MAТТRESS

"mom??" tal called up "are you okay?"

"wow..." tal couldnt imagine living in a place like this. it wasnt anything like the cabin. he looked up at the slide to see if his mom was coming down yet what was taking her so long?

"what is this place?" tal turned to the frog kid.

tal looks around.

hello hello! all of the mattresses replying to this are different people lol hope you have a great time here!!

he looked around to see if his sister had made it down here safely

yeah, i have drawn animals with these types of legs sideways before, and thats way easier to do

(ACK SORRY MAYBE TALS MOM WILL STAY TO GET YOU IDK AA)

tal took a deep breath ”okay.” he sat down on the slide and pushed himself down.

tal looked at his mom with concern. he didnt have much of a choice now. "want me to go first?" he asked.

tal speed-walked over, still holding on to his moms hand. he looked down the hole.

"i said be careful with her." tal said harshly. he was relived to see that his sister was still mostly okay. "what now." he said, being far more curt than he had been before. he still didnt know if he could trust this kid, and them dropping his sister certainly wasnt helping his case.

tal tucked his wings in a bit to prevent them from dragging him behind. "i wonder if i could..." his voice faded out. he shook his head. no, he couldnt even prevent himself from falling out of ladders with these things, no way hed be able to do anything of use with them. he just kept speed-walking through the forest.

(ahaha sorry man yk i love me some angst) "they said that we needed to watch out for pink ribbons on the fence...but ive never seen any of those. and ive only ever seen one person come near here at night time..." tal quickened his pace a bit. he suddenly wasnt feeling too comfortable with the fact that his sister was with this kid.

(wait but why does it sort of sound like him just a bit?)

tal looked back at his home for one last time. he forced himself to look away, he wouldve stared at the house forever if he could have. how many times had he taken that front door for granted? the fence? the smell of fresh soup? the garden? he felt tears coming into his eyes. he blinked them away. this isnt goodbye, he told himself, hoping that it was the truth. this was the best thing for everyone. if they wanted to stay safe, they had to leave...or so that was what the frog kid said. a kid who he could only hope was being truthful, and wasnt leading him and his family into their doom "do you think were doing the right thing?" tal asked his mom

tal realized he was squeezing his moms hand pretty hard. he loosened up his grip. "yeah...hope..." he knew this was the right thing to do, but it felt so wrong.

tal took his mothers hand. it seemed so cold. he looked around his and his sisters bedroom, trying to drink it all in before hed need to say goodbye forever. he wanted to remember every detail of this place. he swallowed hard.

pog

"...'toodles'" tal said back into the empty night. he readjusted the sack on his shoulder. "i guess we should go then." he turned to his mom

"i think ill stay with my mom" tal said. he desperately needed to figure out what was going on here, he was so confused about what was happening. he glanced nervously over at his sister stuck at the frog kids side "be careful with her." he said to the kid.

tal stepped back as the kid flew in. he slung his sheet over his shoulder and looked at his mom.
