Sally sighed as she started to cook. Her mind was filled of worry about her boys. Sighing, the 96 girls walked to there tables as one of them pushed Ned to the kitchen. He was still strapped the bed, but this time had a muzzle type thing for biting the head chairman. The girls sat at there tables as one pushed ned to his part of the table next to sally. She setted him down as she walked beside him waiting for him to stay thank you or something to hear her father's voice. Yet, nothing came. Not a single word left from his lips as his eyes just started at the wall before him narrowed.
"Ned, What do you say?" Sally ask as she looked at her daughter with a 'Sorry for this,' look. Still ned said nothing. All he did was toke a deep breath and just stared.
"I'm sorry Sweetie" She said as her daughter walked over to her mother and gave her a hug, so as a kiss and went off to her seat. She then started at ned as he seemed to be staring back at her. She really missed his blue eyes, but everyday they seemed to be a different shade.
"That wasn't like you ned, usually you would smile and say thank you but now, you just don't say anything. Whats wrong?" She sighed as she looked at him and then back at the table. She missed his voice,his smile, his touch, mostly everything. Since jojo has been gone it seems that all of the goodness in life is just a dream. Ned coninuted to stare at her. His eyes seemed to be screaching something. Something that he needs. He knew that sally held the key to his freedom and now he wants it. Maybe he can get one of his girls to do it? or he can just sweet talk her, but then again, how on earth is he going to let her put the key into the lock without being read? His thoughts over token him as his daughters seem to just pass by without there 12 seconds. Sally moved from the table as she grabbed her plate and threw away neds untouched food. He hasen't eaten in weeks and his body is getting way to skinney. Next thing she might know he might be able to get out and do something stupid.
The day went by pretty fast as ned was sent to the living room to watch some Tv. His eyes still didn't leave his wife as he tried to figure out where it would be hiddin. Mostly under some of her fur or in her hair. He growled behind his muzzle as one of his daughter looks at him. He looked back at her as some how his eyes started to soften, she had the look jojo gave him when he was concerned about him. Quickly, he turned away. How can he stare at someone like that when they remind him of someone who he dearly lost. A soft whimper came from the mask as he started at out of the window.
The rain Pounted on the windows as the lightning struck. Ned Snapped his head forward as he woke up. He dozed off. Shaking his head to the side he was still in the living room. They probably didn't want to wake him, he touched his head as he rubbed his head. What? He looked down at himself as he smiled he was free! finally! after weeks stuck to that thing with the straight jacket. He looked down with a sigh as he still had the muzzle on, but something else was cold against his body. A collor? your kidding right? He growled as he struggled with it. It hummed as it made him sleepy. He tugged on it more as he was now to his knees. Then a soft voice came into his ears. Sally? Is she singing? He turned his head tiredly as the humming stopped.
"And someday you'll know That nature is so This same rain that draws you near me Falls on rivers and land" she sang as she put her finger tips on the cold, dripping glass.
" My Poor jojo. Please, I beg of you, please come back to us. We're missing you, ned as gone insane and i don't know how much i can take. "

Jojo crept around the woods as his stomach turned. He hasen't eaten for what seems like weeks. He looked around as it seems that the more he walks the more it gets more unformillior. The trees seemed to whisper to him, but how can this be real? Trees don't talk. He toke a deep breath as he put his hand on a tree and rested. ' I must really be getting sick' he said to himself as his eyes started blurr. The wind whistled against the trees as the moonlight shined across jojos plae face. He hunched over again as he vomited. This is just a faze, he'll get through it. His mind started to turn into a fog as he slowly got down to his knees. Everything started to hurt as he began to shake.
"W--whats wrong with me" He stammerd as he was now laying on his stomach. His heart beated fast as his body denided to keep down. His eyes were about to close as he dark figure came infront of him.
"Dad?" he asked as he went into a deep sleep.
The sun reached the forest as the birds didn't even bother to chirp. the clouds over head seemed to run away from the bright light. Jojo sturred abit as the sun hit its magitizing windows as he gave out a small yawn.
"It's about time you got up " The stranger said as she started to make breakfast. Jojo slowly opening his eyes as his stomach settled down. He groaned as he softly sat up and walked to the table like everymorning.
"Whats for breakfast mom" He asked with a slight yawn
"Mom?" She chuckled as jojo looked up.
"Why aren't the chairs moving where am I?" His voice started to break as he looked around. It looks like a very old cottage. It's windows were not that much to look at as the drapes on there were cut and shredded mostly by the look of cats somehow. Wild cats probably. He shoke his head as he really didn't want to think about that now. The Cottage was made out a certain woods he never seen before. the fridge was unwillingly close to the to the stove and instead of just one there was a top stove over another. The fire crackled as it kept the cottage warm from the cold night. He then stared at the stranger. He knows for sure he hasen't seen her before. He looked down as his stomach made a smal growl. He shushed it as his face became red. He looked at the Stranger as she chuckled
"Hungry little one?" She walked to the table and setted a plate of eggs and bacon for him and herself. Jojo looked at the who. She looked like a certain cowgirl. Her hair was in braids as her fur was cut to look like she was wereing vest, mostly like neds, other then that she looks just like his father. He shoke his head as he started to work on his breakfast.
"The names Chrystena Cristler" She smiled as she started on her breakfast looked at her as he smiled. The eggs were wonderful and the bacon was delightful. She turned on the Tv as it went straight to the news
'Breaking news, The son Of the Mayor Ned Mcdodd is reported missing. It has been a month now and we are finally starting to believe that he might be dead.'
Quickly, Chrystena shut it off.
"That poor mayor" She said as she toke a bite of her eggs. she looked at jojo as she saw a sadened face.
"Whats the matter?"
Jojo looked up suprised. "I-- I'm Fine" he stummerd as he toke another bite of his eggs as he stared back at the tv.
"Oh, Okay.. Tell me young one, whats your name?"
"J--Jacob" He lied as he sat up and started to take his plate away.
"Well, Jacob welcome to the woods"
Jojo sighed as he looked out of the window. His brown eyes started as the trees swayed. 'But, My real name is Jojo Mcdodd'
