On the flip side~ Strictly Professional Sequel~ Onceler x Reader

~CHPTR 20 can you remember the rain~

"Okay then, I'd say we are done here. You've passed! Can you start next week?"

"Oh! Yes of course" He smiled. You passed him some contracts to look at. He thanked you and left.

You thought back on what he had said, Thneedville. You decided that you would do some research.
---

You spent the rest of the day researching, what you found was quite interesting. Unbeknownst to you, before Onceler had been arrested, he had created blue prints for a small town outside Greenville. After the company shut down, a man named O'hare had found the blueprints in the abandoned factory.

Apparently this 'Ohare was quite the fan of Onceler. Actually, thats an understatement. From what you could see, everyone that lived in Thneedville was some sort of cult follower of Onceler.

You didn't know how you hadn't heard of Thneedville before, since it was your ex-husbands creation. You decided you would pay the town a visit after work.

"See ya tomorrow Y/N" Sam waved, you waved back.

Thneedville wasn't on the map, as it had a population of just over 100. You could figure out where it was though, after driving around for a bit. You saw a brightly lit entrance, a wide gate with two burly guards outside. You drove up to it, one of the guards
walking up to the car.

"Proof of residence?" He asked you.

"Oh. Uhm I don't live here."

"No residence, no entry" He started walking off, you furrowed your brows.

"Wait! I'm Oncelers ex-wife" You shouted to him. He turned around, picking up a radio and talking into it. He started walking up to you, nodding to the other guard.

The gates opened slowly, you drove through the entrance.

The town was in one word, plastic. The trees were fake, the grass was fake. Everything was fake. It was like something out of a comic, nothing was real.

As well as this, the residents all looked at you from their windows, as if you were an alien. This was creepy.

You drove down the street, taking in your strange surroundings. You found a car park, pulling in so you could get a closer look of this strange town.

You walked through the town, finding the town square. You looked around, something was very odd. Everything was Thneed themed. Shops, cars, even restaurants. This town seemed to be a Onceler cult. You were completely baffled.

You saw a car speed down the street, abruptly stopping infront of you. A small man jumped out the car, briskly walking towards you.

"Are you, Y/N L/N?" The man said breathlessly. He was dressed in a grey suit, too large for him.

"Uh, yes. And you are?"

"I'm O'Hare. I can't believe you're here!" He seemed overly excited by your presence, kinda creepy you thought.

"You're O'hare? I read about this town. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course! Would you like something to eat?" He asked. You nodded, eager to learn more about this strange town.

The more he told you, the more you were creeped out. Apparently the entire town were obsessed with Onceler and the thneed. The town was built a couple years after Onceler went to prison. From what you could tell, it was basically a cult.

"Can I ask you something?" O'hare asked you. You nodded .

"What was it like to, live with him?"

"What?!" You're suspicions were confirmed, it was definitely some sort of cult.

"I mean-"

"No. Sorry, I'm leaving. This is too weird." You got up to leave, but he grabbed your wrist.

"Do you know how privileged you are to have his child?" He started getting angry. You ripped your arm from his grasp, walking back to your car briskly.

Thanfully, the gates opened when you drove up to them. You couldn't stand a second longer in this weird town. It was just too strange.

You drove back home, completely weirded out with your findings. You wished you never found out about it.

"Pippa! Dinner's ready!" You shouted, plating up the food. You heard her door swing open, along with a sigh. She sat down, not taking her eyes off her phone.

"Here ya go" You passed her the plate, she didn't even spare you a glance.

"No phones when eating Pip" You warned, she huffed and put it down. You sat down opposite her.

"Soo. What you been doing?" You asked, she looked irritated at your words.

"Why?"

"I'm just wondering."

"Fine."

"Ooookay!" You gave up on conversation, seeing she wasn't in the mood for a chat.

You were interrupted from your dinner by a knock at the door. You got up to answer, grabbing your walking stick on the way. You opened the door to see Oliver out of breath. He walked in, quickly saying hello to the both of you.

"Yo dude" Pippa said absentmindedly.

"Why are you out of breath Oliver?" You asked, noticing his exasperated expression.

"Onceler. He's getting out"

I FINALLY UPDATED!!! Since I haven't updated in a hot minute, I hope this was enough to make up for it :). Thanks!
