Chapter 4
Haru turned around in her bed and hugged the blanket tightly while trying not to wake up from her deep sleep. Her body felt so heavy and tired, and she really wanted to sleep some more. But she couldn't remember going to sleep at all, and she couldn't even remember that she had gotten back to the Hotel with Hiromi when they had walked from the café they had been at.
"Hiromi?" Haru said and waited for her friend to answer her, but it didn't seem like someone were going to answer her at all. In fact it felt like she was all alone.
She opened her eyes and looked around the room she had been sleeping in. Haru was surprised when she saw that she had no idea where she was, and that instead of the clothes she had been wearing she was now wearing a shirt that was too big for her, but it was more comfortable to sleep in than the clothes she had been wearing.
It was a small room with a small wooden table beside her bed, a window, a stone oven on the other side of the room, and beside it was a dark blue chair that looked very comfortable.
Haru quickly got up from the bed, but she didn't come far before she fell down on it again. "What's happening?" She said to herself and placed her hands in her face, tried to think what had happened to her the other day.
The memories slowly came to her bit by bit. She had walked with Hiromi and almost got hit by a truck, but then she got saved and some strange mouse girl had spoken to her in a weird dark place, and now it seemed like she was been kidnapped or something. At least one thing was sure, and that was that she had no idea where she was or who had brought her here.
She had been so focused on what was happening that she hadn't noticed her strange body. She looked at her hands and saw that it was covered in brown fur, and touched her head and face and felt that her face was also covered in fur, and touched her now long pointed nose. Her ears had changed too and were now long round mouse ears and were on top of her head instead on the side of her head where they belonged.
Her whole human body had changed and was now a small mouse body instead of a human. And right now she felt so lost and confused.
Then she remembered the necklace that had been given to her from the female mouse and felt that she now was wearing it around her neck. "I wonder what it does besides turning humans to mice." She said to herself and took a closer look at it, and wondered if it could turn her back to a human again somehow.
It was a nice necklace when she looked closer at it, and looked like a normal piece of jewelry. "As long I'm positive I'm sure it will be fine!" She thought and slapped her hands in her face, realized that she had started to be too negative to the situation.
The door to her room opened and she saw a mouse enter it. It was a female mouse with a maid uniform, but she didn't look scary to Haru, actually she seemed like a nice person to her. She was holding a green tray with tea and some food on it.
"It looks like you awake." She said with a kind big smile on her face and walked over to Haru. She sat down the tray on the small wooden table beside her bed and checked her temperature. "You look fine now, but I was really worried when they carried you here." She said and gave Haru a worried look.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine now." Haru said with a nervous smile on her face and looked down on the floor.
"That's good to hear dear, do you want some tea and sandwiches? You must be really hungry by now." She lifted up the teapot from the table and filled a cup with some green tea to her.
"Thank you very much." Haru smiled brightly, actually felt a bit hungry when she mentioned it. "How long have I been asleep?"
"You have only been sleeping for a day my dear." The mouse said and handed her a cup and plate with sandwiches.
"A day?" Said Haru a bit shocked. Her friend must be worried about her right now and wondered where she was. Maybe she had contacted her mother and told her that Haru was gone. She started to eat on one of the sandwiches she had been given by the female mouse.
Her mother must be worried sick right now, but it wasn't much Haru could do about it the way she was now.
"Thank you very much for everything….uuumm…." Haru said unsure, didn't know what the mouse's name was.
"I'm so sorry, you can just call me Mrs. Judson." She said to Haru, still smiling gently to her.
"I'm sorry too for not telling my name sooner." Haru said and blushed a bit embarrassed. "Just call me Haru."
"Then I will go down and tell them that you have woken up, and if you don't mind I will find you some new clothes you can wear." Mrs. Judson said and started to walk towards the door.
"Thank you very much! I hope I'm not a bother." Haru said and before the door was closed.
She sighed and finished eating, wondered a bit about those that Mrs. Judson was talking about were, but it seemed it was those who had carried her here when they found her.
"Maybe they could help me." Said she to herself and laid down in the bed while waiting for them to come.
It just took a few minutes before Mrs. Judson came back with two male mice with her.
"It's nice to meet you young miss, I'm Basil of Baker Street, and this is my partner and assistant David Q. Dawson." One of the male mice said and pointed at Dawson.
"It's nice to see that you were alright, we sure were worried about you when you suddenly appeared from nowhere" The other mouse said who name was Dawson.
"Thank you very much for saving me and my name is Haru by the way." Haru said and bowed her head a little to show her gratitude.
None of the three mice looked like they wanted to harm her, so Haru decided that she could trust them. She wasn't that surprised that she was rescued by mice either, since in the end she was one time kidnapped by cats and rescued by some too. She smiled and took a closer look at them.
The one named Basil was a slender mouse, with light brown fur. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a green necktie, some dark brown pants and black shoes with spats.
The other one named Dawson was a plump little mouse with a blonde mustache. He was wearing a white shirt with a red vest over it and a blue bow tie and also a gray jacket. Some gray pants and shoes too.
"It's a very interesting necklace you have young lady." Basil said and walked closer to her. "I think I have seen it before somewhere…" He got a thoughtfully expressed in his face while looking at it, trying to remember where he had seen it.
"Is that's so?" Haru looked down at it, wasn't sure what to answer since she just got it and couldn't even remember have taken it on.
"Let's talk about that later then, I'm sure she doesn't want to get lots of questions from you right now Basil." Dawson said.
"I see, and then I will not bother her with my questions." Basil said a little offended of what Dawson said.
"Its fine, I'm pretty fine now after resting a little, so I don't mind anything." Haru said after seeing that Basil got a little offended.
"Now it's time both of you get out so the girl could change her clothes." Mrs. Judson said who had been standing there with some new clothes for Haru. "Or do you want her to walk around with what she is wearing now?"
Haru looked down and realized that she wasn't wearing any pants and her face got a bit red. "I wouldn't mind getting some clothes on." She said embarrassed.
Mrs. Judson gave the clothes she had to Haru. "It's just some old clothes I found, but it's better than nothing, the clothes you had was pretty wet and dirty so I'm going to wash them for you." She said with a smile.
"Should we take our leave then Basil?" Dawson said and looked at him.
Before Basil could answer they both were pushed out by Mrs. Judson. "Just take your time dear!"
And then Haru was left by herself in the room before she knew it.
She took a look at the clothes Mrs. Judson had found to her and saw that it was long black skirt and a plain white shirt. "I guess this will do right now." She said to herself and started to change into it.
