Chapter 11 the horrifying truth...
Flaky the porcupine, was sitting in her gazebo, looking down at a candy cane that she bought at the store and and shaded a tear a little, she might feel uncomfortable around Nutty, but he isn't a bad person at heart... all she knew was that the cage broke and Sniffles told her he was gonna look for his body down there...but what else could she know...?! That the fall killed the squirrel?! That the squirrel died later of various other circumstances? That...Nutty is still alive down there...at least..she could know if this was the first time this has happened...
She went on her phone and went to google and searched the invention's name up, she found articles stating the info and what the cage does but so far nothing about the cage going wrong...but she had noticed a mention of the depths of vanity which was the third layer down...why would Sniffles ask his boyfriend (yes I ship Nutty and sniffles FIGHT ME) to test out a experiment where he can be traumatized by a scary fish that looks like a frosty treat?! She then found the article she was looking for...all the moments the dream cage went wrong...
The article was written 3 years prior to when Nutty was its next victim...stated that most scientists ignored warnings about the faculties of the dream cage several times until some day a yellow rabbit and lavender beaver stumbled upon the cage and went in it and had fallen down the broken cage... scientists brushed it off as "two tree friends aren't allowed to be in the cage at the same time." A picture was shown at the bottom of the article...it was a picture of...Cuddles and Toothy...this explains why they were missing for a long time now...! Flaky realized what's happening...this cage is a killing machine...and if toothy and cuddles were missing for a while now...they would have died...Flaky was gonna sue the scientists for making the cage in the first place...and for the deaths of her friends...
But what now...? She isn't going to the courtroom until next week...
Flaky stood up looking at the candy cane and then looked at a nearby beaker on the table then grabbed a bottle of water and dumped it in the beaker and crushed up the candy cane and puts the crumbs in them... after mixing them together she found out...it was a sign...but what does it mean...? Are her friends still alive...? Are they in trouble?! She wasn't waiting to find out...getting enough courage inside her, she got into her car and started to drive to Sniffles' house
Once she was there, she snuck out of her car and tried to find a way in without being caught by some of sniffles' robot security...The door was opened for some reason. She grabbed a flashlight and crept in the house was dark...she turned on the flashlight looking around for the room where the dream cage was kept at...she felt her face turn pale and her flakes on her quills falling out of her quills as she looked through each door seeing what she thought were...torturing devices... before she could get to where the dream cage is however she saw a dark figure go into the room... adjacent to it she held her breath and turned off her flashlight hoping she wouldn't get kicked out by robot security...
"They say put on a happy face...cause we're tick tock tick tock...ticking like a time bomb!" a sharp chill went down Flaky's spine hearing the voice...it was like a uncanny valley of voices..she peaked into the room to see who was singing and found herself looking at the Flippy-like nightmangel he seemed to be crouching down viewing the unconscious bodies of Nutty and Sniffles...she quickly hid behind a wall covering her mouth...with a shaky hand to keep herself quiet...
"hey! Put on a happy face! Then everything's okay! Put on a happy face... hey! Put on a happy face! Then everything's okay! Put on a happy face..." Ritual stood up and went straight and went to check the outside of the door...the porcupine panicked when she ended up making eye contact with Ritual...the nightmangel grabbed her wrist and turned on the flashlight, shining it on both of their faces and glaring Flaky down...
"Keep this between us...or else you'll end up like the lavender beaver..." Ritual threatened... "do you understand...?"
Flaky let out a horrified scream before running out of Sniffles' house, leaving a trail of flakes on the way out...however, she had no choice but to oblige to what the nightmangel said...if she had any hope of seeing Nutty, Sniffles, Cuddles or possibly Toothy again...
