"Mmnnnn"
Ugh, my head is pounding...The last thing I could remember was....oh....well, I guess it definitely wasn't a dream....and I AM still alive.....why me?
Complaining in my own head, I suddenly found myself awake. I was still opening my eyes as I felt too exhausted to rouse myself in one go fully, I'd been here a few moments doing so In stages. One by one, my senses were trickling back to me. The warmth of the bed I was lying in, the smell of coffee and assorted breakfast foods, and the faint sound of numerous people talking reverberated through the walls. As if there were a bar or restaurant somewhere in this place. As my eyesight focused, I was able to make out my surroundings. It looks like I'm in an old cabin resort room. The sunlight forcing itself across the room from the large triangular panes. My sight was still too blurry to see outside, but it was crisp enough that I could make out the assorted rugs, the generic-looking painting, some plant, and lastly, a small fireplace. Looking back to myself, I was stuffed under some quilts and a fur blanket.
"Hmmmmmmph!" I managed to sit up, and it looked like my chest was healed when I looked down. Don't tell me magics actually IS a thing here? Poking at the spot on my chest where the arrow went through, I could feel a mark, but it was clearly healed. Not even a weird feeling when I breathe h-wait...the fur blanket looks more like a scarf. What is this thing supposed to be? Picking it up, the thing felt rather soft and cool.
Within a few moments of poking it, I found myself nuzzling the thing and taking in its feeling before I felt it twitch....which was followed up by something I didn't expect. Thinking back, I didn't bother looking to my sides.
"Mmmmmnn"- ???
"!?"
I flinched a bit from the noise, but when I looked to my side, a woman was lying in bed next to me. She looked twice my size, but I looked over myself before I can't really be surprised. She looked like she passed out on top of the covers, still in her day clothes? Wait....ears?
"Woooh" I stop myself from the sudden reaction, but the ears suddenly twitched. They had to be real; they sort of reminded me of one of the long-haired cats my family had when I was a child. So beast-kin are a thing too? Well, I can't be too surprised my own status said I wasn't human either.
......
Then I thought for a second about her being a cat.....long-haired cat.
......
I looked down at the fur scarf, and the realization hit me.
*Gulp*
I could feel my face on fire...I'm really glad I didn't wake her up...
Placing her tail to my side, I wrote off the last five minutes as events that never happened.
At a second glance, she seemed like one of the people I had tried yelling to for help. I could only vaguely remember, but she was definitely one of them.
