Growing more and more curious, Elizabeth started to slow down her incessant shaking of Night. The smell of chocolate was starting to make her drool. It was as if the most decadent tasting chocolate had been sprayed into the air.

Finally she stood up but stayed next to Night. Looked down as his sleeping face, noting how peaceful he looked. It made her smile until she remembered why she was standing in the first place. Elizabeth rubbed her eyes before looking back at the odd creature that was now a mere 30 feet away.

She tilted her head to the side as a new scent wafted past her. It was the smell of fresh baked cookies. That just made her drool even more as she made a face, trying to concentrate on figuring out what the thing was.

She could see more of it now. There were swirly shapes all over it's body and it was walking on what looked like 4 legs. There was definitely a lot of hair. She wanted to play with it. It looked so soft and silky. This made her slowly walk towards it with her left hand lifted out towards it. She could tell something wasn't right, though. Becoming a bit worried she called out to Night even more now, hoping to get him out the sleep that seemed to be deeper than the ocean they had escaped from.
