What happened?

...

Did I die?

...

Please, just please I didn't just...

...

I don't want to.

...

Can't I just take a break?

...

Even if it was only a month.

...

Please?

"Agh!" Jeez, what the hell's happening to me? I just woke up then suddenly my body just started aching like... nu— what is that?

My thoughts were interrupted by what it seems like a stage. The stage was far from fancy but does look quite nice. Everything looks normal like the red drape but aside from all of that, the disturbing drawn backdrop was the one that caught my eyes first.

The backdrop consisted some creatures that seems to be drawn by a child, I wonder who drew it?

Maybe I should leave now, mom and dad might be worried sick.

"Wait a minute, where even am I?" I asked myself as I turned my head in all angles, trying to figure out where I am. "Maybe I should— huh?" Why am I tied to a seat in the middle of a dark empty auditorium?

Oh me, what did I even do this time to deserve this!?

I tried moving to check if the knot would come lose and apparently it's stronger than I thought. Sweat suddenly started falling down my cheeks and my frustration grew as I struggle to move out of the knot.

"Don't even try, miss!" the word echoed as the unfamiliar figure started walking towards the direction your facing.

Aight, this is the last straw, I ain't facing some random dude in the dark, I thought to myself as I moved around in a faster pace; trying to escape.

"You might tire yourself out and fall asleep before the show even starts haha!" the voice snickered as this person's silhouette gets nearer.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Please help me! Tears started forming and I couldn't do anything but stare at the figure.

"PLEASE NO!" I shouted in such manner, it made the figure stop its track. "Hmmhm.." the voice giggled as it watched me cry. Each second pass by, the giggle becomes louder and louder until the creepy giggles were replaced by laughs.

"HAHAHAHA! You should've seen your face, miss!" the voice finally revealed itself. "You-you— I'm really sorry, I can't handle my laugh right now!" the voice said laughing between words. Tears stopped flowing, yet I was still upset about this situation!

I was too upset to even look at my kidnapper. "What's going on!?" I shouted; expecting an answer in return except I was only punched back with unbearable laughs from this idiot!

"I-I'm sorry," another voice stuttered, "its my fault! I should've known that Popee would do this!" It came from a wolf, a purple one. I think it was telling me something but I can hardly make out what he's saying because of the mask he's wearing... a mask he's wearing? This is not some kind of ordinary wolf at all, it can talk! Seriously, have you ever seen a wolf, a purple one talk, NO right?

As I was checking out his features, I noticed something. This wolf can also walk in ! He also seem to be wearing orange boxer shorts covered with lighter orange spots.

What the hell!? This can't be real, anthropomorphic wolves, a weird laughing maniac who's name is Popee, me tied to a chair in a place who knows who. Please let this be a dream.

"Um miss, are you okay?" hearing those words from the wolf somehow calmed me down and brought me back to my senses , for a second I thought he was mom.

"PLEASE DON'T BE DEAAADDDDD—!" the wolf's whining sounded louder while he shook my body.

"W-woah, calm down. See, I'm okay."I gave him a reassuring smile. The gloomy expression of the mask fell off his face and was then replaced by a new mask with a more positive expression showing a sign of relief. Wait a minute, now how the hell was that even possible?

"Okay, okay, can we all just— uh- stop all of these nonsense for a second and quote, unquote be serious?" the wolf, and what I think is a girl named Popee stopped and listened. Wait, is Popee a girl or a guy? Seriously, what is up with people's styles now a days??

"I've been waiting here, wanting some answers but ohh no, I can't get those things 'cause the whole world is against me!" the two stared at each other for a moment and seemed confused but later on stared back at me.

"Look, I'm just really tired and I just wanna go home-"

The Popee dude cuts me off, "Go home? But, the show haven't started yet!" they shouted while a sad and eager emotion was plastered on their face.

"Are you crazy!? My mom and dad are probably looking for me right now,"

"Who cares, it's funner here in my circus!" the cocky bastard smiled as they lifted both their arms and started circling around me in amazement. Well, who wouldn't? I mean, if I owned this tiny piece of land; I would've added things that would make me happy like mom and dad. Maybe, this tiny place is their happy land.

As cool as that thought may sound, I was still upset about what she said. "Excuse me, Have you even met them before? I bet you would've taken back those words if you got to know them."

"Sadly I didn't! So don't be a baby and watch us perform already,"

"Look here girl, I don't know why you want me to see you guys perform but whatever your performance is, "

"Well , I'm a And you weren't being nice there little buddy, I think you need a lesson." He spoked in a sinister manner as he slowly pulled out a bomb from his teal-colored snatchel.

The purple wolf interrupted this time, "G-guys, I think we need to calm down. O-okay, repeat after me; breathe in breathe ou—"

"" Both Popee and I said in unison as the wolf's worried expression changed into a anxious one.

"Shut up, You're not part of this." Popee shouted back as he threw one of the bombs he's holding towards me.

"Look dude, I'm really sorry for assuming your gender and all. But, I really need your help! I-I wanna go home, and I don't know where I am. Please h-help me!" I couldn't hold my tears any longer and this frustration that I've been carrying isn't helping at all. Can I just go home please?

...

Please?

...

Popee and the wolf named Kedamono stared at me, speechless. Popee gave me a stern look while Keda that once wore a happy positive mask, was now wearing a mask with the worried expression on it.

"I'm really sorry guys-" I was about to apologize to them but Popee suddenly ran towards me... then everything went black, again.
