Picture Day (Inanimate Insanity AU)

No Point In Running

Taco stared at him for a bit.

"Suit yourself." Taco said, before walking away.

Once Taco was completely out of sight, Nickel stood up and ran in the direction Balloon went.

He wasn't about to let them get caught again, and he wasn't about to leave them out there alone, especially after the trauma they had been through.

All he had to do was find them.

Fan's POV:

I didn't know where I was running to, all I knew was that I wanted to get away from there

Was Test Tube really dead? I didnt want to believe it.

But what if it was true? Then what?

Theres nothing I could do about it anyway.

Eventually I ended up at the school. I dont know why I went there, but I did.

All kinds of horrible memories flooded my mind.

I glanced around and noticed something out of the corner of my eye.

Upon closer observation, I could see the dirt and rocks stained green, small shards of glass surrounding the area.

I stood there for a moment confused before realizing.

I almost threw up and I burst into tears, taking a few steps back.

"Test Tube..."

I looked away, I couldn't bear to look at the scene.

I rushed closer to the school and sat on some steps that were in front of a door, and just cried.

Why am I still going? What is the point? So many of my friends were killed because they came looking for me. If I hadn't showed up none of this would have happened.

I put my face in my hands.

"I'm sorry..." I unintentionally said out loud.

I sighed and wiped my eyes, then stood up.

I should go find Balloon. He's probably worried about me.

I began walking and ended up in an alleyway. It was dark and honestly, a bit unsettling.

Then I heard something behind me.

I froze, hoping whatever it was wouldn't see me.

It's Cobs isnt it.

I tried my best to stay calm and made up my mind to just run for it.

After a bit of standing there, I sprinted as fast as I could to get out of there.

I was just about to exit the alleyway when suddenly I was tackled from behind.

I let out a scream and at first, I though I had been caught by Cobs, but then the thing that tackled me spoke.

"Who are you and why are you here?!" The person snapped.

They had a sort of accent and sounded angry.

"I-I'm Fan I'm sorry I didn't know you were here I swear!" I studdered, shaking uncontrollably.

The person was silent for a moment before jumping off.

Their mood change was very sudden. They seemed very bubbly and bouncy.

I stood up, brushing myself off.
