Morning had came and Peaches stood in the livingroom staring
at Star Cluster as he slept.
"Peaches, what have i told you about watching him?"
her mother asked from the kitchen.
"But moomy, I saw him move," Peaches answered.
The mother walked from the kitchen to the living room and stood
next to Peaches looking at him.
"Are you sure?" the mother asked.
"Yes, mommy."
Just then Star Cluster moved his front leg.
"I think he's finally waking up," the mother guessed.
Star Cluster was in a deep sleep before he heard voices. He opend
his eyes and saw the mother and her daughter looking at him.
"Good morning Star Cluster. You've slept for three days.
I was starting to get worried," the mother quickly said.
"You...know my name?" Star Cluster asked.
"Of course. You told me when we found you," the mother
replied, "Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you our names.
I am Amaryllis and this is my daughter Peaches."
Star Cluster slowly sat up still feeling very tired.
"Are you hungry?" Amaryllis asked, "I can give
you some soup."
"Yes, that would be nice," Star Cluster replied as
he rubbed his head.
Amaryllis left the room and walked to the kitchen while Star
Cluster continued to sit on the couch looking around. The room
was made of tree logs, there was another couch in front of him
with a fireplace to the right of him between the couches. There
were small tables with flowers on them and a narrow book case.
After awhile Amaryllis walked in with a small bowl. Star Cluster
looked up at her and took the bowl. He held the spoon and began
eating. Amaryllis and Peaches sat on the other couch.
"How are you feeling?" Amaryllis asked.
"Lost," Star Cluster answered.
"Do you remember anything?" Amaryllis asked curiously.
Star Cluster paused as he thought, trying hard to remember something
but his mind was a blank. Why couldn't he remember?
Amaryllis smiled at him, "It's ok. I'm sure your memmories
will come to you eventully."
Star Cluster kept silent, not sure how to responed. Was his memmories
importaint? He didn't know. As he eat his soup he noticed Peaches
had been staring at him since he woke up.
"Your daughter has been staring at me since I woke up,"
Star Cluster observed.
"Peaches, what did I tell you?" Amaryllis asked.
Peaches sighed sadly, "Sorry mommy."
"Why don't you go out and play, I'll be there soon."
Peaches smiled and hurried out of the room and down the hall
to get a ball then she went through the dinning room and ran
outside.
"I'm sorry about that. He finds you facinating," Amaryllis
told him.
"Facinating?" Star Cluster asked, "Why?"
"Well, when we found you in the forest, you had no fur or
hair. You were...just skin. Then with in seconds your fur and
hair grew back. It was amazing, Peaches still hasn't gotten over
it," Amaryllis explained.
Star Cluster was surprised, "My...fur grew back?" Star
Cluster looked at his fur on his front hoof.
"You didn't know you could do that?" Amaryllis asked.
Star Cluster was a bit shocked and yet, it seems familar, "I..don't
know."
Amaryllis smiled, "It's ok. I guess I shouldn't be asking
you so many questions since you don't seem to remember anything.
You are welcome to stay here but unfortunitly there are only
two rooms, one for me and one for Peaches. If you stayed, you'll
have to sleep on the couch."
"Thank you. the couch will be fine," Star Cluster replied.
"I'll be outside if you want to join us," Amaryllis
stood up and walked through the kitchen to the dinning room and
went outside.
Star Cluster was releived to finally eat in peace. He thought
about what Amaryllis said about his fur and how he was found.
"Just what was I doing in the forest?" Star Cluster
thought. He tried for sometime to remember anything but still
his mind was a blank. He stood up and walked to the kitchen.
He set the bowl on the counter and looked outside through the
window. Amaryllis was on the grass watching Peaches and laughing.
Star Cluster decided to walked outside and get some fresh air.
Amaryllis looked behind her and smiled when she saw Star Cluster
leaving the house. He walked up next to her and sat in the tall
grass.
"I see you decided to join me."
"Yes," Star Cluster replied, "No mater how hard
I try I can't think of anything."
"Don't try to hard. Give yourself sometime."
Star Cluster remained silent and watched Peaches kick the ball
and run after it. Amaryllis looked at him and noticed something
was on him mind, although he was watching peaches, he didn't
seem to be paying attenction.
"Are you sure your ok?" Amaryllis asked worriedly.
"Yes, I was just thinking," He looked at Amaryllis
bright sea green eyes and almost forgot what he was going to
say.
"What?" Amaryllis asked noticing the his stare.
"Oh, umm...Where did you find me?" Star Cluster asked.
"I'll show you," Amaryllis replied.
She stood up and walked across the clearing to the edge of the
forest. She took him to a tree and stopped, "There,"
She pointed, "We found you laying among those leaves and
sticks."
Star Cluster stared at the spot. There was lots of sticks and
twigs, Star Cluster looked at his back and noticed the slight
scratches.
"Your back looked worse three days ago, it's healed quite
nicely since then," Amaryllis told him.
Star Cluster looked up at the trees and noticed an opening through
the tree tops. The branches were broken and the twigs were gone.
The leaves had some how fallen from the tree making a bedding
on the grass where he had laid.
Suddenly as he looked up, an image of him falling through the
trees flashed before him. Star Cluster blinked a few times, then
he looked at the ground and another image flashed before him.
He had landed hard on the ground with no fur or hair.
"Star Cluster?" Amaryllis asked for the second time.
Star Cluster had not realized she was even speaking to him. He
looked at Amaryllis with a puzzled look, "I fell from the
sky."
Amaryllis looked at him not sure if she should beleive him. She
looked up at the tree.
"I fell through that spot in the trees," Star Cluster
pointed.
"What do you mean you fell?" Amaryllis asked, "Fell
from where?"
"I don't know, only that I fell from the sky," Star
Cluster answered. He couldn't remember anything else but a peice
of his memmories had returned. How long will it be till he got
all him memmories back? Where did he fall from? He had so many
questions racing through his mind.
Amaryllis and Star Cluster went back to the clearing and spent
the rest of the day in silence watching Peaches playing.
"I must get my memmories back," Star Cluster suddenly
said, "I feel it's importaint. I feel I left something importaint
behind."
"I'll help you then," Amaryllis told him.
Star Cluster smiled at her and yet he felt smiling wasn't normal
to him. Did he always smiled? If not, then why?
He spent the rest of the day thinking about his questions and
only coming up with more. |
