Syzygy 🧡💜 [Solar Eclipse Book 2]

Killer Bees 🐝🔪

Dogday POV:

I wake up in our hotel room, stretching my body. I look over at CatNap, and it seems like he isn't awake yet.

I get out of bed carefully, so I don't wake CatNap up. I go to the coffee maker and turn it on.

I decided to go with snickers flavor, since it's one of my favorite coffee flavors. Once it's done brewing, I add some milk and sugar, which is the best substitute for creamer.

I grab the mug and take sips from it. I haven't had coffee in a while, not since last month. It is September 28th, 1995. I can't wait for next year... It's always fun watching the fireworks. Even though PlayCare was a dome, they still had some fake fireworks for off every year on January 1st.

Well, let's hope the fireworks are not fake outside of the factory. I want to see what real ones feel like.

I hear yawning coming from the bedroom, and then a big purple fur ball comes out of it. "Rise and shine, kitty." I laugh at his messed up hair.

"What? What're you looking at?" He asks. "Nothing... Might wanna brush yourself a bit though." I giggle.

He looks into a mirror, and sighs. "I've always had this problem, no matter if I go to bed in an awkward position or not, it don't matter." He shrugs.

After he finishes brushing himself, we pour some cereal, and eat it. We then get up and get dressed in some new clothes.

"What should I go with? Cargos and long sleeves, or baggy jeans and short sleeves?" I ask him. "Cargoes and long sleeves, we need to cover up our bodies, remember?" CatNap reminds me. "Oh yeah... We need to buy all of the long sleeves outta that store then." I laugh.

"If it helps us survive this treacherous city, then we might as well..." He chuckles along with me.

"And... We gotta find ourselves some jobs, whether we like it or not. We need to keep up with the hotel payment." CatNap says, and I nod.

"Well, what kind of jobs does this place have to offer?" I ask, "We'll have to find out." He replies.

We walk out the hotel room, and take the elevator. We talk about this and that on the way down.

"Well then, let's go." CatNap says, leading me out of the elevator doors.

We greet the front person and go outside. We obviously have our masks, hats, and gloves on. "Don't you think people might think we're... Gonna rob them or something?" I ask, "What? No. Why would they think that?" CatNap replies. "Maybe because we have ski masks, and gloves." I say, concerned.

"They won't think nothing... Besides, I saw a couple of other people with some masks on, so you don't gotta worry." CatNap says.

"I'm gonna worry even more." I say.

We continue to walk through the city, people giving us some glares, and some scared. "Now why is everyone scared?" I ask, "I dunno..." CatNap says.

Cars begin to pass us, a lot faster than before. "Okay, this cities' weird..." I say.

"Yeah... I think I agree." CatNap giggles nervously. We continue walking, feeling more paranoid than ever.

We hear some gossip and murmuring from some folk. "Now people are taking about us!" I whisper. "Okay, we gotta go." CatNap finally says.

We start speed walking. "I told you we should've just gotten away from the city." I say, "You never said anything about getting away from this city." CatNap says.

"Well, whatever. Still. We gotta hurry through, I don't wanna be caught in a mess again." I say, scaredish.

We see other people around the corner, with ski masks and gloves as well, but those ski masks are black and yellow...
