A Life Before This One (RatsSMP Fanfic)

The Garden

[Here's a chapter incoming all!]

Scott's Pov.

I was in the garden, waiting for Owen and Apo about something. It was winter though, so I was questioning on why they wanted to meet here and no where in the attic. Surely they know one of us could get sick out here while meeting here. Maybe I should ask Owen when he's coming with Apo.

Hey Owen! Where are you and Apo? Are you on your way right now? I asked Owen, waiting for a response

Sorry Scott! But we moved from the garden to the attic, we thought we told you already. Can you make your way from the garden to the attic in my house?

Oh! No problem Owen. I'll start going now. I lied in response.

Everything was not fine as the Gardener was out for some reason and if they see me I'll get caught. I started becoming cold aswell as I was out there since morning, and it was already the afternoon. I crawled away from my hiding spot, which was the tall bush wall that helped blocked the previous wheat fields.

"My god, if I knew how to start an indoor farm in this weather. The family wouldn't have to struggle and buy stuff from the store often. Why didn't I think about winter?!" An old voice said nearby, I looked over and saw the Gardener speaking to himself.

An indoor farm? I know how to make those! I'm an expert at those, maybe I could teach him? I started thinking.

No Scott! Your already busy and your best friend thinks your already making your way to the attic to the meeting. Plus, if I stay any longer, I could freeze to death and lose a second life!  I argued with myself. Although, in my head, it felt like the right thing to do was to help.

"Oh please, anyone! Send me a sign or anything to help me in this problem! The family could be in danger.." I overheard the Gardener begging for help.

No. I've already got things keeping me from helping him. I kept thinking, trying to not think of a possibility of helping a human.

No! I am not that kind of rat to not help others! If I freeze I'll freeze doing something kind to someone. I finally settled, and slowly walked a bit closer to the Gardener.

"A rat?! Wait, your that little rat who I sometimes see picking from the garden and replanting them! Well sorry bud, do you need something? The garden is pretty much gone now due to winter.." The Gardener said when noticing me.

I pulled out the gardening hoe that grandma had given me called Grandma's Gift and showed him it.

"Oh, you like gardening too? Well, wanna help me with this project I'm working on?" He asked, and I immediately nodded without hesitation.

He put out his hand, signaling for me to get on. I did exactly that, and crawled onto his shoulder while he walked to the garage for some reason. While walking, I noticed more of my hair had the purple streaks in it, and it would be harder to hide soon. I pushed my hair problems to a different day though, as I see the garage for the first time. It was a big, open area, with areas set up for a farm.

Why does he need help with this anyways..? He should have a lot more experience than me, surely. I started questioning, then pushed that question out of my mind.

[I'm so sorry I have to end it here, if I continue this will be one long chapter, so this will be 2 parts.
