Panic, fear, that's all she felt. She was alone, and she was scared. How could she let this happen? She was with Cuddles just a few moments ago, now she was lost and needed to get back, but where was she?
Flaky ran and ran through the forest, but all she saw was trees and bushes. She was only nine years old and she was frightened out of her mind, no way could she think straight in a dangerous place full of wild animals that could eat her in the dark where she couldn't defend herself.
She ran into a tree and fell back, getting herself all dirty but she didn't care. She didn't have anyone to go back to anyways, no one was looking for her besides Cuddles and she wasn't even sure if he was. She cleared her mind and sat up on the knees, whipping away the tears streaking down her cheeks. She knew she had a home she just didn't know where or with who but she would soon find out.
Flaky got up and took a deep breath before gaining any courage she had in her and walked in the dark, ignoring the wild animal calls that startled her from time to time. She began to lose her courage but still walked alone the trees and saw what seemed to be light. She smiled and walked towards it to find out it was a street lamp. She smiled and walked towards it and relief flooded over her and she relaxed. She then looked around and this time she fell to her knees.
She realized where she was, and she knew she was in more trouble there then in the woods. Should she go back? She would surely get lost again, but isn't it better then what could happen if she stayed here in the bad part of town? She heard stories of people getting shot and kidnapped in broad daylight down there, and no one did a thing to stop it, they were to scared from the mods of people crazy enough to riot the streets and kill ten police men, not to mention the multiple people in the riot killed. The brutal fights that happened, robberies everyday.
Scenarios flooded into Flaky's mind about all the terrible things that could happen to her, especially when it was dark out. She could be kidnapped, shot, run over, robbed or stabbed. Flaky began to hyperventilate and thought up of more things that could happen to her in the dark place she was in. She shook with fear and didn't realize there was a man watching her from a few street lights behind her.
He smiled in delight at what he saw and knew this girl would be an easy target. He fixed his tan trench coat and quietly repeated what he had rehearsed a million times in his head for a occasion such as this one. He then quietly approached the girl on quiet paws as she sat crying on her knees, confident he could easily persuade her to come with him.
"Ahem, excuse me" He said but she didn't hear him, or if she did, she was rudely ignoring him. He cleared his throat once more and loudly announced his presence to the young distressed girl.
"Excuse me" He said louder gathering her attention. She immediately stopped any noise she was making and looked at the ground. She shook in fear as tears poured down her face, silently as she held back any sound she was going to make. Someone was behind her, and he sounded rough and mean. She slowly turned her head towards him, dreading the decision as when she saw him, she screamed and got up, running into the street lamp. She fell backwards again and the man behind her was taken back. He had said two words and she almost ran away from him. How was he supposed to talk to her without her running away, if he grabbed her it would be obvious he was trying to kidnap her, but he couldn't slip up on this task.
He kneeled down and the red-headed porcupine crawled to the lamp post shaking and crying as he looked at her in amusement.
"Hello there" He said and smiled. The girl didn't even look at him and she curled up into a ball the best she could and tried to fend him off.
"G-G-G-Go a-a-a-away" She whispered shaking and the green bear looked at her, trying not to smile.
"I won't hurt you. Are you lost?" He asked.
"Y-Yes b-but I'm o-okay" Flaky said to the stranger and he smiled a genuine smile and dug into his pocket. Flaky watched his every move and covered her eyes with her paws when he dug his paw into his pocket. He then reached out to Flaky which made her flinch and whimper but he didn't mind and continued.
"Look at what you have in your ear" He said and a quarter appeared in his hand. Flaky sniffed and looked at him still crying.
"I wont hurt you" He said and smiled. Flaky whipped her eyes and looked at him.
"You're not?" She asked and the stranger shook his head.
"No, I'm lost just like you" He said and gave her the quarter.
"Th-thanks mister" Flaky said and gave him a small smile.
"Your welcome, now why don't we go back to my house for the night" He said.
"What! No! I can't! I have to get bac-wait, I don't have a home" Flaky said and the strangers smile disappeared. He shouldn't be surprised, most of the kids he picked off the street didn't have a home too, but this one seemed different. Flaky began to cry some more, remembering she was orphaned.
"It's late why don't we go to my house?" The stranger suggested.
"N-No! I don't k-know you!" Flaky said knowing the first thing about stranger danger.
"My names Flippy, now were not strangers anymore okay?" Flippy said a little annoyed.
"Okay, but I-I'm hungry" Flaky said.
"Then let's get you something to eat at my place" He said and Flaky shook her head.
"No, I d-don't wanna go!" Flaky said. "How can I trust you?" She asked and Flippy sighed.
"Can I get you something from Dusty Desserts?" Flippy asked and Flaky nodded.
"Yes please!" She said and so that's how everything got set into motion.
