"Ah, you poor, poor girl. Do you not know that it was because of that guy you were dating that I became truly intrigued by you?" Toby smiled at me, trying to keep me off-centered and scared.
The joke was on him. As a mouse, I was always off-centered and scared. It was my default setting.
I raised an eyebrow at him. "And just how did you figure that out?" I asked, still not having a clue what was going on.
"You see, in this world, there are magical creatures way beyond the scope of your human imagination," started Toby, taking a step away from me.
"Are we talking about aliens or zombies?" I asked, forcing my voice to go higher as if I were scared.
Toby, the male bunny rabbit, laughed at that. "Of course, there is no such thing as aliens and zombies. I'm talking about shifters—people who can change into animals at will."
