Confusion.
Pure and simple. The girl, no older than 13 stood in ankle deep muck.
The use of her legs had been new to her. When she first tried to stand her legs, they been had shaky, like a new born deer. The current quake didn't help.
Prompting her to fall back into the sludge. It had taken her a few more tries before standing was perfected. A large chuck of the ceiling had fallen to the ground
reveling the sky. The newly born girl didn't know what to do. What she did know was that the water at her feet was not a pleasant feeling. The earth quake suddenly
stopped.
Without giving any thought, she was suddenly floating towards the gaping hole in the rood.
Once she reached the top on the hole she landed on the grassy pasture. The light from the sun made her eyes burn, causing her to lift her arm to her face in protest. The light felt far nicer on her skin.
The grass was a more appreciated feeling to her, as she let her legs move, taking her in a random direction. She walked for almost as
hour seeing nothing but the sky and grass. Not that she expected to see anything. The new sensations of being awake were almost overwhelming.
" Hey girl!" a voice shouted causing her to stop in her tracks. She turned her head at the new sound and saw a woman with with red curly hair and brown eyes
storming towards her. The girl noted as she walked over that woman kind of looked like her. Taller without a tail, but still similar.
"Where the hell are your clothes kid!," the woman yelled, causing the girl to wince.
" Don't you have any home training?!" the woman continued. She ranted about how kids these days didn't have any respect for ten minutes before she stopped herself.
She noted that the girl while nude with a tail, was also covered in a slimy substance.
" You okay kid? You want to me to call someone for you?"
The girl didn't respond because she didn't understand what the woman was saying.
"Do you even understand what I'm saying to you?", she asked, her voice laced with concern.
Again the girl said nothing. She was far too entranced by the woman and how she interacted with her.
"Hang on," the woman took her backpack of her back and began pulling out items. A box of wet wipes, and a over-sized purple t-shirt.
"Wa-la," the woman happily exclaimed.
She pulled out a handful of wipes and began a quick wipe down of the girl.
"So whats you name Kiddo?," the woman asked as she rubbed the grime from the girls body.
Again the girl stayed silent. She wondered why she was being scrubbed up and down, but didn't mind because it felt better than having
all of the dried muck on her body.
"Well I can't keep calling you kid, kid," the woman said as she disposed of the wipes. She proceeded to place the over sized shirt on the girl who put up zero resistance.
"My name's Fable," the woman said grabbing the girl's hand firmly shaking it.
The girl simply stared, confused by what the gesture meant.
Fable still firmly holding on the girls hands pulled her into the she had previously came from, backpack in her opposite hand.
" You remind me of a cat I used to have. I'm going to call you Dallas," Fable stated with a firm smile.
Fable pulled Dallas over to a dirt road.
"You can stay with me; at my house," Fable said happily as she stopped at a dirt road. Letting go of Dallas's hand, Fable sat her backpack down one the ground and
began digging through it.
She pulled out a yellow capsule, throwing it causally into the road. A loud poof sound went off, with a cloud.
When the cloud finally cleared away, it revealed a white motorcycle that had the words Hot Tamale written in red letters.
Placing her backpack over one shoulder, she made her way to her bike. Once she was firmly seated, she looked over at Dallas.
Dallas stood there with a quizzical expression painted on her face.
"Well come on kid, get on the bike," Fable said.
Dallas walked over and sat behind Fable on the bike.
Fable reached behind her, pulling both of Dallas's arms and wrapped them around her waist.
"Just hold on to me like this and I promise you won't fall off Dallas."
'I always wanted a little sister,' she thought as she pushed her foot on the gas.
The wind made Dallas's hair blow wildly. Fables hair oddly stayed still as she sped towards Satan city.
"Have you been to the city before?" Fable asked as she stopped at a red light.
Dallas said nothing, she simply stared at all of the other vehicles and their occupants. Her tail twitched as she noticed she hadn't seen
anyone else with an appendage like hers.
As the light turned green, Fable sped off fast around a corner, giving Dallas Slight whiplash.
Dallas felt a slight discomfort in her stomach, it began to make noises. Apparently Fable noticed because she pulled up to a Fast food restaurant.
Dino Burger
She stopped the bike directly in front of the colorful sign. "Ok kid, time to get off." Fable said, jumping off the bike.
Following her lead, Dallas climbed off the motorbike.
Fable pushed a button on her bike, and Poof. Bike was gone, and a capsule was left in its place.
She picked up the capsule and threw it casually in her bag. Grabbing Dallas hand she walked through the glass doors of the restaurant.
The restaurant was only had a few other people inside. They sat in there booths quietly chatting amongst themselves.
Fable pulled Dallas to the last booth, all the way in the back of the restaurant. After they sat a woman greeted them, "Welcome to Dino Burger, Can I start you guys
off with some drinks?""Two waters please," Fable said, as she opened her menu."I'll be right back," the waitress replied as she went off to get the drinks.
Dallas picked up her menu, just as she had seen Fable do. She stared at it in a mimicking fashion.
"The Protarchaeopteryx burger sounds pretty good Huh?" Fable asked, not expecting a response.
The waitress came back with two waters. " Are you guys ready to order?" The waitress asked, pulling out her note pad and pen.
"Yes," Fable said, as she closed her menu. " We'll have two Pteranodon tenders baskets with fries, and two fruits cups."
The waitress scribbled the order down in her pad, and smiled."Alrighty, it will be out in ten minutes," she said picking up the menu from the table
and plucking it from Dallas's hands. Fable nodded her head, picking up her water and taking a sip.
Dallas watched this action, then preceded to pick up her own cup of water. She brought it to her lips, just as she had seen Fable do. The cool
water that touched her mouth was refreshing and much needed. She guzzled the entire cup. Dallas then smiled for the first time.
Once she was done, Dallas sat her cup down and immediately reached for Fable's cup.
"This is mine," Fable said defensively, moving her cup before Dallas could grab it. "If you want more water your going to have to ask for it," Fable said, taking
another sip of her water. Dallas frowned, looking at her own empty cup; she wasn't sure what to do.
"Wow kid, you really are feral." Fable then called the waitress over and asked for more water, Politely asking her to leave the pitcher.
"There, now you won't have to steal mine," Fable said as she watched Dallas slowly sip from her own cup.
"That's called water, " Fable said pointing to the cup in Dallas's Hand. "Wa-ter," Fable said slower. She repeated the word over and over until
the waitress came over with two plates, politely sitting them down at the table.
"This smells good," Fable said picking up a tender. Dallas picked up a fry, and stared at it. "Water," she said, her voice was soft and low.
Fable surprised, dropped her tender back in her basket. "So you can talk," Fable stated amazed.
"But that's a fry, not water," she said picking up a fry herself. "Can you say fry?"
Fable plopped the fry in her mouth, and repeated the word slower. Dallas looked at the fry in between her fingers. "Fry," she said, before placing
the fry in her own mouth. Her face, twisted in surprise at the taste. Taken moments to register, the texture and flavor. Dallas preceded to chew
and swallow the fry. She then began shoving them harshly into her mouth.
"Good," Fable said with a smile, eating her own food
