Rosette shook her pelt out as she was placed back in the fish tank. She swore under her breath. "They messed my pelt up." she complained.
Cinnamon walked out to Rosette and nuzzled her. "I'm glad you're okay."
Rosette chattered her teeth. "They're not done yet. Get back in the hidey!" Rosette warned.
A hand reached in. Cinnamon darted in the hidey and cowered in the corner. The hideaway was picked up and Cinnamon was lifted in the air.
"Cinnamon!" Rainy cried.
Cinnamon froze, rigid with fear, as she was placed into arms.
"SQUEAK! MOVE AROUND! BITE!" Splash cried.
Cinnamon tried to move, but found out that her muscles wouldn't work. Her mind was spinning and she felt like she was going to fall.
She couldn't wheek, not to even say "good bye" when she was placed in a box. She seriously hoped that she would be in a good home, not the common home when some pig gets bought because they saw G-Force and decided that they wanted a guinea pig. A week later, the pig gets returned because the kid gets bored of the pig. Cinnamon had already had two of those homes. and in one of those homes, she had been placed in a hamster cage.
Cinnamon's world was spinning. The box was dark, and she was lonely. She was placed in the shopping cart and the cart bounced along. The sound of her old cage mates' squeaks still echoed in Cinnamon's ears. "Cinnamon,do something!" "Cinnamon, don't leave!"
Her mother's scent wrapped around Cinnamon. "Just close your eyes, you'll be all right."
Her mother's scent wrapped around Cinnamon. "Just close your eyes, you'll be all right."
"But you're dead!" Cinnamon muttered, half to herself.
"I'm always looking out for you and your siblings." Cinnamon's mother murmured.
"Come back!" Cinnamon wailed.
Cinnamon's mother touched Cinnamon's ear with her nose. "You know I would if I had the chance. I must go now."
Cinnamon's mind still reeling, Cinnamon fell asleep, but didn't shut her eyes.
