I didn't went outside for anything for the entire day, I stayed indoors and shut myself away from the outside world. I was so hurt that I couldn't think straight, I couldn't listen, nor do I wanna speak to anybody. It felt like the world had ended for me and my life is over. Luckily Rachael stayed by my side during the entire day, she only leaves if she needs to use the bathroom, or take me to the bathroom.
Papa Smurf finally found out about what happened and stopped by to check up on me, he came in with Chernov and saw me on the couch with Rachael. "Smurfette?" he asked, "Are you okay?"
I didn't respond, I didn't want to.
"Mama 's hurt," said Rachael, "She won't talk to anybody."
She pressed me against her body, I in turn hugged her more tightly and bury my face deeper into her shoulder.
"What did the smurfs do to her?" asked Papa Smurf.
"Swarmed her like bees," said Chernov, "It didn't end so well."
"Is she hurt?" asked Papa Smurf.
"They didn't touch her," said Chernov, "But the emotional toll is a different story."
"I best speak to the smrufs about this," said Papa Smurf, "Will Smurfette be fine with you Chernov?"
"She'll be fine," said Chernov, "As a precaution, I have her under suicide watch."
Once again, he was being protective. Papa Smurf soon leaves as Chernov follows him out. I wound up falling asleep in Rachael's arms, and eventually slept through the entire night.
The next morning, I awoke to find myself alone in the house. For a moment, I laid there on the couch, feeling a little bit better. I don't know where Rachael or Chernov was, I was glad to finally be alone, but it was short lived. "Sleep can untangle thoughts from a stressful day." I heard Chernov's voice say.
I turned around and found him standing near his bedroom door, he shuts it behind him before approaching me, "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes," I said, "Where's Rachael?"
"She's out running errands with the smurfs," said Chernov, "Maybe helping Greedy make breakfast for the entire village."
"Speaking of breakfast, I'm not feeling hungry."
"That's a sign you're still depressed. In fact, I've got permission from Papa Smurf so I can take you on a trip to the Green Smurf Colony."
"The Green Smurf Colony? Why?"
"To show you an important lesson you need to learn. The green smurfs, well some of them, would be happy to see you."
At first I thought of potential trouble, since that's what the green smurfs were full of. I've met some of them and some told me they hate me, because I was never there for them at the crucial moments in their lives. One green smurfette I know is Dashie, the girlfriend of Rick who is one of Chernov's advisers. She was one of those green smurfette's who look similar to my old self. Her behavior was ugly as her looks, I haven't fully understood why she's so mean, all I know is that she drinks alcohol in an effort to numb her pain. Truth is, it fuels her rage instead.
"When are we going?" I asked.
"Now," said Chernov, "The sooner we leave, the less likely the smurfs here will get a chance to say goodbye."
"Can I get a chance to say goodbye to Sassette?" I asked, "Or Baby Smurf?"
"This is punishment for them," said Chernov, "Papa Smurf has everysmurf in the village to stay indoors until we're gone, no goodbye celebrations, no simple hand waving, we leave without being bothered. Got it?"
"Yes." I muttered.
"Look, even if I wanted to I still won't let you. I'm sure the smurfs we'll be fine awhile you're gone, its not like the world's going to end."
"How are we going to get to the Colony? It's far away."
"10 kilometers isn't that far if you're using a vehicle, we're going to use a smurfvee to get there."
A smurfvee is the green smurf design of the smurfmobile, instead of looking like a horseless carriage it looks so alien. Like a majority of green smurf products, its made out of solid metal. It was a beast, the smurfvee was built for war. I first saw them during my first visit to the Colony, they were large and vicious. I do not know how Chernov managed to get a smurfvee into the village, when we head outside I saw it sitting outside his house.
"I had it airdropped here an hour ago," said Chernov, "Green smurfs are more reliable than you think."
They don't use birds, they use superior technologically advanced aircraft. The huge triangular black planes they have were amazing, and the aircraft that takes off vertically and flies like a plane were just as impressive. Green smurfs rule the skies, and from the skies they can strike without warning. Chernov gets into the driver's seat as I simply got into the passenger seat next to him, I looked out into the Smurf Village before we leave and saw that it was largely empty.
The last thing I saw was the faces of smurfs in some of the windows, Chernov started up the smurfvee and we drove off. After a slow drive out of the village, we drove straight into the forest and head down a small animal trail, the performance of the smurfvee was amazing. The cab of the smurfvee muffled the sound from outside, all I heard was the drone of its powerful engine and the ruffling of turf from the tires that were kicking up dirt.
"You might wanna put on your seat belt," said Chernov, "As much as I love the forest, I don't trust it, you can get hurt out here."
I noticed Chernov was wearing a safety belt, I looked over my shoulder at the wall of the cab and saw one for my seat, I grabbed it and strapped myself in, clicking the safety belt in place. Chernov reached over to the dashboard and pressed a knob, it turned on the radio system of the smurfvee.
"This is Richard Reznov from Green Smurf Radio," said Rick's voice from the smurfvee's speakers, "Is a beautiful morning out, 22 degrees Celsius with clear skies. Today we're going to start off with an update on our 24/7 watch of Gargamel. From what our scouts have reported, Gargamel has been planning something big in the past few days. Right now he's working on a project of his at his hovel. We can't tell what contraction he's working on, but it appears to be another attempt in capturing our blue buddies. A Gargamel Watch has been issued for the Smurf Village for 48 hours, we'll keep you updated on Gargamel's activities when new information comes in."
I listened to Rick's voice as he goes on telling the latest news in the Green Smurf Colony, I was impressed on how well the Green Smurf's communicate with each other due to the Colony's large size. At the Smurf Village, information gets around from conversation or handwritten letters. It can take awhile for a message to travel to every corner of the village, but in the Green Smurf Colony any message can me delivered all over in an instant.
Reality for me in the Colony was numbing, its like being in the future. I don't feel comfortable near "computers" of what not, I don't like the noises they produce nor the heat they give off from all those little circuits live with electricity. I fear getting electrocuted from them and dying on the spot, the only things I'm fine with are smurfmobiles and typewriters.
"We're almost there Smurfette," said Chernov, "You can stop daydreaming anytime now."
I was spooked from the surprise, "That was fast." I contemplated.
"Thank me for not going any faster," grinned Chernov, "You would be terrified on how fast smurfvees go."
