Escaping To A World Unknown
A/N Here's more and I hope everybody enjoys but thanks to ElphieThropp for reviewing.
The store I was in today didn't have the novel.
But I got some more Ponyo books instead which I plan to read later when I go to bed.
Listening to the soundtrack right now for inspiration to help me out.
I wonder what K.W's going to choose staying in Max's kingdom or go home to his own one and his family and friends?
I wonder..........
K.W had a restless night lying on the couch.
He looked at the clock knowing it was past midnight but his furry stomach rumbled with hunger as he went into the kitchen and opened the fridge but found a turkey in there and ate it.
He belched loudly but chuckled a little but the laughter stopped seeing a framed photo of Max with his ex wife and Marc and Kari but they looked like kindergarteners at the time but it made his heart twinge a little bit in sadness seeing that because it made him think of the other Wild Things back home on the island but he realised something, that Max was right.
They were his family and he'd left them for this kingdom but he felt like crying as tears fell from his eyes hitting the glass.
"K.W you okay?" he heard somebody say.
He saw that it was Max.
"I-I'm okay Max.
Really I am." he told him.
Max wasn't convinced by K.W trying to be tough as he heard him howl sadly but understood his friend's feeling of being sad because the photo of Max's family made K.W remember his family back home on the island but there were things here he didn't want to leave behind.
"You miss the others, don't you?
It's okay to admit that.
Maybe it's time to go home.
Carol and the others will be happy." Max told him.
"But there are things in your kingdom I don't want to leave behind like Kaci.
She's like a Wild Thing without the fur." he said as Max chuckled at that.
"I understand that you like her K.W.
Maybe you should take her back with you.
Her parents split up recently and her father wants custody over her which means she'll be moving away from here." he told him.
An evil smile crossed the teenage Wild Thing's face at that.
"That's a good idea." he told him.
Later in the morning K.W heard fighting outside but found Kaci sitting outside on the porch of her family home with tears falling down her face.
Max saw him go over but smiled seeing him on the porch talking to her as they got up after a while as Kaci's parents were still fighting as they went into Max's house but Kaci was curious about the world K.W came from but liked the sound of it as K.W and Max explauned it to her as a smile crossed her face as she decided what she was doing.
"You sure you want to go?
Won't your parents be mad at finding you're gone?" K.W asked her.
"Nope.
They won't care.
They'd be happy." she answered.
Max understood how Kaci felt when he had first escaped to the island because his sister ignored him and his mother was dating somebody and he was scared but being with the Wild Things had helped him learn more about his feelings and about his family.
He hoped it would do the same for Kaci as he watched them get in the boat and sail off to the island...........
On the island the other Wild Things along with Marc and Kari were having a Wild Rumpus but they stopped as Carol came to them with K.W and Kaci with them but they were so happy to see K.W back home safe and sound but they were surprised to see that he had a human friend with him.
"This is Kaci.
I met her in Max's kingdom.
She thinks I'm cool." K.W replied as they laughed but Carol smiled.
He was glad K.W had a friend as he was telling them about Max's kingdom and the things he saw there but Carol saw Kaci's ears beginning to change into soft horns which surprised and made him curious because he knew humans could change if they stayed here too long but he wondered why Marc and Kari hadn't changed yet but Ira had joy in his eyes seeing parches of fur beginning to grow slowly over the children's bodies but they knew that their life wouldn't be the same anymore because of this..........
