Walking is one hundred times harder than you think it is, I mean babies can take 9 to 17 months just to walk and it not any easier when your my size. I was floating for a really long time in the water and before that I normally had the luxury of a automatic chair for when I needed to move around and my groceries could just be ordered and brought to me from the nearest store.  Now don't get me wrong I still remember how to walk its just my body wasn't really capable of making the movements or exerting the energy needed to keep myself up. To be honest I wouldn't have been able to reach the glass let alone break it if it wasn't for that sweet tasting water that was surrounding me...

If i'm going to be leaving this place i'm going to need to know my capabilities and whats different about me. So I leaned over onto my hands  and lifted myself up as much as I could until I  had one leg holding myself up and the other still on the knee. I leaned forward once more and lifted my other leg  and tried to stand up, the results where me falling on my but and having no idea what happened. I probably would have stayed down there being confused if it wasn't for the cold, wet sensation I was feeling near my rear. I looked behind me and noticed something I would have never believed if I didn't already come to terms with the fact I have a mouth on my stomach. Laying in the pool of murky water was a 3 feet long scaled tail with a large spiked ball on the end! 

For a moment all I could do was stare at my newest body part as it lay there soaking in the water, I couldn't sit there forever though so I got on my hands and slowly dragged it out of the water and into the broken dome.  I then tried to lift it up only to discover it weighed ton! Now I know what caused me to fall I pretty much have a brick connected to my backside at all times, so walking is officially not an option if I can't even stand up. So I temporarily put leaving on standby and instead decided to identify all the new appendages I now  had starting with my head. I first looked at my hands which have became scaled claws with the sharp pointed nails.  I then ran my hand over my head and found out I had two pairs horns on top of my head and on my forehead and a line of spikes leading to my back. I moved to my hands lower and found I had two sets of wings on my back separated by the line of spikes. With further experimentation I discovered I can fold and unfold them at will, when I got to moving my tail I received another message from that woman.

Ability createdMultitaskingThe ability to do multiple things at once

By now I've stopped caring what she says since if I bother to try and understand what these rectangles mean i'll only get confused and i'm confused enough as it is, so back to what I was doing before I was so rudely interrupted. When I  began to move my tail I managed to lift it up to my stomach before I dropped the wrecking ball creating a large crater in the dome. I've discovered  that I am completely covered in scales and I have a tail, 2 pairs of horns,2 pairs of  bat like wings on my back,and a line of spikes starting from my forehead and ending at the ball on my tail, I must look like some kind of monster with my size and features. Well I've wasted enough time on myself, its time that I got moving and find out where I am. So I got on all fours and slowly made my way out of the dome and being careful not to step on any shards in the water, after crawling for a while I notice a slope with a open rusted door at the bottom  in front of me where all the water is eventually pouring out of. I begin towards it  when I slip on something inside the water and begin to roll down at an incredibly fast pace, soon I'm rushing out of the door and I finally slow to a stop, flopping onto my back and about to barf(Roller coasters never agreed with me...). When I've managed to avoid throwing up the patronizing woman came back with her confusing messages...

After wiping  myself of I got back on all fours and examined where my surroundings, i'm in a dim cave with all kinds of bugs I've never need before. Some of them where almost as big as me while others as large as a child, my new goal is to avoid each and every one of them...

 While exploring the area I found a something that did not go with the cave settings here,in the very back there was a large patch of vegetation surrounded by bushes with colorful berries on them  and some small trees with apples and oranges growing off them and in the center there was a dome just like the one I was in but this time there was vibrant green liquid filling it and a sleeping child curled up inside it. It  was a girl about 5 or 8 years old, she was wearing a torn up set of leather clothing and covered in strange symbols similar to but different from the ones on my body. She had white hair and a green jewel on her forehead and various glowing vines going into her body connecting her to the bottom of the dome, it was as though they where pumping something into the poor kid. Honestly I could barely look at her without cringing so I looked for some way to release her without hurting her from the outside. After a bit of searching I discovered the dome was exactly the same as the one I was in so their was no way out from the outside...

Sadly this means I'll have to use a little more force to free her, I made my way to the front of the dome and lifted my tail  up behind me as far as I could then quickly turned slamming it into the glass shattering it into pieces. The vines shriveled up and tore allowing the girl to fall to the bottom of the dome, I checked her for injuries but found none that I could identify or treat. I waited a while but the girl still hasn't awoken, she just lay there sleeping as if nothing changed and she was still inside the dome. But I don't have the luxury to stay here and wait for her to wake up, some of the child sized insects noticed me breaking the dome and are watching us at this very moment. I don't trust them to stay back or believe I can protect her or myself if they all came at me...

Seriously though I joined a club devoted to stopping violence in school and helping people and animals nearby for pete's sake, whenever someone came to me and was being less than friendly I would either shrivel up and cower or runaway ( one of the few times I was ever fast). Do you honestly believe I have the skill let alone the courage to stand up to these things. So with our personal safety in mind I gently picked her up placed her on my back and quickly began to flee from their as far as my claws could take me. After I've managed to lose the bugs I noticed I was in another area again, there was light coming from a opening in the wall ahead of me and I was smelling something sweet from inside it but I was also hearing a buzzing noise so I decided to play it safe and hide  us behind the largest pile of rocks I could find. When I peeked over the rocks I instantly wished I hadn't, coming from the opening was the largest hornet I had ever seen. It was just as long as my tail and almost as wide with a razor sharp stinger right behind it, for a moment there I forgot to breath and simply sat there on my knees trembling fearing it would fly higher and notice us. But it seems I lucked out as more buzzing and some strange roars came from the opening and the giant wasp turned and slowly began to return to where ever it came from, but before it made it completely outside the worst possible thing happened...

Stolen story; please report.

The girl began to wake up, she started to make noise and move around on my back yawning and blinking as if her life wasn't in danger this very second. While I was debating over what to do the hornet began to look around for what was creating the noise. By then it was clear to me that she had to be silenced or we would both be goners, so I reached my right arm over my back grabbed her and covered her mouth with my left one put her beneath me and curled up shielding her from view and making myself look like a large red rock. The hornet flew around looking at everything around it and for a moment there I thought we were dead but then another roar came from the outside and it was three times and loud as the others. The hornet quickly flew towards the opening leaving me and the trembling girl alone, when I was absolutely sure it was gone I leaned back and let the girl go. She tried to run from me but fell when she was standing without my support, seems she has a similar walking problem to the one I have. I began to move towards her to help her up but she gave a little shriek when I approached her and waves her hands at me.

Girl: Stay back! I'm warning you I can hurt you r-really bad if I wanted to! I've hurt tons of m-monsters before!

The girl tried to be threatening but the fact she was crying,stuttering, and still trembling backfired on her making her seem incredibly harmless. Nonetheless she kept waving her hands at me as if I was some kind of small animal that would run in fear of such a display. I disliked making such a small child scared so I backed up a bit and tried to calm her down.

Gregory: Please calm down I'm a friend I promise I won't hurt you. I know I look like this but i'm really not a bad guy.

I even smiled at her and sat on my knees to show how friendly I was and that I wasn't going to get any closer unless she wanted me to, she seemed pretty shocked I could speak and honestly it only made her look cuter. After a bit she recovered and changed her posture to match mine, she was still looking at me like I would eat her up any second but we were at least more comfortable and able to speak easier.

Girl: You can speak?!

Gregory: Of course. I may not look like it but I can speak perfect english I can even go as far to call myself sociable.

Girl: Oh.

Once again we were back to sitting there staring at each other as the awkward silence commenced for the second time, I was about to speak when I head a quite growl which instantly got me worried. I put my front to hands on the rocks and looked over them to survey the area, I noticed nothing new when I felt a hand on my tail. I looked back to see the girl looking at me with a slightly flushed face as she asked me a question.

Girl: Can I ask you something mister monster?

At first I was wondering why she put monster at the end but then I remembered my new size and appearance, I then got back on my knees and waited for her to finish.

Gregory: go ahead ask me anything.

I smiled again to make my point, sadly it seems my smiles only scare her( I forgot about the fact my mouth is on my stomach and that its gigantic and full of teeth) so i'm making a mental note not to smile anymore....

I quickly shut my mouth and try to act as if the dreaded smile had never came.

Girl: o-Ok...

Girl: Do you happen to know where any food is...

For a second I was confused but then I put the clues together and realized it was her who made the growl, she's starving just like I was when I first woke up. So I got on all fours and moved over the pile of rocks and patiently waited for her to walk out from behind the stones, when she didn't I remembered she can't walk and instead went towards her and layed down in front of her despite her reaction to me being so close. After a bit I heard another growl and this time it was louder than the last, she gave in and climbed on top of me I then got up and quickly made my way to the vegetation. When we reached there I asked her to climb on top of my shoulders so that I could give her a boost to one of the apples, she wasn't sure at first but after a bit she climbed up and i got up on the tree allowing her to grab as many as she wanted. After grabbing 6 of them she climbed down and sat the apples down on her knees, she gave 3 to me and took the rest. When she was comfortable she voraciously ate the apples after taking a bite out of the largest, I was curious if they were really as good as she's making them look so I put all 3 inside my mouth. They where pretty sweet so in the end I ate a dozen more and she grabbed a couple and put them in a pocket on her shirt.I was about to move on when she asked if she could ride me again, I had no problem with that so I picked her up and put her on my back.

Girl: Thank you mister.

Gregory: The names Gregory but feel free to call me Greg

Girl: Ok i'm Samantha  but you can call me Sam

She gave me a pleasant and vibrant smile that only a child could give, I'm honestly glad she can act more herself near me without being constantly afraid. Children should always be able to smile and be safe no matter what happens, I began to bring us back to the caves entrance while hoping the hornet won't comeback. I told Sam to keep a look out

for any insects that get to close or if any where following us, so far we've been in the clear and have had no problems.

When we got to the opening the coast was clear so we were able to safely make our way out of the cave. Once we were out I examined our location, it was a large forest all around us the cave seems to be home to various insects that can't fly. When I looked at the trees I noticed gigantic hives littered the floor nearby and all of them were cracked open and had tracks leading from them and into the forest. It was as if something smacked them all out of the trees and tore them open, whatever it was I didn't want to meet it anytime soon so we began to move in the opposite direction of the tracks. When I looked at the sky I noticed the sun was almost down and so we needed a place to hide and rest, while I was looking for that Sam was playing with my wings to pass the time. I noticed various caves while searching but I avoided them simply because i'm sick and tired of dark places. Soon the sunset was upon us so I had to make a drastic decision and uprooted a couple bushes dug a hole large enough to contain me and Sam near a rock and placed the bushes over it to make it seem as if they grew their. I grabbed a couple rocks and put them near the bushes so that I could close the little hideaway when I wanted to. I then put Sam under one  arm and crawled into the burrow adjusted the bushes one last time and sealed the entrance with rocks. 

Gregory: Goodnight Sam

Sam: Goodnight Gregory...

Sam fell asleep soon after, which left me alone to think about the future and what we'll have to speak about in the morning. Questions like where are we?, Where are Sams parents?,why were we inside those domes, and the most important of all what are we going to do now? With my mind full of worries I could only hold Sam tight and try and sleep. As the sounds of various animals and creatures fills the forest I close my eye and hope for the best.
