartsuppliesEVERthenaskSapphiretogetmeoutofhere..."she pauses to gasp dramatically-"cuz Willow can't just GET new art supplies....right?" Not Coral not knowing how money/buying things works TvT
