"Welcome to Super Grocer, how can I help?" Anna said with a smile. It
has been two weeks now that Anna is working at the supermarket and she
was surprised at herself for picking up the ropes so easily. Dianne was a
very good teacher, she thought, and also very straight forward. She was
harsh when she needed to be and lenient when she wants to be. Dianne

"Gosh,
Ann ya don't need to beam at them that much," Dianne said by teasing
Anna. Anna smiled at her the same way she did to the customer and said,
"Hey D! How's this?" She started gleaming and Dianne rolls her eyes,
"Whatever,"
she smiled and walked off towards the storage room. The closeness that
both the girls shared in the last two weeks was surprising to Anna. She
didn't realise that they were going to get attached.
Near the end of her shift, Anna went to over to the storage room to sort out a few things,
"D!
I'll be in the storage room if you need me!" She yelled over to Dianne
who gave a little wave as she was busy calculating at the front desk.
Anna felt really happy today, nothing new happened but everything was
simple and calm, there was no harassing customers, no crisis in the shop
and with the other staff, a really normal day. Until Anna heard a
little rustling sound near the corner where the mustard, jam and other
jars were stored. Anna walked towards the corner out of curiousity.
Another rustling noise. Anna flinched a little but moved towards the
source of the noise. There was a small cream coloured cloth on the floor
that was moving around a lot. Anna hesitated a little before removing
the cloth. There before her was a small curled up ball, of what looks to
be an animal. It started to uncurl itself and looked up at Anna with
its big bright blue eyes. Anna gasped in surprise and took a step back.
The animals fur was so bright and golden that it looked very delicate.
Anna saw the little animal look up at her it was so adorable and slowly
started walking towards her. Anna softened at the look of it and said,
"What are you?" In an astonished and amazed way.
"I'm
your griffin," surprisingly the animal responded. Anna was startled as
she wasn't expecting an answer...from an animal at least.
"You can
talk?!" Anna couldn't hide her surprise from her voice any longer. The
griffin looked up at her and nodded it's head. "Wait, hold on a minute,"
Anna said after gathering her thoughts of the amazed creature in front
of her, "what do you mean by MY griffin?"
