The first thing I noticed when my eyes came into focus was a jet black ear lowering itself down towards my nose.
Now, that normally isn't a very scary thing, but as at the time I had no knowledge of anything that wasn't instinctual, it seemed to me what would be the cause of my immediate death..
I uttered an unintelligible noise and flailed around. My movements were sluggish, and were restricted even further by the straps that held me down.
The ear moved away as its owner was startled by my sudden and odd outburst. The next thing I saw were a big pair of bright red eyes.
Somehow, the look in the creatures eyes stopped me from struggling. Even though I had yet not seen my own face, I recognized something in the creature that I felt deep down within myself.
We stared at each other for a long moment, until the creature turned and started to undo the straps that held me prisoner.
When I was free of the accursed restraints, I did not move right away, simply because I did not know how.
My eyes had functioned automatically, as had my brain and certain instinctual things such as breathing, but I was unable even to lift my finger. The creature saw this and looked down upon me, puzzled at first, but then resolved. She said something at the time I did not understand, not knowing language. Giving me a determined look, she turned and disappeared from my sights.
It was agonizing just laying there, not knowing what was happening, or where she had gone. I was determined to look somewhere other than straight up at the ceiling, so I began trying to move my body for the first time.
However, no attempt succeeded, and I had resigned myself to having to stay in the current position when suddenly a hot band of electricity exploded up and down my body.
My body went rigid, and suddenly I was aware of the coldness of the room, the pain in my limbs, and the brightness of the overhead lights. I gave an upward twitch and then my body relaxed, suddenly becoming warm. I was about to attempt sitting up when my body went rigid and my vision shut down.
In the darkness there was silence, and then my brain exploded with images. They sped by faster than I could even think to look at them, and then as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone.
I opened my eyes then and sat up, only to feel a sharp pain in my head. I put a paw up to my forehead, and startled myself as I had with the creatures ear. I quickly learned that this furry appendage belonged to me. I remembered then why I had tried to move in the first place, and looked around for the creature, but it was gone.
The room was very gray. A dark hole loomed in front of me, and on either side were great big rusty machines with many buttons and dials. I slid off of the table and tried to move forward, but fell flat on my face, as I did not know how to walk.
I used my arms to turn around towards the table, when I was surprised once again. Looking at me from the bottom of the table was a very strange creature indeed. (and now that I think of it, quite handsome, yes?) I realized I was looking at myself but was not quite sure how. I did not find myself strange looking at all, as I did not know what other creatures looked like.
I braced my paws against the floor and pushed up as hard as I could, which resulted in me banging my head on the underside of the table, twisting away, and then falling down hard on my back. A new pain coursed through my body. I rubbed my forehead vigorously, wincing, and then moved my arm to rub my back, only instead I grabbed a handful of feathers. They were a new feeling to the hard metal and rocky cement. I touched them, feeling their softness. I wondered what these things were, and didn't realize they were attached to my back. Therefore I gave a mighty yelp of pain when I pulled out a feather, wanting to examine one more closely. I set the lone black feather down upon the table and continued again to explore these new appendages on my body. I felt higher and traced the warm feathers down to where it became fur, and then to where they attached to my body.... only... they didn't.
I stood wobbly next to the full size mirror and looked at the things basically floating behind me. For indeed, they were not attached, but instead ended in a curl. I reached behind and tugged at them, seeing if I could move them around to the front, to no avail. Somehow they were stuck to my body though there were no physical attachments.
I shrugged and jumped, startled as the wings moved with my shoulder movement. Squinting and looking at them shrewdly, I hunched my shoulders once again, and continued the movement. It was a strange sensation as I felt the wings going up and down. I was startled further as I suddenly zoomed straight up into the ceiling and cracked my head on the cement and passed out.
Oh no, not another one!
Oh, be quiet Alastor! So, what do you think it is, Raz?
I'm not sure, it kind of looks like a kougra, but..
Well, we'll find out later, help me drag it onto this tarp so we can pull it out of here.
*rumble rumble rumble*
Alastor, is that your stomach?
Hm.. no... I just ate the last pepperoni omelet before we came..
Hey! That was mine!
Pink, Alastor!
*rumble rumble*
*CRASH!*
CAVE IN!
CAVE IN!
CAVE IN!
Come on you two, we've got to get it out of here fast!
I came to again in a whole different world. Millions of different colors swam before my eyes, but in a few moments, they began to take shapes.
Wow, I'm glad we got out of there in time.
Hey, look! It's waking up.
He, it's a he.
Hey, how did you O_O
Shhh, nevermind. Let's poke him awake.
Ok
Ok!
I squirmed at the jabs in my side, groaning.
Cut it out.
Hey! He spoke! You couldn't speak at first, he must be way smarter than you!
Yeah, well at least neither of us eat SOCKS!
You keep using that line but you don't seem to realize I'm not offended by it!
I was startled by the sounds coming out of my mouth, but more startled that I could understand what the others were saying. My programming....
Programming?
I thought. Yes, programming. My programming must have kicked in, for I had been Made.
I stood, and discovered I could finally walk. Looking around, I realized I knew the names of every single tree, plant, insect, and animal that appeared around me. I stumbled forward, towards the Lenny. "Rhododendron?" I mumbled, reaching out for it, and suddenly everything became black once more.
I awoke for a third time, now on a rather pokey bed of hay. Enraged voices rose from beside me.
...... still can't see why you thought you had to knock him out with a rock, Alastor!
He was coming right at me! Didn't you see? His claws were six inches long, and coming right for my face! I had to protect myself! Besides, he was insane and mumbling nonsense! You know how deranged and dangerous mumblers are!
Yeah.. I see one of those deranged mumblers right now. -_-
Hah.. funny... *mumbles* I dont mumble.
Oh, look you two! He's awake again!
I sat up and backed against the wall. "Why are you people trying to kill me?" I said, exasperated.
Only Pink is a people, and she wasnt the one trying to kill you, that was HIM. He's a lenny. I'm a lupe."
Hey! It's you!" I pointed at her. "Are you the ones that kept me in that horrible place?
No," The lupess said. "See what happened was...
I listened, enraptured by her story. "So... we are.. we were.. Made?" I asked. "But how did you come to be in this place?"
The lupess recounted her story to me while I listened, amazed.
I'm Raziel, by the way. That's Alastor, the sock eating Lenny, and that's Pink our hm.. well some neopets call them moms, others call them owners. It depends on your preference.
Just call me Pink. It's simpler. Wow! We need to make a new room, get some new furniture find him a petpet... well.. that is if you want to stay, of course. After Raziel stopped trying to kill us she decided to stay, so will you?
Well, sure.. why not?
Sometimes, usually when Pink and Raziel are chasing Alastor down the hall as he runs off with an armful of our socks, when Raziel appears out of nowhere, hanging upside down by her feet, and when Pink attempts to cook, I think about the consequences of those four small words, but eventually I smile then chase after Alastor with Pink and Raziel to join in the fun.
The End
