Ace: *sniffle* Sooo... is anything coming back to you?
Unnamed fluffball: *sigh* No, not yet...
Ace: Well, we can find out more in the next chapter!
The sun had long since risen, and I had just reached the edge of a forest. I knew that beyond it, Cappytown was just over a few hills.
And I would be safe.
Safe.
I relished the word for a moment, then ran into the woods. They had to be looking for me now, with the promise of everlasting death.
I looked down at myself as I ran. I wasn't going to camouflage well.
Being a bright blue fluffball will not give you that advantage.
A bright blue fluffball without a name.
I continued to run, even though I must have had at least five prickles stuck to my feet. "I can't rest." I muttered to my self. "not ever."
And that's when I fell. I didn't trip over anything. I had crashed into a pink ball that was just a bit smaller than me.
"Poyo!" It shouted as... he fell. Then he bounced back to his feet. "Poyo?" He had said it more like a question, though. I pushed myself up into a sitting position, and started pulling the thorns out of my feet.
"There are more like me..." I whispered. Then I cleared my throat. "Look, I'm in a hurry. Do you know how I can get to Cappytown?"
"Kirby!" He mewed as he pulled me to my feet, and started to drag me behind him.
I knew why.
Demonic screaming was coming from behind us.
We both started to run as fast as we could, but the screaming was getting closer by the second.
Kirby kept on shouting, "Poyo! Poyo! Poyo!" as we ran.
Of course it was them. It would always be them.
I nearly fell twice, but fear kept me on my feet. I could see Cappytown through the trees. We were so close when Kirby fell.
