The title is self-explanatory...Anyway, I've been thinking, maybe I might update everyday. Why? I guess 'cuz I'm such a good person. *little head imp coughs* OK, and this little 'Head Imp' won't let me rest until I post this.
FYI: You guys are gonna flip at the end of this chapter. And if you don't...there's something wrong with YOU! Not me. I love how this story is going. C'MON PEOPLE REVIEW!
Oh and another thing, MORE NEW CHARACTERS! OH MY GOSH IT'S IN OVERLOAD!
And now...
*Updraft Alley*
"Ugh...That was some fall. I doubt Gregor's here..."
As she dusted herself off, she took in her surroundings.
"Oooh, EW! What IS this place? There's no one here!"
She was right about that. The place seemed like a ghost town. The grass was a sickly purple color, with green highlights. No trees. Clouds of smoke were the closest thing you could get to normal.
"Unbelievable. I try and follow Gregor to the Underland, and I end up...here."
It must have been a coincidence, but alittle tunnel was about 22 feet away. What a strange place to put a tunnel. Unless...
"Maybe that leads back to Regalia!"
She ran for all her little legs were worth. The tunnel was completely dark. Echolocation...If it worked for Gregor, maybe she could try it. When she flicked her tongue nothing happened. She couldn't give up though.
"Gotta keep trying..."
*Opposite Side Of Tunnel*
"How freaking long is this tunnel?!"
"We've only been walking for 20 minutes..."
"Maybe if you did more walking instead of talking, you'd be at the end by now."
"Well then -"
"Wait! Shh. Do you hear that?"
"My stomach growling?"
"No. I hear a clicking noise..."
"Do you think it's Dad?"
"Maybe...Let's keep going!"
*Lizzie's Side Of The Tunnel*
"This is getting me nowhere..."
"Hey, it's coming from over there!"
Lizzie's whole body froze. She had company...
"I'm so tired of running -"
"Hush."
Lizzie surppressed laughter. Maybe her company was friendly...
"Can you smell anything, Sil?"
"Yeah...it's...human."
Or maybe not.
"Yes! Dinner has - OW! What was that for?"
"We don't eat humans!"
Lizzie sighed in relief. A big mistake...
"Look! A human!"
Lizzie's first instinct was to run/high tail it out of there. But her legs weren't listening to her brain's commands.
"Wait! Wait! It's okay! We're not gonna hurt you!"
Lizzie turned. The voice belonged to a small grey Gnawer. She was a pup! Isn't that what Ripred had called...his kids? Still, to trust a rat...
Lizzie got alittle closer. "R-really?"
"GUESS AGAIN NERD - OW! Alright! Sheesh...Kidding!"
The other was a small grey Gnawer too...a male.
"Please, ignore my brother. He's stupid -"
"STUPID?!
"-and special.
"Thank you!...Hey wait a minute!"
Lizzie laughed alittle. "So, um, what are you doing here?"
"Us? We're going back home."
"Home?"
"Yeah this tunnel leads to the Dead Lands. Our mom is waiting for us."
"What about your dad?"
Both Gnawers stared sadly at her.
"Oh, s-sorry..."
The female waved if off. "It's okay. But hey, what's a human as young as you are doing in the Dead Lands?"
"I actually followed my brother here...Well. I don't know where he went."
"Well, 3 is better than one. Maybe...we can help you."
"Nah, you guys gotta get back to your mom anyway."
"Mom won't mind. In fact we'll take you to her!"
"I - you don't - well see -"
"C'mon!"
*Camp In The Dead Land*
"So, you originally lived in a garden?"
"Yeah, but it got flooded..."
"Oh..."
"That's when we were seperated from dad...We escaped with mom..."
"Seperated?"
"Uh-huh. We've been looking for him for awhile..."
"How long?"
"9 months..."
"I'm so so so sorry..."
"It could be worse...I mean, look at Sixclaw and Flyfur. Their dad, Mange was eaten by a huge plant. Or so I've heard..."
"How do you know?"
"Mange and his mate, Lapblood were friends of my mom and dad. Sixclaw and Flyfur...we play together sometimes."
"Your mom?"
"Diamondclaw..."
"Wow. What are your names?"
"My brother's name is Blueclaw."
Lizzie leaned closer.
"My dad named me...Soft as silk and sharp as a knife."
"Who's your dad?"
"I think the Warrior knows him..."
"My brother Gregor?"
"Yeah..."
"Who's your dad?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Ripred..."
Lizzie choked. "You're S - S -
"Silksharp. Nice to meet you Lizzie."
You never saw it coming...

HAPPY ELECTION DAY!
