DON'T RUN AWAY.
I logged onto Animal Jam, getting three diamonds as usual, but something was off.
I did the smile emoticon, but the eyes were tinted red. I shrugged it off, assuming it was a graphical error. I went into my den. For a split second, there was a completely black octopus standing beside me.
I thought, "Hmm, maybe Animal Jam is glitching out." I decorated my den, but all that was in my inventory was masterpieces saying "DON'T RUN" in a dark purple-blue color.
Now it was starting to get weird. I got a Jam-A-Gram saying "DON'T RUN" again, with the text tinted blue. I went into Appondale, into Claws N' Paws, but all the pets were just black roosters, constantly doing the hopping action.
I went into the hospital, and there was a flyer saying yet again "DON'T RUN", still tinted blue. Why were all these "DON'T RUN" things here?
I went back into my den, and then the black octopus stood there, just staring right at me, piercing my soul.
I tried to make my animal move, but it couldn't. The octopus got closer to my animal. It put on the land item, sword.
The screen went black. I heard a bunny squeaking, then a splatter of liquid. Then, a picture slowly faded in.
It was my bunny, staring at the screen, a hole in her chest.
She walked towards the screen, and as she got closer, her pupils began to fade away until her eyes were just a soulless white. She stood there, and she spoke to me through my headphones, "Why did you ever create me? What is my purpose? I'm just a useless bunny, a puppet, I'm nothing to you, aren't I? You will regret this."
The screen went black, the frame right before the screen went black was her smiling. I heard breathing behind me.
I turned around. A stuffed bunny that looked just like mine from AJ was breathing as if it was alive. I took the stuffed bunny outside, and I threw it as far as i could.
The next morning, I felt something cold on my neck. The stuffed bunny held a knife to my neck, and I threw it off.
I got a lighter from my parents' drawers, and I burned the bunny.
As the smoke came out, it was in the shape of a spirit.
An hour later, I was my arctic fox, and everything was back to normal. Until....I did the smile emoticon, which had just huge black eyes, no shine, no nothing.
I still play AJ to this day.
