Macaque x Neglected reader

"Stop!" You pleaded as the group of girls you thought had been your friends laughed. They tossed your sketchbook betwixt each other. Keeping your prized possession just a breath from your fingertips. The leader, your adoptive older sister finally caught the book and you grabbed her arm. "Why are you doing this?! I just wanted to be friends!"

Her amusement quickly turned to anger.

"You?! You're nothing but an attention seeking-" She advanced on you. Each step accompanied another insult. "Ugly, useless, piece of garbage they never even wanted! You will never be our friend!" She shoved you back hard sending you into a canal.

You gasped as you fell back. The icy water slammed into your back and shocked your body. You struggled to swim against the hard current. You tumbled under the water attempting to get your bearings as your lungs burned from want of air.

Finally, your head broke above the water's surface and screams touched your ears. Though you hardly listened to them as panic raked up your veins. You couldn't swim well and the current was pushing you somewhere unknown.

You gazed around in a panic trying to find something, anything to grab onto. Just then something curled around your waist and tugged you out of the cold depths.

"Look at what we have here." A black monkey smirked up at you. His tail was curled around your waist holding you above the waters but not moving you to safety. He held up your sketchbook with two fingers. "This yours?"

Slowly, you gave a nod.

He opened the book flicking through the pages. "Impressive."

You squirmed a bit.

"Not to sound ungrateful, but could you put me on solid ground?" You asked hopefully.

His purple eyes flicked up to meet yours.

"Well now that depends." He grinned at you. "I need a favor. If you'll help me, I'll put you on the shore. Refuse and I'll drop you."

You flinched at the threat.

"And what if I just swim?" You asked forcing a brave facade.

The monkey burst into laughter.

"I watched you, kid. You can't swim to save your life. Quite literally."

You huffed.

"What's the favor?"

"I need you to sketch an emblem for me."

You rose your eyebrows.

"Oh. That shouldn't be too hard."

The monkey rose an eyebrow at you.

"Have we got a deal then?"

You nodded.

"Sure."

The monkey placed you on the ground and flicked his tail to remove the excess moisture. And offered you the book.

You took your sketchbook and placed it in your backpack. Which you had thankfully taken off before being thrown into the canal.

"Where'd my sister go?" You asked glancing around.

"Ohoho your sister?" The monkey asked with a bitter chuckle.

"Well I'm adopted." You pointed out. "Her parents chose me fairly recently. She isn't too keen about the whole thing."

The monkey scoffed.

"Right. Come on. I'll walk you home."

"Oh thank you." You accepted the help and walked home with the odd monkey.
