The Void (And Then There Were More) (Patreon)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Some parts of the town were completely empty, so I started looking there to see if they were trying to hide. I couldn't find any of them, so they were not here or they were very good at hiding. I just kept on looking in this spot a while longer when I noticed something wrong with the building... There was a very big hole behind it that I could easily walk through, but who would break into a place for yoga? I walked into the back ally way and decided to follow the sirens to see if they could be over there, but then I heard something behind me.

*Thud*

It sounded big or maybe a small explosion.

(Y/N)-Hello... Is someone there?

I started to get a little nervous, so I backed up a little, but then stopped when I heard another sound right behind me. I jumped and bumped into something behind me, so I turned around and then had to look up to see...

<figure></figure>

I don't know who she was, but I could see that she was a cartoon like the others. I could only make it just below her knees and if I reach up and she bent down a little, I could grab her hand. She bent down to her knees and she's still taller than me.

(Y/N)-Um, h-hi. I'm (Y/N).

???-... Susan.

She said that a little weird, but I just took her hand and she looked a little surprised.

(Y/N)-Come on. I can get you somewhere safe... Are there more with you or did you see people that didn't look like they belonged in this world?

Susan-Susan friends, searching. We want our homes.

(Y/N)-Um... I don't think that can happen. My friends and I tried before, but it didn't work.

Susan-(Y/N) friends?... (Y/N) tried to get others home?

(Y/N)-They came through my TV like you and your friends came through a different T.V., but... I think your world is gone.

She looked confused for a moment, but then looked happy when she picked me up and stood tall.

Susan-Come with Susan! Friends want to see you!

(Drew's POV)

I was polishing my blade a bit to kill some time for the day, but that instantly ended when my door opened. I turned to see Debbie and she looked around my room and looked worried.

<figure></figure>

Drew-What is it?

Debbie-Have you seen (Y/N)? I left him in his room to get medicine.

Drew-Is he not with the others?

The look on her face said it all. I got up and went to go search with her and saw the others were helping too, but there weren't much places to hide in this house and he won't come out... No, it's not that he won't come out... He's not here.

Drew-The news! He has to be in town!

((Y/N)'s POV)

Susan took me to an old factory where (B/N) and his friends stayed the night a few times for fun, but they weren't here. They might be in school or at home. Susan just pressed a button a few times and then sat down while holding me in front of her with one hand... She was holding me like a doll and smiled when she poked my stomach and made me laugh a little.

Susan-Tiny and cute... Are all children here like that?

(Y/N)-Um, when are your friends getting here?

My face heated up a bit and she giggled.

Susan-Pink cheeks. So cute. ~

She poked my cheeks next then put me in the middle of her crossed legs to pet my head and hug me. She stopped when we heard a poofing sound and I looked up to where the sound came from and my eyes went wide... Anti Wanda.

<figure></figure>

I thought only one cartoon character could come from one world. She flew down to us and I only saw her in one episode, but I know she's everything that Wanda is not... She's mostly stupid and sounds like a cowgirl, but she's also evil.

Anti Wanda-What's with the kid?

Susan-(Y/N) knows how we came here,

Anti Wanda-This lil' feller?... Well howdy! Name's Anti Wanda!

I have to tell Susan that she's very bad, but I can't say it in front of her or else she might hurt us both or worse... Anti Cosmo might be here and he's an evil genius. Anti Wanda just grabbed and shook my hand before she held it to look at me then poked me around a little.

Anti Wanda-Ya'll is as squishy as a marshmella.

Susan-Susan's squishy.

Susan held me tighter and up against her chest and my face warmed up when I was just held up like a toy again. The door opened again and two cartoon ladies walked in and I knew who one of them was from Danny Phantom.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

One is Penelope Spectra and she feeds off misery from people and made them tired or something, but the other lady just looked evil, and since she was with Anti Wanda and Penelope... I need to get out of here.

Susan-Penelope, Sedusa! Look at Susan's squishy!

Sedusa-... Squishy?

Susan-(Y/N) is squishy.

Penelope-I'm just going to stick with his name at best. What's a child doing here anyway?

Anti Wanda-This here kid knows how we got here.

Sedusa perked up a little and her hair moved on its own like it was an octopus's tentacle... Is her hair alive on its own or something?

Sedusa-So he knows how to get us back.

Susan-Yes and no.

Penelope-What?

Susan did her best to try and tell them what I told her about trying to get the girls at my house home and failed. Sedusa and Penelope did not look happy about it at all, Anti Wanda just poofed up a sandwich to eat it with her feet which was more disgusting than it was on T.V., and Susan didn't look like she was evil at all, but Penelope can manipulate people. When Susan finished talking...

???-So that's it?

We all turned to look behind us and I saw one more cartoon lady and I have no idea who she is, but she was very pretty... I just hope she's not evil and good like Susan because then I can take them to my house to hide them.

<figure></figure>

Wait a minute... Where did she come from? I didn't hear anything and she acts like she heard the whole thing.

???-Where are my manors? I am the Goddess of chaos, Eris. I heard your name is (Y/N).

A Goddess of Chaos?... I thought an anti-fairy was bad, but if she loves chaos then she has to be bad... I think Susan is the only one I can take back to the house with me. Eris walked over to us and she reached over to cup my cheeks in her hands and... they just felt so soft and warm then she smiled at me.

Eris-So... Our worlds are gone? Is that what you told Susan?

I was too scared to talk, so I just nodded my head at her then she smiled bigger to show her teeth, but one is missing.

Eris-What about these other friends?... Is one of them the Grim Reaper, an idiot with a big nose, or a mean girl with no nose?

I had no idea who she was talking about, so I just shook my head no at her then her smile went away a little.

Eris-Why do I think you're hiding something still?... Where do you live?

I just shook my head no at her again then she looked at the others and smiled at Susan.

Eris-Susan, I think our little friend here just needs to know that we mean no harm. How about you keep holding and caring for him until it's our turn with this 'squishy'? Take him somewhere for some private bonding. ~

(Eris's POV)

She bought what I said and held him tighter before she got up to walk off with him, so we can get down to business on how we can make him talk. Destroy a plant from my universe, I don't care, but there are other places for me to go and I will get back there. It's clear we can't get rid of the kid since they are very important in the plan of finding a way home, so we could try to win him over with love and gifts until he's no longer useful. After a while of talking about methods we noticed that Anti Wanda was missing then we heard a noise somewhere in the back, so we went to where the noise was and saw Anti Wanda and Susan with the kid under a small pile of boxes and broken shelves.

<figure></figure><figure></figure>

Penelope-What did you do?

Susan-Anti Wanda wanted to play a game where (Y/N) jumps off the shelf and into Susan's arms. It broke the third time.

It's only going to make things more complicated if he gets hurt by these two idiots. Sedusa used her hair to snatch (Y/N) from Susan and held him before she walked away.

Eris-Listen to me... He is our only ticket back home. Get him to talk about 'how' we got here and where he lives then you two can decide who takes him back home with you, but he can't know about this. Understand?

Susan-Susan can keep Squishy?!

Eris-Yes, whatever.

(Sedusa's POV)

I can easily woo over a child with candy and toys or whatever else brats like while they are here. There's no way he can know anything about me, so I have a somewhat clean slate with him. I sat down on a rock with him on my lap and gently brushed his hair with my fingers. His (E/C) eyes stared right into mine and he did look nervous around a complete stranger.

Sedusa-Don't you just look adorable. Unlike most kids in this town I saw.

(Y/N)-A-Are you a villain?

Sedusa-What? Heavens no. I... happen to care for 3 little girls where I come from. A mother and a hero... Oh... It's how I look, isn't it? I guess *sniffle* a lot do think I'm sc-scary and ugly. *whimper*

That fear in his eyes quickly turned into guilt when a tear started to fall out from one of my eyes. He hugged me and while it did feel a little nice to be hugged by someone very soft or as Susan put it, 'squishy'...

Sedusa's mind-Ahhh children. Most are just so gullible. ~

(Y/N)-I'm sorry. You do look pretty.

Sedusa-Oh... How so?

He spent 5 minutes complimenting me about my beauty and I don't know who taught him such a way with words. Given that it was just sweet talk. He could be a little poet for someone his age. One thing did hit pretty close to home when he reached behind me and pulled my hair down a little and he gave me a little blush for a moment.

(Y/N)-Woah. *whisper*... Your hair is beautiful when it's down.

I could tell that this one is not just sweet words to make me feel better... I kept my hair down and he looked mesmerized and played with some by letting his fingers dance in it and I let it loose and soften up. This actually looked adorable and for the first time, he did what no other man could do back in my world... I felt my heart beating against my chest and it felt weird but nice. I slowly wrapped him in my hair, but not trap him in it and he actually liked it.

Sedusa's mind-Well... The others aren't in too much of a hurry for their turn and I don't think they would mind too much if I took a little longer with my turn.
