Perfection's Shadow Chapter-4 Awake
"I said who's there?" he started to sound cautious.
Tanya rushed over to his side and held his hand to comfort him. The feeling hand gave a soft and pleasant feeling to his. "Its ok. I'm not an enemy. You plummeted from the sky! I have no idea why and you suffered third degree burns and broken bones. You were in a temporary coma and you are...temporarily..."
"Temporarily what?" he asked now calmly.
"Blind..." Tanya's voice softened.
At first he fell silent but then he gave a little smile and Tanya looked at him like we was crazy.
"You haven't answered my question yet, who are you?"
"Oh! I'm so sorry, my names Tanya. Can you remember anything? Your real name perhaps?" Tanya asked.
A minute probably had gone by since Tanya asked the question.
"No..."he replied. "No I can't remember anything."
"Ohhh...umm... How do you like the name Ayrez?" Tanya asked suddenly like they never had the previous conversation.
"I like it... Ayrez..." Ayrez smiled to where Tanya's voice was coming from. "I can't move my head back."
"Oh." Tanya gently twisted his head back. "If you can't turn your head back how did you move it in the first place?"
"Ummm...I'm really not sure." Ayrez said with questions swirling in his head, like where am I? Who am I? What exactly happened to me? I bet she knows I probably had amnesia since she asked 'Can you remember anything?'
"I'm just going to cook dinner. Besides if I don't who will?" Tanya left the room and headed down the hallway. Grabbing a pack of meat from the fridge she remembered Ayrez wasn't strong enough to eat solids yet and meat loaf would be hard to make into a smoothie, so she grabbed 5 packs of Mr. Noodles to make the cooking faster and thought 'This should be enough leftover for Baku, he eats to much...'.
15 mins later Tanya had finished cooking the Mr. Noodles separately and had put them in 3 bowls one for her, another for Ayrez and the last bowl with 3 of the 5 Mr. Noodles was for Baku. She walked to the room where they kept Ayrez and suddenly remembered she would have to get some bandages of and some towels incase of a spill.
"Do you think you can eat?" Tanya asked setting the two bowls down on the bedside table.
"I think so. What is it anyways?" Ayrez started sounding a bit rude and stubborn.
"Noodles." Tanya replied giving a little frown and put her hands to her hips. Ayrez heard her tone of voice and decided to give a little thanks, she was after all kind enough to let him stay.
"You can just swallow them right?" he asked trying to sound more polite.
"Yeah. Wait though I have to get water." She went out of the room and came back holding a glass of water with a straw for Ayrez and Pepsi Blue for herself.
Mystica: Does Pepsi Blue still exist?
"Exactly where are we and what happened to me?" Ayrez asked while Tanya was taking of some of his mouth bandages.
'Whoa! His fur is growing back so quickly...' Tanya thought. 'Hmmm. I need to change the bandages.
"Well..." Tanya began to speak. "First of we are in my tree-cabin-house whatever you want to call it, in a forest right outside of Station Square. My brother and me built this home because the city is too crowded and we had bad memories there. Actually my brother and I just woke up at the streets, we didn't know of our parents or anyone but ourselves. We somehow knew each other though... Second answer to your second question is you kind of fell from the sky, got 3rd degree burns and a lot of fur burnt off. You hit your head on a rock and that's when I think you got amnesia...
' I knew it!' Ayrez thought.
Tanya continued to speak.
"You fell into the forest and almost drowned in a river but my brother saved you. That's kinda all I can tell about what happened to you a day ago..." Tanya was feeding Ayrez through out the explanation and he had finished all of his noodles. He was extremely grateful about the noodles somehow and felt like it had been his first meal in ages even though he got one just this morning.
"Thanks. So exactly what were those commands you gave to that computer and why did you have the house hidden and neutralized of its heat?" He asked thinking 'IT HURTS TO TALK!!!!!!!!!!'.
"Well this secret government military G.U.N. was in the forest. I gave a bad first impression a couple days ago... so I didn't want to get spotted." Tanya spoke quickly every time she spoke to him because she was nervous somehow, but it all seemed the same to Ayrez when she spoke fast, he always thought she spoke slowly. "They would probably take me away for experiments cuz I have wings and make me say what happened to you or they'd find out somehow and also do tests on you. My brother somehow has gills and we'd all be little toys to them."
"That means you're a bird? And I dont see how your brothers a fish..." Ayrez asked questioningly, he thought of the word G.U.N. and felt hot anger slowly rise. 'Why was that?'
"No we're actually hedgehogs, my 5 quills are long and pointing down. Two border my face and I'm a chest nutty brown colour. My eyes are blue and you're probably as tall as me." Tanya giggled.
'She's probably beautiful...blue eyes...' He blushed to this though. "Currently what do I look like?"
"Well you have five quills all drooping down...you're a grayish colour and you have a tuft colour of white." Tanya said grabbing new bandages and cleaning ointment to put on Ayrez's wounds. She spread her wings out. "Here. Touch these they'll keep your mind of the stinging."
At first he was afraid his right arm wouldn't move but it did. The softness of her wings was the softest thing he'd ever touched. "Such beauty is rare..." Tanya blushed at Ayrez's comment. A little sting came after his bandages were removed, then his wounds got the ointment and the new bandages were on, but he kept his hand on her wing calming him.
"Usually when my brother gets into something he complains when I put new bandages on him, but you don't." she said patting his head. "You keep quiet."
Ayrez felt some confidence in him rise a bit and thought, 'Hah you suck brother of Tanya'. He grinned.
"I'm just going to get an extra pillow and blanket for me, need one?" Ayrez felt guilty of taking her bed and leaving her to sleep somewhere...
"No I'm ok. And thank you for letting me stay." 'I think I'm going to like staying here.' Ayrez thought.
"No prob." [/:)] Tanya said.
10 mins later...The front door creaked. "Hey!"
"Why do you have to steal 5 different satellite signals?!" Tanya yelled to Baku.
"Is he your husband?" Ayrez asked.
Tanya blushed and again looked at Ayrez like he was crazy.

Mystica: Sorry if I didn't answer this before but, I was listening to my friend play the Pocahontas theme while typing, and I made Baku like that because I dunno I felt like it blablabla but he can control himself and Tanya only acts like that to her brother or when someone messes up BIG TIME.
