A Taitl Tale: Part Four by squieshie |  |
I took in a small breath at first. It was just like breathing
in fresh air! But how could this be? You can't breathe underwater unless I was
a swimming Neopet, such as a Kiko, Jetsam, and Peophin. I shrugged it off, and
swam all over the place. The rain water was clear, surprisingly, so that was
nice. I heard the rain pounding against the water which was flooding Neopia
Central. I froze. It was flooding Neopia Central. That meant Neopets that couldn't
hold their breath long enough, or Neopets that couldn't swim could drown. I
had to save those in need. I swam swiftly and smoothly through the water, like
I was a graceful Peophin, until I got out of the Alley, and into the streets
of Neopia Central. I hadn't noticed until then, that the water was up to some
of the house's roofs. I didn't see any Neopets around, so I swam over to a house,
and opened the door. Some of their light furniture was floating around. I spotted
a silver Shoyru hanging on to a green inflatable chair.
"What are you doing?" cried the shadow Shoyru.
"You're gonna get yourself KILLED!"
"No I'm not!" I replied, as I treaded water
nearby the panicking Shoyru. "I can breathe underwater!"
"Good riddance," the Shoyru said, pointing to
my left cheek. "You have a raindrop on your cheek! You must be... the rain Ixi!"
"Yeah, I am!" I exclaimed. "And YOU'RE gonna
get yourself killed if you don't use your stupid winds to fly yourself out of
your house before you whole house floods!" I looked up at the ceiling. It was
only about a foot away from my head. The Shoyru had to get out of there, fast.
"I WOULD try and get out of here," the Shoyru
drooped his head down. "But my owner and my sister are locked downstairs, in
the basement. They're probably drowning now! I wouldn't want to leave my house,
knowing that they're downstairs, drowning. And since you can swim, can you save
them? PLEASE? will you save them before it's too late? PLEASE?! I'm begging
you!" The Shoyru's eyes were starting to tear up.
"Okay, I'll save them," I said, dunking my head
underwater. I swam to the door that locked like it lead to the basement. I jerked
it open, and swam frantically downstairs. My legs and arms were hurting, but
I knew I had to keep going. I reached the bottom of the staircase, and I saw
the Shoyru's owner, and sister. Her sister was a yellow Shoyru. I grabbed the
yellow Shoyru. I wasn't so sure about holding on to the owner, though. But I
did it anyway, the two Shoyrus would have been so miserable if I didn't save
her. The yellow Shoyru blinked, as I pulled her and her owner all the way upstairs,
and out of the house. I threw them onto a floating chair.
"Oh, thank you, thank you!" the owner cried,
smiling at me. She had blonde hair, and brown eyes. She had a soft smile, too,
but there was no way I could trust her. She hugged her yellow Shoyru. I dunked
myself under the water, and headed towards the silver Shoyru.
"C'mon!" I shouted to her. She was gasping for
breath, the water was almost in her mouth. She was spitting, and gagging. She
looked over to me, and grinned, as she took a deep breath, and swam towards
me. I pulled her fiercely towards the front door, and up to where her owner,
and sister were sitting at. I grinned, and threw her up onto the chair her owner
was sitting on her. I looked, hopelessly at the owner, hugging her two Neopets
I frowned, and continued on my search for drowning Neopets
How could a Neopet trust an owner like that?
Most people create a Neopet, then disown it after a few days, and get another
one straight away. But there's something that confused me. That owner was hugging
her Neopet like it had been hers from the day she entered Neopia. Maybe some
owners didn't disown Neopets after all? But you could never know.
I couldn't see any helpless Neopets anywhere,
so I decided to go back up to the surface. That silver Shoyru who I had saved
back there reminded to of Xraie. The cute little naive Shoyru who I had treated
like a bug. I couldn't believe that I had done that, she was one of my best
and closest friends.
When the night came close, the flood had died
down, and it was only raining softly. I chose a spot under a soggy cardboard
box, and looked out into the deserted streets for a while.
I awoke the next morning. I had a dream. A strange
dream. I remembered the day Miressi got taken away. I saw her frowning at Xraie
and I, being held by her scruff, whimpering when being pulled out of the door
of the pound. I remembered me getting mad at Xraie. And me escaping out of the
pound.
And the note.
I remembered reading the note, and starting
to cry, and that's when my fight with Xraie started.
But the note was the most important thing I
remembered since never.
The note.
I had figured out that the note was so important,
after all.
I had a flashback.
I saw mulan_345 dropping a piece of paper, just
a few inches from outside of my cage. I picked it up, and read it. I started
to cry, and that's when Xraie and I fought. We fought. And I never had a chance
to forgive Xraie. And she never had a chance to forgive me.
And that's what friends do. They forgive each
other.
And I never gave Miressi the chance to forgive
me.
And so, that was what I was going to do.
To be continued...
