what scares you?..everything
It hears noises. They grow louder and louder. Screaming around it. What are they going on about. So that is what the warmth is? Tree. Its voice, sandpapery with lack of use, tongue thick and stuck in its throat. "Treeeee" it forces out, almost gagging on the word in its throat.
It can't say it doesn't like what its learning though. Nice to know something now. Just if these new sounds are here. Its pretty sure that others are also around. It opens its maw snapping around, and a new voice. A more familiar one is telling it something. "Fire" It repeats the word. Move and it would feel fire. Now if it is near tree, then how is it near fire. It figures maybe, fire and tree are one and the same.
Then again it hears more sounds. Food, it thinks to itself that, this it must be refering to coils. "Food, fire" It puts one and the other together. Yes food is warm like fire, yes it did want fire food. Now how to say that he likes this voice. "Food" It takes a step closer to the voice nudging its nares out towards the other it. Food felt nice, maybe the word could tell the other it that it thought the other it nice, like food. The other it, took a pain away.
The darkness around it doesn't let up, but it seems to get deeper now that it no longer faced the flames. It also noticed, closer to the voice is not as.... well, food. Or so it thought.
