Smiling Critters STILL continues on...

The time was coming faster and faster. The Prototype felt it coming and it seemed that there would be bloodshed, lots and lots of bloodshed. Killy Willy, and the Lynx twins had already went into hiding and waiting with the others who had been down there for so long, abandoned and rotting away. The Prototype would save them all... he wouldn't fail them, not again.

Bobby, Crafty, Bubba, and Picky were all together, they didn't dare leave their hiding place in fear something would happen to them like how Catnap had attacked Hoppy and Kickin'. "What do you think is going to happen?" asked Picky as she slowly ate a granola bar. "I don't know... but it's really quiet" Bubba said as he tried to listen in on the smallest noises that were going around in the factory. "Everything must be turned off right now" he said as he looks back at the girls. They all seem scared but he wouldn't let them be hurt. Bubba felt nervous but he knew that if he shown fear the others wouldn't have anyone to turn towards when things end up getting worse for them. "I think we should find the others" he said after a few moments, and that caught Picky, Crafty, and Bobby's attention. "How do we know that Catnap hasn't killed them already?" whimpers Bobby as she hugs herself Crafty and Picky both nod in agreement but Bubba didn't think that Hoppy and Kickin' were really dead "I don't think they're really dead guys, if anything Catnap just... well hm..." Bubba seemed to be thinking of something. "What do we know about predators?" he asks looking towards the girls "well... they like to hunt" Picky said as she looks at the ground, Bubba nods "a-and they often eat meat" said Crafty in a nervous voice causing Bubba a bit of concern but he nodded again. "Predators sometimes like to play with their food... or at least before they kill them..." Bobby whispers the last part but everyone heard her as they go silent. "Do you think Catnap is the same way?" asked Bobby looking towards Bubba who nods. "It's very possible... that they aren't dead, Catnap could just be holding them hostage until the time he really needs...." Bubba couldn't finish that sentence but they all got the message. "I really hope that you're right about them being alive..." Picky said as she stood up a bit and stretched her limbs "I'm afraid to go out there but-" Picky didn't get to finish her sentence as a screech was heard... followed by screams of children and adults. Bubba, Picky, Crafty, and Bobby all peak out of their hiding place and to their horror... people are dying left and right. "W-Wait how-how... what's going on?!" asked Bobby looking at the chaos unfold in front of them. "This... this is what we were warned about..." Bubba said in a small whisper. "The Hour Of Joy is beginning..." he whispers.
