the beast of happy tree town

Chapter Four- The new shit

A week had passed since Flippy had beat up Spence and he'd been avoiding everyone, including Cuddles. The blonde teen had made several attempts to corner his bff and address the fact that something seriously fucked up was happening to the Greenette, but Flippy managed to slip away every time. It worried Cuddles greatly.

His avoidance of everyone seemed to worry Flaky and Mime too, Flaky more so. The Blonde haired teen was constantly staring after his super best friend as he slunk away to be alone, wistfully sighing. It was worrying that the three people closest to him were the ones Flippy was avoiding the most.

Cuddles watched as his Best friend began the long walk home, veering off toward the woods to avoid being followed. He looked over at Flaky and Mime, who were walking home with him in hopes of getting a chance to talk to Flippy.

"So…do we go straight to the house and wait for him, or follow him now?", He asked, looking at Flippys retreating form.

Flaky sighed. "I'd say we go wait for him. Following him around hasn't done us any good so far."

Mime nodded. ("He always manages to slip away.")

"He wasn't like this before…", Cuddles whispered to himself as they started the long walk to his house.

Unfortunately Mime heard, turning to look at him, eyes narrowed. ("Before what?")

Cuddles gulped, remembering his promise to Flippy. He had promised not to tell anyone. The two of them could deal with it. Except, he was starting to doubt that. Flippy was acting crazy, going punk, beating up Cartman, arguing with their dad. Flippy was changing and Cuddles didn't know what to do. Flippy didn't seem to care at all about what was happening to him. Cuddles couldn't handle it.

He sighed, resolve firm and stopped walking to face them. "Before we were attacked…b-by the Beast ."

Flaky turned eyes wide, Mime mirroring her expression of shock . "What? What the hell-when?"

Cuddles looked down at the sidewalk, tears in his eyes. "That night when we went out to the park to finish up my art project. We were almost done when he cut his arm…and then we heard it growling. It attacked him. Dragged him off into the woods, and I followed it, grabbed my camera. When I found it, in this clearing, it was mauling him and there was blood everywhere. I was scared so…", he paused, tears slipping down his cheeks, the trauma of the attack coming back full force. "I thought I was gonna lose him so I-I hit it. The camera went off and I guess it confused it, cause it was stumbling around. So I helped him up and we-we ran. We ran to the highway…it following us…then, Flaky hit it with her car." He looked at Flaky. "We didn't know it was you until you said so the next day. We just kept running until we got home and he collapsed. I bandaged him up and he made me promise not to tell anyone. Said he was fine…"

Mime frowned, moving forward. ("What about the wound? He seemed fine the next morning.")

Flaky nodded. "Yeah. I didn't see any wound or anything."

cuddles took a deep breath, urging himself to tell them. 'You've told them this much. Might as well tell 'em the rest', he thought. "I-It healed."

Flaky rolled her eyes, groaning with exasperation and sharing a look with mime. "Healed? cuddles if this is some kind of joke-"

cuddles growled, giving him a look of rage and pointing to his face. "Do I fuckin look like I'm joking?" , he let out a soft sob. "I wouldn't believe it either if I hadn't been there-Hadn't seen it-myself."

("Dude, chill. He wasn't trying to be an ass"), Mme said quickly, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Flaky nodded. "Yeah. It's just kinda hard to believe without proof."

cuddles sighed and started walking again, Flaky and Mime following. "You need proof? I got a picture of it when I hit it with my camera. It's on my computer at home. I'll show you when we get there."

When they arrived at the house they found the door unlocked and open, Flippy's things pilled haphazardly in the entry as if he'd simply thrown them there in a rush. Walking inside they felt their hearts freeze. A trail of blood droplets led from the open door up the stairs and to the bathroom, the door cracked open slightly.

"You guys stay here.", cuddles said softly, staring down at the thick red tainting the otherwise clean floor. "I'll go check it out."

"But-", They started.

cuddles turned sharply, shaking his head. "No. Stay here."

They nodded, watching as he slowly made his way up the stairs, the sound of somebody coughing and retching becoming clear as he got closer. He reached out slowly, pushing the door lightly with his hand, a feeling of foreboding overcoming him.

"Flips…you okay?"

He heard a raspy cough and slight sobs.

"Flippy…?"

With a surer push he pushed open the bathroom door and saw something he would never forget. Flippy was bent over the toilet, blood dripping down his chin and pooling around him, his eyes glazed and yellow. As soon as the door was opened he snarled, angry tears slipping down his cheeks before breaking down in tears.

cuddles moved to his Friends side, putting a hand on his shoulder, eyes wide. "Ky…what happened?"

flippy sobbed. "I-I killed him…"

cuddles froze. "W-What? Who?"

"Mrs. Pickett's dog, Tofu…", Flippy choked, eyes wide. "I was walking home and he-he wouldn't shut up! He just kept barking and barking…s-so…I killed him…snapped his neck…and…", he sobbed louder, blood slipping from his mouth down his chin. "ate him!"

cuddles choked, bile rising in his throat. "You…Oh god, Flips…I-Hold on!"

He moved to the door looking down at Mime and Flaky, eyes wide, and motioned to them. "Close the door and get up here…I-I need some help…"

Sharing a concerned glance both teens nodded, closing the door and rushing up stairs. When they entered the bathroom they felt much like cuddles had. Horrified and concerned. Flippy was once again bent over the toilet, vomiting harshly, blood splattering the porcelain toilet.

Flaky was the first of the two to recover from the shock, moving forward. "Flippy…?"

She rushed forward, helping to keep Flippy's hair out of his face and motioned to Mime to help. The french mute teen nodded, coming out of his shock and moved to his friend's side, turning to cuddles.

("What happened?")

The younger teen took a deep breath, gulping. "H-He…"

Flippy looked up, giving a dazed hysterical smile, blood dripping down his chin. "I ate a dog…", He let out a sob. "a fuckin' dog…"

"Oh my god…", Flaky muttered, looking over at cuddles. "What do we do?"

cuddles frowned, looking around the bathroom, eyes falling on his friend. "You guys get him to his room…I-I'll clean up the blood…"

They nodded, helping Flippy up and letting him lean on them, blood getting all over their clothes. They quickly made their way to his room, laying him on the bed, Flaky putting a hand on his forehead.

"Shit! He's burning up!"

mime moved to the door. ("I'll get some ice. Watch him!")

Nodding, the red haired teen leaned down, looking into her secret crush's eyes, concern clear in her own clear blue eyes.

"You're gonna be okay Flips. J-Just hold on."

flippy glanced up, eyes burning an unnatural yellow, though Flaky didn't seem to notice. "S-so…cuddles told you then…?"

Flaky nodded softly, running a hand trough the greenheads hair, not noticing the few hairs that had turned white. "Yeah…he told us.", she sighed. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"

Flippy chuckled weakly. "I was fine. Didn't want to worry anyone.", he bit back a moan, clutching at his stomach. "W-What's wrong with me…?"

Flaky shook her head. "I don't know dude…, but we'll find out."

("I got the ice! Here!"), Mime said quickly, handing Flaky a washrag full of ice.

The red haired teen laid it on her crushes head, giving Mime a concerned glance. They were both beginning to understand that whatever was going on was definitely not normal. Something awful was happening to Mime.

"How's cuddles doing with the blood?", Flaky asked, looking towards the door.

cuddles walked in, face pale. "I-I'm done…", he looked over at his friend who had slipped into a deep sleep seconds earlier and sighed. "C'mon l-let's let him sleep…"

Mime and Flaky nodded, following the younger teen out of the room, Flaky throwing concerned glances back at Flippy's bloody and unconscious form. They followed cuddles to his room, carefully watching as the small blonde teen booted up his computer and found the picture of the beast that had attacked him and his Friend.

"This is it. T-The thing that attacked us.", he said softly, gesturing to the picture and falling gracelessly into his chair. "You believe me now, right?"

Flaky snorted hysterically, eyes full of panic. "I started to believe you when I saw Flippy vomiting blood.", she paused, taking in a shaky breath. "H-He ate a dog.", she looked to the side. "What the fuck's going on?"

Mime put a hand on her shoulder in an effort to calm him down. ("Calm down dude. We have to stay calm."), he looked at the other two teens. ("What do we know so far?")

cuddles sighed shakily. "Ummm…A monster mauled my bff and now he's gone Commando and eaten a dog."

"Yeah, I'm still not-", Stan started, only to be cut off by Kenny.

("Werewolf.")

Flaky and cuddles froze, looking questioningly at Mime. "Ah…what?"

The french teen groaned, rolling his eyes. (" That thing is a werewolf…or at least…I think it is. Fit's the horror movie description.")

"But werewolves aren't real dude.", cuddles said quickly.

Mime smirked. ("They said the same thing about Manbearpig, remember?") (A/N hahah south parks manbearpig I coudnt resist)

cuddles nodded, turning to Flaky. "He has a point. Besides…it would explain a few things."

The red haired teen moved to say something, but stopped, agreeing with him. "You're right." Pause. " So what do we do?"
