Friends With a Monster

Prologue

"Tom go play outside with you brothers and sisters." A voice said outside a little room. A little humanoid monster with purple horns, tail, and claws for hands and feet. He also had a blue hoodie but no one knew how he got it. He says he found it in the woods.

"But mom I don't want to go outside" Tom pouted. He was next to all sorts of books some about the war, others about nature. Tom was reading one about plants.

"Tom maybe you can find some of those plants outside." His mom remarked.

To this Tom jumped up closing his book. His mom moved out the way for her eager son.

"Just be careful, and don't get into trouble, OK."she called. Tom was already out the cave but she knew Tom would never get into trouble and if he did he could always get out of it. She just hoped he knew how to fight his enemy instead of running away.

Tom's POV

I slowly walked into the forest passing the training area where my brothers and sisters practice their fighting moves. I stopped to watch them. Sometimes I wished I could like them, but everytime I ask they just say no. It was normal though.

"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA",someone suddenly screamed. I was pinned down by my brother.

"Ha I'm the best hunter" Theo said as he praised himself. I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but he had pinned me hard. One of his claws was on my stomach the other one my throat. He wouldn't have hurt me, because Theo was the least roughest of my brothers. Of course I was the least roughest but I don't fight soooooooo it doesn't really count.

"You call that hunting. At least give the loser some scars. Then you will be a real hunter." It was HIM. Hunter. I suddenly pushed Theo off of me. He landed on his back with an oof. Hunter helped Theo and confronted me.

I ran to where I was going before so I won't be in the way. I stopped at my secret spot. It was a cave with a large hole in the middle. The sun was beaming through it allowing flowers to grow. There was a pond in the middle of it that sparked in the sunlight. From time to time an animal, mainly rabbits would drink from the pond or eat a flower. I walked to the pond and looked at my reflection. I had stubby horns and a small tail. My claws are....well....they're smaller than the others but They're sharper and I could swim unlike the rest. I had no eyes because of this disease called Ophthalmolegro. It basically means you are either born with black eyes or no eyes.

As I watched my reflection ripple in the water, a small boy who seemed to be about the same age as me walked in. I didn't notice him until he came up behind me and I saw him in my reflection.

The boy had his hair in the shape of horns and black shorts with a gray beanie and red hoodie with a robot on it. I watched him in my reflection, wondering what he would do. A few seconds later he grabbed my horns, making me yelp in surprise and started climbing onto me like I was car or plane.

He made vroom noises with his mouth as he drove me around. I was confused for a solid bit until I realized he was nice and meant no harm. He merely wanted to play. Usually when I saw people they didn't notice me and when they did they tried to capture me, but this boy, he was different.

I quite liked him at that. I shook him off and stood over him.

"Sorry to interupt your playing, but who are you... what's your name?" I asked the strange boy.

"I am a boy, the name is Tord. I saw you and you look like me age. So I want play." He had a thicc accent and it was obvious his first language was not English.

"Oh, well Hi Tord. I'm Tom, where are you from?" I asked eager to know him better.

"A place named Norway." He rolled his 'r' when he said that. "I am a Norwegian. You do not sound like my family, where are you from?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

"I'm from uhh... here." I shrugged not knowing the exact location

He was cute, with his head tilting and childhood innocence. Now it was clear not all humans were bad.

"Tord! Tord, buddy where did you go!?" Shouted a mysterious person

"Oh, me have go now." Tord smiled and ran, he stopped at the cave entrance and looked back "I come back tomorrow?"

I nodded my head and leaped back, hiding. A person with thicc eyebrows and another with hair parted like chicken wings walked up and hugged Tord. Then they walked off.
