Yay! I loves you all for your comments!
BTW: HEY! I reread chapter one. NO SPELLING ERRORS. So yeah. Just to say, don't make criticism unless it makees sense.
Note to NutMeg: Sure, I'll draw you some piccies. E-mail me with what you want. n_n Just as long as you don't mind me putting them on my Side7 as well. _____________________________________
Using a halved acorn, hollowed out, that Pashmina and Penelope had just found outside, they tipped water gently into the poor little hamster's mouth.
Most of the water flowed out of the hamster's mouth, dribbling in cold, wet drops down her ebony fur, and dripping onto the floor, but suddenly the hamster's eyes opened, she started choking, and sat up in a flash. Her tiny forepaws wentbefore her mouth and she hacked some more, then rubbed her paws together. "Water, please." she asked, her voice raspy and quiet. "For the love of Gaia, water."
All silent, speechless, they all sat there, staring at the hamster sitting on the floor, grooming herself, and Boss quietly filled her another acorn of water. Handing it to her, she took it, paws shaking, and put it to her lips, drinking it slowly, then gulping the last few crystal drops, releasing an "aaaah!" after every drop was swallowed, and she blinked, and looked hungrily at the water basin and just said one word. "More."
"Who are you?" asked Hamtaro, eyes and ears drooping in concern for this midnight ham-ham. She gazed at him, while waiting for her water, and said another candid response.
"Name? Project 77809493. Nicknamed Morpheous." She rubbed a paw across her face, smoothing out her in-need-of-grooming fur.
"I think we'll just call you by that Mor... Mor-see-us name," Hamtaro said, sweatdropping at her choices of titles.
"Morpheous." Morpheous said. "I'm a cosmetic and medical tester." The ham- hams all stood there, more confused and mystified than before, and Boss handed Morpheous some more water, which she drank down quicker than before. "Food, c'mon, food."
Oxnard's eyes shifted back to his stash of sunflower seeds, and reluctantly he got three or four out and brought them to the rather demanding girl. Mumbling something that might have been a thank you, she shelled a seed in her jaws and started eating the inside, saving the shell for later.
There was silence as they watched Morpheous eat her seeds, centres first, then shells. While she was crunching the last shell, Bijou took a deep breath, then asked a question. "Who iz your owner, Morpheous?"
Morpheous cocked her head to the side. "Don't take me back to them."
Bijou frowned. "To hoo?"
Morpheous's eyes went wide and she curled her paws into little fists. "Those men, and women, in the white coats, with syringes, and drugs, and lipstick, and all that crud they pumped into me!" She grabbed Panda, who was closest, by the shoulders and shook him. "Dear god don't send me back!"
"Heke?" asked Hamtaro, tilting his head a little to the side. "People? People did bad things to you?"
"Yes!" cried Morpheous, looking back at Hamtaro over her shoulder. "Human, they're the devil! They're evil! Those men in the white coats injected this blue stuff into my best friend...." Her voice dropped, low and ominous, as she waved her arms in emphasis. "His bloody eyes exploded an hour later like Pop Rocks in freakin' Pepsi!"
"Humans would do zhese things? Why?" Bijou asked, all the ham-hams concerned.
Morpheous then said one thing, eyes wild, her voice a low growl. "For SCIENCE..."
