Slappy and I were still asleep until Tommy woke us up. He shoke me awake.

"Joey!" He whispered, "Joey, wake up!" I groaned but opened a eye.

"What is it Tommy?" I asked.

"Someone's here!" He said.

"Who?" I asked moving Slappy's arms off me.

"I heard a noise and woke up." Tommy said.

"It was probably nothing." I said.

"No it was..."

crash!

Both Slappy and My eyes flew open and we stood up. Tommy was right. We heard voices too, voices we didn't want to here.

"Careful what you do!" The leader of the dummy's said angerly, "Do you want them to know we're here?"

"Hey, I didn't see it!" One of them said. A few seconds later Slappy got up and walked towards the door.

"What are you doing?" I whispered.

"Don't worry I have a plan." He smiled and left. I pulled Tommy close to me while listening to what they were saying.

"Well, if it isn't Slappy?" The leader said.

"Where's the girl?" The second one asked.

"She ran off." Slappy said.

"How's she run off?" Mary-Ellen asked.

"I was dragging her here when someone almost spotted us, we hid by the wall and she bit my hand, and she ran off."

"Well, she couldn't have gotten far." The leader said.

"But she can be anywhere." Mary-Ellen said.

"Then we'll just have to search harder." The leader said, "The 'Green Moon' ends in four days and we can't afford to lose her!" Unfortunatly, Tommy didn't see a needle sticking out of the bed and he pricked his finger.

"Ow." He said quietly. I looked at it and saw a small drop trickle down his finger and that was something that wouldn't help us.

"Wait..." One said, "I smell blood." And I saw his shadow come closer. I quickly picked up Tommy and quietly ran into the closet and shut the door. The other one came in. Tommy stuck his finger in his mouth to lick away the blood. He looked around the room sniffing the air. Until all the other dummies came in.

"Danny." The leader said, "There's nothing in here."

"I swear I smell something." The one named Danny said.

"It's probably a wounded animal outside." Slappy subjested, "Coyotes come out here at night."

"That's probably the case." The leader said, "But there's no time to waste! We must keep searching." And they left. After I heard the front door close I opened the door. Slappy sighed in relief.

"You're lucky you went into the closet." He said, "If they caught you, you would be dead."

"Well, lets just be happy that they didn't catch us." I said. We sat on the bed.

"Well, this isn't good." I said braking the silence. Slappy looked at me.

"They're going to be looking even harder now. We can't keep hiding." I sighed.

"What are you saying we do?" Slappy asked.

"Well, we face them." I said simply. They both looked at me.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Tommy asked.

"Well, if we hide we won't be able to help Slappy." I said, "If they see us we'll just have to face them." Slappy and Tommy didn't like the idea but they agreed.

"Alright." Slappy said, "But when do we start?"

"Tomarrow night." I said, "It was going to be risky but it's a risk we'll have to take."
