…let's see if I can do this
I own nothing but little Annabelle.
The air was thin and crisp in the vast wilderness surrounding her. Annabelle, eyes blank and full of anguish, watched as a deer grazed over the sweet grass. She sighed. Just imagining the feel of the soft green strands beneath her bare feet once more brought back memories she thought had left her. She still didn't understand why she wanted something so silly and pointless so badly. Maybe these types of things were the only real links to her family. Annabelle clenched her fists at her sides in anger. They were taken away from her. Looking at the deer from where she stood beneath the trees, thinking about how it had a mother to look after it until it could live on its own, infuriated her.
"It's all his fault..." she thought out loud. The deer's ears perked up in alarm.
Annabelle smiled at its sudden alarm. If only she was like the deer when it all happened….Sadly, there is no way for her to go back and fix what was done. Instead of dwelling on the past, Annabelle decides to have some fun with the now alarmed animal only ten feet away from her. She walked until she was directly in front of the deer. It sniffed the air suspiciously. Before it could react to her energy, Annabelle swiftly entered its body….
Jakes fire blazed eyes shot open as he awoke from yet again another confusing dream. He scanned the vast desert surrounding him before he began to stretch out his strong coils. The sun hasn't even begun to rise over the valley, and Jake was still too tired to travel all the way to Dirt. The town was still five miles off from where Jake was currently located. Jake hissed softly in irritation. He's been having dreams about the same girl for almost two weeks. They left him confused and, most of all, tired. Jake never got enough sleep anymore. He looked around once more and flicked his bluish tongue out to taste the air. If he couldn't sleep, he might as well eat something. He was starved.
Jake tasted something nearby….He smiled. He silently slithered through the cool desert sand, still flicking out his tongue occasionally so he could find his prey. Luckily it wasn't too far from where he was, only about fifteen feet away. But what he spotted made him stop abruptly in shock. What he had smelled in the air was actually his "brother", Rango. He was mounted on a roadrunner, looking around him like he was searching for something. Jake sighed before he moved closer so he was looming over the chameleon. Rango looked up and almost yelled out when he spotted Jakes eyes in the still darkened sky.
Jake sneered down at him. "Hello, brother."
"H-hello there, Jake." Rango stuttered out while trying not to shake as he stared into Jakes eyes.
"What are you doin' out here?" Jake asked suspiciously.
"I was out here looking for you, brother."
Jake hissed and rattled his tail gun viciously. Rangos roadrunner jumped in fear, throwing Rango off and scurrying away. Rango quickly got up and dusted his pants off absentmindedly.
"I'm not yer brother." Jake hissed at Dirt's sheriff.
"I…I know. I just got a little carried away, you know?"
Jake raised a brow. "Carried away?"
"Yeah…I guess." Rango said while he continued to dust off his pants even though they were perfectly clean.
Jake would have rolled his eyes if he could. "Why were you lookin' for me?"
"You told me you would be at Dirt in two days when you got the message about the water pipe issue. It's been four days now, Jake." Rango said. He showed four of his fingers when he spoke the last sentence for visual effect.
"I've had a few distractions along the way," Jake grumbled. "I would've arrived at your pathetic little town anyways."
"I know. It's just…this is urgent Jake. Without new pipes, we won't get water to the town."
"Do you think I'm stupid, brother? I know what pipes do. I can't help these distractions." Jake growled.
"What are they?"
"That's none of yer business, sheriff."
Rango swallowed nervously before speaking again. "S-so, are you going to come with me?"
"Yes, I'll come with you to yer pathetic little town." Jake replied dryly.
They set off once they found Rangos roadrunner, and before the sun rose. Jake forced himself to keep going even though his eyes ached to close so he could sleep once more. Rango kept in pace with Jake as he slithered to Dirt. Silence hung between them the whole way to the town. All Jake wanted to do was rest without the dreams of the girl….
Sorry it's so short. I just want to know if it's good or not first. And then I'll begin writing longer chapters. Please comment! And be truthful with me…don't butter it up!
