Fomo Burger

Chapter 3: CHAPTER 3



Conveniently, a van pulled up right next to the two of them and the back door of it popped open. A girl was inside. "Quick you both, get inside" she said. Both Sweet Burger and Fomo Burger hopped into the van and they drove away from the creature.

In the van, there were three people. The girl that had saved them was called Crazy Burger. "Hey you guys alright?" Crazy Burger asked. "We are alright thank you, who are you guys?" Sweet Burger replied. "Well i'm Crazy Burger, that's Chicken Burger driving the van and that big guy over there is Quarter Pounder Burger. We saw you guys unleashed the crooked spirit from the artifact so we knew we had to come and help" Crazy Burger stated. "Crooked spirit…" Sweet Burger pondered. Sweet Burger and Crazy Burger talked to each other the whole drive whilst not including Fomo Burger. This was the first time Fomo Burger realised he had the fear of missing out. The van then abruptly stopped.

"Everyone be quiet" said Chicken Burger. Chicken Burger looked closely at the tree up ahead. Crazy Burger grabbed her shotgun and loaded it. Suddenly, a massive branch with thorns burst through the windscreen missing everyone but scratching one of Chicken Burger's buns. The tree in front abruptly turned into a creature, as black smoke started to come out of its cracks and creases.

"Get out the back quick" Crazy Burger whispered. As the group exited the van, the tree's roots turned into legs resembling a spider and started to move towards the van. Crazy Burger fired her shotgun once grabbing the attention of the tree creature. The group then ran fast into a dark forest to hide. Fomo Burger looked back for a second but once he looked forward he realised the group had left him, as if he was never there. He quickly buried himself in a ditch under a pile of leaves to hide from the tree creature.

As he laid in the ditch he then heard the tree creature approaching. Suddenly the creature came into Fomo Burger's view. The creature peered into the ditch as Fomo Burger started to panic. His lettuce then made a crunch noise. "Damn" he said. The creature let out a roar and went to attack Fomo Burger however it was hit buy some shotgun shells and that scared it away for a bit. It was Crazy Burger, she had saved him. However, she did not notice him laying in the ditch until he spoke. "Hey Crazy Burger i'm over here" he said. "Oh sorry Fomo Burger I had completely forgotten about you, let me take you to the others" Crazy Burger responded.

Crazy Burger and Fomo Burger then eventually met up with the others and Sweet Burger ran to give him a hug. "I'm glad you're okay" she said "I had completely forgotten about you". This made Fomo Burger go through a mix of emotions. He didn't know whether to feel upset that she had forgotten about him, or happy that she cared. The group sat in silence for about one minute. "Anyone remember the way back?" Chicken Burger asked. Nobody responded. Suddenly, the tree creature returned and jumpscared the group. Crazy Burger tried to fire her shotgun but she was out of shells. Then all of a sudden, Quarter Pounder Burger started throwing hands with the tree creature. He ripped off its branches on each side and started to stab it with the branches. The creature shrieked in pain and eventually ran away once again. Quarter Pounder Burger stood there menacingly eyeing down the tree creature as it ran away.

"Let's move guys" Crazy Burger stated. Whilst they were walking, Fomo Burger started to confront Sweet Burger about why she forgot about him even after what happened outside the Oven Factory. "You really forgot about me?" Fomo Burger asked. "Come on Fomo Burger you know I didn't mean it like that" Sweet Burger replied. "Are you lying to me?" he asked. "No, now let's keep going" she answered. He could tell that her mood had changed but he let it slide for now. Sweet Burger then quickly changed conversation. "Chicken Burger, do we know where we are going?" asked Sweet Burger. "Not one bit" Chicken Burger responded. The group kept walking around to try find a way out of the towering forest. They eventually came across a fence with a couple of warning signs on it.

"Let's go through here" Chicken Burger commanded. He climbed and hopped over the fence and the rest followed. Chicken Burger then put on his flashlight headband to help him and the group see where they were going. Fomo Burger was still confused about if Sweet Burger really did like him or not. He thought to himself that if she didn't like him then why did she kiss him. He again tried to let it go for the time being. Due to Chicken Burger's flashlight headband, the group was able to see that they had found and entered the area of an abandoned lab. "Let's keep going through this place" Chicken Burger ordered.

Fomo Burger went to whisper to Sweet Burger. "Do you really think we can trust these guys? I mean they are taking us into some abandoned lab" asked Fomo Burger. "Stop being so dramatic what's got into you recently, was it the kiss? I told you we could discuss that stuff after we get through this. Just relax and let's go" Sweet Burger responded. As the group entered the lab they quickly realised that since it was abandoned it was very dark because of the outage of power. Just as they all entered the lab, the door immediately slammed shut behind them trapping them inside.
