Whumptober Day 12 wrote this last minute (yesterday, i totally forgot to prep this one). Enjoy 🫣
I haven't slept in days, but who's counting / Red /insomnia / "I'm up, I'm up"
"Caretaker wake up.... Caretaker wake the fuck up."
Caretaker sighed as their eyes fluttered open. They took in the dimly lit room, they noticed something, someone was missing.
"I'm up, I'm up", they jumped, "where is Whumpee?"
"You know I have you under a strict sleep schedule. No sleep whatsoever", the figure chuckled, "so why am I finding you napping."
Caretaker looked up angrily, "cause Whumper, I haven't slept in days", Caretaker sighed, "but who's counting?"
"I have a tally, just to ensure I don't go pass the recommendation, don't need you two going crazy on me", Whumper laughed.
Caretaker did a quick glance around the room, "Uh were is Whumpee?"
Whumper was already leaving, "I don't know, let's hope they're not sleeping though", Whumper slammed the door just as Caretaker was trying to grab them.
"Whumper get back here. You know where they are", Caretaker banged on the door.
They sighed and crawled back to the wall and sat, they leaned back and looked up to try to alleviate the knot in their throat. A tear formed in their eye.
"Whumpee, I'm sorry. I dozed off, and you get grabbed from me", Caretaker looked down.
It was a scary experience to get pulled from the locked room, both Caretaker and Whumpee knew this, but it was a little comforting to have a friend there to see you off, and to comfort you when you returned.
"I was asleep when you needed me", Caretaker hit the floor with their fist, "I'm so sorry."
Caretaker allowed a few tears to fall when they heard the door being unlocked.
They sat up and quickly wiped the tears away. Whumpee would be in bad shape, Caretaker didn't want Whumpee to be concerned with them crying.
"Look who I found", Whumper dragged in a lifeless body.
Caretaker's jaw dropped, "did you, you didn't kill them, did you?"
"I don't think so", Whumper dropped Whumpee onto the floor, "let's just say I let them go to sleep for a little."
Caretaker instinctively got up to rush to Whumpee.
"Nah-ah-ah, you know the rule", Whumper blocked Whumpee from Caretaker.
Caretaker slowly sat back down, staring Whumper in the eyes.
"Say it, I want to hear you say the rule", Whumper grinned.
"We are not allowed to move until you leave", Caretaker spoke through gritted teeth.
"Exactly", Whumper slowly paced around the room. They whistled happily, glancing at Caretaker once in a while. Giving a devilish smile.
Whumpee started to moan.
"Oh good", Whumper knelt down beside them, "I was getting worried."
Whumpee's eyes squinted open, they cried when they saw Whumper.
"Please no more", they started to plead, "I'm good, I'll keep being good. Please", they cried.
Whumper stood and smiled, "such a good prisoner, you learn so well."
Whumper glanced at Caretaker, "you should learn from them."
Whumpee whimpered and looked at Caretaker. They smiled weakly, "Caretaker", they whispered, and held out their hand.
Whumper stepped over them, then stomped on their hand.
Whumpee arched in pain as they screamed.
Whumper knelt down with their foot still digging into Whumpee's hand. They grabbed a handful of Whumpee's hair.
"You know the rules, so why are you reaching for them?", Whumper frowned.
Whumpee winced, "I-I'm sorry please, I'm sorry."
"Let them go",Caretaker stood and ran towards Whumper.
Whumper quickly stood, and slapped Caretaker, knocking them to ground.
"Caretaker no", Whumpee screamed, they still grimaced as Whumper stood on their hand.
Whumper smiled and straightened their shirt, "congratulations Caretaker you just won a prize, you are going to suffer tomorrow."
Whumper did one final dig into Whumpee's hand, then went to leave. Whumpee rolled over to hug their hand.
Caretaker got up when the door finally slammed shut and locked. They crawled to Whumpee.
"Whumpee are you okay? I'm so sorry I was asleep when they grabbed you", Caretaker gently ran their hand through Whumpees hair.
Whumpee sobbed, "I-I'm okay, but they're going to hurt you tomorrow", Whumpee started to cry, "I don't want you to get hurt."
"We will cross that bridge when it comes, I'll be okay", Caretaker tried to comfort Whumpee, they forced a smile, but couldn't hide a tear forming in their eye.
Whumpee weakly sat up, and they hugged each other. They whispered reassurances to each other all night, forcing each other to stay awake.
The morning came, the door was unlocked.
Caretaker sighed, "okay, remember I am going to be okay", they whispered to Whumpee.
The door slammed open, Whumper walked in with that devilish grin.
Whumpee whimpered, "and what if your not", they whispered.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get their", Caretaker frowned.
Whumper stepped closer, "are you coming willingly or by force?"
Caretaker stood, "let's get this over with."
