Chapter 8: Cursed Dream

Flippy was in great trouble. He was driving down the tunnel that connected Obis City and Happy Tree Town, mid-way into the tunnel, his vehicle was been hijacked by Flipkane, E. Flippy and E. Splendid. He was tied by E. Flippy while Flipkane was driving and been forced to seat at the rear of the Humvee, under a shelf full of sharp objects.

"Let me out!" Flippy ordered.

"Oh come on! The fun just begins." E. Flippy said mockingly.

"What should we do to him?" E. Splendid asked.

"I don't know."

Then the Humvee rode over some bumps at the road that caused a wooden stake to have a direct hit on Flippy's head, killing him almost instantly, without Flippy's life force, E. Flippy suddenly died after Flippy was been implanted with a stake.

"Kane, Flippy(s) is dead!" E. Splendid noted to Flipkane.

"Dump them at the road." Flipkane replied.

E. Splendid ripped open the side of the Humvee like it was made of paper and threw Flippy and E. Flippy's body out of the Humvee. Their bodies lied on the road for a few minutes until it was been mashed into bits by a speeding lorry.

Flippy flung open his eyes and got out from his bed, he was dreaming. He looked outside and it was still raining, with thunder roaming in the dark stormy sky. He sighed for 4th time because he had this dream over and over. Just he tried to get his head back on the pillow, he heard a crashing sound and broken steel and bamboo. He got up and saw a hole on the roof, a sky blue squirrel was on the ground, with his wrists been silted.

Flippy yelled at the top of his voice that make General Alana and her servant rushed to Flippy's room with her AK 47.

"What is it?" General Alana asked.

"Look." Flippy said, pointing at Splendid.

"Oh My God, Levy, get the first aid kit and an umbrella."

Her servant went downstairs to get the items that General Alana wanted. Meanwhile General Alana and Flippy helped to pull Splendid to a dry floor. General Alana studied Splendid's wound and tried to stop the bleeding on his wrist. She took a white table cloth nearby and tried around the wound to stop the blood flow but the wound was too deep and the white cloth soon been dyed red.

"What should we do?" Flippy asked.

"Desperate times need desperate measures." General Alana replied.

"What?"

General Alana took the tailor's equipment from the shelf and tried to tie up the artery like a surgeon tried to tie up the wound of a patient, just before she could apply the first DIY stitch, her servant got back from downstairs with the first aid kit on one hand and an umbrella on the other.

"You just come just in time." General Alana said.

She took the first aid kit from her servant's hands and she began to stitch Splendid's wrist.

"That might do the trick." General Alana took a bottle of solvent from the metal box but to her horror, it was empty.

"What is it?" Flippy asked.

"I am running out of iodine." General Alana answered, "I need to buy one."

"I will go."

"The car keys are on the table. Remember, it is only being bought at the Obis City not far from here."

"OK."

Flippy walked down from the stairs, get the keys for General Alana's Humvee. He started it up and headed to the city of Obis which was located a few kilometres from Happy Tree Town. The road was quiet after the rain storm. The road to Obis was dark plus the woods at both sides were creepy.

Flippy tried to calm his mind down but he remember the dream that had keep on repeating itself over and over again, the images of Flipkane, E. Splendid and his own evil side taking over the Humvee while going down the Obis Tunnel. He had a hard time to focus his driving. Don't worry, everything will be alright.

Flippy approached the Obis Tunnel. He stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed of the Humvee. He saw no cars anywhere. That had up his fear of something went wrong. As he travelled deeper and deeper into the tunnel, he saw three shadows at the rear of the Humvee. No, it can't be!

He heard a chilling voice, "Come here boy."

Without warning, a ruby red arm appeared in front of Flippy and dragged him off the driver's seat. He was been pinned by a dark blue flying squirrel and he could fell the cold blade running down his back.

"What is this?" Flippy demanded.
"We are trying to kidnap you of course!" Flipkane laughed.

"What?"

"Evil Flippy, tie him up!"

E. Flippy tied Flippy up with a metal chain and stuffed his mouth with newspaper. After that, he threw Flippy at the rear of the Humvee, under a shelf filled with sharp objects. This is cannot be!

As Flipkane drove to Obis City, Flippy tried to reach out his cell phone and typed a text message to General Alana, but just after he pressed the sent button, he was been spotted by E. Splendid. He took the cell phone off Flippy's hand and vaporised it. Don't try to act stupid!
