Chapter one, part three
Sam looked at me gently, " be safe" he said as I closed the car door. When I walked into the dark house I nodded signaling Sam to go home. As I walked inside Pawz finally woke up " About time you came through, I was getting worried. How are you feeling?" She looked at me with a surprised expression, " How, um, how in the world did you find me?" I smiled, " doesn't matter, now lets get to bed." Pawz nodded and yawned, pawing her face like she was rubbing her eyes. I placed her onto a small pillow next to mine, and covered her with a blanket. I settled onto the bed, setting my crutches aside. I swayed my black and white ringed tail back and forth in contentment. I yawed, lied down and let my eyes flutter until I fell asleep.

I woke up to the obnoxious sound of my alarm clock. I went to throw my hand on the 'off' button but my muscles were stiff and sore, I could barely lift my head. A few seconds later Pawz woke up yawning sleepily. She went to stretch but her body- like mine- refused. "Morning you little rascals, rise and shine." My grandma said ripping the blankets off Pawz and I revealing the cool chill of morning. "You best get yourselves up-" she cut herself off, eyeing the home maid cast that secured my leg. " Young lady I hope you have a reasonable explanation for your leg and all those bruises, not to mention that cast!" Her anger seized and she took a deep breath, " it wasn't those boys again was it?" Her voice was softer this time as she patiently waited for the answer. Pawz and I nodded, looking to the floor. "Now gosh danget! Imma 'bout had enough with them hurtin you." She sighed "I'm glad you took care of yourself, now get yourself up sweetie we. I know it's still summer and all but that don't mean we aren't gonna take care of ourselves." She smiled and walked out of the room. "Last nigh was awful" Pawz yawned. I nodded, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. " We were more than lucky that Sam happened to come strolling along. I mean, if he hadn't we would have been beaten to death!" I exclaimed getting out of bed and tucking the crutches under my arms. " I wish there were more people out there like Sam. He really does care." Pawz hiccuped fallowing me to the bathroom. I smiled in agreement, pulling out a brush from a rack near the sink. I then brushed all my hair into a side ponytail facing my left, after that I gently placed a lavender hat on my head so it covered only one of my Lemur ears. The hat was oddly shaped. it was light wait and cozy like a beanie, but with a beret artsy looks to it. I looked at myself in the mirror, my face had freckles that ran across my nose and cheeks. My eyes were both different colors, one pale lavender and the other, olive green. My bright orange hair was thick and curly, going to just bellow my shoulder. I was small, about 95 pounds and 4'11" tall. I had was pretty much flat chested and had virtually no hips. But, I was only 14 so I didn't need to worry about all that now. Pawz jumped onto my black and white striped tail, this made me jump. "Come on Naomi it doesn't take a year to tie up your hair!" Pawz looked annoyed, but that only made me giggle. Just wait a minute I still need to get dressed silly girl!" We exchanged smiles. I pulled looked around in my closet for something okay to wear. I ended up picking out a grey shirt with brown muddy paw print on it, though it wasn't really muddy, it was just made like that. The. I pulled a pair of dark flair jeans on. Afterwards Pawz and I raced each other downstairs, though she won because crouches don't necessarily live the stairs. When we got there I faintly heard knocking coming from the door...
