Strangers To Trust

(???'s POV)

I just shook my head. It was just like Ross to defend himself. "How would you like it if I called you 'Just a human' huh? Would you like that!"

       Ross was very passionate about squirrel rights. "Ross!" I whispered to him. He seemed to get it. He started to try to pretend once more. "Chirp chirp....Imma a squirrel?"

       The people just shrieked louder. That was when I knew I had to step in. "I'm sorry about Ross."

"Who are you?" The blue haired woman snarled threateningly. "My name is Shubble. And this is Ross, my... familiar." I begged Ross with my eyes and he seemed to nod in defeat.

           "I'm very sorry about that. Ross is very passionate about the rights of squirrels." To emphasize on my answer, Ross added, "Did you know that recently, with everything happening, forrests are burning and more squirrels are dying."

             They backed off warrily, stepping infront of one lady. They muttered to one another and I stepped forwards. "Have you seen a little house in this forrest? I came looking for my friend, Hyria?"

              "Hyria?" The lady in purple muttered confusingly. "Yes! I came for a visit but it appears as though I am lost." I lied. I know where her house is but knowing Hyria, these strangers know her as well.

              They looked at eachother and silently agreed to help me. "Okay, follow us. It's just this way."

(Aphmau's POV)

I had no idea what was happening but I did not like it. These people felt familiar, but in a very strange way.

"Are we sure we should trust them?" Katelyn asked, "Because they showed out of the blue and I think they were spying on us."

"If they know Hyria then they must know something about all of this." Garroth replied.

Katelyn agrees, though a bit reluctantly. We quietly trekked back to Hyria's house. While we were talking with eachother, Ross and Shubble seemed to be doing the same.

We knocked on her door and she walked out. Ross jumped out of Shubble's shoulder and toward Hydia. "Ross!" She grinned.

Reaching down with her hand, Ross jumped on, obviously pleased with seeing her. Shubble rushed into a hug as we just watched in silence, confused. "Aphmau, you have come as well."

I walked forwards and said "We have no idea what to do with Shad's relic. We need you help."

Hydia looked at us and then to Ross and Shubble. "I haven't told you about The Jury, have I?"
