Two centuries have passed sense the ancient amulet was burried.. It was 10 o'clock PM,and a small blue Xweetok was wondering in the desert nights. She was walking,until she stepped in what seemed to be softer dirt than the rest..like it has already been dug out before long ago. "I wonder what could be down here..." She told herself,then started to dig. It seemed like a few hours. She was about to give up,until she spotted half the amulet. "Hey..I wonder what that is.." Tali picked it up. As she did..it tied itself around her neck itself. "What the.." She said out loud,then felt herself changing,and a grey marking like the amulet appeared on her right leg. The amulet was now apart of her....
Tali thought it was nothing...for she was only a 6 month old kit at this time,just barely old enough to wonder less than a mile off from her den. 5 minutes 'till midnight.... it said on the watch-like amulet. When Tali returned to her den,she quickly ran up to her mother. "Hey mom,look what I found!" Tali's mother just smiled at her. "Very nice..but...why is is flashing red?" Tali looked down and noticed her amulet flashing a red color. Before she could speak,she faded away,then returned about 2 seconds later,looking much different. A light grey with large 5 inch claws on her front paws. Her eye's where now a blood red color,with a darker reddish slit.
Tali went to attack her mother,but instead she didn't. She quickly took off out of the den,and never returned. It was to dangerous for her to be there...When dawn cracked,Tali's paralell self started to fade away off of her,leaving the regular Tali lost in the middle of the deserted wastelands.
How did I get here..." Tali wondered to herself,and looked around the swamp. She was still very young at the time. "Mom?" She shouted out loud. Where is everyone..where am I.. Tali could hear faint gusts of air in the distance.It was getting colder,and the winds grew bigger. The small Xweetok only ignored it and continued...At this rate..There was No way of her finding her way out of this swamp anytime soon.
Almost 18 years later... Tali was now almost 19 years old. She had adapted well to her enviornment. She could live alone,without worrying about murduring someone in the depths of night. Until that is,on one very cool night,while Tali was sleeping in the tops of a tree,she sensed a disturbance in the air...
Right under her tree,3 snoopy Mutant Xweetoks were of course,snooping around in HER swamp. Tali woke up,and saw them. She took a glance at her amulet,which read quarter till 12. "Perfect.." she murmured slyly,knowing what would happen in the next 15 minutes.(She figured this out when she was 12.) The Xweetoks seemed to stay still under her tree. It seemed like about 12 minutes before one,finally spoke up. "Hey boss..is someone here? I mean..what are we doing here if no body is around??" The boss of this group,glared a him. "There IS someone here. I can sense it..
It'?" Tali was slightly annoyed. Her amulet started to slightly blink a dim light red mixed with grey. "Now's my chance.." She smirked a little,feeling evil filling every part of her every second. The Xweetok jumped down infront of the 3 mutant Xweetoks. "Ahh,came out from hiding,huh?" The boss laughed. Tali's eye's glew red,and a small slit appeared like a cat's eye. "You better leave now.." she hissed darkly. "Aha. And why should we?" One of them said,the ugliest of the three. Tali's amulet was now blood red. She faded away into the air. "And she leaves-" But before he could finish,Tali appeared back..but different colored. "Who are you?" The ugliest one asked. "I'm your worse nightmare..." Tali's red glowing eye's had a tint of death in them. She started walking closer and closer to them.
Uuuh boss. Should we leave now?" They all looked terrified. The boss didn't answer. "Boss?" The ugly one asked again,and glanced towards his direction. The boss was laying there flat on the gorund in a wierd manner. Tali jumped infront of the other two. The boss's blood was smeared all over her teeth, and claws. "I'd suggest you leave now.." she said darkly. The two mutants did not answer,they just ran off. Tali glanced back at the dead mutated Xweetok,and only snickered.She walked off for the rest of the night.
A few hours later,at around 8 o'clock,Tali's paralell self faded away. She sighed,"Atleast that time it happened when I needed my paralell self.." Muttering slightly,though,feeling a bit bad. She didn't like killing anyone,even if they WHERE jerks like those 3 mutant Xweetoks. Tali blinked twice,to shake last night out of her memory,and walked on,maybe to dicovery a new part of her swamp. That didn't work out to well,however. There was no where to explore.
The Xweetok stopped in her tracks. She remembered about her den..all this time she had forgotten. She walked a mile to find the exit of the swamp. There it was,Tali walked through,entering a gloomy,grassy meadow,(what used to be a desert)a few miles away from her home from when she was a kit. "My parents can't be here.." she muttered,small hope lingered in her eye. But it wouldn't hurt to explore her home from before. She soon spotted a collasped den. It must of been hers. Tali walked over to it,just to find dirt.
Sighing,she turned back. As she trotted back to her swamp,Tali felt a cold substance land on her back. Then she saw a swift,white cold flake drift,and land in the green grass. Winter was approaching. The worse seasonin the year. This season,was quite deadly to Tali. She can't stay in the cold 32 degrees or under for a long time. She could die.She WOULD die.Tali fleed to the warmth of her swamp.
Stupid snow.." she murmured,then,finally set food on grass. Wait..I don't remember ever being here.. Tali stammered,and glanced back. "No sense on turning back..." The small Xweetok glaced to her left,and saw a small road. It had no warning sign,or anything. She could see a big,round sun on the other side of the road.
A few hours passed,it was a long trail. Finally,she entered to what seemed to be,a gate. There was no guards or anything. Tali sat a paw on the gate. A large Creeeeeeeeek noise appeared. It opened a slit,so the gate door wasn't locked. She walked in. A draik walked up to her. "Who are you?" He glanced at her amulet,then quickly back up to her. She didn't answer,figuring out what the draik was thinking. He was a theif. She quickly ran off.
The Draik called back,but,Tali ignored him. Another Xweetok,who seemed to be wearing an armor coat. He was being praised,it seemed,by other female Xweetoks. Tali ignored him. He didn't look so 'mighty',if that's what they thought.
Hold on,unwelcomed guest." a dark cat-like figure appeared. "Who are you?" He demanded. Tali looked back, "Uhh..maybe I should leave?" The,what seemed to be,Wocky replied. "No. You're not leaving." Tali looked releived,she didn't want to go back into the snow and get lost again. "You're going to be executed." She shot a look of fear at him. "W..what time is it?" Her heart raced. "My,I didn't see...it's almost 11." Tali sighed. "Darn...." she murmured slightly. The Wocky perked up his ears. "What was that?" He asked. "Nothing." Tali was thinking about turning around to zip off,but,before she knew it,the Wocky had tied her paws together with rusted chains.
It took almost a half an hour just to reach the dungeon. When they entered, Tali noticed alot of old skeletens that seemed ancient. It was all dusty,and dried up, this kingdom's dungeon was not a place you'd want to stay. Tali was thrown into a cage,next to an old Lupe who seemed to be wearing away slowly. The Wocky left. "Ha ha,enjoy your stay." He smirked,then left with the key. The old lupe glanced back to Tali. "Ahh..." he said,his voice was quiet and whispery. "It's been a long time sense someone was thrown into here..." He murmured slightly,then shifted his way over to the other side. Tali didn't answer him,she just glanced at her amulet. Luckily,they didn't take it.It read 11:42. "Just 18 more minutes.." she mumbled. "That Wocky doesn't know what danger he is in now.
Tali waited about 15 minutes,just sitting there. Her amulet started to slightly glow a pinkish color. That old Lupe was sleeping. He was all dusty,and boney. She cringed at the thought of it. 2 minutes passed. Her amulet grew a dark red color, she oculd feel her dark side comming in. It was now 12:00 Midnight. Tali's amulet was a dark,crimsin color. Her eyes where dark and catlike now. She used her 5 inch claws to slash the cage open.
Tali made her way to where she found the Wocky, sleeping. Like a devil. He shook his head when he heard approaching. Then woke up. Alls he could see was bright red glowing eyes in the gloom of the night. He shrieked loudly,loud enough to wake the whole city. A few seconds later,his cry died stopped. Tali grinned evily,and then ran out of the kingdom,leaving bloody paw prints behind.
She ran out into the snow. Tali wasn't bothered by it. The blood from her paws soon faded off,as she padded her way in the snow. a few hours passed,and she finally found her swamp again. "Foolish to even leave this place.." Tali muttered darkly to herself,and ran off into her tree to spend the rest of the night. Not in a dark dungeon,not in the cold of snow,in her own tree.

Tali's Paralell Self
![]()
Twelve o'clock midnight...
When Tali's amulet flashes red,she turns into her opposite self. Which is mean,and cruel,and strong.
She is also amune to cold,unlike her normal self. Tali is NOT a demon,however.Also,if Tali gets angry enough,she'll automaticly change into her paralell self. Though if it is before 12 o'clock,she is able to SLIGHTLY control herself.Tali can also sense what she does in this form,she may not be able to control herself,but,she knows what's going on. yes,and her paralell self has 5 inch claws,used as weapons.

This is my power scource,and even my life.
If I do loose it,I can sometimes sense when it gets closer to me.
If my amulet is stolen,or lost..my power drains..
and I am in great danger..
If it is broken...I am dead.
Love

Thorn is the best thing that has ever happened to me..without him,I may as well be dead right now.
He tries his best to keep me under control when I'm in my paralell form.He's very nice towards me,
and I know,I can trust him.I love Thorn more than anyone in the world..
I couldn't love anyone more.
Friends

Namisua...she's really nice. I really like her,she's a good and
trusting friend. I'm still a little shy to tell her the truth about my past.
I don't want her to know I have an evil side..Not yet.
Fanart!
