When I had woke up, Alyssa had already left with the woman near the middle of the forest. I was just sitting, watching Adam work. It was kinda fun. He even let me feed some of the animals. (He told me not to use any of the fruit from the tree which was in the middle of the garden. However, maybe instead of focusing on that I should see if Alyssa's okay, see she just got legs yesterday. I'm sure she'll be fine. I mean, she's Alyssa after all. Anyway...........)
"So Adam." I began to ask him. "Why can't we get any of the fruit from tree in the middle of the garden?"
"It was what God told me." He replied. "And whatever God tell us, we do." Then he went back to feeding the animals. (I wonder if Alyssa knew that we aren't supposed to get anything from that tree. I'm sure she knows! 🙂)

I went out early in the morning with the woman to get some fruits for us to eat. Well... Really for me to eat cause I was hungry. (I hope that's what this feeling is called.) Yeah, every fruit I picked I ended up eating. (I couldn't help myself!🤷) Thankfully, I had quickly managed to get use to walking around from place to place, so I wasn't that weird. (Okay maybe I still a bit weird, but hey! I literally just got these legs yesterday. Babies need time to learn how to walk you know. Not that I'm a baby, I just need to get to this human stuff.) I was walking around, picking fruits off of the trees. I was about to stop picking fruit from a nearby tree when the woman stopped me.
"We're not allowed to eat from that tree." The woman explained walking nearby it.
"Why's that?" I asked. "It looks just like any other tree in the garden. Is there something wrong with it?"
"God commanded us not to eat from that tree." She replied. "And whatever God command of us, we obey. Why don't you picked some more fruit from the trees over there?" She was pointing to the trees a few yards from where we stood.
"Okay." I replied walking away. I was only one yard away when something off happened. The woman stood near the edge of the tree when a snake came from out of the tree and approached her.
"Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" The serpent asked her. (Last time I checked, animals don't talk. At least not like humans.) I went and hid behind a tree.
"We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden," She replied. "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."
"Ye shall not surely die." The serpent replied. "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
I keep watching as she grabbed one of the fruits from the tree and stared hard at it. Then she took a bite and then look down at herself. Then I ran to tell Calista.
Calista's POV361Please respect copyright.PENANANys78uJMcU
I was sitting underneath one of the tree for shade, when I saw something coming towards us. When it came close enough, I realized that it was the woman and Alyssa was quickly following behind her. The woman was carrying a fruit that look someone bit into it. The woman ran up to her husband and offered the fruit to him and he took a bite. Then they went away.
"Alyssa," I began when she came. "What's going on?"
"Pant..... Pant....... Pant....... Let's just say. "She began after she had regained her energy. "It's really bad." She then took me by the arm and dragged me into a bush with her.
"Alyssa." I mumbled. "Could you please tell me what is going on?!?"
"SH!" Alyssa exclaimed pinning my mouth with her hand. "Um... Calista, look." Then turned around and I was in shock.
"I heard thy voice in the garden," Adam began. "And I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
"Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou should not eat?"
(Adam appeared to be talking with someone but, the person who he was talking to look different from him and the woman, almost as if it wasn't human. Wait. Could it be?)361Please respect copyright.PENANA6bwkEkpq55
Alyssa must have seen the shock on my face cause she nodded. As if she was agreeing with my thoughts. (To be honest, she was pretty calm spite of all that happened.)
"The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." Adam responded. Then the being turned to the woman. 361Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Q37HjDAn
"What is this that thou hast done?"361Please respect copyright.PENANA7gZa2hALW1
"The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." The woman replied. (There was a small snake slithering away from where they were communicating.)
"Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Then the being turned to the woman. 361Please respect copyright.PENANAQoMxN0m962
"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Then the being turned to Adam.
"Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 361Please respect copyright.PENANAuDdeHamUqj
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
Genesis 3:20-24361Please respect copyright.PENANAUV3e9sIibi
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
