Like an answer, the rabbit hopped deeper into his hideaway and deeper into the darkness. The walls of the rabbit cave slanted into the ceiling to a single point. I didn’t think that the hole had been in the top of a hill, but with my shoulder the way it was, I wasn’t about to climb back the way I came. At the other end of the cavern, the rabbit was only slightly glowing, but I could still see it even in the darkest portion of the cave.

I dropped the story and headed towards the rabbit. Once I entered the darkness, the rabbit was sitting there, waiting for me. “Do you have a name little guy?” The rabbit didn’t talk again, and instead continued his hopping into the darkness. “What about Hopper?” The rabbit stopped, stood still as stone, and he pulled his ears close to his body. “Yeah. I guess that is more of a grasshopper’s name.” The rabbit continued forward, and I followed him. “Fuzzy?” The rabbit’s ears flicked up and done. “You liked that one?” Again, the ear flick.

I was having a conversation with a bunny. “I’m crazy,” I stated. The rabbit’s ears flicked up and down. “So, that it isn’t even a yes. It is just a natural reflex.” The ears flicked again. “Of course.” The rabbit stopped at the edge of the darkness and glanced up. His glow illuminated the feet of a statue. I scooped him up, so I could use him to look at the statue.

Fuzzy’s glow illuminated the entirety of a statue and the three directly behind the first statue. “What is this?” Of course, the bunny still didn’t talk, because he was a bunny. All four of the statues had looks of fear planted on their face like they had been caught whilst screaming. There were three statues of girls and one of a guy. The girl that Fuzzy had been looking at had a backpack on her back, I could see a set of stone headphones peeking from the flap. The guy had a crossbow mounted on his arm, and I didn’t have to look at the other two girls to know who they were, because of Dante’s book.
