Zika and Disguise

~*~*~*Zika and Disguise*~*~*~*~*~

*Zika's Point of View*.

I silently crept forward almost reaching Roze's tail. Then I jumped , my white fur glowing in the sun. My fur was speckled with orange too, so no one ever noticed me when I hid between the fallen leaves in winter.

My paws caught Roze's tail right in the middle. She jumped in fright , then smiled when she saw me . " Goodness, Zika, you gave me such a scare!" Roze pretended to faint , her form flickering between a possum and an eagle. Her favourite form was a falcon.

Mine was leopard. But no matter what any Aretna changed to, they always had the same pattern of colours. Unfair.

Anyway I grinned in response and ran away right into Geso. He was one of the oldest ones here, and he right now, was a giant German shepherd. His muzzle was speckled with grey , and the reason he was usually a German shepherd was because his colour was that of a German shepherd. Geso stumbled and snapped his blue eyes on to me.

I crouched down under his glare. "This is the 652 time you have stumbled into me. " He said angrily. "Sorry Geso!" I squeaked.

Then he did something unexpected . He nodded at me and laughed. I stared at him in awe. He never laughed before. "Why are you so surprised Zika ? "

"It's just , well sir , you usually hate everyone and never laugh. " I mumbled .

This amused him " who told you so little kit? " I didn't know what to say .

"You shouldn't believe everything you hear. I know I may seem grumpy and I am at times. But I also am not grumpy. Would you like to be my friend? "

My eyes widened. Me a friend of Geso?

"Yes sir. I would like to be your friend sir. " Geso smiled. " Then go on little one . Go knock over another poor old Aretna . "

"Hey!" I growled playfully " yes sir ! I shall sir ! " And with these words I ran into Crystal .

Crystal the cobra fell over. "Watch where you're going !" Her voice was muffled . I poked her. She glanced at me , and her face broke into a wide smile . "Zika! Hi! I was just going to look for you!"

I tilted my head. "For what? " She glanced around and hissed . "Spectrum is calling for you ."

"Oh. Thanks! I'm coming " I replied and hurried off. The reason I hadn't heard her call was because I was born with this rare disorder which made me unable to hear the calls of Humani, unless I was in a place with no one.

I arrived at my favourite place, a small cave behind ivy that had a small cool pool in the middle. It was great there. I closed my eyes and sent my thoughts to Spectrum.

Hey Spectrum! It's me Zika! I said inside her mind.

Zika! You're here! Thank goodness! She said happily in her mind . She was one of the Humani who could communicate while they weren't sleeping. How are you? Is everything good in the camp?

It's great! I replied. Do you need help?

Her voice turned serious . Yes. First, I need to know where the Diamethysts are. And I need help getting out of this place.

Alright , I'll do my best. See you later.

Wait! She exclaimed . Can you tell me, who is Helmer?

What a strange question . I searched his mind. To be blocked by a force.

He is no Humani. He is one of the-

I couldn't finish my sentence . His subconsciousness shut me . Mmmm! Mmmmmm mm mmmm !

What? Asked Spectrum What is he?!

I faded out of her mind . I hated his kind. They always had something against us. Even if he didn't know, he was still one of them , and his very soul resented us.

I should inform Roze. I stood up and stretched, still confused by everything, and went off to find Roze.

* Quandi's Point of View*

The Voice stared down at me from his chair. I was in his office , summoned because of some serious matter .

"Yes sir ?" I asked . He ordered me to sit down.

I sat down. He looks at me , then folds his hands and says " You have been summoned here by me."

Wow! What a surprise! I'm so astounded ! Instead I say " yes sir. "

"You see, we have some problems. We are running out of food, and we need some fast. And..."

I could see where this was going. He would ask me to go out of this camp with a guard, and kidnap someone . "I understand sir. " I said. What could I possibly do?

" I'm glad that you do. Go away now. " I quickly stood up and went out . A guard pushed me out of the doors of the camp. And I was so close to freedom ! But I couldn't reach it. Unless.... Unless I beat guard.

I decide to risk it . If I failed , I'll suffer horribly, but this time I shall not fail.

Caramel. Caramel came to my help. I used my strength combine with his to punch the guard right in his face. He fell flat. And immediately, activated by his unconsciousness, an alarm went off.

I ran . Caramel helped a lot. Tree! Climb one! Hide in it! Caramel steered me over to a great oak. I grasped its branches and climbed. Higher and higher. All these jobs at the place with the Voice kept me fit enough to climb. Besides I was also young. About 18.

Okay let me explain. All that chubby-ness was just my clothes. It was part of my disguise. And my moustache was an old rag . But I really liked it, so I made it into a moustache and fooled everyone into thinking I'm 30 or something. So yeah. I managed to escape.
