Beastella...Inst5

"Shkrohhhk, Shkrohhhk, SHHHKROHHHHHHHHK" !!! Estella was jarred from dreamlands luring grasp by the exited shrieks of one of the animals,just on the other side of her screened window. It was 'Esther the Ebullient Emu', someone must have let her out in the yard. "Sorry Misstella, didnt mean to wake you", Melix said with a smirk. "That's ok, MissMelix. Perhaps i should put Frida in your bed, after you have fallen asleep", retorted Estella,playfully. Frida the Flatulent Fox had wandered onto their farm one hot and humid August night, perhaps three or four years back now. Justin LeBonte' had been playing with Esther the Ebullient Emu , trying to tire her out so she could retire in her 'run'. One of the most surefire ways of chilling her out came to mind. Let her nab a few leaves of 'wacky weed' , she would then want her music, she loved music, especially 'Donna Summer'. The former disco divas voice relaxed Esther, Maria had her "Honestly the last reworked versions of the same 8 songs : 8disc mechasupergreatesthits collection" in the barns sound system often, as she assisted the animals. Justin had installed a small speaker in Esthers sleeping area. He had it configured to a frequency that only she, and perhaps 'Otto, the Old Owl' could hear. Estellas father pulled one of the 5fingered herbal sprigs out of the baggie in his inner coat pocket, his 'treats' for Esther for polite behaviour. Justin waved it in front of her nose "Here girl, race u to the patch". Esther gently took the sprig from his hand, before racing off to the patch where her herbal nirvana grew. Just as they made it through the trail in the corn field, Esther let out an exited "Shkrohhhk". Justin nearly jumped out of his skin from the sudden loud sound. "Esther, relax, relax" He hummed a couple lines of "Macarthur Park", that caused her to momentarilly pause, and dance a couple steps. Only briefly though, then she resumed frantically running around in a circle,fastly. That was one of her most common ways of showing anxiety,Justin trusted her senses and was led to investigate. He walked a couple hesitant steps toward the 'wonder weed' patch,Esther followed suit. She got up the nerve to poke her head forward a bit to investigate. As she breached the outer rim of the patch,she poked her head into it, inquisitively,quickly withdrawing it with a "Shkrohhk". They both froze then,hearing a rustle a couple feet into the herbal utopia, they both smelled a foul smell neither one had produced. Esther stepped back as a black nose barely peeked thru the greenery,sniffing its new acquantences. The owner of the nose must have sensed it could venture out a tad more, an auburn and ivory snout followed its nose out. The light of the quarter moon softly illuminated the newcomers eyes, the rest of the creatures form emerged from its sweet herbal cloak. The two creatures just stared at each other,frozen in speculative queery. Justin hoped his new guest was friendly,he looked forward to greeting it. He wondered if the same treat would coax their new freind into a calming repose, as it did with Esther. As it stepped fully out of the shadows, Justin thought something looked odd on its rear end, some type of wounds perhaps. He and Esther calmly approached their guest, it appeared to be some kind of Fox,hence the red hued hair. The three seemed comfortable with each other, so Justin decided to coax it into his barn so he could check out the sores. Upon inspection, there looked to be fragments of some type of gauze affixed to freshly drying wounds. He treated the fox to a bowl of Chamomile,valerian root , and 'sweet herb' tea, hoping to gently anesthetize it into sleep with his wifes enhanced blend. It was working, she lapped it up quickly, then started to slowly turn around in a circle, matting down her chosen place of sleep. After the fox sank into deep slumber, Justin began the inspection. His experience as an animal doctor told him the bits of bloody gauze must have been some type of bandage, but for what purpose? She (as he could denote from its 'FoxHole' (lol) ) did not appear to have old wounds, these were relatively fresh. When he lifted her right cheek, there was a torn piece of gauze caught on a lower tooth. It seemed as if she had inflicted her own wounds, but why? Why was the gauze glued to her skin so harshly, before there were any injuries for it to cover? The fox opened its mouth in a contented yawn, sensing it was finally in safe haven, just prior to its posterior exherting a 'Phpppppphw' sound. The noxious odour that resulted made Justin start to gag. Esther let out her load noise, then leaned forward and proceeded to vomit from the putrescent smell. After running out into fresh air, Justin and Esther looked at each other oddly, they both laughed loudly, in their respective ways. He knew then what he would name the newest member of their animal family. "Frida, the Flatulent Fox" .
