Sounds, sounds so many of them.. I thought as I rose from my enjoyable dream. My eyes began to adjust to the dawning of the day. There was always at lesat somenone near our shared home. My mom was always giving me new lessons on how a bat girl should behave. I enjoyed the delight of not giving in completly to my mother, I saw it as a type of game.
As for me I am a young fruit bat girl and am almost int o my 12th week of life I think. I never really learned how to how to count and why should I eye, it just some stupid boring lessons. My golden brown fur radiates with the rising sun, and I have what is described as emerald green eyes. The funny thing is I don't even what an emerald is but that is what my mom says my eyes look like. My wings aren't really that strong and it seems like I have to rest more often then the other newborns.
We live in a jungle of sorts with a nearby river but it is not too close to us. Most of us really despies getting wet and ever so often a fruit bat or two falls in. I have seen a few fruit bats fight before over something like that, but it is normally the drenched one who starts it. The only things us fruit bats has to worry about is falling fruit or snakes, so our life is less worry some then most other colonies.
Yet my mom has mentioned to me about our birth mother, ever so often she describes her and tells me stories about her. It is know about the colony that each of us was decended from a sing bat. It is kind of hard to phathom since each of us foxwings are differnet colors you see. Sometimes she comes to visit each of the different fruit bats, it is kind of a dreaded ocassion. She is quite pleasant but her tricks tend to sare most everyone.
She has visited our colony before but I feel glad it is not our colonies turne. she is known as the lady of Fruit and well this might sound strange but she is my friend. Shocking, I kihard for other bats to understand. I can't remember her name but I think I was told her name. It is kind of a know fact that she is a trickster, which makes most of usfoxwings increasingly nervous.
As I trace my memories back, I remember one time when the Lady of Fruit painted my mom blood red. I laughed so hard that I nearly got a fruit stuck in my mouth, though my mom didn't think it was very funny. I recieved a glare of hate from my mom, she looked really mad. She said "Chekiw roost now!" Deciding to play nicely I roosted in the tree and closed my eyes. That was all I heard before I fell asleep on that visit, I fall asleep really fast normally. Most young pups need their sleep so we can play in the morning.
The elders talk about me alot, they think that I am a trouble maker. It seems to them that I get into danger really easily. I really don't see it that way, I see myself as some kind of explorer. I really hope that one day I can see the rest of the world. Okay yes I will admit that one time I got myself caught in a spider's wed. The spider had a really nice voice and though I struggled to break free, she was able to calm me down. The spider said. "Sleep now child, you are safe within my web, nothing will bother you here."
I heard the voice of the spider and it felt like it was kind and I felt a soothing feeling of safety surround me. She wrapped me in a nice blanket of silk and it felt so comfortable and nice to be inside of it. I felt as though I could sleep for days at a time within it. However some other bats had to come and spoil all my fun, they had this ridiculous notion that the spider was going to eat me. I mean like come on that is just a myth, why did they have to overreact to everytime I found some new friend or such. It is not like every creature in the forest wants to eat me anyway.
