A/N: Yo! ^^

Okay, so the last chapter was uber-short, I know DX , but this one will be better. Also, it will (hopefully) contribute to the plot a bit more than the last one.

And, in case there are any spelling mistakes or anything of the sort, it's because I'm riding in the back of an RV that's bouncing along the road at high speeds... I'm not always sure I'm hitting the keys that I want to. .

Oh, and review-replies! ^^

Ravenous Oranges: Hehee! That makes me so happy! ^^ A lot of the time I'm not sure if it's actually funny or not! Thank you so much for your review, and yes, in later chapters more about the moose will be uncovered!

punkymarz18: Okay, I'm going to try to be more descriptive then, okay? Thanks for the review, criticism is as helpful as compliments!

Novi Zemog: I'm actually getting around to writing these a lot more than I would have usually, because I'm so excited that I have a regular reviewer! Even if they're just little comments, I'd like to thank you for your support! They make me so happy! ^^

Wit had made it home without running into any more lamp-posts, something she thought was indeed a miracle, but by the time that she had kicked off her worn-out sneakers, dawn light was already seeping through the blinds that covered the windows. The teen plopped down on one of the stools in the kitchen, and glanced at the clock. She was still tired, even though she seemed to have slept almost the entire day yesterday, and when she noticed the time she sighed. Her parents would be awake soon, and if they found her in the state that she was currently in, nothing good would happen.

Wit reluctantly got up off of the stool, and walked into her room. She would have slept in today, anyway, so she could just pretend that she was at a friend's house for the past day. Yeah, that should work.

So, locking the door behind her and staying as silent as possible, Wit leaned against the wall and thought over everything that she had learned. She had been kidnapped, and then had awoken in a strange place with strange people who claimed that they hadn't knocked her out, then she had talked to a moose and came back here. Wit winced as trying to process everything made her head hurt, and frowned.

Trying to think about what had happened before she had been sitting in the park was near impossible. All that she could remember of that time was something white-and-brown and fluffy, but aside from that she could only draw a blank. She could remember the day two weeks ago, when she had been released from school and was finally able to relax in the summer break, and she thought she could remember going into Town this morning intent on...something, but she didn't know what.

Wit frowned. She should be able to remember more than that. She shook her head, thinking that it was only because of exhaustion.

Strange? Yes.

Did she care right now? No.

Wit dropped onto her bed and promptly fell asleep.

When she awoke, light was streaming through the blinds on her window, and she sat up. Wit was about to stand and leave her room when suddenly she realized that there was a small warm thing curled up in her lap. She did a double-take, unsure if the white-and-brown puppy was really there, or just an illusion caused by her strange brain. Reaching forward with a hand, Wit felt soft puppy fur underneath her fingertips, and she gasped lightly.

She wasn't quite sure, but somehow there was a puppy in her room, no less in her lap.

With a sudden burst of energy, Wit suddenly leaped up, grabbing the puppy's sides and awakening it when she bolted out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

"Mom! Dad!" Wit yelled, excitement clear in her voice. She raced down the hall, skidding to a halt, and stood in the archway leading to the kitchen. She held up the puppy incredulously. "You finally decided that I'm responsible to have another pet!"

To tell the truth, Wit could hardly believe that this was real. It was almost too good to be true. Could it really be happening? For all these years, her parents flat-out refuse her pets, and all of a sudden they just plop a puppy on her while she's asleep? Wit's blue eyes were wide with excitement at the thought of finally being able to take care of a pet.

Wit's mother, who was in the middle of cooking something in a skillet on the stove, turned and stared at her daughter with matching stormy blue eyes. For a moment, there was silence between the two, filled with the thin sound of gas pouring out of the stove into fire.

"Whitney... Smith..." Her mother began, and Wit's grin which she didn't know she'd had on disappeared. Nothing good happened when her mother spoke like that. "Where did you get that...?"

Wit blinked, but held her ground, like always. Whenever it came down to this, she always needed to have the last word against her mother. It was just like that.

"I didn't get her anywhere!" Wit exclaimed. "I just found her on my lap when I woke up this morning!"

"Whitney, you are going to return that dog to the store that you got it from! And then you're going to return here! I won't stand for you lying to my face like this! You obviously bought that dog somewhere! Puppies don't just appear out of thin air!" Her mother's voice raised as she continued on, glaring down at her daughter.

Wit narrowed her storm-cloud eyes, scowling at her mother, then spun on her heel and left the house, making her exit known by slamming the door loudly.

She marched down the street, heading to Town, and once she had gotten out of sight of the house she sighed and looked down at the puppy.

"But you're so cute, and you did appear out of thin air," She murmured. "How am I supposed to take you back to where I got you, if I didn't get you from anywhere?" The teenager stopped walking, petting the puppy's head for a moment, then continued walking. "I know! I'll just keep you a secret! I can take good care of you, just wait and see!" She looked the puppy in the eye, amazed at how the young creature was staring right back at her, and nodded. "I think I'll call you Laura, then."

Wit smiled down at the newly named Laura, and for a short moment, she could have sworn that the puppy smiled back at her.

The moment was over quickly, though, because all fo a sudden Laura began squirming around, the whites of her eyes showing as she looked at a point just beyond Wit's shoulder.

Wit frowned, and turned to look at whatever had spooked her puppy. She didn't see what it was, however, before her world went black, and her last thought before she slipped out of consciousness was,

'Not again...'
