Deadly Fangs: Alright, so this is a little one shot I thought of last night but was way to tried to write up. It shows what happened to make Rocket all alone in the desert when he was just a little boy. It's not much but hey, now his past isn't such a mystery anymore. And now, enjoy!

"Mama! Mama, where are you! Mama!" A small childs voice cried out as he looked around, trying to find his mother. He didn't know where he was and he was scared. A small tear rolled down his hood and fell onto the sand covered ground. "Mama, help me..."

Slowly starting to roll himself forward on aching tires, the young car wandered deeper into the desert. Where did Mama go? Why hadn't she come with him when the bad men had come to their home? And where was Daddy? He didn't come home from work today and play with him. Now he was alone, afraid and hungry.

Whimpering quietly as he continued to travel through unknown territory, he looked around as he tried to figure out a way back to his town. But there was nothing that looked familiar to him, there was nothing but rocks and sand and more rocks.

Letting out a squeal of fright when he felt something brush his tire, the young car sped off in a random direction, wanting to get away from the monsters he was sure was chasing him. More tears were falling from his eyes as he drove blindly until he finally stopped several miles later, panting heavily. There were no lights anywhere in sight now but there were lots of strange sounds nearby.

Turning on his his headlights briefly, he quickly found a small cave to hide in and drove in, turning his lights off as he did so. That was how the bad men almost found him the first time, because he had the lights on to see.

Sniffling quietly as he lowered himself on his axles, he shut his eyes and tried to get some sleep while hoping his Mama or Daddy would come find him and bring him home.

XxX

"Hello? Hey there little guy, open your eyes. Come on, wake up..." A soft voice gently woke the young car from his fitful slumber. Opening his eyes with a small groan, he looked up and yelped as he saw an adult female human kneeling on the ground at the opening of the cave.

"G-go away! Leave me alone! Mama, Mama!"

"Hey now, don't be scared. I wont hurt you sweetheart...what are you doing all the way out here? Are you looking for your mommy?"

His lower lip started to tremble as he remembered what happened the day before and the tears started up again. "Bad men broke into our house last night...Mama was screaming and told me to run...now I don't know where I am or where Mama is...will you help me find my Mama?"

The woman smiled softly at the clearly upset car and nodded her head. "I'll see what I can do. Will you come out? You must be thirsty after being out in the desert all night."

Perking up at the mention of something to drink, the young car slowly rolled out of his hiding spot and watched as the woman took out a small canteen. Looking up at her while she held the canteen to his mouth so he could drink, he realized that she was a nice human, not at all like the ones he saw at the zoo. They were mean and said bad words.

"There we go, all better? Do you have a name? Mine is Kendra."

Smiling widely, the child nodded his hood as he followed the human down a hidden path between two rocks. "Daddy calls me Rocket."

"Alright Rocket, lets go to my village and see if we can find your Mama."

And there you have it! The story of how my dear Rocket came to live in a village full of humans. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember his dear Mama or Daddy, but that'll be a story for another day.

Remember! Reading + Reviewing equals one happy Deadly Fangs!
