A strange encounter

Hi guys. This is made as a memory to Dok Gaew a.k.a Grandma (1947-2018) an elephant living on Phuket Elephant sanctuary. She died in her final happy year after getting much trust, love and care. May she rest in peace.

Fiona the red vixen was on a vacation in Thailand and was at a private bungalow. She has heard the news of Crystal being back in prison and getting de-roboticized as well that she tried to kill Cyo and get Bonnie again.

"Crystal really deserve jail, where she belongs. Killing someone just to get their lover is the wrong thing to do. But I would never kill anyone for someone I love" Fiona said to herself. Then she remembered back when she betrayed Sonic and the freedom fighters for the Antis, but she didn't really want to think about that.

"No! Not that thought! I'm not going back to the bad ways" Fiona shook her head at the memory. Thanks to some meditation with Silver she has been able to let go of the past. Right now Fiona looked up among the trees seeing birds chirping. She got up and headed to what's bothering them came from and walked into the jungle in that direction. As she came deeper, something heavy was approaching her.

"Is that a..." Fiona saw four feet with four toes on the back and five on the front. She then realized what it was when it came through the trees.

"You're...a...a...elephant!" True to Fiona's words, it was an Asian elephant female. She had tiny stumps of tusks in her mouth and ligature marks on the neck, presumably from a rope

"Who did this to you?" Fiona asked. The elephant then points her trunk onto her back and Fiona saw marks after a steel seat.

"You were a trekking elephant slave" Fiona realized. After seeing the marks Fiona went up to the elephant's face and pets her cheek.
"Poor tormented creature. I won't let anyone hurt you again or being treated like a slave ever again" Fiona showed sympathy to the broken elephant. The elephant then gave her a hug with the trunk showing appriciation that she now has someone to trust.

"Now what should I call you?" Fiona wondered. She paced back and forth thinking of a name for the elephant. She then got an idea.
"How about I call you Ella? It's just a simple name but I guess it would do" Fiona asked. The elephant gave Fiona a look as if saying 'works for me' and hugged Fiona again with the trunk. Fiona touched the trunk feeling the thick leathery skin which was starting to get pink.

"I guess I better get back to my bungalow. See you later" Fiona pulled from the hug and walks away from Ella. But as she walked Ella just started to follow her.

"Ella, You can't be around at the bungalow. You'll get caught!" Fiona said slight annoyed. Ella folded her ears in shame and stood there.

"Good, now live a peaceful life. I'll be back later, I promise" Fiona said and heads back to the Bungalow. Ella watched as her new friend leaves her in the jungle. She grabs a banana tree leaf and smacks it against her own front leg before she eats it.

Back at the Bungalow, Fiona was having some pad thai for dinner and ate it peacefully during the quiet night.

"I hope that Ella is doing okay out in the jungle. Wait a second, she can't defend herself judging all abuse she's been through. It's wrong of me to leave her out there" Fiona said to herself.

"You're not gonna leave a defenseless abused animal out in the wild aren't you?" A angel version of Fiona appeared.
"My shoulder angel?" Fiona said.
"Nah Ella will just make it out fine in the wild. Just leave her out there" An devil version of Fiona appeared on the other shoulder.
"You don't see the point there, An abused animal has never learned how to attack anyone or even defending itself" Angel Fiona said.

"Oh come on Angel, Elephants got tusks and trunk as weapons" Devil Fiona said.
"Oh yeah?! But as tiny as Ella's are she can't use them" Angel Fiona said. Fiona listened carefully to her angel self and agreed.
"She got a point, Ella would never make it on her own in the wild, I mean those scars of her are signs of her horrible past. I won't go back being the bad guy" Fiona said.

"Eh you win this time Angel" Devil Fiona disappeared in a red poof of smoke.
"Oh yeah! Go and take care of Ella while you're still here or think of a solution" Angel Fiona thumbs up to Fiona before disappearing.

"Think of a solution...Hmmmm. I could ask Knuckles if she could stay on Angel Island but he'll probably deny having her there" Fiona said to herself.

After finishing dinner, Fiona go to bed and before going to sleep she thought of what to do with Ella tomorrow.
"Maybe I should go sightseeing in the jungle with her, getting to know her" Fiona thought to herself, she turns the lamp off before gone to sleep.
