Author's Note:
Hey welcome back! I hope everyone is enjoying the story so far!
"Britt, Brittany,"
The auburn furred girl blinks and tears her gaze away from the strange creature picking crumbs off the floor, it almost looked like a mouse, size wise anyways. But it's body resembles a fat cat and it's an odd light blue color.
"Sorry Ellie, I uh, thought I saw a mouse," Brittany goes back to rolling out the dough as her younger sister drapes her own dough over the filling of a pie, "A mouse? Where'd it go?" She asks frowning as she turns and eyes the floor, looking directly at the cat-mouse creature who continues to innocently pluck debris off the kitchen floor.
"I don't know, I didn't really watch it," Brittany bluffs, watching the critter out of the corner of her eye as Eleanor moves around the kitchen, preparing the pies.
It's been barely a week since her 'near-death' experience, and ever since then she's noticed strange creatures around town, she had asked her sisters on the ride back home from the hospital if they had seen the boys outside.
They said they didn't see anyone outside beside some nurses on break, were they the same things as these ghost-type critters?
"I'm going outside for a bit..." Eleanor nods, frowning as she watches her sister exit the kitchen, ever since she woke up in the hospital Brittany has been acting strange.
Staring at things that weren't even there, jumping at every little sound, she hasn't even complained about anything since she's gotten home, which is really worrying.
The dirty blonde chipette shakes her head and sets the timer for the pies.
"Your family seems worried,"
Brittany jumps, her heartbeat exploding in her ears as she whirls around, nearly elbowing the munk in the jaw as she staggers a step back.
"Whoa, whoa, sorry!" Alvin's golden eyes stare at her, wide and startled as he reaches out to steady her, "It's just me," He smirks as she smacks his paw away.
"What the hell are you? Who are you?" The chipette's fur bristles as she glares at him, bright blue eyes narrowed as she tucks her paws under her arms, crossing them across her chest.
The russet furred munk simply blinks at her, staring with those unnerving steady eyes as she shuffles from foot to foot.
"You see them?" Brittany frowns, uncrossing her arms to station her paws on her hips, "See who? You didn't answer my question!"
Alvin raises a single eyebrow and moves across the porch, leaning down he reaches into the bush and plucks out a squawking bird type creature with one bright indigo eye.
Brittany flinches and steps back away from the distressed creature, "I knew it! You can see them!" Alvin releases the creature and watches in amusement as Brittany crouches out of the way as it flutters away from the smirking munk.
"Are you going to answer my question now?" She snaps, fixing her hair anxiously as she glances back at where the creature had gone, "There's no real term for what I am, and I'm Alvin, we met in the hospital last week, remember?"
"I remember, how did your brother...go through the nurse?"
"Normal people can't really see us, and when they do they brush us off, you know like how you walk down the street and pass a bunch of people? You don't really remember everyone's face do you?"
"I guess not..."
"That's how my brothers and I work, except we can be seen if we chose to continue interacting with someone, but we'll be forgotten within a day," The munk plops down on a lawn chair, picking up a discarded magazine with little interest.
"Why can I see you then? I remember you too," Brittany slowly takes a seat beside him, unsure what to make of the munk beside her as he flips through the pages, "Might be because you were trapped in limbo for a little bit, well, I'm not sure how long you were there but you were already fading by the time I found you,"
Brittany buries her face in her paws and exhales loudly, was she really believing all this? Maybe her family was playing a really elaborate prank on her or maybe she was on some new prank TV series.
"You don't believe me?" She jerks back as he leans in waaaaay too close, so close she feels his warm breath wash over her face as his golden orbs seem to swirl with various hues of melted honey, something sparks within those dangerous eyes and the Cheshire grin she saw in the hospital spreads out upon his features as his paws close around her wrists.
"I'll make you believe then~"
Brittany's eyes widen as the world around her suddenly warps, the colors blurring together into a single white sheet as her whole body grows heavy then light, her nerves humming beneath her skin as if someone was running their nails across her flesh making Goosebumps pop up out of nowhere.
Suddenly she feels the weight of the world crash into her as she stumbles slightly, a firm paw on her shoulder brings her attention back to the grinning munk, "See? I'm not normal," He states proudly, spreading his arms out to bring attention to their surroundings.
Brittany's gaze sweeps the bright city, the night sky lit up as if were day time, the chipette gasps in awe as she slowly approaches the edge of the railing, leaning slightly forward over the edge of the Eiffel Tower.
No action yet but I'll try and put some in later on :)
