Chapter 1
A Little Snack
The bus came to a stop. The door opened, and Eiko hopped out. A multitude of other kids her age soon followed behind her, and eventually dispersed, all walking home.
Eiko was wearing her usual clothes, along with her small moogle backpack. She also had her flute clutched in one hand, as she skipped happily down the sidewalk. She began to play her flute sporadically; often interrupted by the occasional stop sign, where she had to look both ways before crossing the street.
She continued to hop merrily and play on her instrument, when her ears suddenly detected a certain cacophony.
"What was that?" she said, looking behind her back. "I thought I heard someone walking next to me for a second. Hm. Ah, oh well! La la la la la la!"
She persisted in her musical endeavor, not ever peering back again.
"La la la la!"
Large footsteps crept up under Eiko's blissful music notes. She could not hear them. Someone, or rather, something, to be more precise, soon intercepted her, however. The massive form suddenly seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing stasis directly in front of Eiko.
"I Quina! Quina really hungry!"
"Huh?" Eiko hesitated for a moment, just taking notice of the gigantic gourmand monster in front of her.
"My mommy told me not to talk to strangers," Eiko said.
"Quina so very hungry! Cannot take no more!"
Thus, with that last, very intelligent, grammatically correct, un- Neanderthal statement, Quina devoured Eiko in one gluttonous gulp.
