Ratchet and Clank: The Warrior's heart

Chapter 4

As I stepped outside I gave a wide smile. All the thick green trees and lush green grass, it was amazing. I couldn't believe I was outside because it's been so long. I looked up at orange and purple sky, the sun was beginning to set in the distance.

I began walking through the forest, if I walked towards the bright lights that shone towards the west I'd be a be at Metropolis in no time. As I waked I had a feeling that someone was watching me. It was strange but I tried to ignore it. I'm probably just being paranoid. I gave a long sigh, I was almost at the end of the forest because the trees where spreading out instead of being close together. I knew how the forest worked because I've been in them as a kid.

My ear twitched slightly whenever I heard a branch hit the ground. I looked at the trees behind me and jumped when I saw a pair of dull green eyes staring at me. A golden fur lombax with brown stripes was sitting in the tree but I didn't get a good look at him because he quickly leaped into another tree. I was being watched! I was going to run towards the lombax but then I realized he was gone.

I slowly backed up, making sure I kept my crystal blue gaze on the area that lombax once sat perched. I felt nervous because I thought he might come and kill me. "Is anyone there?" I asked like a complete idiot. Of course a person that's trying to kill you isn't going to tell you that they're around.

I turned around and just continued to walk. "Mindi, your going crazy because nothing was there." I said out loud. What? There's no one else here to tell me I'm going crazy.

I walked out the woods and gasped at how big Metropolis is. The city was seemed to be full life. It was bright with many lights and all kinds of space ships where quickly flying past. I wonder if Ratchet is in one of those ships. I slowly stepped onto the sidewalk, a few people that where walking bye looked at me strangely but they kept walking.

"Look at the freak lombax." I turned my head to see a group of female lombaxs walking past. They didn't have tails and their ears where much smaller than mine. "She's probably not even a real lombax."

I twitched my ear slightly and I was about to say something, but they where gone. Did other people really think I was freak because of my tail and large ears? Did my mother and father hate my ears and tail? I began walking in the opposite direction of the lombax girls. It hurts when people think I'm a freak because of something I can't help. People can be such jerks yeah know that right.

I felt like people where starting at me as I walked. I could feel their cold gazes against my pelt. Did everyone think that something was wrong with me? Was there something wrong with me? Am I even a full blooded lombax?

Those are the questions that tend to circle my mind.
