Two In One (Fliqpy x Flaky)

Part 6

I'm so stupid, I made this whole entire chapter and I thought I clicked PUBLISH but instead I just clicked SAVE thinking I was publishing it... Silly me...

Petunia's POV

My phone started ringing on the bedside table as I lay on my bed in a daze. I haven't told anyone about what I discovered about Flippy or even that he's back. I pick up the phone and answer in silence, not long after I hear Splendid "Are you there? Petty?" I let out a sigh in response. He laughs "Listen, I just saw Flippy at the store..." I bolt upright "What?" I ask "yeah, I tried saying hi but he just dodged me, I'm following him right now and he's acting really odd," I asked him where he was and where he thinks he was headed.

I know that Flippy did something with Flaky and I wanna know why he didn't tell us he was back and why he didn't tell us about his... problem. I grab my coat "On my way" I say before hanging up and running out of my house, making sure I closed the door unlike last time, I gave Giggles a heart attack after I got home.

I feel Flippy's picture folded in my pocket, I kept it even though it wasn't mine "If Fliqpy is the one who did this" I mumbled, not willing to finish my sentence. I ran all the way to Splendid, he was texting me updates on where they were headed. When I finally caught up to him, they were at the edge of town near the forest.

Splendid looked at me with a look of confusion "Why is he going to the forest with a bunch of apples and first aid stuff?" He asks me as if I knew! Oh please, don't let the first aid mean Flaky's seriously hurt! I pull Splendid along by the collar as Flippy or Fliqpy, whoever almost dropped out of sight. Splendid almost complained but he slapped his own mouth shut before I could get to him, good thinking on his part.

We waited for a little while and watched from the only cover left standing between him and us, a short wooden fence from a house that's on sale right now. I think we waited a little too long when Flippy disappeared into the woods because when we entered ourselves, nothing helped point us in his direction curse his military skills! 

"Maybe it's a good time to go back," Splendid said nervously while turning around and taking a step in the opposite direction. 

I grabbed him by the mask and pulled him back "Listen carefully Wonder Squirrel." I say while looking at him dead in the eyes "Flippy has been here longer than any of us know and I have reason to believe he's got something to do with the Flaky disappearing so if you wanna step up and be the Wonder Squirrel Flaky doesn't know you to be and win her over then you're coming with me." Quite frankly, I think the only words i needed to say was "Flaky will be there." Because he was all up for it now.

We wondered, mostly going straight with a few minor acceptions, multiple times almost being scared to death by wild animals. Splendid was bouncing from tree to tree, having the time of his life (quietly). We both stop and listen once we hear a squeak-like sound coming from our left. We heard it again only as a full on scream.

"Flaky!" I cry while racing in that general direction, leaving Splendid behind.

Branches and thorn whacked and pricked me as I ran, running straight into a clearing  and in that clearing was one pissed off Flippy and a passed out Flaky. I cry her name again, catching Fliqpy's attention.

His yellow gaze fell on me as my gaze fell on a bloodies knife wound did Flaky do that? I ask myself before saying "Let her go." with all the strength I could muster in my voice.

He grinned and turned to me "She's right here, come and get her." He laughed, clearly meaning to taunt.

I charge at him, snapping my pine scented foam tree from my neck and slapping it to his face, it took him by surprise but he quickly slapped my hand away and grabbed hold of me, turning me around so my back was against his chest. 

His arm wrapped around my neck and slowly applied pressure, suffocating me "Joy, another plaything!" He cheered gleefully. I could see Splendid in the tree in front fo me, I almost missed him but I could see his eyes that were clouded in fear. I shook my head and mouthed "Run" before dots clouded my vision, wiping everything to black.
