Welcome to chapter 4! If you think three OC's isn't enough, prepare for many more. Let's get started.
CHAPTER 4 – New Friends
(P staying with Diana) After a few minutes of going slow, the truck suddenly stopped. We had arrived. We heard some humans talking about something unrelated to us, so they must have been the ones who drove us here.
We were suddenly lifted up and jolted again. The temperature seemed to change to a warmer one, which was great since it was now early December. Having grown up in the tropics, Sebastien and I hated the cold. *
The air was really clean, presumably to keep germs away from both humans and animals. Suddenly the box was opened and light flooded into our eyes. It took a few minutes to get used to it and we had to blink several times. But as we did so, they checked to make sure we weren't sick or injured, which of course we weren't.
But as a precaution, Sebastien and I both received shots to prevent any diseases anyone was carrying from spreading to us or from us to everyone else. When I was picked up, I squirmed a little, not liking being held. I was absolutely able to move under my own power, but was denied that. Sebastien wasn't liking it either.
After a few moments, we were placed into the back of a habitat, in a cave. They closed the exit behind us, quite rudely. Sebastien and I both looked for flaws in the design and found them in the form of old and loose screws. We would use that to our advantage.
"Shall we get started?" Sebastien asked me. "Lead the way, good sir," I said to him, making us chuckle. We both proceeded out of the cave to see what our new living quarters were like. When we walked out, it looked quite lively. There were a couple of Otters, doing all sorts of things.
Some were swimming, while others were chatting. It looked like a nice place to live, with a pool to swim in and a view of the humans who would probably come to see us every day. After we were looking around, they spotted us and we all walked towards each other.
"Hello," we all said to each other. "Who are you?" someone asked us. Sebastien and I introduced ourselves. "Who are you?" I asked the girls of the group. There were four of them. "I'm Olivia," one said. "I'm Isabella," another said. "I'm Charlotte," the third said. "And I'm Hannah," the last said. ** "Nice to meet you," Sebastien and I said to them.
"And who are you?" Sebastien asked the guys. "I'm Alexander," the first said. "I'm David," another said. "I'm John," he said. "And I'm Charles," he said. ** "Nice to meet you too," Sebastien and I said to them.
We all took a seat on the floor. "So what's your story?" Isabella asked us. Sebastien and I had to think for a moment. We would have to hide our fact that we were retired spies until we knew we could trust everyone.
"Well we're from the wild," I said. Their eyes went wild. "Really? What's it like?" Charles asked. "I'm guessing you were all born in captivity?" Sebastien asked them. "Yeah. In fact, none of us are from the same colony," Olivia said. "Really? How did you all get here?" I asked them.
"Well we've all been moved here over the last year. I guess you're the final piece of the puzzle. They want five pairs of breed-able Otters, from what we've paid attention to," John said. "I hope you two like each other, because they're going to try to breed you," Charlotte said.
"We just started to date two weeks ago. We're not ready for a child," I said. "Neither are we. We've only been dating each other for a few months now," Alexander said. "We always have to be on our toes," Hannah said.
Olivia was Charles' girlfriend, John was Charlotte's boyfriend, Hannah was Alexander's girlfriend, and David was Isabella's boyfriend. They all seemed to be happy couples, which was proven when they kissed each other. Sebastien and I kissed each other as well.
We then returned to our conversation. "So how did you two wind up here?" Charles asked Sebastien and I. "Well we grew up together. We're part of the same colony, but aren't related," Sebastien said. "One day we left our colony, after our parents…" I said, before I started to tear up.
"That happened to us too Diana. They passed away almost ten years ago," Olivia said. We were all sad with the loss of our parents and how we wished they were still here. But we all comforted each other and calmed back down.
"From there we went to different zoos before coming here. And we heard them mention that it's permanent, so I guess we're finally able to settle down," Sebastien said. "They said that for us too. They really want us to breed," David said.
"Well we'll show them that we're in control," I said proudly. Everyone agreed with me that we were in charge of when we would produce children and not the humans. All in all, Sebastien and I liked our new friends. They had personalities very similar to ours, so hopefully that meant we would get along.
We chatted for hours on end and were able to because the aquarium was closed today. They told us the schedule for food and when the trainers came by so we could hide. We also told them about what life was like in the wild and they were captivated. Once we made sure they weren't spies, we would help them be able to go outside.
Eventually we all got tired and headed to our own caves for the night. Sebastien and I had slept near each other on our missions, but never this close. We chose to gradually get ourselves closer together, so for now we slept a few feet from each other in the cave. We shared a kiss before moving a few feet and falling asleep.
That's the end of this chapter. So many OC's! And I know what you all want, but be patient. It's in due time. But for now, please leave a review of this chapter. Before I leave you, I have two notes.
* Remember, Asian Otters naturally live in the southeastern part of that continent.
** I went through the same thought process as I did for all the other characters I've created. Thank you Internet for names to decide between.
