<span style="font-style: italic">Well,</span>she thought.<span style="font-style: italic">At least he can mostly understand me.</span>She watched him curiously as he sat down.<span style="font-style: italic">At least he doesn't act a like a monkey.</span>She half smiled at her thought and tried not to laugh. She knew he didn't trust her, because he never took his eyes off her. She wasn't offended though. She was probably the first human he'd seen.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Human leave...Lead out the other way."</span><br/><br/>She frowned. She was silent for a few moments, trying to think of a way to make him understand. She slowly lowered herself into a crouching position and rested her arms on her knees. She was almost eyes level with him, but she didn't move any closer to him. She didn't want him to feel threatened or anything. She started to speak.<br/><br/>"I..can't go back that way." She pointed behind her, towards the path she'd been dragged down. "There are more people that way. More humans. And they're bad." She spoke a little slowly, not quite sure how much English he understood. She pointed back at herself. "They want to hurt me again. But I'm not bad." She looked into the boy's eyes, hoping he understood. The green in her eyes seemed dull, and full of worry. If she couldn't get him to understand, she didn't know what she was going to do.
