Protect your strings at all costs!
If only it were easy!
You weren't very good at protecting yourself from the stringless, or any other brainless beast.
They're constantly coming when you are down.
Sometimes you can't even seem them coming they're so quiet, and you're constantly on your toes.
Hiding is your best option.
But when you can't hide its always luck that gets you out of there.

Just like now.
Surrounded by aracknits.
Crawling around you. Plucking at your strings as you cowered.

Bang!
A loud noise of a gun could be heard, which startled you, but it mostly scared the beasts, so much so, they scurried off.

You dared not to move from your spot.
Not for a second, not even to look up.
You were even more frightened.
But the sound of pine footsteps kind of reassured you to at least take a peek.

When you did a male puppet, was leaning down to your level and had a hand out to help you up.
You cautiously took his hand.
"Um..thank you f-for saving me." You stuttered, he slightly tipped his hat to you in a 'don't mention it' gesture.

He then held out his arm for you to take it as he led you down the path to Doc Carver, to get those strings mended.
You gladly took it and held on tight.
