Alright, so here is another quick chapter that I could upload fast! :3 Enjoy!
Chapter 3
“Ugh, why do we have to walk to our destination? We could wait for a bus…” Princess groaned, obviously not used to physical labor… Lefty groaned, “Just a little bit farther….” Lefty replied reassuringly… “Just over this hill…” Lefty huffed as the group climbed the dirt hill. Princess didn’t seem very happy about that… “That’s what you said the last time!” Princess whined… Lefty grumbled, but said nothing more to Princess…
A sudden cough emerged from the back of the hiking gang, “*Cough!* Cough!* Ugh, Lefty! How are you so certain that it’s just over this hill? The dust is aggravating my Asthma!” Stripes groaned in between coughs. Lefty simply grunted at Stripes, but made no signs of a reply. Space seemed to notice this, “Stripes is right…” Space frowned, “How exactly do you know that it’s just over this hill? It’s not like we have a map, and besides…” Space stopped for a moment, looking for the right words to use… “It’s not like you to know directions that well unless you have been there before… I-is there something that you are specifically not telling us?” Space questioned, waiting to see if Lefty snapped on his question or not.
Lefty jerked suddenly, as if to answer Space’s hunch… “Grrr… Look, it’s not like I have exact knowledge of where we are ok?! If I say that it’s right over this hill then it IS! Why not trust me a bit better, ok?” Lefty growled, knowing that he had got her with his choice of words… She then quickly sighed, “Look, if it’s not just over this hill we can debate it from there, but for now I’m hungry and my stomach says that dinner is JUST OVER THIS HILL!” Lefty grumbled irritably… She knew that anger wasn’t the best way to solve the issue at hand, but for right now niceness and patience could wait… The overwhelming urge for food typically caused her to be grumpy, and when she was grumpy nothing went her way… She made a mental note in her head that she would apologize once they reached the village and smoothed out all the bumps in the road…
The group stared in shock at Lefty, save Shila who had never known who Lefty truly was like in real life and was simply just looking at Lefty odd, they hardly ever saw Lefty get angry, unless she was either hungry, or something was bugging her… In this case it seemed like both were applied…
Shila looked over at Cat who was climbing next to her at the present moment, “So Cat, right? I’ve never really seen Lefty in real life before; can you tell me if she’s always like that?” Shila asked nervously… Cat shook her head before continuing up the hill, “Not really…” Cat whispered… “She’s typically the most optimistic, friendliest bud you could ever wish for. However, few cases do apply, such as when she’s in an odd spot such as this…” Cat frowned, “Then, she just well… Blows up…” Cat sighed. Shila blinked before looking at Lefty again and then back down to the group, and finally back to Cat. “Is Lefty like some kind of natural born leader or something? I mean, everyone is just following her, like it’s her thing or something…” Shila looked at Cat odd, wondering. Cat shook her head, “No. She’s not really… I don’t quite know why everyone is following her at the moment.” Cat replied, “Perhaps, it’s just because we’re all hungry and Lefty seems to know where she’s going… Otherwise, she’s more of a go with the flow kind of person… She likes to put in her ideas in every once and a while, but she typically let’s everyone do their own thing… However, if the team seems like it needs a leader, she gladly steps in…” Cat chuckled…
Shila blinked in surprise before continuing to climb, “O…. Well, I guess that kind of explains it…” She smiled, “It just feels weird hanging out with people I don’t know… It helps to understand what’s going on. But, I can’t understand why Lefty would be so snappy then…” Shila grunted as she tripped over a large rock. Cat shrugged, “Like I said, perhaps it’s just the situation… I don’t know either, but judging by the looks of it, we’re not going to catch up with the group!” Cat giggled as she and Shila both raced back to where the group was.
“Right over there! I see the village! I told you guys! My stomach never lies!” Lefty hollered, as the rest of the group scrammed up the mountain to catch up, leaving poor Princess tripping over every single rock trying to catch up to them. Luckily Cat and Shila were there to help the much younger canine get up.
Space stared in awe as a whole village was laid out right before his eyes. The lush greenery was what really took his breath away the most, since they were in the middle of a desert. It almost looked like a mirage as a giant tree loomed in the center of the village.
“I- I can’t believe that a whole village could survive in such a desolate place as this!” Space stared in awe… Lefty quickly pushed past him and began to run down the hill, carefully making sure that the dry wind didn’t blow her classic favorite purple striped shirt over her head. “Who cares? It’s food time!” Lefty hollered, kicking dirt up around herself. Stripes quickly followed suit, squealing like a little kid without a care, down the hill. “No way Lefty! I’m gonna eat everything before you do! We Utah folks have bigger stomachs, so we get more food than you do!” Stripes teasingly yelled at Lefty. As the rest of the gang ran down the hill, Space could hear Lefty hollering at Stripes for pushing past her, “No fair Stripes! Just cause Utah people have bigger stomachs doesn’t mean that they get all the food! In fact they should have less and save some for the rest of the group!” Lefty roared, now running at full speed on low stamina.
“Would you guys save it for after we eat?” Princess grunted as the group reached the bottom of the hill. She then looked around, “Um, so now what Lefty? Do you know where we’re supposed to stay for the grub?” Princess questioned, as her stomach growled in agreement.
Lefty blinked in surprise as she looked at the village now, (Oh man, it’s sooooo much bigger that I thought it would be!) Lefty’s mind whirled… “First door on the right.” The same mysterious voice echoed in her mind, causing Lefty to remember. “Uh, this door!” Lefty pointed, as she ran up and knocked on the door…
The group looked at Lefty in confusion, but said no more until a “Clunk!” was heard, followed by the sound of a door squeaking open… “Yes? How can I aid you?” A mysterious voice questioned…
