soft.
that was all you felt around you as you shifted tiredly, letting out a noise.
“hm.. i know, neighbor. it must be so tiring to move”, his voice softly echoed against your eardrums, inviting you to go back dreamland.
his soft, oh so soft hands rubs your back in a circular motion, humming. “it’s okay, you can sleep all you want now that i’m here.”
that made you shifted.
you groggily tried to get up, your body feeling heavier than before.
why couldn’t you speak?
you felt a grip hold you down, tighten lightly as you shifted against it. “now now, is that anyway to treat a dear friend of yours?” he mused, holding your body a bit tighter.
you let out a small groan, eyes awfully heavy but glancing upwards to the person holding you.
your body went cold as you were greeted with his half lidded eyes staring straight at you, a cat like smile plastered on his yellow face.
“you look so cute sleeping, friend.” he said, a certain hint to it, but you couldn’t pay attention to it as you were absorbed with his staring alone. “but i’m sure you taste better.”
now that made you felt like you were in danger.
you brought up your heavy hand, trying to remove yourself from his embrace.
he lets out a soft monotone laugh as he brought you closer, practically feeling his eyes staring down at you. “you shouldn’t be moving so much, [name]”
“what if you hurt yourself, hm?” he continued his talk, bringing his fleece-like hand on your head, petting you. “just relax and keep quiet.”
you wanted to move.
to get out of his inviting embrace.
to scream.
to do anything.
but you couldn’t.
you felt your throat tighten as your eyes began to water, breathing shakily as you put your head to the stranger’s shoulder.
the puppet lets out a purr, eyes staring at your every movement.
“why are you crying [name]? you should be happy that your dear friend is here.” he said, an underlying tone of.. something else floating through his words, feeling his stare increasing.
that stare.
those black eyes.
it sends shiver down your back as you felt his eyes absorbed every little movement and breath you let out.
you just want to go sleep and wake up to find this puppet was only from your imagination.
to find your bed empty.
“[name].”
you stiffened at the mention of your name, closing your eyes and hoping he’d fall for your fake sleeping.
“i know you’re awake, silly [name].” his grip tightened a bit more, making you let out a small uncomfortable gasp.
as if that would work.
“silly, silly [name].” he repeated, going back to petting your head as he lets out a hum.
“i’m sure you’ll love it at Home.” he said nonchalantly, his hand slightly petting your head a bit rougher.
“oh how much fun it’ll be, i’m sure you’ll love your new friends there, dearest.” his monotone voice chimes, his smile stretching a bit more.
“and we’ll make sure your stay at Home will be comfortable, nothin’ but the best for you, [name].” he mused, his hands going towards your cheeks, moving your face to look at him.
you choked back a sob as your eyes stared at his dull black eyes.
“besides..” he mused, caressing your cheek as he stares at you more intensely.
“i’ll have to make sure you’re on your best behavior, hm?”
