Whatever happened between us...

Cassadrei's POV :

I think animals have this primeval instinct which enables them to sense if something is wrong around them. Atleast the Petrywinklers do, as is proven from time to time. So, is it just the Petrywinkler's powers? I wondered as Cookie scrambled around me, eyeing me suspiciously and demanding answers.

"There's nothing wrong, Cookie! How many times do I have to tell you?" I said resigned.

"I can sense. Yes, can sense. Wrongness in air... deception and cheating. And hurt. Oh! Lots of hurt. Who's hurt?" Cookie chirped incessantly, in his drawling voice.

The Petrywinkler had grown drastically in these past few months. These creatures were notorious for their growth, one moment they were infants, and boom! before you know, they have attained puberty. I have been so confused and distracted by everything, I had hardly registered the fact that Cookie had turned an adolescent now.
