2: waking up and freaking out

Everything aches...

I just want to go back to sleep...

Then, the situation i had previously survived came crashing down on me.

My e/c eyes shot open and despite the painful protest from my body, i sat up at mach speed.

I felt pain pulse through my body, but that wasnt what my gaze was upon.

In front of me were four males my age, but... something was really off.

The nearest was a boy wearing clout goggle sunglasses and a light blue shirt with a red rectangle on it. His hair was fluffy brown and he had light brown eyes. He didnt have human legs however. Where his torso ended the dark brown body of a horse began.

Then there was another, with very dark brown hair and a white headband tied around his head. He had a black long sleeved shirt on under a white tshirt with a pixelated flame on it. His eyes look dark brown and he mostly looks normal... minus the dark brown wolf ears on his head, and the paws instead of hands... and the tail.

One near me had brown hair that lay down nicely, with bright brown eyes that had a hint of other colors speckled in. He wore a black and red hoodie that had little horns on the hood and a checkered bandana around his neck... where his legs should have been was the body of a spider, by the looks of it a tarantula or wolf spider...

And the last one, with dirty blonde hair and green eyes wearing a green hoodie. He was decked with a smiley face mask that was rather cute but instead of legs there was a long tan colored rattlesnake tail, which rattled slightly as he moved.

I stood quickly, making my head spin and i grabbed the dirt wall, trying to regain my sense of direction.

There was a door across the dirt room, if i got to it i could run and never look back. Sunlight taunted me.

"Oh! Shes awake!" The wolf boy says, and without much more thought i start towards the door full tilt.

Theyre all startled and i slam my shoulder into the door recklessly, forcing it open and sunlight almost blinds me.

I sprint across the grass, long pieces whipping around the hem of my shorts and white t shirt as i run faster upon hearing the shouts behind me.

"Come back!" One shouts

But its almost deafened by the racing of my heart and the pattering of my bare feet on grass. I see a cliff come up before me, and i skid to a halt realizing i have blocked myself in.

My four pursuers gain on me, all moving alike newborns who havent learned to walk.

My hands clawed at the wall of rock behind me, and my slender fingers found a small crack behind me, small enough for me to fit in with my small stature.

They all wobble to a stop in front of me, and i gulp down air in panic and exhaustion while they draw closer.

"Hey." The spider boy pants, and i can almost hear the adrenaline in my veins.

They get too close and i squeeze into the small hole in the wall, scooting as far back as possible. Im almost 8 feet away from the entrance when my back touches the wall.

A figure pulls itself to the entrance, the snake boy from earlier. He fits his upper body in, but his snake tail is too wide to fit.

My breathing spikes, and he notices.

"Hey hey hey we wont hurt you!" He says, and if i hadn't seen his bottom half earlier i might have thought he was normal.

"I promisssse you itsss gonna be ok!" He says, and my shuddering slows, eyes wide at the fact that a forked tongue came out of his mouth.

"My name is clay, but alot of people call me dream." He stated, resting his head on his arms.

"... my name is y/n..." i stutter slightly, and he gives a toothy smile.

"Nice name!"

"Thanks..."

After a bit, he goes to move out but stops, before giving me a goofy smile.

"Im stuck."

I almost choke on my spit from the way he says it, like a child who got caught misbehaving.

"Youre too thicc" i laugh airily.

We sit and giggle for what feels like ages before one of dream's friends must have pulled him out by the tail.

"Hey i was just gettin to know mlady y/n"

"We need to build a shelter dummy the sun is gonna set soon." A voice piped from outside.

"George stay here and make sure shes safe." Another said

"Well be back soon y/n dont worry." Dream stated, and footsteps trail away from the hole im in.

After a few minutes i scoot closer to the entrance of my temorary shelter to see the horse boy 'george' facing away from me, fiddling with a wooden pickaxe.

"Hey... y/n right?" I hear and look at him cautiously.

"Yeah.."

He stands, wobbling like a newborn deer and steadily makes his way towards my hiding spot.

"Do you think you could check the little hole you're in for any ores?" He asks, kneeling his front legs to hold out the pickaxe towards me.

I give him a suspicious look before sticking my hand out and wrapping it around the handle of the pick, and pulling it into the hole with me.

"Thanks." He gives a dorky grin and i nod in return.

I venture into the hole, breaking off pieces of coal that leave dusty black patterns on my palms.

I roll them towards the hole, and george spots them.

"Thanks!" i hear him call as he picks up the bits of coal.

I found plenty of coal, and two hunks of a shiny metal, presumably iron.

They dont roll very well so i just scoot to the opening. George didnt notice me this time.

"George!" I said and he jumped slightly before looking back.

"Oh you do talk!" he teased before seeing the metal in my hands.

"You found iron! Great we can make a sword! Well.. a better sword." He laughs while glancing at the wood swords they had piled up.

As he takes the pieces of metal his hands brush mine. His are calloused slightly and it shows that he does heavy lifting.

After a bit more mining the pickaxe began to fall apart, splintering my palms.

I hiss in pain a bit. And i bring the broken tool to the entrance of my little cranny, placing it down and looking at the sky a bit.

The sun was going to set soon, and i could see the other three in the distance coming back with armfulls of wood and other materials.

I scooch back into the shadows and i can feel the strain from earliers events beginning to weigh on me.

With a tired sigh and final glance at the slowly lowering sun, i pass out.
