Day 2

Day 2

*Yawn*

'That was the best sleep I've gotten in awhile,' I thought while stretching, 'And that dream about me being a baby gob-' at this point my thoughts stopped because when I opened my eyes what I saw stretching was a small, green hand with elongated, sharp nails balled into a fist.

'Ho..ly shit..it was real.'

*Inhale*

*Exhale*

After taking a deep breath I went over the information I know, while testing if and how much I could move 'Okay, Alright, Okay, SO, I am now a baby goblin, named Goburai, and I still don't have full range of motion, probably cause I'm only 2 days old, well probably closer to 1 but whatever.' From what I can tell I can finally move my arms however I want, but they can't exert much strength. I can also turn my head and see what'saround me.

'Hmmm, it seems like I'm in some type of nursey cave based on the jagged stone walls around me, there's also the fact that the only other life in here is-what seems to be-12 other goblin infants, and-what I believe are-green caterpillars crawling along the walls.' I thought while craning my neck to look at as much as I can.

*Stomach Growl*

'Ooh, when's feeding time because I'm hungry. Oop and apparently I'm not the only one.' I thought as some of the other babies around me began to cry. And not a moment later I could hear the sound of feet clamoring against the stone floors. 'They're already on there way?! Wow, crying is apparently very effective, I need to remember that for the next time I want something.'

" You two take six each and I'll handle the one in the middle." said an aged female voice

"But elder we can easily handle-" started a younger female, but she was interrupted by the older one before she could finish," Don't worry about it, I have a certain interest in that one."

'I wonder who caugh- dammit it's me. What did I do to catch her attention?' I thought and it seems I wasn't the only one with that question.

"Why Elder Chie, what's so special about him?" asked a different female than earlier

"He's more active than the average baby I've seen, I mean look even now he seems to be listening to our conversation while the others are just crying." answered the older female, now identified as Elder Chie

' Fuck, she noticed. Should I try acting like the others and cry. Nope that's not realistic, it's pretty much the same as confirming that I can understand them. It's to late anyway here she comes.' I thought as the aforementioned Elder Chie walked into my field of vision.

"Hey cutie, how are doing? Are you hungry?" questioned Elder Chie with a smile as she poked my pudgy, baby belly, after picking me up from my bed made of fur pelts.

Not appreciating how she poked my Buddha belly, I decided to respond by grabbing her finger, with both of my tiny hands, and biting down on it as hard as I could. Sadly it didn't have the impact I wanted because I don't have any teeth, so I just ended up slobbering all over her finger.

"*Chuckle* Alright, alright I understand, let's get you some food." she said as she wiped off her finger on her fur dress and walked towards one of the nursery cave's walls.

' Why is she taking me to the wall?' I questioned in my head, but a second later my question was answered when Elder Chie reached out and took one of the green caterpillars, crawling on the wall, between her fingers. While bringing said caterpillar towards my face she tried to coax me into opening my mouth "Open up Goburai, here comes breakfast."

Seeing me not open my mouth she started to try and force it in, by pushingit against lips. 'Ugh, it's so hairy and it's squirming all over the place. I'd throw up if I had anything in my stomach.' I thought with a gag.

"Chance!!" exclaimed Elder Chie as she shoved the caterpillar in my mouth and then covered my mouth with her hand so that I couldn't spit it out.

' NOOOOO!!! Oh My God it's squirming in My Mouth! GetitoutGetitoutGetitoutGetitoutGetitoutGetitoutGetitout!' I thought while swinging my arms and trying to spit it out. But in my struggle I accidentally chomped down on the caterpillar in between my gums. As soon as my top set of gums met the bottom set, a liquid burst into my mouth and I TASTED IT.

'OH- oh it's actually not that bad.' I thought while chomping down on it again 'Oh yeah, this is, this is good. I want some more of that.'

Still being hungry, and wanting some more of that, surprisingly, delicious caterpillar, I reached out to the wall trying to catch one myself.

"Aah, you want some more do you? Crazy how not even a moment ago you were refusing to even open your mouth." said Elder Chie as she plucked another caterpillar off the wall and brought it to my mouth. With no hesitation I ate it straight away.

'*Content Sigh* This is honestly great, but I wonder how much longer I'll have live like this, not being able to do anything, knowing anything about where I am or why this happened to me, or not knowing almost anything about myself.' reaching this point in my thoughts I sighed again and lost any appetite I had.

*Sigh*

"What's wrong little one, is everything alright?" asked Elder Chie said in a worried tone, as if I could respond, but not wanting to worry her I decided to let out a yawn."Oh, so you're tired. Well let's get you back to bed for now and then you can go back to sleep." she stated as she took me back towards my pile of pelts.

'All I've done today is look around, throw a slight tantrum, and eat; yet I'm actually tired now that she's set me back down in these warm pelts. Must be *Yawn* must be becau-*Yawn* because I'm still a baby *Yawn*.' I thought before falling back into dream land.

------‐--------------------------------

'Ughh, what happened? Why does my body hurt?' I thought while still groggy from waking up.

"W.at .....im … .akes up ..... t.ll h.m ... truth?" asked a male voice

'Who is that, they sound familiar. What are they saying, I can barely hear anything with this ringing in my ear.' I thought trying to focus on the conversation, that seemed to be going on around me.

"NO! Abs.... not! .... ..ly 8 .... old! If .. .... ... what. happ.... .. .i. parents .. .....n't .. able to ...dle it." responded an angry female voice.

'Wait, did she just say parents? Does she mean mine? What happened to Mom and Dad?' I thought with a bit of panic, and then I tried to hear the conversation more clearly.

"But he ..s th. right .o know. He's gonna .s. about them ..en he w.kes u. any..y." retorted a different male voice than earlier, this one seemed to be older.

'I'm almost posiitive they're talking about me and my parents now. I have to find out what's going on. I have to get up.' I thought as my eyes began to flutter open.

"We can't he won't be abl-" started the female voice from earlier, but she was interrupted by another, older, female voice saying "Hush! He's waking up! Jųłīû§p, Jűłįü§ can you hear me?"

*Groan*

That's all she got in response because there was a sudden spike in pain as I tried to sit up.

"Quick help him up, help him up!" commanded the older female

Almost immediately the males went to either side of me and gently helped me to sit up. After a bit, the pain went away and I was able to put a face to a voice. It wasn't surprising who they were especially because I was in a hospital bed.

"Uncle Bīłľ, Aunt Vįv, Gramps, Granny; What happened?" I asked while looking into their eyes.

"What do you mean-" Aunt Vįv started but Gramps interrupted her with an angry shout "Vīvíæň! Be Quiet!"

"But-" "Nope." "We Can-" " Quiet!" "Hmmph"

"Now ******, I want you to stay calm after what you're about to hear. You think you can do that for me?" Gramps asked in a calm after his exchange with Aunt ***.

After taking a deep breath I responded with " *Inhale, Exhale* I'll try."

"Good enough, Gramps said with a nod," Now as for what happened, unfortunately you and your parents were in a car accident. You all were hit by a drunk driver who drifted into to the wrong side of the road and hit you all in a head on collision going 85 MPH." At this point Gramps paused to let absorb what he'd just said.

" W-Wha-What happened t-to Mom and Dad?" I asked on brink of tears.

Hearing my question every ones eyes contained pity and heart break as they looked at me in silence. Finally Gramps spoke up after the unintentional/intentional moment of silence. "They, *Throat Clear* They didn't make it."

As soon as I heard the words come from his mouth I couldn't contain it any longer and I burst into tears. Seeing me cry my heart out, Aunt Vīv and Granny joined in as they pulled me into their embrace.

Everything after that blurred together, but it was decided I'm gonna live with Gramps and Granny because Aunt and Uncle had 2 kids of their own to take of.

3 days later I was released from the hospital and taken to Gramps and Granny's house; where after being settled down into my new room, I didn't leave for 2 weeks. I just sat in that room watching tv. I only ate because Granny brought the food into the room for me; and the only reason I left the room 2 weeks later was because it was time for my parents funeral.

The funeral was a blur to , but I remember Iş@ and ßhæňę, my friends, being there. I didn't talk to them at all, I was too busy spacing out while looking at my parents coffins. I didn't say a single word, didn't make a sound, nothing; at least not until after they buried my parents in their graves right next to each other. Seeing that the only thing left of my parents being 2 rocks, that had their names on it I just couldn't handle it. I broke down, I let out 2 weeks of pent up frustration and sadness while kneeling in front of my parents graves. It was probably just a coincidence, but it was as if the world sensed my anger and sadness, and sympathized because a thunder storm started; and it seemed like it was crying along with me. After a long period of time it seems I lost consciousness because everything went black.....
