Chapter 11: Lost in the woods
Sorry that I've been a depressing sack of shit recently. The death of a loved one is hard. But I'm gonna be writing a lot more now in order to get my mind off it and to help myself! BTW due to my state of mind after this post the schedule is going to be thrown out for a time. But I hope you guys enjoy this!
Rocky Mountains, USA.
Robby and his wife Samantha were going on a weekend hike. They loved hiking through the rockies, the wilderness was breathtaking and they were having a wonderful time. They needed a break from their technology filled lives even as alarming news reports from across the country were pouring in about "Monster Girls". However as they were passing by a waterfall they heard crying. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Robby called out as he looked across the small pool of water. "What is it Robby?" Samantha called out turning to where Robby was looking. "I thought I heard crying."
She looked out and saw nothing other then what looked to be a large turtle, only it wasn't a turtle. It appeared to be a small girl with turtle like features such as a big shell on her back as well as turtle arms. She wore some green and red robes. The pair looked upon the girl who was crying hard, she didn't seem to notice them. They had no idea what the hell she was but Robby felt guilt. "Hey!" Robby cried out "Are you ok?!" The girl gasped and cried out in fear before disappearing into her turtle shell.
The couple looked to each other before crossing the pool to the large turtle girl. "P p please go away!" the girl cried out from her shell. "Hey it's ok we aren't gonna hurt you. Please come out and talk to us." Samantha pleaded to the girl. It took a few minutes of coaxing but the turtle girl eventually relented, leaving her shell. The pair got a much better look at her. She looked only about five years old, with short green hair covered with a strange felt hat. She had deep green eyes that matched her shell. She still looked quite nervous however. "Umm what's your name? And what are you?" Robby asked the girl. She sniffled and said "My name is Tammy. I'm a Umi Osho. You know, a Mamono." The pair gave off a confused look before turning to her again. "Sorry we have never heard of a Mamono. Maybe if we talked to your parents they can help us help you. Where are they or are you all alone out here?"
At the mentioning of her parents she began to cry again. "M m my mommy and daddy are gone!" She wailed in despair as the couple tried to comfort her. "C can you tell us what happened?" Samantha asked as the Umi Osho began to calm down again. "Daddy always told me mommy was sick, that's why I couldn't play with her often. One day mommy wasn't home and daddy was crying, he said mommy went to a better place. Then one day daddy said he was going out for a while. A a and he didn't come back!"
She began to cry again and both Robby and Samantha gave her a big hug. The felt terrible having her tell them. "I just wish I had a mommy and daddy again." The pair heard her whisper as she calmed down. The couple looked to each other and began to think. They had always wanted a kid but Samantha was infirtle and the adoption process proved to be a challenge again and again. Maybe this was a sign. "Hey Tammy do you wanna come home with us? It gets really cold here at night and you could get hurt." At this Tammy gasped and looked up at the couple. "Do you wanna be my parents?!" The Humans looked surprised and quickly tried to rebuttal that but before they could the Umi Osho cried out in joy. "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE become my mommy and daddy! I don't wanna be alone any more!" The couple quickly came to a decision.
"Um what is this?" Tammy asked as they approached their car. The pair had a feeling that she wouldn't know what a car was considering that she wasn't even completely Human. But Robby decided to answer her. "It's called a car, it helps people get around quickly." The little Umi Osho looked confused at this but went along with it. As the pair had no child seat Samantha offered to have Tammy sit on her lap in the back. She agreed and the pair got into the back seat while Robby started the car. As they drove out the pair began to brainstorm on how to explain Tammy to CPS. Even as the truth of the Mamono began to be revealed to the world.
