"CATCH IT, DON'T LET IT GET AWAY!"
By the time she had stuck her head out the door everyone had vanished around a corner somewhere.
"Hmm...That's strange..." She was about to pull back inside her room when she heard the yelling coming back in her direction.
"IT'S GOING BACK THAT WAY! HEAD IT OFF! YOU IDIOTS CAN'T, YOU CATCH ANYTHING!"
Opening her door wider she stepped out into the hallway and tried to see what it was they were chasing. She barely managed to get a glimpse of it; it was like a blur... a golden blur. It ran straight passed her, into her room and vanished under the bed.
"What the hell was that thing? Oh no, here comes the stampede!" Taking a step back Andrea stood in the door frame to her room as she was approached.
The two boys that had been chasing it all this time hadn't seen it go into Andrea's room. So they stopped to argue over whose fault it was for loosing sight of it. Andrea just stood speechless wondering how only two boys managed to make such a ruckus. While she stood there pondering she also noted that their armor was the same as Viole's.
"WHERE DID IT GO, MIGUEL!"
"I DON'T KNOW DIDN'T YOU SEE IT?"
"NO, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE. YOU WERE AHEAD OF ME!"
"IT PROBUBLY WENT TO THE KITCHEN! HURRY UP GATTI!"
The boys never even noticed Andrea standing there next to them with a door wide open, and as suddenly as they had stopped they had taken off again. Raising her eyebrow curiously at their retreating forms she shook her head disappointed with their obvious lack of observation skills.
"Fine, don't ask me then. I'll get it myself, who needs you." Andrea said mostly to herself as she went into her room to try and calm the poor frightened creature, or whatever it is, and maybe make a friend it this hostile and now seemingly neglecting world.
"Hello? It's ok, they're gone now. You can come out...hello?" She spoke smoothly and softly trying to coax the thing out with her voice. But, as it would seem, the thing was not going to come out that easily, although, it did make a soft noise. It sounded like someone crying or whimpering. Andrea's heart melted at the noise and she felt only the need to comfort the poor creature.
"It's alright... please don't cry."
Andrea crouched down to try and at least see what she was talking to but as soon as she got down on her knees it ran away again but since she had closed the door it could only run around in circles. It was extremely fast, she could only make out the outline of it. From what she could tell it was a four legged animal that looked like a torpedo when it runs, not entirely helpful. Sitting down on the floor she tried again to talk to the poor thing.
"Hey calm down, I'm not going to hurt you..." She went silent for a moment trying to thing of some way to get its attention. "I know, I brought a ham sandwich from my home since I didn't know how long I would be on my own without any food. You can have it or just the ham if you want." Getting to her feet she made her way away from the bed and as she did the thing dove under the bed again and started to make that crying noise.
"Don't worry I won't tell them where you are, honest. You can stay here with me if you want." Pulling out the sandwich she took off the plastic rapping and ripped of a small piece of it laying it on the floor in front of her. "Here's something to eat, come on take it I won't bite."
Patiently and silently she waited and after a few minutes the smell of the food caught its attention and, slowly, it poked it's nose out from under the side of the bed.
"Come on, it's ok." She smiled happily as the creature came into full view. "There that's better now I can see you."
Sorry 'bout the evil cliffhanger but I'm too lazy to type much more right now. Don't worry I'll have the next chapter out soon. later days!
