I smiled in my sleep, stirring slightly.
"Kiz, wake up," a desperate voice was saying.
"Mmmmm," I said happily, not knowing what was going on.
"KIZ!!"
"Huh?" I woke up with a jolt then.
It was Alex. My norn boyfriend. But of course, I was now a norn, so the species difference..well, wasn't a difference anymore.
"What's wrong? Or are you just waking me up?"
"Kiz...it's awful," Alex looked worried.
I waited patiently. And waiting patiently is good for me, since as a human I was very, and I mean VERY, impatient...well anyway:
"Kiz, your cousin...Ruby..."
"What?" I was alarmed. "She's..she's not dead, is she? Because if she is..." I got up, worried, and started pacing around the desert island Alex had taken me to.
"No, no no. She's not dead. I hope not..." Alex didn't look so sure. "She's missing, that's all."
"That's just as bad!!! Eem very worried!" I stoped. "Did I just say 'eem?'"
"Uhh..yeah."
I shrugged. "Let's go back for help. I began to sweat. And since I had fur, things began to get very hot.
"Kiz, please don't worry. I'm sure she's fine. Anyway, you even said it, she was getting annoying..."
I looked at him with my big blue eyes. "Alex," I said softly. "Alex, Ruby's my cousin. She may be annoying, but I do love her."
"And I love you."
"What?" then I smiled. "Right back at ya." I kissed him. "Now please, can we look for her?" He nodded as we walked to the submarine, and we eventually arrived by the sub bay cave on the other side. We saw Z, Ruby's sister.
"Oh, Z!" Without thinking I threw my arms around him. "Z, are you OK?"
"Yeah. Just worried. I mean, where is she? Ruby, I mean..."
"Who knows," Alex sighed.
"I've already asked all of the other norns. They haven't seen her." Z told us. "She's just...nowhere, and I never thought I'd say this, but I miss her so much!"
"Yeah, me too...this world is causing a few problems for us, huh..."
Z nodded. "Maybe...maybe we should go back. To Earth."
"Hello, if we could do that we'd have done it days ago. We're stuck. But it's not all bad." I grinned at Alex.
"Yes, it is..." Z glanced over at Sparkle, who was with Joe.
"Do you think that's why she left?" I nodded over at them.
"How do you know she's left?"
"I'm just assumming...but do you think? Well, let's think. Where would she go?"
"She's a norn now. She's changed in more ways than one." Z pointed out.
"Oh, let's just go..." I walked off with Alex and Z right behind me.
"Sparkle! Have you.."
"Seen Ruby?" she interrupted. "Nope. Z just asked me. I haven't seen her since yesterday, anyway..."
"Wait, I hear something..." And I could. It was very, very distant, but I could spot it a mile off. It was peircing, and deadly, it sounded like...Ruby's scream.
