Bruh I wanted to put in the meme video of evil cat Twenty-Three  but it doesn't want to put it there so *cri* QwQ.

BUT ANYYYYWAYS, I have the light of writing so I shall do this before the block comes back TvT.

A huge plotline will be exposed, and I am quite excited to write it because it will cause some major major plots. ^w^

××××××××××××××××××××

.: Third Person :.

The Hunter was irritated to the fact that what the trap had caught was the Janitor. He had set him free and the Janitor better decided to head back to do some 'errands' the Lady ordered him to do rather than helping him tracking those children. He, in the other hand, decided to scout the surroundings for the brats.

If only Anklebiter was here...

The Hunter still wondered where that mutt had gone. It wasn't likely of that animal to just run away when he knows when its feeding time. He huffed, those darn children are abusing his oh so little kindess to them. If he ever sees just one of those dolls, he will not show any mercy to them anymore.

Just as the Hunter was about to call off his search and head back to his cabin, he heard nearby footsteps coming behind him. They were light, but was loud enough for him to be aware of. It wasn't also in a tip-toeing manner - whoever this person was didn't choose to hide from him. The Hunter grabbed his rifle slung behind his back and aimed behind him

It was a doll child, smiling at him and not even flinching a bit on the gun aimed at her face. The Hunter scowled when he realized it was the leader of the doll children herself, her literal porcelain skin lightly shimmering from the lamp he carried as her black tinted lips were in an all knowing smirk.

"You," the Hunter said.

Doll Twenty-Three's smile turned into a softer, more friendlier smile rather than the 'I am planning something evil' smirk she had before, "Hello Hunter, how is the hunting?" She asked as she moved herself away from the gun pointed at her and approached him, "No need to point the gun at me, I don't mean to harm you."

'I don't mean to harm you.' She says it as if she could be able to hurt the monster bigger than her. The Hunter scoffed while lowering his gun, "Oh, sorry 'Your Highness'," he said those words with mock, "I would never expect you to come and visit me personally," he said.

Doll Twenty-Three rose her eyebrow and her friendly smile lowered, but she only took a deep breath and gave a closed eyelid smile, "I know what you plan to do with those children of mine, Hunter. If you don't want me snitching you to the Broadcaster it would be better if you lower your inflating ego."

This little bitch.

The Hunter's hand gripped on the rifle tighter. How could his own boss ever trust a tiny child over him, his most loyal follower? All he did for years was follow his orders, sure he might have got wild in hunting the children two years ago and lost his eye in a small mistake, but he proved himself worthy! How could this one curse put him second in line?

With gritted teeth, he scowled at the doll child, "What do you want?"

Doll Twenty-Three grinned, sensing the Hunter's sudden change of tone, knowing how irritated he must be feeling inside. "Well, I want you to do something for me, a little favor," she said while rocking back in forth on the balls of her feet, her head tilting a bit in a childish manner, "I could also tell the great things you've done as well. Not like letting the children go so many times, planned to kill my followers, and how dull your tracking senses are without your trusty pooch around. My, if I told the Broadcaster about this he wouldn't trust you that much anymore!"

The Hunter wanted to kill that little peice of china right there and now, but he knew that she could just regenerate. He swore that Pretender was better than this demon.

"Just tell me what it is."

"Well, it might be a burden. With a lot going on in your plate, and with your dog lost, it might be hard for a disabled man like you," Doll Twenty-Three said while placing her hand on her cheek.

"It won't be," the Hunter said.

Doll Twenty-Three beamed, smiling while placing her hands behind her back, "Splendid! Now you've been told to bring those children to the Tower, right? Well, you don't need to take one of them. Kill them."

The Hunter's eye widened. She was asking him this?

"But I thought...-"

"I told the Broadcaster about it, he is alright with it. With the other one stuck in the Hospital with her mind too messed and crazy to focus on things, she can die anyday now. I do not need Real Life Twenty-Three's life force, I am strong enough that I never felt that other Twenty-Three's scars and pains. If they both die and I survive, I can be free from the curse. So you can kill her," Doll Twenty-Three intterupted, her face serious with a knowing evil in them.

The Hunter thought about it. He didn't really remember much on how that Joker made his dolls, it was too complex for anyone to know. But if those girls die, that means this doll demon won't have any regenerating powers, and he could kill her if she won't die as well. It was a win-win.

The Hunter slung his rifle on his back. "Consider it done."

Doll Twenty-Three grinned, "Great! I feel like I would want to tell you their whereabouts, but could you handle on your own?"

The Hunter crossed his arms, "Just tell me," he said. Doll Twenty-Three nodded, closing her eyes before opening and looking at him, "They're in a bunny burrow. The closest place there would be the rundown cabin near the swamp."

"What about those three?"

Doll Twenty-Three shrugged, "Kill them as well, bring them to the Tower; Do whatever you like, I don't care about them. The Broadcaster doesn't as well. I mean, he did only want them captured so they wouldn't keep messing with the plan," she said while looking down on her arm, a light crack traced on the porcelain skin, "I should go back. I will know when you've done it, and I promise you that the Broadcaster will hear that good news and may trust you better," she said before disappearing into the shadows.

The Hunter huffed through his nose, before turning back to the small trail of the Forest, heading to the that rundown cabin.

Kill the children, well that was easier than capturing them.

==================

.: Seven's P.o.V. :.

Seven slid down into the burrow, it was dark, so naturally he couldn't see where he was going and stumbled to the ground. Groaning lightly, he pushed himself up while dusting off the dirt and opened his flashlight. He directed the light back to the hole, which helped Twenty-Three slid down gracefully, followed by Mono and Six.

"Great you guys didn't have to stumble down to the ground," Seven mumbled. Twenty-Three and Six snickered, "Yeah sure you clumsy oaf," Six said while winking at him, which caused a light giggle from Twenty-Three.

Mono huffed, "Okay before you guys start flirting or something, shouldn't we get going?" He asked. Six nodded, "Of course, but there should be sometime for flirting am I right, TT?" She turned to her.

"Hm? I guess so, it's not like I have to flirt anyone," Twenty-Three shrugged, Mono just turned to look at her for a moment and she twirled a strand of hair while poking out her tongue, which was veeeeeery suspish. The three started to walk deeper into the burrow, they had some small talk as Seven thought about what Mono said, "Wait, where should we even go to now?" He asked while looking back at the three.

"Well, I mean I have a map, so I guess we follow that?" Six said.

"What map?" Mono asked.

"We got a map from the Nomes - long story that lead to another story - they told us about this key and came with a code, we figured out it must be to unlock a collar back in that brokendown shed," Six explained.

Twenty-Three paused, "A broken down shed?"

"Yeah, there was lots of doll carnage and a broken down cabin. There was this trapdoor which lead us to an underground cell and was crawling with shadow children, they pushed us in a TV and brought us to the feild near the Hunter's cabin," Six said.

Twenty-Three paled a bit and looked at Mono, "Isn't that... that place where we saw the monster?..." she asked him.

"What monster?" It was now Six's time to asked.

"We went to a storage cabin, there was an underground cellar and we saw a monster that looked excatly like-" Twenty-Three paused, hesitant to continue, "The Janitor. I-I didn't get to see much, but seeing the Janitor a while ago, I knew it wasn't him... It was someone else."

Even from here Seven could feel that it wasn't it. Let's face it, Twenty-Three isn't the greatest lair. But no matter how bad at lying she was, they couldn't pry whatever she had in mind either.

Six also seemed to be unconviced about it, taking the way the other girl had paused about it, hesitant to go on.

"Anyways," Twenty-Three continued, "This monster had a collar around their neck, and from what we heard from those doll kids that came to check on them, this device could make the monster follow their orders. We left before we got trapped in that cellar, but we got caught so we had to leave the hard way - with some doll children killed and a wall broken and also the entrance of the cabin torn down."

"Wait, so all we saw before was caused by you guys?" Six said while pointing at them.

Mono shrugged, "I guess so. There isn't other cabins like that one there right?"

"So you two saw the monster... and we uncovered some more stuff about that monster," Six mumbled. Seven smiled while turning to her, "And my theory is right about those collars."

"And what is it about?" Mono asked.

"Y'see, the Nomes gave us a key and a code to open one of those collars that explode," he fished out the key and the folded peice of paper to the two, "I think they want us to set that monster you saw free," Seven said. Twenty-Three seemed to be in shock, "Would you really... want that? That monster attacked m- us, who knows it would try to kill us when we set it free!" She said.

"I trust the Nomes' and they trust me for some reason. I think that monster would help us," Seven said, "And maybe because it had that collar around their neck, they had to attack you before they themselves die."

Twenty-Three frowned, looking away from them. Her face contorted in a tight frown. There was a light silence in the air until Six cleared it off, "Well, we'll see if the Nomes judgement is right when we see that monster face to face. Right now, let's just head out this burrow."

The rest agreed, Six nodded while walking beside Seven. He slightly turned back to see Twenty-Three fiddling with a key, while Mono was looking at her with that aura Seven knew so well - worry. They made it out, and reached to another feild, he looked around to see if the Hunter was nearby, and he wasn't. So far, so good.

"What do you think, Sev?" Six asked, Seven looked at her, "About what?"

"If what you think is right Sev... And seeing how TT reacted being the one who saw that monster. Do you think that is this what the Nomes were telling us to do? To help us get back to our world?" She asked.

"All the evidences leads to it. It must've been someone close to the Nomes. I really think this 'monster' will help us, that's what I believe," Seven said. Six nodded, turning back to the two behind them minding their own business before walking on straight ahead.

"That's what I hope so too," Six mumbled.

The group kept walking until there was a bridge seen straight ahead. Seven kept walking until he stopped to see that the bridge's rope was cut. Six peeked down and whistled, "That's one steep drop."

Seven turned to see that Mono was looking around and noticed a loose rope, he picked it up and pulled it, causing the fallen planks of the bridge to rise up and make it closer to the other side, the two quickly stepped back.

"Hurry, I can't hold this any longer," Mono grunted while trying to keep it steady. Twenty-Three wasted no time and ran, quickly hopping to the other side with ease. Six followed next and so did Seven. Mono lets go of the rope and the planks fell down.

Twenty-Three walked up to the edge, "Jump, we'll catch you," she said while reaching out her hand. Mono nodded while walking back and running to the end, leaping off the edge and Twenty-Three quickly grabbed onto his hand, Seven crouched down as well and helped her pull him up.

Mono huffed, "Thanks," he said.

"No problemo bro," Seven said while doing a thumbs up. Twenty-Three gave him a smile and a quick nod and Mono looked away bashfully. Seven rose both of his eyebrows while smiling oddly, Six snorted from his face.

Twenty-Three blinked when she looked at his face, "What the hell is that face?" She asked and Seven shrugged, "Nothing," he said while walking away.

And they continued on.
