Almost Mutants: Part Four

by eeyore_238

I put out a glass bottle that held a slimy, disgusting looking brown liquid.

"Eeyore! Look what someone put in my pack!" I called to her.

She ran over and took the bottle from me. "What a strange looking potion!" she stated, turning the bottle over in her hands. She put it in her black shoulder bag.

I don’t even remember walking into Faerie City; my mind was so full. That’s probably why it happened.

Snacls held back to walk with me when it happened. I took a wrong turn down a dark, sinister looking alley. Snacls had no choice but to follow me. Suddenly, a big net fell over the two of us.

***

We were hoisted up into the air and I dropped my pack.

"My pack!" I cried, watching it fall to the ground.

The two of us were taken into a small warehouse I hadn’t noticed before.

"Let us go!" Snacls cried, thrashing around the net.

"Not until you for fill my purpose!" a deep voiced boomed, shattering the silence.

We were taken into a small room, with rows of cages containing poor pets like us. I was put into a cage with a poor looking white Aisha. She fur was all knotted and shaved off in a few places. She looked at me with pitiful large brown eyes that were filled with tears.

"What’s your name? I’m LalaTessio, but you can call me Lala!" I told her with fake cheerfulness.

"I’m Juneika," she muttered. She spread out on the floor and sighed.

"Do you have a owner?" I asked her softly.

At one her eyes lit up, and she seemed to drift off…

"Yeah," she muttered dreamily "Her name is bithdayhappycake…"and dozed off.

I could hear her snoring softly and felt angry. Who could be doing such a thing? At once my mind came back to the stranger I saw at the airport and knew that there had to be a connection.

***

I woke up with a start and expected to be in my fluffy feather bed at the hotel. But, sadly, I wasn’t.

"Wake up!" Juneika whispered urgently. "She’s here!"

"She? Who’s she?" I whispered back to her.

"She works for Dr. Sloth. No one here has ever seen what she looks like!" Juneika whispered suspiciously. "They say her name is Sweet_Angel44. Bah!" Juneika snorted and sat down nicely, as if to say she was attentive.

And you know old me. I got too curious. I pushed my head between the bars and peered around. Something is hiding in the shadows! I realised.

Suddenly, our cage lock came undone, and I tumbled head over heels out of the cage. (Luckily it was on the bottom floor.)

"Whew!" I cried relived, for the guard was fast asleep.

I motioned for Juneika to come out of the cage and she tiptoed quietly out.

An Acara, who was sleeping, suddenly cried in her sleep.

"Shoot!" Juneika cried and we ran back into our cage and shut the door.

A cloud Kau came out from the shadows.

"So that’s who is Sweet_Angel44!" I whispered.

She looked very drowsy, like she didn’t want to be there.

"Oh! A newcomer!" she said trotting over to our cage. "I’m sorry you had to be caught" she said softly.

"You mean you don’t like kidnapping us?!?" I cried.

"No, not at all, but I have to get my pay somehow, don’t I?" she asked.

"Go to the Employment Agency!" Juneika cried, rolling her eyes.

"Good point" the confused Kau said.

"So, what do they do here?" I asked.

"This is a potion testing lab. I think they are trying to turn you guys into mutants" Sweet_Angel44 whispered.

"Why don’t you free all of us?" I begged.

She thought it over. "We’d have to sneak past the guards" she told us.

"It’s worth a shot," I cried.

"I got a bottle of rose wine in my cage!" a red Kyrii claimed, who was listening to our conversation.

"Great! They will be out in no time!" I crowed.

Sweet_Angel44 took the bottle of wine from the Kyrii and trotted away.

***

She came back with an empty bottle.

"They’re out like lights!" she giggled.

Right away, Juneika, Sweet_Angel44 and I started to free all of the hungry pets. Snacls rushed over to us.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yep!" he smiled

I climbed up onto Sweet_Angel44’s desk and cried out "Everyone! Form a line!"

At once, all the pets created a long line. I got to the front of the line and led all the pets past the sleeping guards.

"Not so fast!"

I flipped around and came face to face with Dr. Sloth!

"I was you in the airport!" I gasped.

"Yep," he boomed "and I will make you all into mutants! Wah ha ha ha ha!" He grabbed Juneika and sneered at me. "And this little Aisha will be first!"

"Oh no you don’t!" I cried, and sent an exploding snowball right into his face!

"Run!" Juneika screamed as Dr. Sloth clawed at his face, dropping her.

We all streamed out of the iron door, through the alley, and onto the bright and cloudy streets of Faerieland!

You could see pets running in every direction, eager to find their owners.

"Thanks!" Juneika yelled as she ran past me.

"No problem!" I called after her.

Snacls and I ran down the street towards Faerie City happily, where Poogle019 and eeyore awaited us with open arms.

"Where have you been? We’ve been searching for six hours!" eeyore cried.

"It’s a long story" I told her. " For now, let's shop!"

And we all ran happily down the streets of Faerie City, window shopping!

The End
