Ti had warned her, now she was in trouble. " Oh Ti, I'm so sorry," she wept. Her mind wouldn't let go of this nightmare, it just made time go faster till they were at the day the rabbits became restless and began to fight with one another. She wasn't sure how much time had passed but she knew she was hungry, very hungry. Soon her pets were no longer looked upon as pets, her mind rebelled against the onslaught of hunger but her body had other ideas. Suddenly in one quick motion she pounced upon one of the rabbits and her body began to churn with voracious hunger.
Her conscious mind knew the rabbit she had hold of, his name was Thumper. However her subconscious mind knew it only as food and it now controlled her. First she tried to use her mouth but her jaws wouldn't quite open wide enough so she resorted to her other orifice. She dropped to the floor and pulled off her track pants in exhilaration. She tossed them aside forgetting they ever existed. She thrust the rabbits between her legs and shoved hard. She pushed and pushed and soon her body had adjusted enough and the rabbit began to work its way into her body. Her mind screamed as each of her special friends was devoured. Her body shifted and moved to accommodate all of the rabbits that she had lovingly cared for all these months. In the end she looked like a beached whale, Mother had gotten her show. As the rapture wore off, Swallow began to scream.
The Past: Great Britain.
"Martha I still think this is wrong." Said Jonathan Kent from the driver's side of the old truck.
"Now John I've known Mary for a long time and if she says this girl will be perfect for us then I believe her." Martha Kent was having a hard time in getting her husband to accept that a girl could be their salvation.
"But you know why we wanted to adopt. I can't do all the work on the farm alone. She's going to have to be tough Martha. And you know that the tough ones are always the trouble makers."
"Mary said Ti was the best thing to happen to her, so I'll wait till I meet her to pass judgement."
"Hmmh" He still wasn't too happy about this but his wife was seldom wrong about things.
They pulled into the orphanage and were greeted by Mary. "Martha, Jonathan it so nice to see you again. Thank you for volunteering to be foster parents for Ti."
Martha gave Mary a gentle hug. "Its nice to see you again too. Now where is Ti?"
"Believe it or not she's nervous and frightened. I never thought anything could scare her."
"Tough one is she?" Jonathan knew this wasn't going to work out.
"No just different, now come on. Lets get you two introduced."
The group entered into what Mary called the reception room. It looked much like a living room, it was there to ease the transition. John and Martha sat and waited with anticipation. Then Mary came in. Jonathan and Martha both stood up.
"John, Martha I'd like to introduce you to Ti." As she spoke Ti came into the room.
Jonathan and Martha both fell back into their chairs. Ti's size overwhelmed them both in utter amazement. Their reaction threw Ti all off and she bolted out of the room, crying all the way back to her room.
"Oh my!" Said Martha. "Where did she go?"
"I was afraid something like this might happen." Mary said.
"She's huge!" Said Jonathan. "You said she'd be strong, but she's monstrous." He said nervously.
Martha was shocked at what Jonathan had just said. "Jonathan that wasn't very nice."
"Sorry Martha but you saw her."
"She's just different Jonathan."
"I'll go see if I can calm her down. She was really terrified in meeting you, knowing how different she was. She really hasn't been around a lot of people. Plus the fact that you were thinking of adopting her was even more of a strain. Just stay here and let me see what I can do." Mary said with concern in her voice. She hoped she could salvage this, for the Kents were the nicest people she knew.
"No." Said Martha. "I'm going to go, you stay here. Tell me what room she is in."
Martha walked down the corridor and found Ti's room. She listened and heard the sounds of crying. "Ti my name is Martha Kent, we just met briefly I was wondering if I could talk with you." She pushed the door open and saw Ti huddled in the corner crying.
Ti looked up as she entered. "I'm sorry I frightened you."
Martha knelt down, then sat, which wasn't easy for her. Arthritis had set in early within her. "You didn't frighten us child, just took us by surprise was all." She took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the giant skunk. "Well Mary said you were big, looks like she wasn't exaggerating."
Ti sniffed. "Always have been."
"Well my dear it doesn't take long to warm up to you. Think you can come out and meet my husband before we take you home?"
"Home?" Ti's eyes opened wide
"Our home, most of the paper work has already been done. Mary was one hundred percent sure we would fall for you. I didn't think it would be literally." She laughed and Ti's face lit up. "Now that's a face I want to see more often."
Ti got up but saw that Martha was having problems. "If I may." She looked at Martha and she nodded. Ti put her paws under Martha's arms and lifted her to her feet. Martha couldn't believe how gentle her touch was.
"Thank you Ti."
"You're welcome."
"Now lets go get my husband and get out of here."
Jonathan put on his best face and quickly warmed up to Ti. She still was a bit overwhelming but she quickly grew on him. As they approached the old truck Jonathan had to apologize. "I'm sorry Ti but you're going to have to get in the back of the truck. No room in the cab in this old girl for a big young lady such as yourself."
"It's ok." Ti put her small bag of things in the back and jumped in. She took a deep breath and thought this was a new step in her new life. She liked the Kents a lot but she didn't know whether they liked her enough to sign the papers. Again she sighed heavily.
They stopped at a gas station to fill up the truck. Suddenly there was a tremendous crash and someone came out of the garage screaming for help. Ti was immediately out of the truck and trying to find out what was wrong. It seemed that a lift had failed and a mechanic was trapped underneath an automobile. Jonathan and Ti found the car and Ti gave it a good look over. She was pretty sure she could lift it.
"Jonathan you get the mechanic out while I lift the car." Ti said with urgency.
"Ti that car's too heavy you could hurt yourself."
She was pleased to hear that he was concerned for her safety. "I can lift it. Get ready."
He nodded and watched her pick up the car. Her muscles were straining but she lifted it enough for Jonathan to grab the unconscious mechanic and pull him to safety. "Ok Ti put it down he's safe."
Ti gently put the car down and all around cheers erupted. "Looks like you have a fan club Ti." Jonathan said with a big smile. Ti didn't say anything as she knelt down and began expertly rendering first aid to the mechanic.
Once she had stopped the bleeding and made him comfortable, Martha stood beside her and asked, "Where did you learn to do that?"
"I have read several texts on medical aid." Mother had many in the library.
"It wasn't long before the ambulance arrived and took the injured mechanic to the hospital.
After everyone had calmed down, the Kents and Ti got back into their truck and headed for home. "Martha I think we just gained ourselves a daughter." He said with pride.
"I knew that when I went into that room Jonathan. She was so upset that my heart just poured out to her. She's going to be good for us Jonathan, I just know it." She looked through the back window of the truck at the large female Skunk and her heart beat with excitement and joy. They knew their lives would never be the same from this day forward.
