her world was what she had known for many months. in it she had made a functional life where she was fed, where she grew from child to adult, where those to be worshipped were outside and who sometimes—more frequently as she grew older—spoke to her and the being with her. it was not just her world after all; there was someone else to share it with her. their method of communication was through kicks. they'd even commune with 'the great ones' that way.
what they had done to disappoint those beings she did not know. the small, nameless creature inside only felt, suddenly, the absence of her companion. she did not like it. it frightened her, this change. it felt pivotal. from within, the creamy cub resisted only up until the point she felt a heavy squeeze. she could do nothing else. her life was finished.
but any of that life was near-forgotten. consistent with her sisters line of thought, she was reborn into a new world. naked and afraid, there was not a single second for the paler one to think of silence. it was cold, here. and what she had landed on was nothing like the place she had been, where she float in place and was kept warm.
she cried and cried, for there was something else absent. it was her companion, the one she had known all of her life. she yearned for her. the youngest child felt safest with her around, a safety blanket if ever there was one. even when her mother spoke, the youth was resistant. if it were at all possible, she might have shrank into herself; as it were, she simply lay there, yelling at the world. she could not hear, but then, she never really could; her mothers "vibrations" were somehow consistent with something else familiar. it was this that let her catch her breath, that calmed her into quiet. she had enjoyed what the tongue brought, but it was the voice she liked best for the moment.
but then the youth cried again; there was something else she needed, beyond her sister, something she did not know.
