Never-Ending Nightmare

Chapter 4 - Rise of the Smiling Critters - Part 3 (Prequel Arc - Part 5)

Location: The Orphanage- Playtime Co.

Time: 1:35 AM

No POV

During the night here at the orphanage, everyone was sleeping peacefully until Y/n is already having a hard time sleeping again, even though that CatNap gave him the sleeping gas to put him to sleep, he just feels really hot right now due to the room temperatures that is burning him up.

He needed a glass of water from the lunchroom to cool him down before he can go back to sleep again, but then he didn't see CatNap in bed with him as he wondered where he went.

Y/n: (Thinking) Hmmm...I wonder where CatNap went? Maybe he had to go do something right now while we were asleep. Oh well. I just needed a glass of water before I go back to sleep. I'm burning up and I can't sleep without something to drink to cool me down. I just hope CatNap is ok. 

But then, just as Y/n quietly got out of his bed to grab a glass of water from the lunchroom, he noticed Theodore to not be in his own bed, which made Y/n confused is to why Theodore suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Y/n: (Thinking) That's odd. Theodore is not in his bed. He just disappeared without a trace. First CatNap is gone, now Theodore has gone missing. I don't what's going on, but I hope Theodore is not going to Juvie like Billy Mason was going to go before he died from a heart attack. I better go get a drink and get back to bed.

So, Y/n quietly went out the door to go to the lunchroom to go grab himself a glass of water to cool down, so he can go back to bed and head on back to dreamland with CatNap.

However, just as Y/n left the orphanage to go grab a glass of water, CatNap and Theodore snuck their way back into the orphanage to begin the next part of CatNap's plan as he and Theodore is going to unleash a special type of gas that will turn the kids into plushie toys just how Theodore became the exact copy of CatNap, but only just a bit shorter than him.

This will be the night where the kids will transform into the Smiling Critters as CatNap is planning something that will change the kids' lives forever as he is going to adopt all of the kids in the orphanage after they have all transformed into his own kind. That way, the kids will no longer have to wait to be adopted to a loving family as they're all going to be a happy loving family together.

But what they don't know is that Y/n is not in the orphanage at the moment and is getting a glass of water from the lunchroom right now as the two CatNaps unleashed the gas from their mouths, filling the whole room with the transformative gas that was concocted by CatNap himself.

After the two of them managed to fill the room with the gas, they both waited for the kids to breathe in the gas and become one of them to create the Smiling Critters.

CatNap: Yes...YES! This will be the moment where we will all be together as a family, and we will no longer have to worry about getting adopted to other families.

Theodore: But dad, what if they try to betray and kill you after the transformation.

CatNap: Not to worry, my dear child. I added a little extra ingredient to the gas that will make the Stockholm Syndrome effect kick in less than a minute or two if they ever try to fight back after their transformation is complete. Y/n is going to love this when he is finally one of us and once, we are together as a family, then we will finally escape this hellhole once and for all.

Theodore: (Realizes what he just saw) I hate to burst your happy thoughts, dad, but Y/n is not in his bed right now.

CatNap: What?!

CatNap then looked to see Y/n not in his own bed as they both didn't know that Y/n went out to go grab a glass of water in the lunchroom, which means that they're going to have to rethink the plan for a moment since Y/n is not in the Orphanage right now. To make matters worse, they ran out of the special gas that will turn a human into a Smiling Critter, so they're gonna have to make more in order to give Y/n the same treatment.
