Soos woke to the feeling of something licking his cheek, already laughing and shoving it away before he was fully awake.
It turned out to be a nightmare, and Soos sat up, still laughing, to pet it.
“Man, am I glad to see you dudes,” he said as the second nightmare
trotted up. “How about that, that whatever it was, huh? Looks like it
got all of us.”“I͏ don’͡t k͏no̕w ͟w͝here a͟ny̶one̴ els̴e is͢,” the first nightmare
baaed, a little pathetically, but then again they were used to having
the rest of the Flock around them to back them up and were feeling a bit
exposed with just one other Flockmember and a human.“Hoo man, that’s…that’s gonna make things harder,” Soos agreed,
climbing to his feet and adjusting his hat. “But we found each other
during the Oddpocolypse, we can do it now!”The nightmares seemed to take heart at that, waiting patiently as Soos looked around.
“Okay, I have no clue which way to go here,” Soos admitted. “These aren’t the normal woods. You dudes got any ideas?”
“I͜ ̸t͠hink͏.̢..w̶e m͜i̧gh̢t ̵fin̕d ̶par̕t̴ ҉o͜f̧ ̡the̵
̨Mas̸ţe͞r…̨t̸h̷a̛t ͢w͟ay̴,” the first nightmare, one Soos regonized
as Steve, said.“P̕e͝rhaps h͘e͡ ca͜n̵ ͜l͢e̶a͟d̡ us̡ t̷o ̢th̡e S͜h̸a͠ck̛ and͜ the ͡o͢t̕he̵rs̛,” Sheep, the other nightmare, said hopefully.
Soos shrugged. “Good a plan as any,” he said. “Lead on, Steve dude!”
Steve drew himself up, gave a little shake, and started walking.
