Chapter 3: Clothes Shopping
The eyass walked into this strange location. It was… Noisy. There were a lot of big creatures around, some were her height, some were bigger, some were smaller. Yet all of them looked at her as if something was wrong. Some of the bigger creatures covered the eyes of the smaller creatures, so what was going on?
She noticed everyone else was wearing strange fabrics, yet she wasn't. Outside of the blanket she had for years that she kept hidden in a cave, she didn't have any of these fabrics.
She walked by a store window, and inside were… Fabrics! There were strange, faceless molds wearing them, but they wouldn't mind her taking their fabrics, right?
So she tried going through the front door without luck, going towards a back entrance. It was trashy, sure, yet it opened. The store was big, there were fabrics everywhere, alongside those faceless molds!
So she took some of the Fabrics to try on. She had trouble at first, but eventually she found Fabrics that weren't too tight or loose. She had a black, sleeveless vest with a white undershirt, alongside dark cargo shorts. Despite everything, she looked just like everyone else did! Maybe they won't look at her funny anymore…
The bird walked back out of the back entrance with her new clothes, and as soon as she got back in the alleyway that led to the back entrance, she saw a bigger creature blocking her way. The creature wore that Red cloth around his neck, the same kind that other creature who tried to take her wore.
Immediately, the Creature lunged at her, but the bird dodged out of the way, launching an Icicle in the back of his head before running away. Who were these people, and what did they want with her?!
Though it did not end there, the bird would suddenly be jumped by two more figures, each with the red cloths around their neck. One took out a knife, while the other took out a pair of brass knuckles.
Immediately, the one with the knife tried to swipe at the bird in the abdomen, yet she managed to dodge out of the way, leaving only a small cut on her body. She then launched an Icicle into his arm soon afterwards. The creature with the brass knuckles began charging at her, but the bird jumped on and off of his back, running away from the alleyway as fast as she could.
Soon afterwards, she found herself in the city once more, though a lot more panicked, and running away from the area she was in. Some of the creatures looked at her in pure disgust, while others paid no mind, despite the fact that a child was clearly in distress.
The two figures gave chase, one being faster than the other as his hand was clutched from the Icicle. The bird, looking behind her, fired two Icicles below their kneecaps, causing them to trip over and break their legs. The bird ran far, far away from that spot, hoping the two wouldn't suddenly get back up and charge at her again.
