h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*the cat enters with Rin behind her, she changes into the humoniod form once more and sinks to the floor*

Rin, my name is Luthiena. We are of the same breed, both cats by nature. You, I understand, by your scent are half-demon.
Stay here, I will fetch your mother

*she leaves*

*somehow the scent of this demon is familiar and he instantly trusts her, he sits down on a lumpy sofa and waits*

*Ena enters carrying lil, she lays her down on the sofa adjacent to the one Rin is sat on*

*she mutters some words in a language foreign to Rin and lil, the very words are infused with power. The room seems no different and yet they know none can enter or leave without permission*

*Ena smiles*

Rin, I'll leave you with your mother. You are safe here, give her my love and tell her I will return for you both.

*she leaves*

*runs quickly to lil and shakes her arm*
Mummy?

Mummy, can you hear me?

*Slowly she open her eyes...her son is looking at her...holding her hand*


Oh Rin! *She pulls him close and hugs him*

*Looks around the room*


Where are we?

Rin... how did we get here?

Nice demon called..Lootheena or something. She said give you her love and we are safe here, she said she would come back

Yes..oh sweetheart..that is your Aunt Ena...did you bring her and Kham back?


*Hugs Rin closely *... You clever Boy!

She wasn't wearing any clothes

Did you see her as a cat first?

Poor Ena.. she cannot bring her clothes with her when she changes!!


*Sits Rin on her knee*


Mummy..now she is a little cleverer than that! Mummy can change into other people and animals...and when she needs to... she can change her clothes too!

See........*changes clothes into a soft comfortable day gown*

Now.. let us see what we can find in this room... there must be something that can tell where we are....

No, she was a human....she was swimming with the Kham man.
Clever mummy

Oh!



Yes..well... swimming you say?

Mummy will try to teach you one day darling... now come on and sit beside me... and have a little nap... Mummy needs to work something out in peace and quiet.. darling

Why don't you smell like me?

*chokes*


Baby..I think we need to have Aunt Ena here with us.. when I explain that to you.. Okay?

*Hugs Rin close and rocks him back and forth*

I like her, she smells like warm coconut

Yes darling.. she does *chuckle*

Yuna said you weren't my mummy, she said I wasn't supposed to talk to you

*gasp* She .. Yuna said that?


*Begins to tremble*


I.. I..... Rin I am your mother... But..Oh! What can I say..? *weeps quietly*

Mummy don't cry...*also begins to cry*
You are my mummy and I love you, she smelt funny

Ssshhh darling...come on...lie on here with me and let us cuddle..

*picks up Rin and lays him on the couch along side her. She has her arm wrapped around his tiny body*

Comfy darling?
