On their expedition to find food Night had encountered a very exotic looking fruit tree. Knowing how much Lizzy likes fruit he decided it would be pleasurable to attain some and possibly take the time later to hunt... something. He wanted to actually eat some kind of meat, he just had no flipping idea what would be right to eat! He wouldn't want someone coming after his dog or cat, or some kind of pet like creature and eating it. He wasn't even sure if there were that many creatures in this area. He didn’t even know what WAS edible or not...
Night rammed the tree with his shoulder, causing the strange color fruits to fall. He picked one up and realized they were a lot like coconuts, yet shades of purple and blue. He wondered what they were like inside. There were a lot of things similar to the world he knew, but they all appeared differently, different skins or strange colors.
Night looked around for something to crack it on, Lizzy watching him from a distance as she looked for food herself. Night raised the coconut-thing above his head and brought it down upon the rock with a loud crack. It split open in-between his hands and pink liquid spilled out. He made a face at the sticky sweet smell and tilted his head when he realized there was a creature in the middle. He dropped what he thought was a fruit and took a few steps back in disbelief.
Lizzy dropped the flowers in her hands and ran over. "What?? What is it?" Night looked at her and then back at the critter. It was black and red stripped, curled up in a fetal position inside the shell. Lizzy crept closer to it to investigate. Night wanted to grab her and keep her from the thing but he felt as though she was the one who would know best, just as the other situations.
The little thing squirmed and made a small cry. Lizzy sat on her knees in front of it and smiled. She stuck her hand out to it and as it barely opened its eyes it took hold of her finger with its tiny claws. It didn't seem to be hurting her so Night didn't feel as uneasy. As soon as it made a wrong move he would be ready to stomp it into the ground.
The creature rolled out of the shell and onto its little four legs. Night wasn't sure what the hell it was but he knew it looked dangerous. Lizzy got down low and let it walk up to her face. It tilted its spiky little head and blinked its 4 eyes. It sniffed the air she was exhaling and then licked her nose. Lizzy giggled and put her hands out to scoop it up.
Night was still unsure but it seemed to be playful with her and so he let it go for now. He was worried how large that thing was going to get and how he could get that smell off of his hands. He tried wiping them off on a large leaf, which removed all of the residue but he could still smell what was that pink liquid on him.
The little creature caught wind of the smell after a few moments. It tried to flap its little wings to fly but was still growing accustomed to its own body. It squirmed in Lizzy’s arms until she set it down. The spiky thing trotted clumsily towards Night and looked up at him. It reared up on its hind legs, not even reaching Nights knee cap and made an unearthly whimpering noise. Night was slightly taken aback by the sound but he put his hands down for it. The creature crawled into Nights hands and licked him.
Night felt odd but had a feeling that this creature wasn't going to leave them alone, even if he wanted it too. He looked at Lizzy with an odd expression and then burst into laughter. It startled the creature but then it made a noise that sounded like it was mimicking Nights laugh in its own tongues. It was almost as if it was speaking in more than one voice at a time. Lizzy joined in the laugher and stood next to Night, petting the little things head.
"What should we name him?" Lizzy asked. Night shrugged. "Why don't you name him Elizabeth. Assuming tis a boy... I'm not even sure what it tis or why... I doona have a clue" He laughed again.
