Squirrels Willy Wonka Novels & Stories

"There, my fearless alpha, lies the path to new territory! It's rumored to be guarded by the ferocious 'Fluffy-tailed Guardians.' Are you ready?" ‌ Andrei, his competitive spirit ignited, nodded with a grin. "Fluffy-tailed Guardians, you say? Let's show them the might of the pack!" ‌ As they ventured deeper into the thicket, they encountered an army of squirrels. The tiny creatures chattered angrily and hurled acorns at them, which resulted in a flurry of dodges and exaggerated leaps. Lucas, in his usual cheeky fashion, shouted, "The Guardians are fierce, but we are fiercer!"

When she looks down, she saw a furry creature running towards the sleeping lady and about a handful of what looks like a squirrel gathers around her bed and staring intently at the visitor in the house. “Why are they looking at us like that?” Ariadne ask. “They protect her.” “How? They are squirrels. What can they do?” As if on cue, the so called squirrels hiss at them with their jaw spread open and sharp fangs lined up horrifyingly on their gums. They look like creatures form hell with the way their eyes glow. “They are not squirrels. They are Zlokha. Sacred creature raised by my kind to protect and became companion. Like dogs but they are more vicious.”

I didn't want anyone else to know I was asking questions. I waited until we were seated, then tried to ease into it. "How do you feel about the assignment?" "Not great, would have been easier if I didn't have another lecture this afternoon." "Who with?" "Old Lady Kirk." "I have her too. Please tell me she's not as uptight as Flint." "She's alright, but she tries a little hard to be our friend. She throws sweets to people who answer questions correctly, so get ready to catch." Free sugar didn't seem too bad. After so little sleep, a sugar rush wouldn't have been objectionable.

I looked at the men around me, and they didn't acknowledge it in the slightest. I watched a little sparrow land on a branch. "I want to see her closer," I heard a voice announce, and it shockingly matched the beak movement of the little sparrow. It practically sang the words along with its birdsong. Narrowing my eyes, I looked around us. My eyes settled on a little chipmunk holding a scrap of food from Ragnar's pack. "The big one is slow," the chipmunk jeered, mouth moving exactly with the words I was hearing.

Yellow said, his voice crisp and annoyingly smug. I nearly threw my boot at him. Behind him, two more small figures bounded out. Carotin—ever the chubby carrot-colored squirrel—chattered happily, waving his tiny paws like I hadn’t been gone for an eternity. And the apple trees? Yeah, they started humming. Freaking humming, like a chorus of nosy aunts gossiping at a tea party. I rubbed my temples. “I’ve officially lost it. I’m hallucinating woodland karaoke.” “You’re not hallucinating,” Mr. Yellow said, hopping closer. His little nose twitched, his golden fur shimmering faintly with magical aura. “You’ve begun the trial.”

It seemed to be the origin of the noise, and I couldn't help but wonder what creature might be concealed within it this time. Taking a step toward the shrub once again, I let out a breath, bracing myself for whatever creature might burst forth. Another swoosh behind me, and I pivoted to witness a creature right where the cat had been. But this time, it wasn't a cat; it was a... "Squirrel!" I gritted my teeth in frustration. The squirrel, much like the cat, darted into the dark woods as if something had spooked it away, despite me not having moved an inch.

Millie said, “My two octopuses have departed. What about yours?” “Mine dropped off when the squealing started. Good grief, do you think they are afraid of the creature that is making the squealing sound? If so, that must be one freaky creature. Whatever it is, judging from its squealing, I think it’s coming closer to us in the passageway.”

Logan nodded, “Aye, we do the same.” Susanna nodded in understanding as she picked up the story where Kate left off. “So, she was sitting in the tree next to Daddy with tape over her mouth and we see two little chipmunks run across the branches above us. Now, I don’t know if you remember the story of the White Queen and her Seven Minions but the hero of the story is, of course -” Susanna stopped as Nate snorted loudly. “The chipmunks,” Nate said with a laugh. His eyes twinkled merrily.

Horan explained as he pointed to the opposite side of the stream, where the garden or the forest was. "Alright, understood." Jennet nodded her head as she held her husband's arm when they crossed the bridge. But, mid-way, they still stopped to admire the beautiful wisteria above their heads. The wisteria housed another colony of beings that looked like squirrels but had long ears like rabbits, poofy furs that made them look chubby and crystal-clear wings that looked like the cicada’s wings. Their eyes were big and gleamy in caramel colour, and they squeaked when they were spooked. Oh, they were as huge as a bee and they had cute bobtails.

“Caelum was playing in the backyard.” A small smile touched her lips. “He’d been chasing squirrels all morning.” That sounded exactly like him. “He suddenly came running toward me.” “‘Grandma Mara,’ he kept shouting. ‘Come quickly!’” Her smile disappeared. “I thought he’d fallen.” “But when I got there…” She swallowed. “There was a squirrel lying on the ground.” “It had fallen out of the tree.” My fingers tightened around the mug. “Was it dead?” “No.” “It was alive.” “But one of its legs…”
