The rain poured heavily onto the tarp of a roof, an occasional drip of water landing on Effie or BonBon's heads. He kept looking around for shelter, knowing that the tarp wasn't going to last much longer. BonBon would jump in fear on the occasional lightening strike, and Effie would have to calm him every time. He looked out the side of the jeep and noticed a road that led into the forest,

"There's probably a building down that road, hold on tight BonBon!"

BonBon took what Effie said literally, holding onto his seat tightly. Effie slowed the car as he turned off the main road, driving the tires into the dirt. Thankfully the jeep had four-wheel-drive, allowing Effie to plow through the mud created by the rain. He floored the gas and the jeep jolted forward, rushing off the road. He gradually slowed as they got deeper in the forest; the large trees and leaves blocked the rain, giving them a large amount of space to stop, without getting wet that is. The jeep came to a halt, Effie got out of his seat, and went to help BonBon. Before he stood up though, he looked at the gas-meter,

"Fuck…" Effie said in anger.

The gauge was almost completely down, meaning there was little-to-any gas left in the tank. Effie hopped out of his seat and climbed into the back, greeting BonBon with a smile. He unbuckled him and picked him up, followed by grabbing the bag of baby equipment. BonBon squirmed in Effie's arms; he didn't want to leave the jeep, he felt safe in it, and all the thunder and lightening would be scarier without it. Nevertheless, Effie place him in the bed of the jeep, grabbing more things to place in the bag. He didn't really pay attention to BonBon, he just wanted to be prepared and find the right equipment. As Effie prepared, he grabbed a spare duffle bag and began stuffing in more supplies. With Effie's mind set on preparing, he didn't notice BonBon begin to climb down by himself and begin to crawl away.

His little mind didn't know any better; his curiosity running like a train, gradually speeding, being unable to stop. The large trees blocked most of the rain, but it just made the place darker. Though it wasn't pitch black, it was still dark and dim.

In the distance, a light shone. BonBon's child mind was easily brought to it, crawling towards it. The light was far, and BonBon knew it would take him time to get to it.

BonBon stood-He stood on his two back feet-and began to walk. He wobbled and waddled like a penguin, barely knowing how to do so. Alas, he fell. But like the fighter he was, he got back up.
He continued to walk, heading closer and closer to the light. It grew brighter and brighter. Closer and closer. BonBon's curiosity couldn't stop flaring. Anew, he fell.

"BONBON!" Effie shouted from the top of his lungs.

BonBon wanted to continue onward, but Effie's cry made him want to turn back. But before he knew it, he was being lifted off the ground. He flailed around in the sudden surprise, not knowing who had picked him up.

"Shh! Shush! Be quiet!" An unknown, female voice said.

BonBon's mouth was covered, silencing his screams. He continued to flail his limbs, wanting to be let go, but he continued to be held against his will. The feeling of being held captive was frightening, especially for his age. He was defenseless. He could die-But he didn't.

"You'll be okay, I promise.." The female said.

BonBon was carried away by the female. He still couldn't tell what species she was, all he could see was her white-furred arms and hands. He tried his best to get out of her grasp, but it was no use.

He tried to bite her, but he couldn't get his mouth open far enough,

"Would you please stop? I'm trying to help you-OW! DAMMIT!"

BonBon managed to bite her, causing the female to drop him. As he was still an infant, he didn't get far when he tried to get away.

Before he was confronted once more, he could see who was trying to pick him up.

A fennec fox-whom stood at 5'4-frightened him by her size. 5'4 isn't the tallest, but compared to BonBon, she was tall. She had completely white fur, the only other colors weren't even her fur, it was just dirt and sweat, making mud.

"Just let me help you! Aren't you lost?"

BonBon shook his head, only wanting to find Effie and get away from the woman.

"How did you even get into the forest? You're only a kid.."

"Ef-fie…"

The fennec fox looked puzzled. Was it his name? Was it his father's? Mother's? She thought to herself.

"Who..?"

"Effie…!"

The female bit her lip, "Is that your name?"

BonBon shook his head in disagreement.

"Is it your dad..?"

BonBon tilted his head, not knowing the meaning of the word.

"Your mom…?"

BonBon shook his head in disagreement once again.

"Who is Effie?"

BonBon pointed, and the female looked in the direction,

"GET AWAY FROM MY SON!"


I'm disappointed in myself for taking two months to continue, but I'm back. I don't expect a welcome back, I know I'm an asshat, but I'm here. Sorry for not saying anything, but I'm back.

Have a nice day, and drink a glass of water.
