Chapter 2: Fire in Thier Eyes...
The Next Day was just like any other. A normal day in Sooga. Pucca walked out of her home to greet the day with her happy demeanor and shining smile. With a huge grin she waved good-bye to her uncles and skipped off. She knew exactly where she was going ands so did everyone else.
"There goes Pucca, off to see Garu again!" People would say. They always said that.
Pucca paraded to Garu's home and cooed with affection. She looked around to see if Garu was outside but as usual, there was no sign of his presence. She walked up his steps and knocked loudly on his door. Garu, on the inside, was fast asleep on the floor next to his cat Mio. When Mio heard the loud knocking he licked Garu's cheek, awakening him. He rose up and pat Mio on the head, who in return gave him a friendly, Meow. Garu stumbled to the door and opened it. His vision cleared to reveal Pucca's face.
He gasped and closed the door. It seemed everyday this same madness would just go on, and on! He looked up, and Pucca was standing in front of him Smiling. He ran from her as fast as he could go, and the only thought going on in his head was "How long Am I gonna have to keep running? When will this misery end?" As he was running he could sense Pucca was on his tail. He sped up. He kept running and he kept running and running and running....and running.....and running....
After the chasing, the horrid chasing, Garu found retreat in a tree. Again he found himself hiding in fear with people taking his life away. He sighed. He wondered when will he be in peace? When will it all end? When will his life like this just end? He sat in the top of the tree all to himself wondering what else would happen to him today...After hours of him running from Pucca he was really tired, al least he lost her. She has been gone for hours. So with a peaceful sigh, Garu fell asleep in the treetop.
Garu suddenly felt himself being shaken. He looked down and it was Abyo looking up at him with shock. Garu quickly jumped down and looked at Abyo. He breathlessly, panted and with a red face he tried to speak to Garu.
"Garu...The Goh Rong..." He attempted to say.
Garu looked at him with dismay.
"The Goh Rong...is ....on Fire!"
Garu's eyes widened with terror at those words.
"But thats not all!..." Garu looked at him. Abyo had a terror and panic Garu had never seen before. This was a brand new emotion for them.
"Pucca....is inside!" Garu gasped and when he began to run, he stopped for amoment and remembered the false cries for attention he received from Pucca and stopped. Was this just another trick to get him to notice her? Garu looked at Abyo.
"What are you doing? We need to go!" Abyo began running as fast as he could run, and with that fear Abyo showed, Garu knew this was the real deal.
They both ran, as as they got closer and closer to the Goh-Rong, Garu began to inhale smoke and he emerged into a forest of black smoke. The entire town watched in fear as the Goh-Rong burnt.
"We tried to Get Pucca out, but There was too much smoke and we couldnt see her!" Uncle Dumpling said.
The fireman were spraying all the water the world had to offer but Satans Candy was not leaving the building. Garu looked at the blackening walls and the shattered windows and the crumbling rooftop. He imagined Pucca in there..Alone and scared and possibly dying. He looked arounf at the panicked faces and without any hesitation he bravely marched to the door.
"Garu, What are you doing?" Uncle Dumpling said.
Garu looked at all his friends and then he stomped the door down and a huge puff of smoke invaded his face. Then He ran into the building. The entire room was pitch black from smoke. But ignoring the pain and the heat...he searched for Pucca.
"Garu just whent into the burning building!" Abyo said.
"There are two children inside that building...lets hope 2 children come out." Ho sighed.
