Hi! Back again! Sorry about the last chapter! Like I promised Juelene shall be in this chapter and you already know the hops and skips Eep did when she was following Guy and I don't know how to describe that small part! Sorry! On with the story!
When I jumped from the small opening I found a light. It looked like the sun actually. I crept closer to it and just when I was about to touch it I flinched from the heat and jumped back a couple of inches from it. Then I crept closer to it again and then I heard someone behind me. I got in defensive mode and flipped the person over my shoulder. I saw that it wasn't a person but a hog! I quickly grabbed a nearby rock and held it above my head to strike but at the last moment it held out hands that looked like a regular persons and then I faltered in my grip and lowered the rock down for a minute but then the creature moved again and it turned into a boy. Brown hair, brown eyes, slightly tanned skin with animal markings, weird looking feet, white/grey pants, an orange thing around his waist and brown coverings on his fore arms is what I saw. I lost my grip on the rock and dropped it on his foot which made him scream. I hastily covered his mouth to shut him up since I wasn't supposed to be outside. Unfortunately he grabbed a stick and hit me upside the head with it. I let out yelp of pain and let him go. Then I pushed the boy in response to his actions. Then the light went out and our surroundings quickly got dark. The stranger tried to get to the light but I blocked him from it and claimed it as mine. Then the most unexpected thing came out of his mouth.
"Please. I hate the dark."
I gasped in shock but moved aside. He bent down over it and relit the light. I gaped in awe.
"What is it?" I questioned.
"Fire." He said.
"Hi, Fire!" I cooed.
He laughed.
"It's not alive." The boy said.
"But you said it was dying!" I retorted.
The boy shrugged and said, "Sorry."
"Who are you anyway?" He asked.
"Eep." I replied.
"Who are you?" I said.
"I'm Guy." He spoke.
"Guy?" I repeated.
"And this is Belt. Cook, conversationalist, and also keeps my pants up." He introduced.
He took the orange things and it gave a small wave of the hand. Then Guy walked over to a hog that looked like he did a few minutes ago.
"This is my little sister, Juelene." He whispered with a warm smile.
"She has the same name that my younger sister's sister has." I responded.
Then Guy suddenly sprung up to his feet and pulled out a weird object and Belt did the same. Then they got down on their knees and used the strange object to listen to the ground.
"Okay, we have to leave now!" Guy said.
"Why?" I replied.
"Because we'll all die if we stay here." He explained.
"First the ground is gonna shake, then she Earth splits open, fire, lava, and not to be to dramatic but, AH AH AH AH AH!" He spoke as he made wild gestures to emphasize his point.
"Come with us." He said as he held out his hand.
I was going to go with him but then I thought of everyone at home.
"I can't." I said.
" If you're ever in trouble then call me with this." He stated as he handed me the strange object he was using.
I tried it out and lightly laughed and said thank you but he was already gone. I went to go back to the cave but when I turned around my father was there.
"Dad!" I yelped in suprise.
"Are you hurt?" Dad asked in worry.
Then he started looking over me to make sure that I wasn't hurt but I pushed him off.
"I'm fine. I went out on my own!" I announced.
"You what?!" Dad said.
I was about to say something but I was interrupted when the owl-cat howled. Dad rapidly grabbed me and we hung off a low branch.
"You didn't even let me talk." I said.
"You're grounded." Dad claimed.
My head dropped.
It was already sunrise when me and my father were walking home. I was very angry. I kicked a nearby rock and it almost hit my father. The others spotted us and ran over to make sure we were okay.
Sorry about the chapter being so short and even though it didn't switch to Juelene's POV she was still mentioned! Hope you liked it! Bye!
