Chapter Four: The New Found Power
Kenji couldn't dare touch his friend, so he ran back to Omna, hoping he could get help soon enough. He leapt through the trees with great agility, faster than he had ever gone before, knowing his friend's life was at stake. After five long minutes, he reached the small village.
"Where's Neema?" Dorna asked in a worried voice.
"She's in the field, and needs help!" Kenji shouted back urgently. "Hurry, quick! And get some others! There's no time to loose!" With that, Dorna ran to get more helpful squirrels, and Kenji darted back off in the direction of the field.
He made it to the field in four minutes, not that he was counting. He ran down the hill to where Neema was laying. He could see her chest rise and fall. Good! She's still breathing! A few minutes later, some more squirrels arrived. They loaded her onto a stretcher, and carried her to the small village by paw.
Back at the village, Neema was in a small hospital cottage, Kenji at her side.
After a few hours, Neema stirred. She woke.
"Huh? Where am I?" she asked, very confused.
"You're back in Omna, safe and sound!" Kenji replied merrily.
"Good."
"How are you feeling?"
"A little blue." When she said that, her fur turned a dull shade of blue. Kenji starred in amazement.
"You look blue too!" He exclaimed, still lookin at her fur. "Look at yourself! You're blue!" She stuck her paw in front of her face.
"My goodness! I really am blue!"
"Do that again! Say you're the color of the bed."
"I'm the color of the bed I'm laying in." She disappeared! She blended in so perfectly, that someone might have sat on her!
"Kenji, where'd Neema go?" the squirrel nurse asked very confused.
"On the bed like she was when you left, marm."
"No she's not! The beds empty!" Neema opened her eyes, which were a very pretty shade of blue. That was all you could see of her until she opened her mouth to speak.
"I'm right here, marm!" She said excitedly. "I'm normal color." She then appeared normal colored back on the bed. She had a big smile plastered on her face. The nurse stood in bewilderment.
"Oh, my." she fainted right then and there. Neema and Kenji couldn't help but laugh at her surprise.
