Chapter Text
“You have to be fucking jokin’ me.”
Hurried footsteps filled the damp ground as Froggydude bolted across the forest. Shit– they were catching up now?? If only Baby Villager were here to actually save his ass, this fight would’ve been a piece of cake! Froggydude ran as he would occasionally turn his head to shoot bullets from his rifle.
Reloading. . .
FIRE!
Froggy’s finger gripped onto the handle as he fired, shots ringing through the forest. A few shrieks were heard from the dark trees, but at least they weren’t behind his tail anymore. Well, this is a confusing start. Why was Froggydude running in the dark forest with a bunch of those vampire villagers after him? Long story short, Froggydude was supposed to do this assasination attempt on Grox at his ‘Important’ speech not long ago, but during it, he fired ONE inch away from Grox’s stupid taunt dance he would do to entertain the crowd. What a bitch. BUT– JUST TO ADD THE CHERRY ON TOP? HE SHOT A GUARD. A GUARD! AND now that his stupid followers noticed, he was now on the run. If only Grox moved SLIGHTLY to the right, the bullet would’ve gone through that sucker’s HEAD. Damn— he could still hear that idiot's voice in his head.
“Aight bet!” or whatever that asshole said.
As the footsteps from behind Froggy faded, he started to slow down a bit, his lungs were probably on fire after that whole run! He panted, catching his breath for a moment before he leaned by a large tree trunk beside him. Honestly? After that stupid attempt, he knew that there would be a HUGE bounty over his head + that the king would look out for him. Now he’d have to worry about TWO things. But, luckily there was a whole civilization that also backed Froggydude and his crew up, so he’ll have chances!
SLIM chances.
Since Froggy had a good amount of stamina left, he started to walk, his boots crunching dried leaves and wet grass beneath his feet. The moon was.. More calming at this time. Quiet and peaceful even. But– it was too peaceful to enjoy. Maybe too quiet for Froggy to become suspicious. Though he kept walking, because I mean– who was gonna make him get back? A ghost?
But, after a few hours of walking, Froggydude can see it. The suspiciously placed ‘Grass block (which was just green dyed wool in disguise) beside the hill with a tree next to it. Froggydude would never see the day that he was actually excited to see the base's secret opening. He walked towards the tree, which had a hidden button on the top by the leaves, as the ‘grass block’ opened to reveal a hole with water on the bottom. He checked if anyone was there or around his area, Froggy had no hesitation as he jumped down the hole, the grass block closing in the process.
Down..
Down..
Down..
PLOW!
The loud crash of water was heard from the inside of the civilization as a few villagers gathered. Survivors, to say at least. They gathered by the door as SeawattGaming started to come toward the crowd huddling around the entrance. The villagers slowly parted to give Seawatt some space to come over to check on Froggydude. Nobody really questioned Seawatt’s doings though, they knew he had been through a LOT.
“Hey– Froggydude! Are you there?”
Seawatt called out, as the door swung open to reveal Froggydude, all dirty and bruised up somehow. Seawatt winced at Froggy’s appearance as he walked up to him, grabbing his rifle so he could stand properly.
“Geez– dude are you okay? Did the mission–”
“I don’t even WANT to talk about that mission. I . . I need a rest, man.”
“Oohhh-kay . . ? Take the rest of the day to yourself, cus’ you look like you’ve been through hell back there. I’ll host a meeting tomorrow- so come in early, aight?”
“Thank’s man, and sure. . I guess.”
Froggydude said as he walked back to his humble home with Seawatt carrying his rifle. The villagers didn’t really dare to try and speak with Froggy in this state. Since.. Well.. he looked pissed off.
Once Froggy stepped into his house, Seawatt told Froggydude to just tell him the information later due to his state being so roughed up. Though, as Froggy headed for the beds, he saw Baby Villager sitting by the couch with Homeless, watching a movie. When Baby Villager turned his head around, his eyes lit up as he jumped off the couch and ran to Froggydude to give his daddy a big hug. (cringed writing this btw 😭)
“DADDDYY!!!”
“Baby– Oh.. It’s just you . . And also, hey Homeless.”
“Hey Froggy.“
“Daddy Daddy! How did the mission go? Did you beat Grox??”
“Well.. not really. I missed– and then got chased down.”
“Awhh man..”
“Yeah, but that was the most we’ve ever gotten close to him though. If that fuckin’ bloodsucker would’ve moved an INCH closer, I would’ve killed him with a headshot and not that guard . . .”
“Awhh– well, it’s okay! At least you got close to him!”
“Froggy, Y’know if that was anyone else, they would’ve died by now. Lucky you man!”
“Thank’s Homeless. But guys– I’m gonna be hitting the bunk. You two can stay up or. . go to bed or something.”
“Night, you two.”
Before Baby and Homeless could even continue, Froggy went to the bedroom, slamming the door in the process.
“AUUUGGGHHHGHHHGGHH– HOW DID I LOSE??!!??! DAMN IT! UGH! WHAT THE FU–”
Yeah, uh. Froggydude is not feeling alright.
Baby looked up at Homeless Villager and back at the door, confused but didn’t really try to bother his dad. Homeless on the other hand, seemed suspicious but decided to also hit the bed, sleeping on the couch like he always did. But, Baby Villager stayed with Homeless because– honestly? He seemed slightly hesitant to try and talk to his father. So, he sat by the couch with Homeless, slowly drifting to sleep.

. . .
But sure enough, Froggy couldn’t sleep.
He just couldn’t sleep for the life of him, even if he devoured a jar of those melatonin gummies he had by his bedside, he couldn’t sleep. Not even one drowsy thought. He laid on his back, hands folded, as he just stared up at the ceiling, pondering. Wondering.
‘. . How the fuck do I do this mission now. .’
‘. . Obviously, the next plan wouldn’t work– we’ve built a civilization already! .’
‘. . Shit. Seawatt is gonna be SO pissed if I told him Grox finally caught on to the missions we’ve been doing. Then extra protection and more guards are gonna be around HIM and knowing him– he’s gonna up his game . .’
(‘. . did I even shower???. ‘)
Millions of thoughts surged through Froggydude’s head as he tossed and turned, obviously having something in his mind. Everytime Grox just appeared in his head, he tried to instantly shake it off. He kept thinking back to when Grox was having that stupid smirk when dancing, making fun of the remaining survivors and saying how the ‘vampires would soon be the top population’ blah blah blah. . .
. . The way Grox instantly locked eyes at Froggydude when the guard was instantly shot down by him. The way Grox yelled for his guards to ‘go after him’ when he ran off. The way–
BULLSHIT!
Well, He couldn’t do anything now. All that tossing and turning though made Froggydude slowly drift himself to sleep, as his eyes slowly closed and his body grew limp.
. . Let’s just hope Froggydude wasn’t having a nightmare about today.
