The pain is still there and I can almost feel it sapping away my strength. So I'll keep my eyes open for those blue veined plants. While doing so I spots a few others that look similar.

One has rich green veins and another has a stem with something like a dandelion on top but only it's an eerie yellow green color. The first one did nothing for me and as for the second one.

When I got close, my body froze and backed away from it on its own. I'll take that as built in instinct, which I am happy to have in this new world.

Wonder why I only felt this after I ate that meat and not before? Oh well I should get some water. I feel quite thirsty and I hope it will help with the stomach ache.

Moving along the way I see a few fox's off to the side here and there, all of them are past the tree's. But I pay no mind to them for the most part. Unless I feel that their too close to me. Well if they do get in my way I'll just shank them to death with my almighty horn of death! Unless I'm out numbered then I’ll try to run, but I don't think I'll need to worry about that.

Looking around, I realized water flows downwards and downwards is towards the bulk of trees. Which is a good sign for water.

'Damn low ‘int’ must have stopped me from thinking about that Earlier!' That's what I tolled myself anyway.

I start tiptoeing into the mass of tree's on full alert. Luckily nothing really seems around. In fact it felt a little too quiet. After making my way though I see why.

Corpses of Grey animals are lying around. Fox's, a few rabbits and a couple of snakes. Snakes..... I never liked them before when I was human, but now I'm just a small rabbit... Wait now's not the time to think like that I gotta avoid what ever killed them.  

But the only thing I notice around are footprints, human foot prints... Not good I'm a weak rabbit and on top of it I look different from the others I've around seen here. That's like saying “Rare monster come hunt me down!…” Damn, now I hate that NPC even more for making me like this. If I could communicate it would be different but even other rabbits don't understand my screeches.

'Gotta be real careful now!' As I slowly and quietly as possible I keep on moving. After a while the sound of running water could be heard. By now it was getting tough to move. While looking around I found a patch of weeds or I guess I should call them herbs now, underneath a tree. I eat away and after getting through 3 of them, I feel perfectly fine even the pain seems gone now, that I think about it. But I'm parched so I head to the steam and check my surroundings.

'All good! lets do this.' I quickly run to the water and start chugging back as much as my stomach could handle. Then I made my way to a bush and dive into it, as I could hear the sounds of footsteps coming through the forest.

Three humans appear and walk to the steam. Seems they're also here for some water as they pull out leather sack's to fill. As I watched them I could hear them talk.

“********** **** **** *****”.....‘Eh I can't understand them? I know a couple of languages yet it sounds so jumbled! Whatever I’ll just make sure they don't notice me and that will be that.'

They left not long after, much to my relief. 'Okay guess I'll head on back to the rabbit den from before'. So I went on my way back towards the rabbit field. On the way I found a fox resting by a tree. So I chose to sneak up on it and kill it.

After getting right beside it I lunged my horn into the back of its neck. In the end it survived and sprang up with me still in or now on it. It ran around for a bit and I was stuck on it because my back two legs barely touched its back is I was being swung around.

But maybe because of that it died after a minute, a long ass minute. And once again I felt a bit more powerful after that. 'Damn my neck and head hurt... Now I feel for ya Foxie but this is a world of strength and you to are weak'. Now that's over with, I head on back towards the rabbit field.

Upon arrival I saw something horrifying. Two humans with only simple cloths and a daggers were killing my brethren. They seemed to have placed piles of burning bushes into some of the tunnels to smoke them out. And when they were out in the open they were easy prey.

Some of the rabbits tried to charge them only to be dodged or to have their horn grabbed. With one hand holding onto their horn and the other hand stabbing into them over and over, I felt a bit of shock and sickness. Not because they were my brothers and sisters, but because of how bloody it was coupled with the smiling faces of the adventurers.

How simple it is to kill is one thing, but how calm they looked while doing it was different. 'I've fought a lot but never for pleasure like I'm seeing here, and it's all this gore is an eye opener for how cruel this world is for the weak'. Never once did I do anything more then break a few limbs, and that was because of how many times that guy attacked me.

Watching this scene made me create a larger desire to survive then I have ever felt before. After all I'm just way too weak...

'For now avoid populated areas and get stronger. I never want to feel this weak ever again'. I reinforce inside my mind. Then quickly make my way away from here.

Away from that windmill and from humans! Humans kill for more than just food here. 'Well I'm the same in that sense, now that I gotta get stronger quickly'.

After heading what appeared to be south based on the sun's movement. The environment changed to larger hills and as I was moved further south the ground was sloping down a bit. 'I might be higher above the sea line then I though. As the hills that looked the same size were growing in realty. Trees clusters seemed to become small and large forests. Avoiding those while traveling along the hill side was tiring.

After traveling a for a few days and sleeping in small holes "dug by me" at night, I was now in more of a mountainous forest area.

‘I've got a lot faster compared to the start almost twice as fast. My mind is keeping up with my thoughts too. Other than that though, I don't feel and stronger’. Now slightly faster than the fox's I've faced, and smaller than them as well. I can now avoid most things in this forest. 'Using strategic attacks on unsuspecting enemies I should have no problem facing or running from small fry'.

‘But those damnable birds keep on flying away before I can impale them!’

There are fewer and fewer foxes in these parts and for small animals that can be killed by me are few.

‘I might be able to kill snakes but what if they have poison, they attack too fast it's too dangerous for me. I killed one by fencing against it's quick bites but that was to close of a battle. One mistake and I could have died.’

‘I've seen a few raccoon's but they travel in packs... Dammit I'm so limited! If I had thumbs I could make some weapons or traps but I only have these paws...Should I just head back?’ These thoughts now haunting me.  

While playing though my thoughts on what to do, a shadow was getting closer and closer. And just as I decided to head back. Bam!

I felt a heavy blow on the back of my head. Followed by dizziness and then blackness.

As the sense of feeling was coming back. It felt like he was dragging me along the ground. But I still can't move or even open my eyes yet.

After being dragged around for a few minutes, I feel that I'm not out in the open anymore. The sound of being pulled along and short footsteps are echoing, so I must be in some sort of cave.

Oh I can open my eyes... Yep a dark cave and I can see the short bottom half of my attacker too. Small Green legs with large feet. Looks like he has a rag covering his or her important area.  

‘Seems all I can do is wait to die again. I can't fight back even if I could move… This is how all those other rabbits died. Dammit...’

Now we are entering a we lit opening in here.

‘Oh its a fireplace with a big pot cooking something. Smells good. I think even I could eat that.’ But I can see what's going on here. There is a second green one sitting by it. That's a big smile on its ugly little face...

‘Shit I'm being pulled up to it. Don't go showing me off...’ I'm being pulled up and showed off to the one sitting by the food.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Am I really going to die here? NO I refuse to let that happen! At this point I can move but what can I do?... I can flail!

Flailing around, while being held up seems to cause them to start laughing, and all I can do is try harder. After what feels like a minute of struggling they got tired of it, and one of them walks along to go grab a knife.

Not just any knife its the most rusted one I've ever seen. ‘Does the edge on that even cut?! Shit shit shit!’

A quick thrust and it pierced into my side then pulled out shortly after. One of them says something to the other. They then drop me down to the ground.

The pain from the stab as well as seeing all the blood caused me to start panicking. And no I'm not flailing around by choice now but automatically. They move in between me and the exit and start laughing looking at me like I'm just a joke.

‘If I come back to life I'll give you the worst death I can give to you I swear!’ The anger makes no difference to my position though.

However as I was staring at my killers I saw two large shapes appear behind them. Quickly followed by a series of smacks with a wooden club, and a short sword cutting off one of their heads. ‘Well at least I got to see the green pieces of shit die.’

Too bad I can't make out who killed them. I can barely see, and I'm cold at this point. But what happens next caught me by surprise.

One of them comes close, but does not finish me off. Instead they pull out something in a bottle and pours it on my wound. Then they poured the rest of it down my throat, rather forcefully, but it brings a heat back into my body. The heat was like streams going through every fiber in my body. With a quick jolt I had my strength back.

Looking up again I see a teenage girl medium length hair with a soft gentle look to her. However my instinct kicked in and I quickly got back on my feet and made some distance.

Taking a good look I saw she was wearing the same cheap pants that the other one’s had on before, but had a brown and white cloth top and a pair of cheap looking boots instead of those shoes. She also had that wooden club at her side.

Then the other one was a male about the same age with a bowl cut hairstyle. He looks like someone you could pick on( Not that I would waste my time on those guys), and gave the impression of being annoyed and concerned. Short sword pointed at me he seems to have a full leather set of gear. Perhaps he's helping her level up or something. He seems a bit stronger but that's just from my gut feeling.

Based off how this looks, I think the girl used an item on me without thinking, and he does not look happy about it. He seems to be telling her something, and she talking back looking angry.

Well I've survived those green guys, and I've meet at least one human I don't think I should fear. Looking at her she gives off soft and gentle sort of vibe. I would gladly beat the snot out of anyone who bothered her. With that type of violence people would not think so badly about it. That's how I always thought of it anyway.

Anyway they seem done talking and are looking at me. ‘Gonna attack me? Gonna let me go? Take your pick.’

After a short silence they seem to be leaving the girl seems kind of sad. I don't like that face she's making, too sad for a innocent little girl. Anyways they are on they're way out now. So should I do?

Follow them till I'm out of here... sounds dangerous with the looks that boy was giving me. I understand safety first, I'd to the same. Beasts be crazy in this world.

Hmm wait what if I can make friends with the girl though. I do feel like I could help protect her and I can't do a lot by myself. I'll try following them anyways. Also there could be more of those green guys around. I don't want to die again.  

So I start chasing after them. I catch up quickly while keeping my distance. Turns out there are a few tunnels connecting in here. Seeing this makes me glad I started following them, because there already been a few encounters with the green guys.

But after a bit of walking I think we are heading deeper into the mountain. As we should have gotten out base on how much we've walked. After walking a bit longer they hit a dead end, and before I can hide I'm spotted by them.

Surprised to see me, the boy jumps in front of the girl. Well at least he's doing his job right. However he seems even more startled by the fact that I'm just staring at him not doing anything. The girl however has a face that is happy but confused. After a while of talking they slowly walk around me...

I'm a horned rabbit I don't know what's so scary about me. Anyways I follow them further but this time in plain view. Until I get out of here I can't leave their protection.

We end up getting into a large room, far more open than anything else in this cave. Looking forward I see about ten or so greenies as well as a brown one that has some leather armor and a stone helm on his head... 'its way too big for his head'. All of them have some sort of weapon with them.

It does not take to long for the two sides to start fighting. I'm learning how hard it is even for armed humans to take on this many midgets. A good show but they seem to be getting overwhelmed by numbers. After a minute or so another green one appears. They are killing them faster than that though but they seem to be getting tired.  

While the boy is dealing with four of the remaining seven with the brown guy included, and the girl is having a bit more trouble with the rest. While I may be weak compared to them but that girl is like the ideal human to befriend. I cant help but want to join in...

I'd die though. But I ended up losing to reason when they landed a couple of blows on her back sending her to the ground, her face had a hint of pain made my anger skyrocket and I charged into the side of the one was about to hit her.

This caught them off by surprise and gave her time to get up and finish him. With that there were two left to kill and with a smile on that girls face I felt like dying would not be so bad here. But in the end I charged valiantly beside her. That club killed them easily, far more so then I would have guessed. Her damage is many times what I could do. What happened after that was simple we charged to help the boy, much to his surprise and quickly finished them off.  

Now that that's over they grab the drops by walking up to them touching them and dealing with the screens that popped up... how lazy. But then I got a surprise hug from the girl and the boy went and pet my head. I wanna bite him for that but I'll let it go. After all I feel a lot stronger from all that fighting so I'm in a forgiving mood. They said something to me but I have no idea, probably thanking me. Now we start heading out of the cave.

When the light from the sunset hit my face I felt like all the tension release that my body seemed to have gotten without me noticing. With me lying in the grass seeing the two talk then with each other. Made me realize that I did miss being around people. Never would I have joked about wanting to be by people before but now... At this point they give a sad expression and a wave goodbye then they start walking off.

I pause for a few moments then quickly make my choice run after them. After catching up to them I don't stop but instead rammed into the leg of the girl, not with my horn though. Even I was surprised by that action. As she wobbled to get her balance she looked stupefied.

I start jumping up and down in front of her and then there was a short silence. Not sure what to do at this point I screeched as best as I could hoping to convey these words! ‘Let me come with you and ill protect you!’ My own thoughts felt messed up but whatever. But then a screen popped up if front of her.

Her face showed shock and happiness. while the guy then checked what was on it, and looked at me in bewilderment. After exchanging glances  the girl quickly touched the screen.

You have become Amelia's pet

‘Wait....What?!?!’
