Unwanted

Apple bumpkin trotted through the everfree not minding the prick of branches. Finally she emerged to the place where her crude house sat. The rabbit followed slowly behind still cautious of apple bumpkin. Finally apple bumpkin walked into her crude house and lay her utensils on the floor. Then she started a small fire outside and picked up the zap apples she had recollected. She couldn't just sell these  but she had no bits for caramel so she had to make do. She roasted the zap apple and then made cooked grass swirls around it. She made three more apples like that and then the rabbit followed her as she went out to sell them.

She returned with 12 bits smiling. The caramel was 1 bit a pound. Also they had a cheap assortment of junk and almost expired milk at a certain store. She would have enough bits for dinner and to buy the caramel.

Apple bumpkin went to the town library and decided to read about what the rabbit was. As she got close to the town the rabbit turned into a golden retriever. "Wow," apple bumpkin smiled as they walked to town. That will show her stupid back stabbing mother. They reached the library and apple bumpkin began to search. Finally she came up with a book called amorphous and mimickers. On the cover was the same gem the rabbit was. Apple bumpkin read it in fascination and then smiled at the retriever. "Can I call you sphinx?" She asked. Sphinx replied with happy singing nioses. "Okay!" Apple bumpkin smiled closing the book. "Mam?" A voice asked behind her. Apple bumpkin whipped around to see a small pony shaking on the spot. "Yeah?" Apple bumpkin said holding out the end. "Your father is dead."
