Hey guys! You know what I just realized? Half of my stories say thanks to I'mNotAGoodWriter.
Well...I just realized this story is going to start the same way.
Thanks to I'mNotAGoodWriter, who gave me this idea, and let me keep it!
Well, this isn't that great, so maybe Miss Awesomesauce (see above name :D ) doesn't want her name in such a crappy story...but ah, well, she's stuck with it. :D
Let's get started!
Edit: (5/15/2020) Okay wow I was a weird freshman but yeah I couldn't leave this here undone lol also gods whyyyy was i soooo weird
The sun beat down mercilessly on the sand, hardened by heat and wind. The sun's warmth rose in waves off the cracked ground, making the very air seem to shimmer.
The viper slithered along quickly, doing her vest to avoid the heat on her tender stomach. God, Sinead thought, even as an animal it seemed she was getting scarred.
The meeting was in five minutes. And she was late. Anxiety wrapped around her and she hissed, irritated with Ned, who was now a golden eagle, for not telling her earlier.
Perhaps it was because he was busy making sure all the other birds knew he was in charge. Sinead had to give him credit, he had to work hard to make sure he alpha of the bird kingdom. All Sinead had to do was swallow her enemies and she was all set.
Everyone feared her. And so she got to be in charge.
Pausing for a second, she stared up at the sun, forked tongue tasting the dust. She was late. Damn. And if things couldn't get any worse, her stomach was burnt.
Suddenly something pounced on her, and she felt herself being lifted off the ground.
"Put me down, you fool!" She hissed, trying to decide where to strike, where to send the deadly poison that would kill her enemy...
Whatever was holding her grunted, and then dropped her. "Ouch! What did you do that for!" She demanded, her vertebra screaming in an outrage of she looked up into the handsome face of Ian, the wolf, and regretted her words.
"I only did as you said, milady." Ian said. Then he mumbled. "If you call a snake a lady."
Sinead hissed vile words at him and took off, gliding towards the selected meeting place. With Ian behind her, it was easier to keep going.
All of a sudden she again she felt Ian's sharp teeth crunch over her. "What this time?" She rasped.
"Dearie, we changed the location." The soft voice of Amy the gazelle said. Amy was beautiful, the way she floated easily over the dry sand and grass of the Sahara. Amy had gotten lucky. The rest of them... not so much.
Ian dropped her. He smiled down her, showing his sharp teeth. The sun shone on his silver-gray hair. Sinead hissed a couple profane things at him and slid away.
Amy delicately turned to Ian. "Why are you being so mean to her?" She asked, her voice soft.
Ian growled, "Because, she's a snake!"
Amy shook her small, dainty head. "Ian..." She paused. "What if it had been you?"
She looked over at Ian, who was panting, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. When he realized she was watching him, he abruptly pulled it back in.
"I...It wouldn't have been me." He finished sharply.
"Come." Amy said, taking a few steps on her slender legs, then pausing to wait for Ian. "Let's go meet up with the others.
She leapt away, effortlessly rising and falling on her fragile legs. Ian bounded after her, running just as easily.
Then it was that Amy realized that if time should pass any longer, she should not remain friends with Ian, the wolf. He had easily adjusted to his new body, and had learned to hunt quickly. With the rest of them, it had not been so easy.
She shuddered, and ran faster, leaping over a fallen log to see if Ian would be able to do it. He did, easily, his silver body rising off the ground effortlessly.
Her body shook as she ran faster, with Ian keeping pace with no difficultly.
Deftly, she turned a corner and came upon the destined meeting place, which was shaded with trees for rest.
A black panther leaped down from a tree surprising Amy, who leaped back in terror. "Hello, dear." Natalie purred.
Amy's graceful legs shook. "Uh, hi." She hadn't realized panthers leaped from trees. She would have to be more careful in the future.
Natalie lay down next to Amy and began licking herself clean. The sun shone down upon the panther, causing her sleek body to shine.
Amy looked around her at the place she now called home. The sun mercilessly beat down on the dry, waving grasses, and the wind blew, howling out its distaste to the sun, causing everything in its wake to shiver and bend with fear.
She blinked her soft brown eyes, looking at the two predators around her. "Where is everyone else?" She asked.
Sinead popped up her ugly head from some dry grasses not far away. "Here." She said. "Don't know where anyone else is." She then went back down into her small grass nest.
Amy heard the drumbeat of hooves in the distance, and looked up to see an Arabian stallion galloping towards them. The dust billowed out behind it, making it look as if it was dancing in a cloud.
The horse leaped over the same fallen log which, only a few minutes before, Amy and Ian had vaulted.
"Hello, Amy." Dan said, soft brown eyes looking down at the small bovid next to him. Then he took in Ian and Natalie, and involuntarily stepped back.
He looked at Amy trying to read her eyes.
She shook her frail head. Not now.
Dan huffed, and lowered his head to graze on some of the greener grasses. The four of them (five counting Sinead) waited in silence. Suddenly, branches cracked and someone huffed angrily. "Why did I seriously have to be a gorilla? It's not even fair at all." They all looked up, startled, to see Hamilton coming towards them, in the body of a gorilla.
In unison, they gasped, if animals could gasp, for they had not seen Hamilton...when...when it had happened. They hadn't known what he had...become.
He was leading a bunny, and perched on his back was a large tarantula. "Hello, people." He said, then stopped, and scratched his massive head, as if trying to figure out whether or not that was the right thing to say. "I, uh, mean animals."
The tarantula scurried off Hamilton's back, and looked up at the others. "I'm Madison." It whispered.
The small rabbit looked up at everyone, and started shaking when it saw the snake, the panther, and the wolf.
Hamilton leaned over and whispered something to it, which they all heard anyway. "It's ok. They won't eat you."
"Of course not." Ian said. His tongue lolling out of his mouth. "Does anyone know what happened to...wait, who's missing?"
Sinead slithered over. "Either Ted or Reagan."
The bunny seemed to realize they were all asking who it was, so it squeaked, "Uh, I'm Ted."
Amy stepped back in shock, one of her tiny hooves accidentally kicking Natalie's tender nose.
She growled.
"I'm so sorry!" The gazelle said, instincts taking over, causing her to tremble.
"It's okay." Natalie playfully batted the cervid with her paw, and she fell over.
"Careful!" Ian growled.
"Sorry." Amy said.
Hamilton reached over and picked Amy up, setting her back on her feet. "Reagan is a white rat. The problem is...she's in someone's house in a cage."
Everyone started yelling at the same time. Natalie growled, Dan tried to whinny as loud as possible to make herself heard, Ian howled, which stopped everyone abruptly.
"What?" Ian asked.
"Uh...no offense dude," Dan nickered, "But, first off, your howl sends chills down my spine, and second off, its not night, so...what are you howling at?"
"Uh...nothing." Ian growled, showing his teeth at the horse, who instinctively backed away, shaking. "Wolves can howl at other stuff besides the moon, you know."
Dan would have rolled his eyes, but horses can't, and so he contented himself with sending a burst of air through his nostrils.
"Guys!" Amy said. "We have a meeting to conduct!"
"Yes, let's get started." Ted said, still shaking slightly.
Sinead popped her head up. "I think I know how to get this stupid mouse out of the cage."
"Oh." Amy said, ignoring the viper, and flicking her silky ears forward, glancing around with an unreadable look in her eyes. "Shall the meeting come to order?"
