Hey guys! Thank you so much for reviewing, it's really appreciated!
(Also i'm experimenting with P.O.V's in this as normally I write in the third person)
Yakko's P.O.V
I've been walking for ages. When I had first awoke the sun was only just rising and now it was setting. My stomach growled as I didn't wish to waste my time eating breakfast or lunch. My feet throbbed painfully, every step like standing on hot coals. It sucked.
Where are you guys? I wondered. Are they safe? What if their hurt? I felt my heart pound at the very thought of my dear little sibs in pain. As the oldest it was my job to protect them from harm. My memory of the last twenty four hours was blurred and fuzzy so how my sibs had been taken was a mystery to me. They didn't know it but when we weren't at the water tower I'd stay up all night and stand guard over them, making sure that nothing could hurt them. The disappointment in myself was awful. My heart was heavy with guilt and it made me slouch.
As night fell and I found myself walking in the dark guided only by the dim light of the moon. My ears pricked up, picking up on every tiny sound, making me freak out. I can't stay out here much longer. I'm gonna go crazy!
As I continued down the trees on my sides began to grow and thicken, blocking out the moonlight. I whimpered. I didn't like this at all.
To my right I heard a rustle in the trees. I stopped and looked but nothing was there. I shook my head, tiredness must have been getting to me. Carrying on I began to sing a little song to myself
"Yakko Wakko and Dot
The kids we love a lot
Wildy crazy Insane
They're funny even when they're a pain.
Yakko's the eldest, leader of the pack
funny, quick with an epic comeback
Wakko's the middle child and isn't he cute!
Whacking eating burping he's a hoot
Dot the little girl
cute and sassy she's a whirl."
"You shouldn't sing so loud kid it attracts bandits."
"Ahh!" I screamed and leapt back. A huge man, over twice my size was stood in front of me. He held an axe in his hand.
"Sorry kiddo didn't mean to scare you. I protect the village. Bandits and raiders come along this way. Wanted to check you out."
"You dirty man!" I replied, smiling slightly. He looked at me and burst into a deep booming laugh.
"So, what brings you to these parts sonny?"
Instantly I was reminded of Wakko and Dot and my heart dropped. My ears and tail sagged down. "Well, my sibs have been kidnapped, and I've got to save them."
The mans face changed. He looked at me and his face morphed into one of pity.
"Wow. I'm really sorry son. Tell you what, you look exhausted, why don't you come with me? You can sleep in my house. A goods nights rest will do you good by the looks of you."
"Charming." I said, before nodding and accepting his offer. I was dead on my feet and a good nights sleep would do me some good.
"My names Pete, by the way, what's yours?"
"I'm Yakko." Upon introducing myself I waited as a reflex for Wakko to introduce himself so we could say "we're the Warner brothers." I sighed. I need my sibs back and quick.
Pete led me back to his home. His wife had just made dinner and they shared it with me. She didn't ask me much but her eyes showed she was suspicious of me.
"I'll show you to your room, Yakko." Pete said and stood up. He led me to a small room with a bed and closet.
"Thanks, Pete, I really appreciate it."
"Right. Well good night." Pete closed the door and left me alone.
I was so tired. I turned on the light and looked around. The room was pretty nice, a window with shutters, a desk and chair beneath it, and a single bed with a blue duvet over it. Being as tired as I was I didn't bother to take in anything else and just turned off the light and dragged my tired body to the bed. But I couldn't sleep.
Thoughts of Dot and Wakko in all kinds of horrific situations flooded my head. Screams of pain, sight of blood. The second my eyes closed all I could feel was the pain they could be experiencing, the fear they must be feeling. Eventually I passed out into an uneasy sleep, wreaked with nightmares.
Wakko's P.O.V
I didn't understand what was going on. What had Yakko done, that could have resulted in such an extreme method of revenge?
My heart pounded erratically, punching against my ribs as though it wanted to escape my chest. To be honest I was kind of worried it might actually escape. Good thing that only happens in cartoons.
Dot had passed out. Or fallen asleep. I wasn't completely sure. I could just hear her calm breathing. It was the only noise in this whole room, aside from the sound of my heart, but that might have been in my head.
What was really bugging me was how hungry I was. If I remember correctly we had just finished eating dinner when we were captured. That was at least twelve hours ago and my stomach was growling like a starved dog who can smell meat.
Dot and I were both unharmed, except for the pain in my wrists from the ropes that cut into them and my numb behind from sitting on the wooden chair for so long. Other than that we were both fine.
I could feel myself slowly begin to nod, so tired. Only fear was keeping me awake. But I'd been awake for at least fourteen hours now and I didn't think I could take anymore. Sighing I sat there staring into the darkness until I drifted into a fitful uncomfortable slumber.
I hope you don't mind how short Wakko's bit was. I'm trying to improve my writing hence the longer chapters. Hope you enjoy.
