Things Can Change - FENNAH Story

The Walk.

"Where shall we walk to, Dove?" Lucy asked me, walking up behind me with her head near the side of my face, leaning in closely. She was too close to me..I didn't like it. I mumbled softly so only she could hear "Anywhere you want..." Lucy hesitated then raised her head, a grin appeared on her oval face "Follow me!" She giggled, she got onto her four paws and ran toward the sidewalk that was near a black road. She signaled me to follow her,

"Come on, come on!" She was looking at me with impatience in her eyes. Inhaling slowly, I cautiously walked to her, my eyes searching her up and down as if she were to attack. She raised a paw and asked "Which way, Love?", I then looked both ways, noticing the left side of the trail had trees and flowers with rows of houses in the background. I muttered softly so only she could hear "This way..", I pointed to the left, looking up at her with fear in my eyes. She looked to where I was pointing, "Alright, Dove! Let's go!" She skipped onto the sidewalk, heading the direction I chose. I looked both ways, making sure no one was following us then followed behind her, keeping a safe distance away from her.

She said, looking ahead, her tail swaying side to side "Mind if I have a beer? Would you like some, too?" I raised my eyes to look at the back of her head, "Sure...I don't mind...But Ludwig sa-"

- "Oh don't listen to him! Just one. It won't hurt!"

- "Bu-"

She turned around, standing there with a frown on her face. She growled, threatening me as she said "I said just one. It won't hurt. Don't listen to the shithead!" She was sounding very demanding so I decided to go with it. I didn't want her to hurt me. "I-if you say so..Then I-i'll have one..!"

"Great! It'll be fffuunnn!" She giggled and snapped her fingers, a beer appeared in both of her hands. She threw one to me. With panic setting inside me, I moved my paws out in front of me as the glass bottle fell into my paws, sliding out because of my slippery furry fingers. I clamped both of my paws around the body of it then used my squirrel teeth to pull the cap off. Lucy was watching me with a creepy smirk on her face, she nodded "Come on. Take a sip!". I nodded back then tried to raise the bottle to take a drink but it was too heavy.

"Lemme help you." She walked over then grabbed the bottom of the bottle and raised it over my head. I gulped it down, I was taking it all in so fast. Then my body was starting to feel a bit weird. It was heavy, feeling weight all over. When I finished the entire bottle, she pulled it away from my mouth as I licked my lips to get the rest off. "Annnnd?" She had asked me. I allowed the taste to spread throughout inside my mouth. It was very strong and it kind of burned my tongue. I opened my mouth, "It's...weird tasting...But good..!"

She grinned "Good! Now let's keep walking!" I nodded to her, not wanting to upset her again. But then, out of nowhere, I heard that black Kivoackians voice "Hello, hello! What are we doing here?"

Shuck.
