New Family Member

The fact that the little ones had several brushes with the cat already made the big inhabitants think they had a retro mouse problem. Of course Hannah and Carly were preparing for a night of recon to see if any of them were getting suspicious.

"You gotta admit now Hannah it is funny to see the cat run into the wall" Dale said to his lover. "Ok you win but let's not try to give it a concussion bad enough we had one worse that 'Steeljaw' mom and dad mentioned."

In the meantime the youngest one, Bumblebee was thinking about the stories Kup would tell him and he felt it was best not to talk about it. 'I wonder if it was little people I saw and why Steeljaw is acting weird' he thought.

Sunstreaker had been told off about cursing in front of Bumblebee "we need to take him to the vet he could have a head injury and maybe they can explain why he keeps doing that" Sunstreaker suggested. "I still think this place is haunted" Sideswipe muttered as he took the cat, placed him in his travel box. 'I wonder if we have little people living here Kup told me they are just as smart of humans' Bumblebee thought.

After the four of them left the little ones came out "well we might as well continue to see what else we need after all the big ones are gone for now" Dale suggested. "Not a bad idea, we need some sugar cubes again, some cloth and thread" Hannah replied.

"Meet back when we hear the door slam shut" Carly said. "Divide and conquer" Sam agreed. Hannah went to the garden once again to seek out other spices to put in their drink and other items the larger ones wouldn't notice. Then she heard a noise and it wasn't big it was smaller than her 'damn crickets' she thought.

Insects would try to attack them Hannah knew she had to get to the source because if it was a spider she didn't want to risk having it follow her home. 'What the hell' Hannah thought and she found a young girl with red hair in a ponytail, yellow dress and looked eight to nine years younger than her.

She was caught in a web. Thinking quickly Hannah used a lighter made by Dale to burn the webbing away. "It's coming back" the girl cried out. Hannah took out her pin blade and fought the spider and she managed to stab it in the head killing it instantly.

"Ok let's get you out of here. Who are you and where did you come from" Hannah asked getting the girl out of the web. "My name is Sari, my mom and dad disappeared from the other side of the city I have been trying to borrow without being seen and you saved me from that spider" the girl, Sari answered.

"You better come with me it isn't safe out here we have a home under this building and we do have another room" Hannah replied taking Sari. As the two of them went back to the house Hannah explained everything about Sam, Carly, Dale and herself. "So you lost your parents too" Sari asked as the two of them got inside and in time.

The other three made it back of course Hannah was still gone "wonder why it's taking Hannah so long why is it my first thought she got eaten by the cat or second thought that loony big got her" Dale muttered. The door opened Hannah entered with Sari in tow. "Hannah who is this" Dale asked. Sari hid behind her.

"Sam, Dale, Carly meet our new family member, Sari. I found her in the garden in a spiders web I couldn't leave her out there we lost our parents and all five of us are in the same boat" Hannah said. "Oh sweetie I'm sorry this happened to you" Carly cooed. She never knew the alpha female had a motherly side to her.

Dale was not sure if he was ready to be a father figure to Sari after all the four of them were ten when they fled their homes from the big people to keep them from discovering them. "Let's get you some food and we'll get your bedroom ready" Carly said taking the girl.

"We little people look after each other this is how we met" Hannah said to the two men. "I agree Hannah I know if it was me who found Sari although I can tell she's eight years old, wow we were only ten when we lost our parents" Dale said.

"We had to learn to survive on our own" Sam added. They had sympathy for Sari after all they lost the ones they cared about but in the end the four teens found each other. "Well we are going to have to take her with us" Hannah said after Carly returned to the room with Sari. "Good thing we decided to go out when the big ones left after Hannah and I gave the cat another run in with the wall" Dale said. He told Sari about their run ins with the cat of course Sari could tell Hannah was the alpha female with Dale was the alpha male.

"We have to be mindful of that cat but it is funny when he runs into the wall" Sam said. "Sari since you live with us now I am going to take you with me when we go borrowing but we have what we need for now and if anything goes missing so much the big ones will find out we are here" Hannah told her.

"So I am going to go borrowing" Sari said excited. "Yes but you will be with me because the last thing we want is the cat getting your or worse that loony big in the lab coat, his lab blows up once a week but I will say never a dull moment and don't know how we would ever have fun without him" Dale said grinning.

The heard heavy footsteps "ok we need to show you the big people Sari" Carly said as the five of them went over to the vent to watch them.

"Thanks for taking Steeljaw to the vet least he didn't get a bad head injury" Blaster said thanking the humans and Sari did get a look at the cat her new family warned her about. The little ones continued to watch "see the man with the red and blue that is their alpha male and the female with the pink hair and clothing that is the alpha female" Hannah said to her surrogate little sister.

"Have you been close to one" Sari asked as the five continued to watch. "Nothing in the traps" the red and grey man said. "Traps" Sari asked. "We know what he is using for bait and I know it looks sweet and tempting but do not enter we know how to get into the traps without getting caught besides we use hooks to grab the food while one of us keeps that tray from tipping because if it tips you're caught and it is hard to open it again" Hannah explained to Sari.

"This is why you need to go out when you are with me, Dale, Carly and/or Sam Sari we don't want the bigs to know we're here" Hannah said. "What is wrong with you Steeljaw and you running into the walls you're going to hurt yourself good if you don't stop" Blaster said to his cat. This made the little ones snicker because they knew if the cat did it then they could go out with one less worry.

Of course Sari knew she would wait until they needed things to go out again.
