Anna thought that was what she heard. By then, it wouldn't matter if the animals were dead or alive when they'd vanished! They'd have starved by the end of the year.

She turned back to Denton, waiting for hiom to decide where his creature had gone off to. "Have you lost it?" she asked, glancing around on the floor. "What exactly did you have?" She stood and surveyed the area, waiting for a frog to come hopping along or some mouse to come scurrying by.

"I don't---..."

SMACK.

Anna gasped and clamped the palm of her head onto her cheek. What was the frazzling deal with ooey, gooey things getting all over her today? She removed her hand and studied the slimy little frog she'd pulled away. She held her hand around the frog, so it couldn't hop away, which she could tell it was trying to. "Who is your owner?" she asked, as if the frog could answer.

Fritzera.

No doubt...

Taking a deep breath and counting backwards from ten, Anna strolled back over to Fritzera, grabbed his hand, and placed the frog gently inside. She finished that little act by closing his palm around it, so it wouldn't hop off---or worse, fly off via wand once again. "Your frog, Fritzera," she flatly said. Not saying anything else, she turned and headed back to Denton.

"Shall I go and retrieve you another creature, Denton?" she asked. "If I'm to assist you with this, then you'll need to provide a creature to work with. That is, unless, you're aware of where your's has headed off to?"
