Part II
It was dark and misty. The fog was starting to clear as the sky began to change, it became an explosion of orange, and pink and purples as the rays of the sun could be seen from over the hills. Dawn was approaching, everything was utterly silent, and all except for the slight breeze that passed by rustling the leaves as it went.
The breeze flowed everywhere as it passed the castle to which the gummi's inside called Gummadoon. It flowed through every window and door, but particularly went in one door that was left wide open probably from last night as it went through the iron bars and touched the slumbering girl.
Hitomi felt the ice breeze and it made her shiver as she began to stir and awake. She still had her eyes tightly shut but she could hear something cackling in the background as she opened her eyes to see she was in a dark, cold prison with only a torch giving off its light. She began to sit up, whimpering as she placed her head in her hands to stop it from pounding. Once she was sure her head had stopped pounding she stood up and began to take in her surroundings.
Her cell was dark, gloomy, freezing and slightly damp due to the mist. She looked at the shadows in her cell and dared not think what lurked there when she felt her legs starting to give way she grabbed hold of the wall for support. As she looked around Hitomi could see two guards sleeping peacefully near her cell as she scrambled her way over to the door. When she was close to them, Hitomi almost screamed in fear, panic and shock when she looked at the guards.
They were not human but strange looking dressed bears. After recovering from her shock and identifying the guards, she put her hand through the iron bars and grasped the padlock, with a little bit of force she pulled the padlock down breaking into two. Through breaking the padlock it gave off a loud, but small screech to which one of the guards heard as he started to wake.
Hitomi didn't wait for him to wake up as she ran down the corridor like lighting till she ran up the stairs and collided into Councillor Berryboum. She took one look at him before screaming into his face and continuing her escape down the corridor.
Councillor Berryboum was confused at first to why the girl screamed at him when she saw him but was quick to act as he ordered the guards to go after her. By this time Councillor Wooddale had joined him as well as Sir Plucki, Sir Blastus and Sir Gumlittle who followed his orders and chased after the girl leaving Councillor Berryboum to question the guards of her escape.
The knights were chasing after Hitomi as she ran down several corridors and jumped over many walls, which they didn't think, was possible for a human to jump.
They thought about throwing ropes at her to tie her up, but the way she was jumping all over the place they would just miss her, they also thought her to be very agile for her age as she continued to race about the place till they eventually cornered her into a dead end.
Hitomi could see she was trapped and began to fear the worst, as the knights began to close in on her, as well as the Councillors who had now joined them. She began to back against the nearest wall till she was in a form of a ball as her eyes started to glass over and spill from her eyes.
The gummi's who were closing in on her stood there confused as to why this girl was so petrified of them and yet none of the other humans were.
"Who are you" cried out Hitomi and then in a whisper "I've got to be hallucinating"
The gummies stood there were astonished by the girl's answer but still proceeded to go forward when she raised her head they stopped again as they could see tears streaming down her face.
Hitomi repeated her question again, as one of the gummi stood forward from the rest of the group and answered her question, introducing them one by one and asking her name. Hitomi still didn't trust them, but instead looked to be getting more scared of them, however the gummi on the other hand still didn't trust Hitomi but decided to tolerate with her.
It took the gummies a long while before they managed to drag Hitomi indoors where she eventually calmed down, as the gummies began to ask her questions.
At the end of their conversation of questions, the Councillors left to go back to the duties, whilst the knights went to the training yard taking Hitomi with them.
Whilst they were walking to the training ground, Hitomi looked to be in deep thought, both worried and concern. The reason being is that when she mentioned all these strange country such as Japan to them, they didn't have a clue as to where it was and she feared that she might never be able to get home. These thoughts kept going through her head when they entered the training grounds as Hitomi made her way over to the benches as to watch them train. She sat there for a few minutes just watching them train when she grew bored as she unzipped her bag and pulled out her CD Player. For a moment or two she felt relaxed and at peace, with nothing to worry about when her bag dropped of the edge of the bench disconnecting the cable connected to her CD Player as a wave of music could be heard all over Gummadoon. She quickly grasped her CD Player and stopped it from player and prayed that no one heard it but it was too late as she could see the knights making their way over to her till they stood in front of her.
"What was that noise?" said one of the gummi knights.
"Um, hehe, well it was my CD player" said Hitomi laughing nervously and turning red with embarrassment.
"CD Player" they all said confused and puzzled.
Hitomi decided to bring out her CD player and to show them since they didn't know what one was as she handed it to Sir Plucki.
Sir Plucki took the CD Player in his paws and examined it, and then accidentally pressed the play button and once again the music blasted out so everyone could hear it. He dropped the CD Player in his bewilderment as Hitomi dived to the floor and caught it just as it was about to have impact with the ground.
"Phew", said Hitomi letting out the breath she didn't know she was holding.
She was now laid out on the ground with her CD Player in her hands and now the centre of everyone's attention, particularly Sir Plucki's.
"Perhaps you would like to explain what the CD player does," said Sir Plucki.
Hitomi got up and then in detail described what a CD player is and does. After her description Hitomi was taken inside so that hopefully she wouldn't draw as much attention to herself.
