dartya: Yep, it seemed like the place where no one ever gets inserted, so I thought it would be a good idea. Seems like we had the same thoughts:)

Anonymous (Guest): I do too! Thank you.

Noah stumbled across the beach hesitantly, brown eyes flickering towards the forest paraniodly. Oh God, what if there were dangerous animals in there - it was likely, seeing as animals lived in forests and could be dangerous in the right situation. She would be defenseless against a bear or a wolf or something. She decided that she would stick to the beach for now.

Noah sat down on the sand, her wet clothes sticking uncomfortably against her body, and she pushed her sopping wet curls away from her face. The brunette winced as her fingers caught in her snarled hair. She sighed and pulled her knees up to her chest, allowing her hand to fall away from her face. Noah buried her face in her knees.

She was so scared.

Noah had no idea what just happened to her and she didn't know where she was or how she got there, not to mention that she generally disliked beaches (which stemmed from an unpleasant childhood expirience). She was in a bit of a pickle and had no idea what to do next. So she did the next best thing. She sobbed. She wished that she was back at home, back with her mother and (even though she was mad at him) her father. Her father had always been the one to pick her up when she fell and puit her back on her feet with a smile. And at the moment, Noah was in desperate need of being picked up.

But there was no father around for her right now. No one to pick her up and say, "It's okay, No'. Don't cry, hunny."

She sobbed harder.

Squeak~!

Noah shrieked in surprise as something warm and fuzzy pressed against her leg. She picked up her head (she was certain she looked hideous with her face puffy from crying and nose dripping snot) to look at the strange creature in front of her.

It was a small thing with soft, black and white fur. Noah would have called it a panda, but pandas were bigger than chichuachuas and didn't have bat wings. The panda-bat blinked up at her and squeaked again. She hesitantly lifted a hand out to it and rubbed its fuzzy head. The little creature gurgled happily under her petting and Noah's lips twitched. The little animal was adorable and she couldn't help but smile at it, no matter how miserable she was feeling. The panda-bat crawled into her lap eagerly, pressing its head into Noah's chin like a cat would. The brunette continued to pet it and she turned her eyes back to the water and her thoughts turned back to her mother.

Her mother would be worried. Mom worried about everything and Noah's sudden disappeareance would be hard on her. Wasn't it enough that they'd lost Dad, but now they lost each other too. God, nothing was going right for her family. It was so fucked up. And now she was stuck on some island with only a panda-bat of all things!

Noah Raegan groaned and hugged her ne animal friend tightly.

Life sucked.

Sorry it's so short. It'll definetally pick up next chapter.
