Against Her Programming [SHELLVISION]

Wait, Please [7]

 Tisha stepped closer, observing Shelly's injuries, "Oh, good plan," she paused, "Keep her here, if you can't find a kit nearby I'll find one further back," she murmured. Without the bitterness in Tisha's tone, she seemed dead serious;  it kind of perplexed Vee. That wasn't her biggest concern though, bringing Shelly behind a counter near the elevator. She glanced back to find Tisha, who couldn't be seen as she had already rushed to find something to help. Glimpsing back at the elevator, there wasn't any turning back as it slammed shut, leaving her to commit to Shelly. 
 Well, she had Shelly, a relatively hidden spot, and the dreadful music that accompanied them. 

 Speaking of Shelly, Vee figured she'd be better lying comfortably than held awkwardly by a robot. Glancing at the desk, she found a jacket, one of a human's; it's slightly bigger than the toons, but it'd have to do for a makeshift bed. Without dropping Shelly, she shifted her hands to grab that jacket and kick it to the corner of the counter. After she adjusted it to fit Shelly, Vee lowered herself carefully, placing Shelly in the nest of a jacket. 

 Once she put Shelly on the floor, she pulled away. Maybe there was more she could do, she shouldn't waste her time letting it slip by. Observing her surroundings nearby, there wasn't anything of immediate use, but maybe.. 

 Grabbing the plushie off the counter, it was one of those ugly, god-awful Dandy plushies. Vee scoffed quietly, but after she squished it in her hand, she knew it'd be a better pillow than a toy. She turned back to Shelly, slowly lifting her head to put the softer plushie underneath. Vee drew her hand back to herself, leaning over Shelly once again. Looking at the crack in her shell, it started to slightly leak, and Vee quietly hoped that Tisha would show up soon. Looking to the side, there wasn't anything to wipe it off with, and she wasn't too sure about using that jacket. 

 She figured that while they'd wait for Tisha, she could at least look for something to help. It was a large hallway, unlikely that they'd have anything, although there was another room nearby with a counter and possibly a towel, or napkins, something! She couldn't help but note the tune playing in the background, finding it eerie. Although, she disregarded it as she started to approach it, cautious not to leave Shelly for too long. In a few seconds, Vee approached the register, leaning upwards on her tippy-toes to see anything. To her surprise, there were some paper towels, which she quickly snagged. 

 The distorted music box from earlier seemed to play even louder, leaving a sinking feeling set inside Vee. Brushing it off, she started to make her way back to where Shelly was nestled. Wouldn't be long, especially when she didn't go far; only took her a few seconds to get to the large hallway. Vee clenched the paper towels, thankful that she wouldn't have further to go. Just as the counter came into view, Vee froze in place. 

 What was this?

 One of those zombified monsters, it had to be. It walked almost catlike, predatory. No, this wasn't any other 'zombie,' far too massive, too aware. Massive, too, would probably crush anyone with a hefty swing. It was looking for something to force into its twisted game, a helpless prey. And the worst part, it was heading right where Shelly was - there's no way she'd wake up to react, she'd die. 

 Vee's stance froze, for the first time, she could say she was genuinely terrified. Shaking in place, she couldn't bring herself to rush to Shelly, to call for help, anything. But it wasn't going to stop anytime soon, she had to do something to save the poor girl. It could probably sniff her out, directly lurking towards the counter. 

 Against her senses, Vee immediately screamed, "GET AWAY FROM HER!!" 

 That  thing  veered its nasty head around, glowering at Vee with a snarl. It then pivoted, ready to charge Vee at any given moment. Vee could pick out that hateful gaze from anywhere, Dandy; and he was a ginormous monster ready to rip her head off. Taking a step back, it triggered that kill drive within Dandy, charging at Vee.
