Chapter 6: The Bear With Scissors

When we entered the destroyed, abandoned, and dark mall, it was very quiet. Ryan was a little scared, but Ava told him to stay close to her. "Alright, you guys ready?!" pillow said, excited. "Shhh! Let's just get this over with." I whispered.

"3...2...1...Go!"

Ava, ryan, and I started to look everywhere. Even in the darkest part of the mall. "Cool! Comics!" ryan quickly said, picking up a comic book. "*gasp!* Attack On Titan manga! I've always wanted to read this, can I keep it, sis? Can I?" ryan asked, begging. "No, we have to-" ava said, shaking her head. Ryan gave her his adorable puppy face expression. Ava groaned, "Fine..." Ryan hugged his sister, then the comic book. I smiled as I remembered that I used to do that to my mother. Then, there was one place that we haven't checked, the Furniture Store. I gulped, "Come on you guys." I said, leading the way. Ryan, using his blue glowing stick as light, was reading his comic book. Then, my foot ran into something hard and cold. "FFFFFFFFFFffffffffff...fudge." I said in pain. "What's wrong?" ava asked. I jumped on one foot while holding the other. "I ran into something! DAMN IT!" I yelled. I looked down and saw the box. "Is this...pillow's box?" ryan asked. I picked it up and smelled it. "Yep...it's pillow's." I said, smiling. "How can you tell?" Ava asked. "Because," I said opening the box.

"This is Pillow's Video Game. He hid it in a small pizza box."

"Figures..."

I gave the box to ava. "Here, you give this to pillow, I'm just going to...look around for some weapons." I said. "Uh, sure? Oh! Here," ava said, giving the box to ryan and gave me a pack of red eye contacts. "Just in case you run into those infected people! Just because the gates surrounds the town doesn't mean that we're safe." ava added. I looked at the pack of red eye contacts, then back at ava. I wanted to kiss this light pink fox so badly, but I know she's not interested in me. We're only friends. "Thank you." I said, gratefully. Ava smiled as she and ryan went back to pillow with the box. I started to look around for weapons, but I couldn't find any.

C'mon! This is a furniture store! There has to be weapons somewhe-

*Snip!*

"Hm?"

*Snip!*

"What the heck is that?"

*Snip!*

I started hearing...snipping noises. Odd, I don't see anyone. I started to ignore the snipping noise, but each time I heard it, it sounded really, really, really close. I slowly turned around, and saw him. An adult gray bear, covered in blood stains, wears a white lab coat, and was holding large scissors. I almost screamed, quickly backing away as I ran into the wall. I didn't say anything to him. I couldn't see his eyes either because they were covered in goggles. He started to walk towards me, scissors opening and closing. "Wh-what the heck do you want from me!? WHAT!?" I yelled, trembling. The bear pointed the scissors directly in front of my heart, like he was aiming to get in that spot. I yelled as the scissor man tried to stab me in my heart. I held onto the scissors, the blades cutting my fingers. I started to scream for help, screamed for pillow, ava, and ryan. Then, I used my leg to kick the scissor man off me. I started running, then I heard snipping sounds from behind me. I turned around and moved out of the way.

*Shing!*

I gasped as the large scissors hit my necklace. I gasped, looking to see the scissor man walking to me. I had trouble taking off my glowing stick, so instead, I used my claws to cut the string off and run off out of the furniture store. I started to run as fast as I could, looking for pillow and ava. "GUYS!" I screamed. Finally, I saw them, waiting for me in the exit of the mall. "There you are! What ha-" pillow asked. "Don't ask! Let's get out of here!" I yelled, pushing pillow to the exit. "Why? We just got here!" pillow said, smiling as he walked from the exit. "Pillow? Pillow. No, you have to listen to me! Pease! PLEAE!" I begged, pointing to the exit. "But, cain. We've only been here for 15 minutes." pillow whined. "That's long enough, let's go now-" I said, pushing the exit door. Suddenly,

*Snip!*

"...Oh no..."

*Snip!*

"What's that noise?"

"Scissors?"

*Snip!*

"Guys! Come on!"

Ava and ryan immediately listened to me, but not pillow. "Pillow! Come on!" I yelled. "Cain, come on! We can't leave yet! This is going to be our first and last time of doing this!" pillow said, excitedly. "NO! LET'S GO!" I yelled. Just before pillow groaned and was about to come with us-

*SHING!*

I watched in horror as silver blades of scissors stabbed pillow. Pillow coughed, he gagged. The scissors escaped his body as he held his stomach. "PILLOW!" I screamed. Then, the opening of scissors met with pillows head.

*SHING!*

Pillow's head was cut off, rolling on the ground to me. I tried not to vomit as the scissor man moved pillow's body out of the way.
