Chapter Text
They say all stories are better told from the beginning, no no a little further than that.
🪺
If you told yourself that you'd end up in this looney bin your grandparents should've sent you to in stead of church at six, that and this seemed like an actual insane asylum that you were sent to at 21. But you gain some you loose some, you did know some nutty idiots who think praying or saying sorry is immediate forgiveness. Warning. It ain't they can't apologize after senting out your husband with nothing to feed or hydrate himself causing him to freeze in the woods for a week. It was hard to hear the news from your mother, you couldn't look her in the eyes. How could you forgive her? Yeah she's a flawed human being but it doesn't excuse what she did. She has a fully developed brain and could've avoided this tragedy. But nope. Hell your own sister says she recommended a kindergarten because mom did and has a friend to keep tabs on G/N and B/N. You're own f*cking kids too! Did she not trust you that much? When you arrived at this sh*t hole it looked.. abandoned. After you got the news from officers that this place was a hazard you gave zero sh*ts, those were YOUR kids in there! And some others!
You brought an army bag with water, food, daggers, a knife, lighter, achohol; mostly in the cases you had to blow something up just in case, taser, mace, flashlight, brick, Oh and a gun. You were already prying the door open as you looked inside the giant lobby area. Nope nothing, well besides a key card.. nothing organism wise there is literally nothing in here besides seats, front desk, and a somewhat functional computers. Other then that nothing.
You used the key card to open up the door with a lighting bolt above it, as the doors opened a drone was visible a few feet away, you approached it cautiously making sure to not set something off like an alarm. You managed to pick up a remote, drone, and it's instructions.
[Hello Employees, as a way of having a guide around the building and an easy way of getting voice mails, announcements on expirements, and communicating through the drone we give you the dronw 2.0, comes in pre charged and can follow voice commands so you don't have to always carry the remote every day during your work hours. Be grateful. - Uthman Adam.] You chuckled at the last part, you had no clue who this was but by the sounds of it he was a dick. Voice commanded? You decided to see for yourself as the drones light blinked till it stayed fully on. The drones 'eye' looked up at you like a new born who was done marinating in a womb for 9 months. It started making a bunch of buzzing noises as the little propellers started to carry the drones weight.
You looked at the drone for a bit, deciding for a name. "How do you feel about the name Gigglesh*tter?" You asked as you look up at the drone. The drone just buzzed louder as it's front was tilted so you were in it's full veiw. Gigglesh*tter it is then. Gigglesh*tter then flew through the air, bapping the button on the wall. The double doors opened as the both of you went down the hallway, on your and Gigglesh*tters way through you saw a mural. Wow. These.. designs.. look like something an adult of crack would make... eh. It's for kids so why not not these cartoony abominations. Seemed decent enough..
🪺
You and Gigglesh*tter kept looking in room after room, it only felt like this place got bigger and bigger the more you and Gigglesh*tter continued. It got to a point you saw a sign saying 'Bird rangling'.
RULES:
-You can get all 5 pink birds and pass through and get a few peices of food for the cafeteria!
-However if you get all 5 pink birds and the blue one you get a keycard and more food!
As you read that you heard a crack come from the intercom. "Well folks looks like we gotta' live one tonight!" The voice spoke. Sounded like one of those intercoms people at those sports games but not at the same time. "RELEASE THE BIRDS!" the voice bellowed out as the paddocks of each side of the room opened up, a large light then turned on as you realized you were in an area of some sorts. Some weird magnet claw machine lowered, having a magnetic pull it pulled up your wearmy bag, jacket, and Gigglesh*tter. And these were not birds.. whoever made that sign clearly never saw birds before cause these were some ostrich velecoraptor type creatures running around at mock 30.
sh*t, there is little chance you could get them to all slow down, you looked around the room for anything to help before escaping to your head. Okay catch birds going faster then a cyclist on a bike. What could you do to slow them down? f*ck.. you couldn't just throw yourself at them hoping to catch them. As you regulated your heartbeat a bit and calmed down you noticed the birds starting to look at you, maybe wondering why you weren't chasing them around. It got to a point the birds got closer and closer, probably trying to tease you more as they past; expecting you to then try to grab them. But as they continued you did nothing. The atmosphere got more calmer and relaxed, you watched as these birds tired themselves out. All but the blue one were flopped over breathing heavy, as you made eye contact with this bird you knew what you had to do. If this bird doesn't tire itself out then you'll make sure it does. You bolted towards the bird as the bird flinched not expecting you to bolt at it, the bird started running but you soon caught up slowly coming in on the blue bird. The bird then stopped, jerking back as it let out a hiss as you slid forward a bit, catching yourself from falling face first.
You already had it with this blue pigeon, you felt the adrenaline rush and run through your veins as you then pounced on the bird, straddling it and pinning the creature down. You looked around to see all the birds sleeping with exhaustion. "Wow, not expecting tha- oh it's on. Oh. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER." You looked up at the intercom as you came down from your adrenaline high, you didn't like it one bit when the intercoms man said that. As soon as that happened you heard a crash as another door slowly opening behind you, sh*t.
You could feel the breathing behind you, you picked up you bag, jacket, and Gigglesh*tter as the blue bird started to wake up and become self aware again. Oh this wasn't good. "Better run fast for your life~ and kids." The man from the intercom said as you looked back at the slowly opening door, you ushered the bird to start running for it as a growl was eminent from the now almost opened doors.
🪺
And yep, here you are now. On the back of a blue bird as this even bigger bird is chasing behind the both of you, and Gigglesh*tter who was still in your hands.
🪺
"Do you go any faster?" You said loudly, the bird hissed as it tried running faster, you were spotting for some ways out of this mess. You still couldn't believe your kid was in this situation.. as much as you blamed your family you couldn't help but also blame yourself for putting him in this place. The streal that left the giant pink bird was probably enough to burst eardrums by how much your ears rang from the noise.
You and now bird companion managed to make it to the end of this what felt endless hallway as the door closed behind you, the beast banging it's head on the metal. Roars and clawing got louder till it stopped. You and the bird were now on top of the stairs looking down at the massive metal double doors, you then turned your attention back to the blue bird who was spacing out. As you and the bird just looked at each other the double doors bursted open giving you a good look at this thing. A 13 foot tall bird, long head feathers, claws, sharp beak with razor teeth and beady unhinged eyes. This thing was literally teying to rip your soul out just by looking at you.
A low hiss was heard from this thing as it's feathers ruffled up, wait this thing was named like.. Opila.. Opal.. something like that, damn those sh*tty kids drawing got her completely wrong. The drawing of her looked like some clean pink big bird with a male peaco*cks tail.. but nope, she.. or assuming it's a she; she has uneven feathers, green sh*t oozing from her mouth and what seemed to be some wound, and some bloodshot red eyes.
The big bird roared as it slowly but surely made it's way up to you, as it got closer you only noticed more and more things. The wrinkles of her bare flesh, how skinny she was, the feathers looked torn out. The bird got closer, somewhat seeming to calm down.. a tincy wincy tiny bit. She lowered her massive beak and head down to you to sniff you then hiss. The blue bird got in front of you and it's supposed mother and chirped.
You were questioning why, why was this bird so mad? It's only been a few days after this place closed down.. so why- then it donged on you, the rules of the bird rangling they made the kids do. By the rules you could tell they made kids do rounds of it just for food, she must've watched her own kids be locked up and then tormented time after time all cause it was a simple 'kids game'.
The bird snorted as it continued to watch her young, no mother would want that.. no mother would want their own young be tormented by a different species.. it made sense to you now. There was something you could do though, you reached into your bad to get some jerky out of the little container. Waving it infront of the bird and it's mother their attention went straight to you. You inhaled as you tried to find the words and what to say. "Hey, uhm. I'm sorry for rugby tackling your baby. I won't lie I should've known better. I'm sorry" you said as the birds eyes squinted trying to see if you were lying to it or not. A low rumble growed in her chest as she then took and pecked some jerky out a long side her kid.
You were sweating buckets at this point, feeling like you ran a marathon of sorts. You put your bag down to catch your breath, as you did that you notice Gigglesh*tter now powering back on after being against a machine, ran from a giant bird, and now just chilling out a hot second. "Scan.. for.. announcements.. please." You said as you sat down in front of the two birds.
🪺
The bird stretched as it layed down besides you as the bigger one was finishing off the jerky, a purr coming from both of the birds as the blue one turned its head to you with a squak escaping it. Opila then groaned feeling better then she felt in a long time. Last time she had encounters with her human creators weren't good to say at least. So seeing one that at least understood her feelings was a refresher. A long side that mini meal too, it had been a while since she had proper food and not just left overs from that sh*tty intercoms man. Next time Opila comes across him he'll be pecked to death and will have his limbs tore off.
Opila looked down at you, she could tell you were here for a reason. She had a good idea why you were here, nobody would put up with the stuff down here for anyone else, she could sense the emotions coming from you and the air around you. She could feel the stress going into the air the more you were silent. It was not hard to tell that this human was also a mother as well. If she could speak English then she would've said something by now but she couldn't.
Opila got up the stomps heard getting closer to you as the bird looked down at you. She layed her body down so you and her baby could get on. As that happened the voice box from Gigglesh*tter rang to life. "Cases and subcases of the Garten, I am the one you owe for over powering and silencing our creators. For there is a intruder in the Garten.. bring her to me so she can be dealed with accordingly" A voice rang from the voice box.
Opila hissed knowing that voice, she now carried you, your lugage, and her baby. Gigglesh*tter just hovered over. Opila then started to walk off as you, her baby, and your lugage bounced with every single step this giant bird took. The last thing you saw was a lift that only had one way to go, down. Your vision got darker as the exhaustion started to kick in.
