Ferra’s Dream

Chapter 19

She remembered her recurring dreams. It all started with the ones of the other creatures here. The dreams had started not long before she got stuck here. After a while, her dreams of the other creatures were replaced like the one she had had that night. The setting, people, and scene before her always changed in the dream, but the one thing that didn’t, was the warning. The whispers that would surround her at the end, She could tell they were trying to warn her, but she couldn’t tell what they were saying.

“Excuse me?” The voice snapped her out of her thoughts. “What is it Renegade?” She groaned. She didn’t want to deal with idiots this early in the morning. She walked over to the gap and looked through at him. I'm very, very, very, sorry, but we’d like to ask you some questions” he asked. “We?” Ferra hissed in disgust. “Yes, We.” He nodded “me and my friends, Lynx and Rorin.”

“alright” she grumbled “get it over with” she thought she saw him sigh in relief. “We were wondering if you had an idea on how to escape this place” Ferra laughed so hard she thought her chest was going to burst. She calmed herself, wheezing as she grasped for air. “Don’t you think if I knew I would have left already?” She paused for air “I could mutate and launch myself over the walls, but there are too many humans. they’d over power me and either kill me, or put me back in a cage.” She explained. “Oh, um, thank you” he seemed a little surprised by her answer “One moment please” he whipped around to face the other side of his cage.

After a moment, he turned back around. “My friend Lynx would like to know what you mean by ‘mutate’” he asked. Lynx. The thyla. She thought to herself. “Do you know what element is?” she asked in a careful tone. He nodded, and before he could speak, she carried on talking, “when I eat it” her beginning tone of careful fading to careless “I go from adorable and fluffy, to a giant fluffy monster of your nightmares in seconds. I become six times my regular size, and six times deadlier.” Silence surrounded them.

She figured he was probably nodding in response, then after a moment he’d realize she couldn’t see him and eventually respond. He seemed to be the type to smile and nod, laugh at your jokes even if they were bad. Ferra kinda liked that type, she liked to have control over others, but that kind also annoyed her. She didn’t like how polite and friendly they were. How their silence gave away nothing. No secrets she could learn, no information, nothing.

“What if we…'' he said suddenly “work together?” He looked over his shoulder then back at Ferra’s cage. “It was Lynx’s idea. She was wondering if you could get out of your cage and free us. We could then work together to fight the humans off as well as find Ally an-'' Ferra cut him off “Ally who?!” She snorted. “Ally, the white argentavis…you probably haven’t seen her” he explained as he dipped his head a little. She shook her head slightly “No, no. I’ve seen her. Looks kinda dopey.”

Renegade opened his mouth to speak, but closed it as Lynx spoke over him. “We need Ally. We’re not leaving without her. Our only problems are, we’re stuck in here and we don’t know where she is” Ferra looked down and muttered to herself “down to the point much?” She growled. About the same time, a voice yelled from way behind Lynx “or we could just leave the idiot bird!”

Ferra’s tail swished angrily “Renegade!” She yelled “Tell your loud obnoxious bird hating friend to keep his mouth shut or all the humans are gonna come out to see what he’s howling about” she growled. Renegades blinked, then turned around. She heard him bark something to his friend. Rorin, the black wolf I think. She thought. Ferra snorted. “Tomorrow?” Lynx asked “next week” Ferra replied “you’re so fidgety about this place I can smell it. You’ll get out soon enough Mrs. Bossy-Tail” Ferra growled.

Hope you enjoyed!
