Through the gaps in the blanket's knitting, I could see that a female mammoth was there, with a small calf huddled next to her.
I heard Uncle Sid say, "Well, would 'wake up, look at us, and then scream' count as 'good,' because if it does, then she's good."
I rolled my eyes. Only Uncle Sid would say something so pathetic.
I had to spend a few seconds gathering my nerve. Then, with trembling hands, I pulled the blanket out from over my head. But, I didn't unwrap it, because I was still cold.
The mammoth that sounded like Mom looked at me in shock at the fact that I was human. But, she regained her composure, and said, "Oh, good! You're up! You've been out for hours! What's your name?"
Uncle Sid spoke up. "Ellie, remember what Manny said? Humans can't talk! It'll never tell you its name!"
Wait a second...Mom's name is Eleanora. Ellie, Eleanora...And the baby with her, it couldn't be...Me.
I huffed in irritation. "I'm a 'she' not an 'it', and my name is," I grimaced, "Momo. Where am I?"
Uncle Sid looked up, screamed, and then ran off yelling, "Guys! You guys were WRONG! She really CAN talk!"
Mom rolled her eyes, and said, "So, your name's Momo? That's a weird name for a human..."
I gave a nervous chuckle. "Trust me, you have no idea. Anyway, where am I?"
Ellie looked at me for a while, and said, "You're with my herd. We'll keep you safe, until you get well. I'm Ellie, and this is my daughter," she motioned to the little calf peering from behind her, "Peaches."
"Peaches," I said. My name. This calf was me. "That's a very nice name," I said. "It's fitting, too."
So, here I was, talking to my mom, who doesn't know that I'm the little calf that was snuggled so close to her. And I'm pretty sure that my father and other uncles were coming any second.
((Yay, cannon character time! Tell me if they are being OOC, but I tried to make them as in-character as I could. ))
