-When Suwako woke up, she was in a very cold, dark place; so dark, that she could barely see anything at all. What she did see was a row of rusty metal bars in front of her, to her sides, and behind her. "Hello?" Suwako cried frantically, "Ibuki? Reimu? Eirin? Tewi?"
there was no answer to her calls.
-Suwako slumped, and sighed. "So I'm trapped here...undoubtidly with those armoured things." The froggy-hatted girl gripped the iron bars, and gazed into the cold, oppressive darkness that surrounded her space. Tears began to drip from her face as she thought about her friends Ibuki, Eirin, Reimu, and even Reisin and Tewi. Then she thought about that poor Cirnokurri; the girl likely didn't have much of a chance against such overwhelming behemoths, who probably had her for lunch or something. A new terrifying thought crossed Suwako's mind...
...what if they really DID eat Cirnokurri? What if they ate Ibuki? And Eirin? and Reimu?
...then they would be just like you!
Suwako blinked, and paused at that last thought. What? She asked her own mind. Oh don't play stupid with me, Suwako thought to herself, You remember good and well how you ATE Cirno! Suwako began to tear up once again, I didn't want to! I just wanted to taste her! Suwako's mind rejected this excuse, People taste things that they want to eat, dumbass. Suwako shook her head, But she's my friend! BAH! She was your little snack! Meant to be eaten up and tossed aside like a soiled rag! Suwako clasped her hands on her head, I love Cirno! if...if I controlled myself, I would have never hurt her! HEH! You DID hurt her, stupid! "NO! NO!" Suwako shouted out loud as she began to break down into tears. Go ahead and cry like a little baby! You don't deserve happiness!
Suwako's internal conflict was only interrupted by the sound of a small, scuffling noise coming from the darkness. Soon enough, Cirnokurri's unmistakable smoothe, shiny blue hair and beautiful sapphire-coloured eyes appeared before Suwako.
-"Oh thank God that at least you are alive!" Suwako wept as she rattled the cage bars in Cirnokurri's direction. "I can't take it easy when mommy and mommy's friends are trapped by big scary monsters!" Cirnokurri chirped fearlessly. "How did you escape those guys, anyway?" Suwako asked, very curious herself. "Big monsters grabbed you, and mommy, and all of your friends," Cirnokurri explained, "I was so scared, I ran away, but the monsters didn't see me easy at all!" Cirnokurri hopped on top of the cage, and plugged one of her icicle wings into the lock, causing it to unhinge and fall to the cold, concrete ground with a rusty, clattering "BANG!"
-The sound of mechanical footsteps could be heard clattering and scrambling from the shadows, as the creatures had undoubtidly heard the clattering of the metal. "We must hurry to others, easy!" Cirnokurri had urged. "If they're still around," Suwako mumbled to herself, "they must be in imminent danger." The two fled the scene before several of the armoured creatures showed up, and screamed in fury at the escape of their latest prisoner! Neither Suwako nor Cirnokurri could understand what the creatures were yelling, but they sounded like the most pissed-off monsters they had ever heard.
-"Suwaky! Hide!" Cirnokurri cried frantically, hopping into a nearby rusty metal crate. Suwako immediately jumped in as well, knowing the danger such creatures likely posed to them. As the creatures rushed by, Suwako began to slowly open the corroded yellow lid of the dark, cold box they had hidden in. "What are you doing?" Cirnokurri whispered harshly, "those monsters will eat you easy!" Suwako grinned, "I get the feeling we'll find our friends if we follow them." "Suwaky! WAIT!" Cirnokurri tried to reason with Suwako, but she quickly darted behind the creatures like a stealthy hunter stalking her prey.
(A.N: Sorry for not updating earlier. I was stressed and busy all week; I didn't even get to celebrate valentine's day w/ Alice :'(. Don't worry; we'll celebrate over the weekend.)
