Jessie's POV:

The creature led me through the thick fibers and structures, slowly moving away from where I came from. My mind buzzed with a thousand questions but I had no way to ask them. So instead I settled on just looking at this person. It looked different from me, though I truly enjoyed looking at it. Its head fur did not hang low like mine and its body was not curved in any especially obvious way. I remembered the creature with the thing covering its head fur had been the same in those respects. There for I concluded that this creature and I were different on fundamental levels. If that were the case, there may also have been a logical explanation for my compleat attachment to it. It could not be this way with all members of my species or I would have felt it with that other creature. There for there must have been somthing special about this one.

I was amazed when we came to an open place in that thicket. I could see the sky clearly for the first time. Billions of points of light hung suspended in a great dark purple and black dome. The entire landscape was lit up by a great orb of shining white stone up above. The over all effect beautiful and aw-inspiring. In the middle of this open space was a tall structure made of white. It was rather odd in that it changed colors in some places and had fibers from the thicket we had just come from on it. In some places it was clear with a grid across it. From these clear placed, light seemed to be shining. It was not flickering or changing color like the energy though. It dawned on me that this must be the creature's dwelling. It made sense the more I thought about it. It was silly to not have a dwelling with glowing energy and thick fibers with sharp barbs on them out in this world. The fact that this person had a dwelling made me a little sad though. Did I ever have a dwelling? I couldn't remember having one or ever seeing one. For that matter I couldn't remember much of anything before I woke up with the energy and the pain.

Then the person spoke to me again. I may not have been able to understand what it said, but I loved to listen to its voice. I also watched it move its upper limbs. From where they indicated I could tell that it was talking about the dwelling. As it spoke it led me to a panel on one side of the structure with a golden handle of some sort. It twisted this handle and opened the panel, leading me inside. It was hard to take in everything in this place at the same time. Light seemed to be coming from everywhere at once. I had up untill this point only ever seen light in the form of painful glowing energy. This light however, was warm and inviting. In fact, everything about this place seemed to be warm and inviting. The walls were colored white and gold in an ascetic design. All along these were hung images of the person leading me along with other beings I had never seen before. I wondered how they came to be there. Under my feet felt particularly soft because fabric of some sort was spread across the ground. The ground itself felt smooth and cold, not unlike the gray maze. However, this ground was white and divided up into equal sized squares. This place seemed very large as I could see passage ways branching off in all directions. I promised myself that I would explore all of them later.

The person spoke shortly to me again and led me down one passage in particular. It was only a short walk but it was made to seem longer by the wonderful smell coming from ahead. It was the same kind of smell that had attracted me to the first creature's much smaller dwelling. The feeling of need and pain in my middle returned with a vengeance. We arrived at a new room where colorful objects of all shapes and sized lay upon raised surfaces which ran along the walls. In the center, a raised platform stood with nothing on it at all. It seemed to be made of the same substance as the tall structures out side. In front of this platform stood structures whose purpose seemed to be holding people up while being sat upon. It was very clever to have these. The person led me to one of these and sat me upon it. Then it made a motion with its upper limbs which clearly translated to "stay there". I did so as it moved around the room, grabbing this and that from the raised surfaces along the walls. Eventually, it set a large, round, deep basin full of dark purple spheres connected by green and brown fibers.

I sat there staring at them for a little while, not sure what to do next. The person spoke again, drawing my attention away from the things in the basin. Its face had a new expression on it which took me a moment to translate as confused. It then reached forward with one of its upper limbs, grasped one of the spheres with its digits, and pulled it free of the fibers attached to it. Then the sphere was brought to the person's face, towards and into its open mouth which closed behind it. I could see the jaw opening and closing, obviously using it sharp bones inside to crush the objects. Then, after a few moments, the now throughly mashed object was sent down the being neck by a contraction of the muscles. Then the person indicated I do the same. I mimicked its motions exactly and was amazed by the new sensations reported by my tongue. No doubt this is what it was used for. I severed every moment of holding and mashing the object in my mouth before sending it down my throat. At once I reached for another and then another. I continued until there was nothing left except the green and brown fibers in the basin. The feeling of pain in my middle had lessened somewhat but was still not gone.

The person, who had sat there watching me the entire time, had its mouth hanging open in an expression I now know to be shock. I didn't know it at the time, but I had just eaten several pounds of grapes in under a minute. I copied its expression, opening my mouth to the same degree as it. It abruptly closed its mouth and I did the same. A new expression changed then. The corners of its mouth turned up, its lips parted, and its front teeth were exposed. The expression looked very nice on its face and, unconsciously, I found myself copying the expression. This only seemed to make the person's lips part further untill its teeth opened and it let out a loud deep sound which seemed to be an expression of pure joy. It said something then, though I still could not understand, but its expression remained unchanged. It continued to speak as it rummaged around in a containment unit I had only just noticed standing against one wall. Cold air was coming from it in waves. When the person finally turned around it held in its had a box with rounded edges and a picture of some pink substance. It took off the top of the box revealing the same pink substance depicted on the box. The person then produced two implements consisting of small, shallow ovals attached to a long handle. The person held one of these in one of its upper limbs with its digits and passed the other to me. Then, reaching forward with the implement, it scooped up a large amount of the substance. Then the substance and implement were brought into the person's mouth. It made sounds of satisfaction and removed the implement from its mouth. I noticed that the pink substance was gone.

I followed its example and found that this pink substance was the most delicious thing ever. I found I absolutely loved it. I couldn't get it into my mouth fast enough. All the while the person was talking to me but even if I could have understood it, I would not have been paying attention. I was far too focussed on eating this wonderful pink substance. I should have known it was too good to be true. All of a sudden out of no were great pain split my head in two. My brain ached like nothing I had ever felt. Again I was dimly aware of the person speaking again but I was too focused on the pain to even pay attention. Then something happened that took the pain away in no time at all. The person had placed the ends of his upper limbs on ither side of my head and was now looking deep into my eyes. All I could do was look right back at his eyes totally absorbed the their beautiful blue shade. The pain was gone now, but a new feeling overtook me. It was hot even burning. An overwhelming desire or craving raced through my blood. I wanted nothing more than to grab onto this person and never let go. I still don't know how but I resisted it, knowing somehow that I should not.

Then the person looked up abruptly at a circular device hanging hight on the wall. It was about a foot in diameter and had twelve symbols, each equally spaced from one another. From the center there wer two artfully made pointers one much longer than the other. At that moment both of these were pointed at the symbol at the top of the circle. The person said something and gripped my shoulder, leading me away from the food area. It brought me up a set of steps one building one on top if another leading onto a new set of halls and turns. We walked passed several panels like the one we had entered the dwelling through untill we came to on in particular. He lead me inside a room that was dimly lit with white walls and strange looking objects. Each probably had its own particular purposes, but what those might be were questions for another time.

The person drew from one of these objects a garment of cloth which seemed to have been made for the upper body. This one however was particularly long as to hang down to just above the joints in the middle of my lower limbs. The person took off the garment it had given me earlier and helped me put on the new garment. I though it may have touched my bare skin a bit more than necessary, but I had no real idea if that were true or not. Once the new garment was on me, the person led me to a long framework with a mattress and coverings. It looked soft, a though with was verified when the person laid me down upon it. I watched as he made his way to another frame-work where he sat and looked in my general direction. It took some time but eventually passed into a deep sort of resting state known as sleep. I had no idea why he needed this rest. I felt perfectly awake and there was plenty to do.
