Ahhh...Arabella blew bubbles from her tiny paws and watched them dance in the sunlight. As soon as her paws were free again, a sunflower seed was handed to her from the right. Oh yes, that was the way to enjoy hamster life. Granted, when he had grabbed her and dropped her into the steaming teacup. Her heart had stopped! Who knew if he did not secretly belong to a magic circle for whose spells one needed cooked hamsters? Well, she took it back. She bathed in the finest teacup, the warm water had wonderfully frothy bubbles, around her the bewitching flowery scent of the teas and as soon as she looked up, she was handed a snack. A queen could not have been pampered better! Of course, she didn't want to shortchange the view either! Her now temporary live-in partner sat across from her, drinking from another cup as he kept handing her treats. He had shed his street clothes and changed into a casual shirt with a wide open collar, as well as pants that were nothing to sneeze at. His hair was shone by the sun and it almost seemed as if he had a halo. It was magical. Sighing softly, she sank deeper into the water. It was as if all the ballast of the last days would fall off her. The forced marriage, the escape and the magician. She wrinkled her nose thoughtfully. The mage, somehow she had to get back to the village. She needed the antidote if she wasn't going to spend the rest of her days as a hamster. How long did hamsters live anyway ... Certainly not very long if they tried to ride a carriage alone. She would have been trampled to death before she could make a peep. She had only one choice. To make it clear to the gods that she was an enchanted beauty. Arabella cleared her throat to get his attention, but as soon as her mouth was open, he stuffed a sunflower seed into it. Whereby he looked at her in love. His smile was really enchanting, but she didn't have time for that. Energetically, she spit out the snack and raised her paw in warning as he was already bringing the next one her way.
"Enough with the seeds!" As hard as she could, she stared at him out of her dark beady eyes. Mmpft! Damn it he had shoved the next snack into her mouth. Outraged, she waved her little arms that the bath water sloshed out of the cup.
"Is the water cold?" Without any decency, he stuck his finger into HER cup! What a lout! "Find your own cup!" Arabella swatted at him with her paw. Poof diewup he had grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and was rubbing her with a handkerchief as if she were a shoe to be polished. In the end she looked like an exploded sofa cushion! Unbearable. Energetically she puffed out her cheeks and fixed him. Unfortunately, that only ended with her being practically buried under sunflower seeds. Like a prize swimmer, she fought her way up, so that in the end at least her head stuck out of the snacks. The man was a jerk. How did she make it clear to him that she wasn't a hamster and, above all, that she didn't want any more sunflower seeds for heaven's sake?
Marriage?! No way! Arabella wants more than to become some man's decorated accessory. On the way to her own wedding, the bride bails to finally be free. But there are moments in life when you should listen to your mother, for example, not to drink magic potions of unknown origin...
Well at least as a hamster I don't have to marry anyone anymore...There is only one problem why does this guy stuff me in his jacket pocket?!
