"I'm cold," Worthing cried pitifully.
"Yeah, we all are. We're all cold, hungry, lost," Wolf
began bitterly till I cut her off.
"Wolf, please stop!" I shot at her.
I bent down to Worthing and hugged her. She rarely complained
about anything. For this, I couldn't blame her.
"It's okay. We aren't that lost. We'll be okay," I said
trying to comfort her. But the truth was I didn't even buy what I was
saying. Tiger gave me a look of disappointment. I looked at the ground
shamefully then stood up. She knew I shouldn't be giving false hope like
that. I sighed and looked back at Tiger.
I was completely lost with my three NeoPets; Tiger a
Wocky, Worthing a Shoyru and Wolf a Gelert. We had come up to Terror Mountain
as a vacation to celebrate the end of the school year. It was great until
Wolf caught sight of what she thought was a Faerie and went chasing after
it. Worthing flew after her being her curious self, Tiger followed feeling
she was responsible for the two, and of course I had to make sure they
wouldn't get into any trouble. It was pretty fun until we lost track of
the Faerie And, I admit, we had gotten a little cranky after Tiger declared
us lost. So far we have been wandering for approximately two days. I had
my backpack with me, but I wasn't expecting us to get lost so I packed
light. I had food that could probably last us for about one more day if
we ate only what we had to have, a flashlight and a useless map. Useless,
because we couldn't see a thing in the fog around us. The flashlight helped
guide us through the fog a little until its batteries went dead.
"Well, come on. We all saw that light blink ahead. It
could be a town..." I said thinking of how it was such a long shot.
"Oooh, snow!" Tiger yelped dazed.
Even though she is suppose to be the most mature of the
three, she still can't escape the part of her that just wants to have
fun. Snow was one of her favourite things.
I smiled. She climbed into a tree and jumped from it
trying to pounce on a falling snowflake.
"Uuuuhg," I moaned after she fell on my head. I shook
my head as I gently picked her up from my head and set her down.
"Oh! I'm so sorr--" Tiger began, but stopped when she
saw a snowball flying in her direction.
"Hehehe," I giggled as I looked at the snow all over
her. I threw another snowball towards her, but she ducked and I ended
up hitting Wolf right in the face.
"Er..." I stuttered.
"Haha!" Worthing laughed.
With the snow still on her, Wolf blindingly threw a snowball.
Smirking, I pushed Worthing in it's direction.
"Hey!" Worthing shouted.
After that, it was like an all-out snowball war. It was
great, well, at least until...
"...Wha, uh...z that?" Wolf stuttered.
To be continued...
