"Qatan!" She exclaimed, but instead of longing, her voice had a dangerous hunger in it, and her eyes gleamed as well as she looked at him. He spread his paws and rose up into the air, then repulsed back the next second after realizing that maybe he had misunderstood the whole situation and felt a primal fear encompassing his fluffy mind.
"No, Isra." He hid behind #212.
"Just a small chunk," Isra said, moving slowly towards Qatan. And he started panting. #212 simply glided aside and buzzed with satisfaction upon seeing him truly scared.
"Do you want me to electrocute you?" Qatan said in a shrill voice.
"Good idea. Now I roast you and eat you." Isra kept moving towards him, breaking small branches under her every step. And with each creak, his heart sank even lower.
"#212, save me, please," he pleaded.
"Well, just let her bite once; she's really hungry, you know. They haven't eaten in a whole day," #212 replied.
"Do you want money? You wanted money, right? I'll steal for you; I've really fluffy paws; no one will notice," Qatan said.
"Money what I bite and eat your fluff," Isra grinned maliciously, her sense of words replaced by her carnivorous desire to eat Qatan.
Soon, Khadija walked from behind the woods, gasped when she saw Qatan, and flinched back when she saw Isra. Then she looked at #212, and #212 simply nodded at her. She understood and stood aside, folding her arms.
"Hello Khadija, please tell your demon friend to back off. Look, I have candies," Qatan said scaredly as he raised his paws up, and on them were a bunch of delicious-looking candies.
That stopped Isra for a moment, and she simply accepted a candy off his fluffy paw, passed it to Khadija, and then took one for herself.
'No, don't eat the cand-' #212 said as he visibly disgusted away from the candies, Qatan looked at him and, without saying a single word, smiled with wide teeth.
"You maniac" #212 was lost for words; he exactly knew what the candies were. Qatan kept smiling at him.
"Yes, yes, eat your fill; I have a lot more. I can poop them anytime I want."
The girls stopped and slowly looked up at him. He kept smiling with his maniac-wide smile.
It was Khadija who moved at a speed that caught Qatan off guard and grabbed him. Isra moved next and smiled back with the same maniac intensity.
"What were you saying?" Said Isra.
Just then, what appeared to be a fat little creature made up of tofu walked towards them. He looked like a little sumo with raddish skin and green lettuce-like hair growing on top of his head, wearing a small bright red cloth on his fat waist.
"Master, food is ready. Come," he said to #212, joining his chubby hands together. Then he looked at everyone, one by one.
"Master i come back later no problem" He said
"No, wait, Gimpi, we'll be there," said #212.
Qatan sighed in relief.
*********************
The sun had set, and the girls were really hungry. They had been offered only the honey soup, but it was barely enough. It kept them warm and was quite delicious, but they craved some solid food. Apparently, #212 had taken care of that as well.
The whole team silently followed Gimpi through the woods and soon walked out into an opening between the trees. A small bird landed near Gimpi, and Gimpi whispered something into its ear, then it flew off. Soon, the circular opening was illuminated by hundreds of birds that sat on the branches of nearby trees.
On the ground, a feast was laid. Huge hotpots of pure polished wood were spread across the blanket of evenly cut grass. Steam was leaking out of their caps, hinting at something amazingly delicious contained within.
Just beside the hotpots were big pots of fresh honey soup and water. Gimpi was then joined by countless others who moved from hotpot to hotpot, inspecting their state. Like a proud leader, he commanded them to take care of trinkets and even the smallest details. Making the whole moment appear magical. They had outdone themselves.
Once the food was set nicely, he walked towards the team and cleared his throat. And spoke
"This feast is a treat from Queen Golden for Team Insaaf; she commends their bravery and valor. She wished to be here, but Gimpi will take care of that and prepare another bigger feast when she comes here." Gimpi added the last part.
By now, Qatan had already been spotted and reported back to the queen by the scouts as they were walking towards the feast.
"Let the feast begin," Gimpi said, and then guided each one of them to their sitting place.
They all settled down, and #212's comms buzzed.
