Never Alone in This World

Dana's snail like eyes opened as the morning sunlight split through the trees as she was having dreams that were like flashbacks of living with Rika and her family but her fur became light blue to mirror her sadness as she sighed knowing Rika probably didn't want her because she probably had other friends, human ones that made the betrayal worse.

Her stomach rumbled as she hadn't eaten since leaving Rika's home and wanted something to eat but saw an apple tree and climbed up it and got one with her furry hand but returned to the sandbox as she didn't want humans to see her since she didn't trust them anymore than they trusted her and had decided to never befriend one again.

She then hoped that none of them would come here.

She grit her sharp fangs in anger as she ate.......

Izz was relieved as his human friends had left for the day and his brother Bronx was still in the living room watching anime so wouldn't care if he was gone for a few hours as he snuck out of the Robert's house and remembered the voice he'd heard last night and he wanted to help the Psammead in danger as he could feel it needed help as he headed to the park.

He hoped no humans had found it yet as he entered the park but could feel a magical aura from the playground as he went there but gasped seeing a Psammead on the ground as he rushed towards it seeing the wounds and cuts over Dana's light brown furred body but smiled seeing the necklace around her neck as he wore a friendship necklace around his soft grey furred neck as he waited for the strange Psammead to wake up.

After a few hours, Dana stirred but surprised to see another of her kin in this world but happy.

"Don't wory you're safe.

I'm Izzard J Nassicus but you can call me Izz.

What's your name?

What're you doing out here alone?" he said to her.

"I-I'm Dana.

Were you abandoned too?" she answered sadly.

He was surprised at that but could tell from her wounds that she was a stray and that a human had abandoned her as his fangs gritted in anger as he saw her fall to her light brown furred knees.

"This isn't good!

I need to get her somewhere safe." he thought.

A smile crossed his grey furred face as he had an idea as he picked her up gently but left before anybody spotted them but went to the forest near his home but smiled seeing a tree house that his human friends had built but he liked this idea as he climbed up there and laid Dana on the floor.

She looked so helpless lying there as he left to get a few things from the Robert's house.

Later Izz returned with pillows and blankets as he wanted to make Dana feel comfortable but he was curious about what she'd been doing out there all alone as he saw wounds but put a pillow behind her brown furred head but she moaned.

"Please Rika don't leave." she said in sleep talk.

He wondered what she was talking about as he saw the necklace and opened it as inside there was a picture of a human girl on a swing with Dana but they looked so happy and carefree but he felt sad for her as he stroked her gently but didn't want to wake her as he laid beside her waiting for her to wake up so they could talk but heard David calling and had to leave her.

"I'll be back in a little while, I promise." he said leaving the tree house.

He wondered what his human friend wanted as he joined him but knew it was tine for lunch but wanted to take some food for Dana but waited until David was sketching before doing that but decided for now to keep Dana a secret until he could get her to trust humans again but wondered why as he sighed but remembered Bronx had been the same as he'd first came to the Robet's house but changed as he grew to trust them and hoped Dana would in time trust them too.

He smiled thinking of that.

Dana awoke as she heard footsteps but relaxed seeing it was Izz as he sat beside her as she was eating the food he'd brought her but hoped he wouldn't get in trouble for doing this but saw sadness in her snail like eyes as she saw his necklace but was curious about him and where he got the necklace.

"A very good friend who I care about gave me this.

It's a sign of love.

You should rest Dana.

I can tell you've been through a lot." he said.

"Will you be here when I wake up?" she asked him.

He was nervous as he heard his best human friend call him as she and Leah had returned from school and he really wanted to see her but watched as Dana fell asleep as he left.......
