Being a storm chaser naturally living in the most unstable place of the world many things get tossed around by twisters and winds...
and somethings mysteriously show up
a while back there were these outrageous rumors that the pets from the popular online game neopets where coming out of peoples comp's..
And pulling them inside or sticking around and scaring them to death...
such silly nonsense I though as my colleague snapped me out of my thoughts screeching( LOOK LOOK THERE'S A BIG ONE ON ITS WAY!) flailing his arms as he pointed at the computer screen
Finally some action I thought as we sped away in the vehicle
we didn't make it in time and almost everything was destroys but everyone was...
Alright and safe
looking at the town a sad sick feeling temporarly sped over me wich happeneds everytime...only shortly though..
as I regained my composure my partner yelled HEY AL LOOK AT THIS THING screaming in his normal hyper way as he pulled a blue egg out of the ruble
it was scaly and large almost like a....im not sure..dinosaur egg maybe?
what do you think it is? I asked
he shrugged..
Ostrich maybe?
I wasnt sure
I held the egg to examine it and it was rather heavy
hmmm I thoght
all of a sudden it began to hatch...
A bright light shone and there sitting in my arms was a small bright yellow griffin like creature with cute baby eyes
well if it was a hungry evil baby
I screamed and jumped back hurling it into teh air and it flapped its wing flying up as I fall backward...
Falling down I look up at the tiny thing it gave me an endearing look and hugged me
MAMMA! it exlaimed
AHH IT TALKS I screamed without thinking
my partner chuckled..Dude it called you momma he thinks your a chick
Its not funny I glared at him
The thing flew down and nuzzled my chin
after that my fear and confusion dissapeared and I asked it
what are you?
An Eyrie it say's
Im a neopet!
oh boy...I thought looking at it
I don't know Al its awfully cute maybe you should keep it...or if not sell it to a fast food place and turn it into chicken nuggets
It squaked and hid behind me
no Russel we cant eat it I said rolling my eyes
all he ever thought about was food
I'm not an it you know the tiny thing said in an irritated voice
I am male
I see I said looking at him
he Russel was right he was a pretty cute little thing maybe he would be a cute little mascot for teh company
your not going to suck me into my computer are you? I asked him
Of course not do you think little ol' me is strong enough to forcefully pull you threw a glass screen he said a little offended.
Im sorry Im sorry I said
yesh it was just a question after all
so do you have any mom or dad anywhere on earth little eyrie
just you he said looking at me with puppy eyes
your not going to leave me here right?
well...I said...
he looked down in a pained manner...pretty please he said smiling a toothless smile
oh fine I said...after all its about the size of a house cat...
what could go wrong...?
I took him home and sat him down on a chair in my apartment
home sweet home I muttered knowing the place was a dump. . .
UGH it smells what is that he said
that would be a month old pizza I said
ewww he said covering his beak with his paws
yeah I said shifting my eyes
so ugh what do you eat I asked scratching the back of my head nervously
GRACKLE BUGS
what is that I asked almost horrified at the sound of the word bug and even more at the word grackle
its a beetle on a stick he said smiling a toothless all beak smile sheepishly
erm Im afraid im fresh out of buts but how about...worms? (knowing that theres a man that only fished next door that has tons of worms)
whats that he asked confused
be right back
I ran next door and came back with a single worm
eww he said
then what I asked
he looked around and saw a box of doughnuts sitting on my desk (my breakfast from that morning)
That will work he said flying over and eating one
phew I said (after All thats all I eat really and hes only about the size of a house cat)
what can go wrong?
the next day
I let the adorable little ball of fuzz sleep at the end of my bed
even though its highly intelligent its still a baby...
so I thought...
I woke up to something heavy laying on my foot
what on earth could that be did the neighbors dog get in again I thought...
so I sat up and to my horror
the eyrie quadrupled in size
more then that
he turned a dazzling blue...
I screamed loudly waking the now mastiff sized eyrie and it screamed as well
then it laughed and said why are we screaming dad?
I looked into its eyes and it was the same playful sarcastic thing before only kingsized
y-you...y-you
what he asked confused
what happened to you I asked shocked
oh lookie my grown up feathers are starting to grow in
my eyes huge now I ask
how big will you get
he said I dont know both my parents were around the the size of a grarrl
whats that I asked and how big is it?
a dinosaur and about the size of this building
I fainted...
I woke up to him saying DAD DAD ARE YOU OKAY? he asked shocked
I rubbed my my head
yes I'm okay and quit calling me dad
but you are my dad he said with sad eyes like he was about to cry
okay okay eyrie don't cry you can call me dad
all of a sudden my computer screen started to glow and two giant feathery purple claw like arms came out and pulled us both inside!
Game over...
or continue?
