A Life Before This One (RatsSMP Fanfic)

Investigation (Pt. 3)

R! Scott's Pov.

I started sliding down the chimney, asking the rats still there with rope to give me it to bring it to the top. A few rats like Bek were determined to make it up themselves but most gave me the rope they had. I had told the rats who had gifted me their rope to go back down. In total it was 15 rope, hopefully enough. I started climbing to the top again, quickly making progress, as some of the rats who gifted me their rope watched in awh of how fast I was.
I then made it to the top again, meeted by Owen and Jimmy, one of the rats who wanted to bring the rope to Owen themselves.

"Welcome back up, anyways, the rope?" Owen asked me, I silently nodded, giving him the 15 rope I had.

He then added it to the rope, then seeing as someone started to tug at it, and slowly climb up the ropes. The first crow, a female one had climbed up the rope, then to the side where me, Jimmy, and Owen were. Then the second, a male one, who again looked familiar to me. A message in all our minds appeared as we waited for Martyn to climb up. (I'll explain in a small chapter how it works.)

InTheLittleWood went up in flames

"Oh no! That's Martyn's 3rd life..." Jimmy spoke, we were all aware that somehow Martyn had managed to get 4 lives instead of 3. Although no one questioned it now.

"I'll check on him when we get off this chimney, come on guys"

We all listened, and started climbing down careful. I was more focused on one of the crows, I for some reason, had the thought that I had already known their name. And it felt like I've known them for so long aswell. We made it to the ground, a crowd then appearing and started asking questions.

"Seems like you guys got the crows out" Apo said finally, for all of us to be able to hear him.

"Yep! We have some guests here now, we should bring them inside to the attic, as it's pretty cold though.." Owen spoke afterwards, and signaled for everyone to follow him.

We all followed, the crows clearly looked unsure about them following a rat something they could simply murder at any chance. Although they did end up following us, we went back inside by a broken window near Bek's washing machine she had as a home. We then all followed Owen back to the eternal flame. I then spoke something to the familiar seeming crow.

"So Philza, how are you?" I asked him, his name was just some instinct to say.

There was a few seconds of silence, till Philza answered the question.

"Doing good Scott, how about you? You look so different and not like your normal self, did you turn into a rat or something?" The crow, Philza, then responded.

The group was silent, unsure on what to say or do. The crow hadn't even introduced himself yet but Scott somehow knew his name! I wasn't sure on how to respond, as I actually haven't at all met Phil. I just somehow knew his name and he knew mine.

Phil then laughed a bit, then spoke.

"So, you going to respond mate?" He asked, waiting for my response.

"Uhm, yeah! I'm good aswell" I answered, trying my best to avoid the other questions he had asked.

"Well that's nice, we should chat more later. And away from this crowd" Phil said, calling out the rats who were watching and listening to their conversation waiting for them to get to the eternal flame.

As they were already close to it when they got there. I nodded in response, as we continued walking to the eternal flame.

"So, Scott, when were you going to introduce us to your friend? You guys seem to already know each other somehow, even though you haven't said anything about meeting a crow named Phil" Martyn said, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Uhm, well we met, a long time ago! It's been so long since we last met. Right Phil..?" I quickly made up a lie, and hoped Phil would catch on and play along.

"Uh, Yeah! We haven't seen each other in forever.." Phil said, giving me a look of confusion and uncertainty.

"Well, for now we should sleep before actually do something about these crows. We could make a quick house for you guys if you want?" Owen said, walking up to us after seeing all of that go down.

Magic time skip to after the house was built

All the rats who were still awake, Martyn, Owen, Apo, Jimmy, and me. Finally finished making a quick house for the 2 crows, Kara and Phil, to temporarily stay at for the night. It wasn't that furniture, but it had 2 beds for the 2 of them to sleep. We then all said goodnight to each other to finally sleep. As I walked back to my house with barely any energy left, ready to sleep, I noticed something up with a bit of my top hair [Would it be fur instead? Eh whatever-], for some reason, a streak of it was purple?

I attempted to hide the purple streak, it didn't work out much compared to the rest of my hair(?) being a bright cyan. But I'd figure that I'll deal with it in the morning. I then walked back to my bedroom, onto my bed, laying in silence as I waited to fall asleep.

[Wooo! Part 3 is done! Sorry to everyone that it took so long, I was thinking about what on earth to do. I'll do an explanation for the things like death messages and chat messages in a separate chapter. Thank you all for reading and being patient with me! See ya later my friends!
