Hiding in the cave is like the wild, where all the animals would run away from the humans during hunting. The remaining four elephants, the four lions, two ostriches, a hippo, an alligator, Snail and Cress, the two gorillas, a female orangutan, and this donkey with rainbow polka dots. One of the animals, Bona is praying to her god. I look at her, thinking that we do believe in God or some guardian who raised us a long time ago. I asked her, “Do you think a god would help us?”

Bona turned quickly and answered with tears, “Yes, he will take us to a sanctuary.”

“You are in the wild now, you must be free from it. You are born in the woods, with natural food and family,” I said. 

“I have a family, they might be thinking I’m dead or not. I want to see them again. Why are you doing this?” I continued. 

Bona sees Bono looking at the beach and said,” You are right, rat. I can see my memories going back to normal. I feel weak.”

Darn. I’m not a rat, god dang it. 

But what about the rest of the animals? 

“I refused to be around here. I miss home,” Fredrick said. 

“I would stay here but this play is too small, I like it better than that fucking zoo,” one of the elephants, Kinna had said. The remaining four elephants are sad now. 

“I can say for you all is-“ I said, but the elephants screamed at all of us that a mouse has come to them. The elephants ran out of the cave, and one of them almost touched my head, feeling the heavy push making my heart beat fast. The lions and others are confused.

“We should split up into groups! Whoever wants to get out of this island, stay in this cave. Whoever wants to live here, get out of the cave, “ Fredrick said. While the lions are not moving, Snail exits the cave first, and I follow him. I turned around to Fredrick and gave him the snake eyes. Lucy also followed us. 

Only three of us look around to find the last zebra when we hear a scream. A girl and neighing. Dang! It’s the zebra. 

“Snail and Lucy! Hide! I will find out!” I shouted. 

“Listen! We have to find the trouble!” Speed chases to find the trouble along with her sister. The forest is too many leaves the zebra screams and this alien girl holds her to death, calling to get her brothers to kill it. The rustles come from the army of men in the bushes and holding sharp spears. 

STAB!! 

STAB!

STAB!

The blood of the zebra shines through the aliens’ eyes, seeing the animal dying and laughing at how it does not fight back. 

Scared is the only thing the zebra feels, I thought while hiding in the bushes, but the cheetahs stopped and backed off slowly. The zebra is panting and panting and looking at the little alien, asking, “Why are you killing us?”

Her beating heart paused after a stab in the chest, and she saw the blurry vision before entering heaven. 

I have to find Snail and Lucy until one more member joins in, Gregory. Why is he the most unusual figure I am seeing? With rainbow polka dots, am I dreaming? 

“I want a new home, a home I have the freedom to go to, “cried Gregory. 

“Me, too. I just want to be myself,” Lucy cried. 

“Okay! We all need something like this, “I called out. 

Damn, all the animals in the cave. I cannot let them do this. Just then, a human comes over, stares at us, and says, “What are these animals doing here? Have to find the boat they had an exit?” 

All of us turned to him, questioning how he knew us. He comes closer, touching my face and smile. I smile, too. I hug him.

All of the animals are confused. Lucy and Gregory ran off to the forest. The human yells at them to not enter. Lucy and Gregory still ran off. The human chases them, and I tell Snail to hide. I follow him. But Snail wants to join, he wants to fight.
