I think I'm gonna update this now. Yup, I'm gonna do that.

Chapter 3 – Audrey Speaks

When I woke up the next day I felt much better. Seymour's blood had really lifted me. But I was feeling a little thirsty now. I hoped the boy would be here soon.

My prayer was granted when Seymour came dancing in, singing in joy. "Good morning, Audrey II!" he sang picking me up.

"Good morning, Seymour," I wheezed out. I panted. "I'm thirsty."

Seymour nodded. "Okay, hang on," he told me. He opened a drawer in the desk I was sitting on and took out a blade. Flinching a little, he cut his finger so blood came oozing out. I greedily lapped it up as it poured into my mouth.

"Thank you," I wheezed.

The boy smiled. "You're welcome." He replied.

As he started to set up the shop, I looked out the window. Ah, look at the world! How wide it was! Why did I have to be in here all of the time? Maybe I could convince the boy to bring me outside to see this world. I turned in my pot to him.

"Seymour!" I called to him, "Seymour, my boy, may I go outside? I would like to see what this wide world is like. Please take me to look around."

The boy looked at me then smiled. "Why, of course!" he said, "I don't see why not. Might be good advertising, too."

So he picked me up and left the shop. The sun shone brightly down. As we came out we passed the original Audrey.

"Just going out for a while," Seymour told her, "Tell the boss that." Then we left.

As we walked around, Seymour pointed out all the amazing things in this "town" and I listened. Despite my planet being much better, I had to admit that this small world was impressive. I looked all around me, staring up at the tall buildings as Seymour told me the history of them. Some people gave him strange looks because he was talking to a plant, but he ignored them. But some people were tougher than others.

As we were walking through this "park" where I had first been discovered, two men approached Seymour. Their shirts read "Enis" and the other one read "Fredo." They were much bigger than my boy.

"Hey Seymour," Enis called, "What'chya doing?"

"Are you talking to a plant?" Fredo asked, snickering.

Seymour held me close to him. "No," he replied, a little nervously, "I'm just, er, talking softly to myself."

Suddenly, Fredo snatched me from Seymour's hands. "What kind of plant is this?" he wondered, "It's so ugly!"

"Give it back!" Seymour cried, "Give back Audrey II!"

"Audrey II?" Enis giggled, "You named it after that girl you're stalking?"

"Hey Seymour," Fredo said, "Let's see how Audrey II likes being tossed around." Then he tossed me, pot and all, over Seymour's head to Enis. Seymour desperately tried to grab me, but I sailed out of his reach. Then Enis threw me back to Fredo and back again, all the while the two men howling with laughter.

"Seymour!" I hissed, "Save me!"

"Leave her alone!" Seymour cried.

Then, it happened. As I was being thrown to Enis, he decided not to catch me. I fell to the ground and my pot shattered, leaving me sprawled on the ground. Then Enis started to raise his foot.

"Oops," he said, starting to bring it down.

"NO!" Seymour cried out.

"Leave me alone," I growled. Enis stopped.

"Uh, did the plant just talk?" he asked, shivering.

"If you wish to continue living," I warned, "you would do well to leave and never torment this boy again. Or I might have to kill you."

Enis and Fredo trembled. "Uh, yes, plant," Fredo said, "Let's get out of here, Enis!"

And with that, the two took off running.

Seymour stared in surprise. "Wow, Audrey, that was amazing!" he praised.

My lips formed a thin smile. "Thank you, Symour," I wheezed, "I only wanted to protect you." And I found that I meant it. "Now, would you be so kind as to fetch me some more dirt? I find that I am having some trouble breathing with out some."

Later as we walked back to the shop, Seymour looked at me. "Audrey, you're the greatest, thank you so much." He told me.

I was touched by the boy's words. "Why, you're welcome." I replied.

He smiled and noticed something. "Audrey," he said, "You've gotten bigger."

Yes! I made this chapter longer than the last one! All right! Anyway, I finally typed the third chapter. I hoped you liked it. The Enis and Fredo thing came to me as I was typing. If my stories were like plays, this one would be improv night. Remember to Read and review. And thank you for reading.

Ps: If you have any ideas for this story, I would love to here them! Might make me update sooner if I actually have ideas.
