Spirit Animal Ficlets

Elastic

It felt like something was stretching. He could feel it, the stretching. The Young One pulling at his mind. Rollan needed to get to The Young One. It had begged for the one it sought, for thrm to bring what it was looking for. The Young One was a baby, looking for something to soothe it. It had found what they were seeking. A mother. Rollan didn't know what a mother was like. His mind was too foggy to remember if he did have a mother.

He followed the others as they went to where The Young One was calling from. The pain of stretching slowly became less then less as they drew nearer. They all knew what The Young One had sought for it's mother. A boy with brown eyes and red-brown curls, he had a boar as his animal.

Hands grabbed Rollan, pulling him away from the group and further from The Young One. The stretching began to grow more and more. The boy struggled in his captor's grip "No! No! Let me go! The Young One is calling, why do you take me from them?" He said.

The man struggled holding Rollan still as the boy thrashed "Rollan stop, I don't know what's going on but something isn't right," he stated.

Rollan still kept thrashing, he needed to get to The Young One. It called to him but he couldn't reach it.

Rollan was imprisoned in a big place. He could feel the mother drawing near, they had come for their child. The Young One had given him something new to do. Get The Mother. Rollan started at the ground, he would get The Mother and bring them to The Young One.

The stretching of the other grew weaker and weaker as they grew closer to him. Rollan looked up as the doors opened. A woman stared at him with black glazed eyes. Rollan smiled as he felt the binds around him broke. They held each others gaze then the helper left the room.

Rollan took off in the direction of The Mother. The stretching began to weaken more and he followed the feeling of where The Mother was.

"Oh Mother! Where are you? The Young One seeks you!" Rollan's voice echoed in the building.

The corrupted boy turned a corner. There stood The Mother next to a girl. A girl who should not be anywhere near The Mother. He watched as they got close and felt the disgust flood him. In a moment, he grab the back of her neck and yanked her away from The Mother.

Rollan snarled "Do Not Touch Mother You Disgusting Wrench," he said lowly. The controlled boy shoved the strange girl to the ground and looked at The Mother, unaware of the emotion on his face.  Rollan walked closer to the other boy and held out his hand, not as an attack but as a friendly gesture "Mother, I can take you to The Young One. They await you Mother," he explained. The stretch was gone and Rollan felt blissful.

Then his world went black.
