Hello

I go by the name of Zlxyna, and I haunt a section of forest near the land of Meridell. I can be quite the polite hostess as you travel through this land. I can also be your worst nightmare. Treat my home with respect or perish with your rude behavior. I am attached to the land with the memories of acts I can never forget. Although, I wouldn't let that stop me from hunting down those who do not listen to my warnings. I can never completely die and I can never completely live. Hopefully you shall listen to my warnings.

Story

I don't really like to talk about what happened but if you really want to know I guess I'll tell you...

When I was very young, I was taken from my mother. All I can remember about her was her beautiful night sky fur, bright yellow stars scattered across her chest and face. I was one of only two in the litter. My brother was also taken, but I have no idea where. I was a simple blue lupe... I never new why I was picked for testing, or how they found us in our cozy den.

To reach my destination, it took a couple days. The cage I was contained in was hard and metal, with no warmth or loving notions to be seen. To think that they would put such a young pup through something like that gives me chills to this day.

The van came to a abrupt halt, making me slide and hit the harsh metallic side of my cage. I yelped in pain, but no one cared. They loaded me out and through the slats I could see a dense forest, and about 100 feet away, a giant, dark green building. I found out later the color disguised the place from aerial view.

The scientists had observed me for a full 24 hours before anything began. Simple tests at first; showing my endurance and health. Once they determined I was a decent subject, the real testing began. They started out painless, but they didn't stay that way. Huge needles filled with toxic looking substances were injected into my legs and back. I often attempted to talk to the scientists studying me even though they never said anything back. I craved company, any sort of words to explain why I was there. About a year later they brought in another female lupe. Her coat was thick and black. Blacker than the darkest shadow. I quickly befriended her; I needed someone. She said she was taken directly from birth, so she did not have a name. She became simply, Shadow. Her cage was located right next to mine.

After some months, I determined that they were collecting every kind of neopet with all different colors. Another lupe was brought in, a male ghost. Transparent in his confinement, we thought at first that it was just an empty cage. His cage was made of a special material, so that he couldn't just phase through it though. Placed on the other side of me, I was so happy to have another friend, but he was quite vicious to us at first. He eventually became our friend, even though he was a little irritable. His name was cleverly, Ghost. Although I was happy to have another friend, his eyes always haunted me. Their blood red glow showed up in my nightmares. We spent our days enjoying each other's company, thankful that we didn't have to go through this alone. Me and Shadow would sit there for hours listening to Ghost's stories about when he was alive. He died as a young adult, he had a mate and had kids on the way. He had known things and been through experiences that we had be deprived of. I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have them.

The day it happened was just like every other day… except, we were all taken out of our cages. The usual was that we would be taken one at a time. They put me into a chamber I had never seen before and gave me some shot that put me to sleep. My world blacked out faster than I expected and I felt my body hit the hard surface of the operating table.

When I first woke up, I was in excruciating pain. My body felt like it didn't belong to me anymore as it thrashed on the ground wildly. Eventually, after some time, I regained control again. I stood up slowly, still not sure about my control, and looked at my reflection in one of the observing windows. Shocked would be an understatement. I was the pale blue, almost transparent. In fact, I was transparent. Then I noticed the only thing that set me apart from a regular ghost. I had strange black rings on the fur on my neck, legs, and tail. I knew they couldn't have killed me because of these rings of black fur. I continued to stand in awe at my reflection until the scientists apprehended me, sending me back to my cage.

I couldn't wait to see my friends again, so I could ask Ghost to show me how to use my newly acquired abilities. I wondered what Shadow would think of my weird new look. When I finally arrived at my cage I saw that it was newly modified, so I couldn't escape. The scientists left silently, like usual.

Shadow glanced over at me. Something in her stare was wrong. It looked half like she didn't recognize me and half like she was scared of me. I asked her what was wrong and she looked at me strangely. Ghost told me to shut up bitterly, while Shadow gave me a sad look. Sadness overwhelmed me. How could my best friends act like this? Then Shadow turned to me and said that I sounded like an old friend. I gave a confused look, and she said they hadn't seen this "old friend" in about four months. Their actions suddenly made sense.

No wonder they looked sad. I told them it was me, Zlxyna. They could hardly believe their eyes. We spent the whole day discussing what the scientists could of done to me to get this end result. The next morning I asked a scientist, not expecting an answer, but figuring it wouldn't hurt. To my surprise he said "DNA experiment" and walked away. I looked to both of my companions, and knew their DNA was used.

A couple days later, they took me to a big room, painted black, with windows stretching across one of the walls. Every day after they brought me to the same place. Occasionally, they would put things in the room with me to see how I would react or what I would do. I tried to show as little of my ghost abilities as I could, staying solid and just laying there. I couldn't let them use this experiment to mass produce half dead half alive beings. Who knows what they would have been used for.

One day, the careful scientists made a horrible mistake. That day a zafara escaped from its cage. The zafara was said to have contained a horrible, contagious disease that would have meant the end of the facility if not captured immediately. All the scientists rushed to capture it, forgetting to secure the door on the way out of my chamber with the special ghost-proof material. Waiting for a little, to make sure everyone was occupied, I went transparent and slipped out through the door. I went unnoticed because I learned that I could become invisible from Ghost's lessons, even making the black fur disappear. I found my friends and I was able to free them.

Together we ran through the halls. As we were just in sight of the front door, we saw a zafara cross our paths. My heart sunk. We turned around and dashed into the nearest room as we heard the people rushing after the poor neopet. Ghost stayed at the door, acting as a lookout, while me and Shadow observed the room. Expanding across the whole back wall was a huge tank of green-tinted water. Mutated peophins, flotsams, and jetsams swam in the dirty water. Five and six eyes were crowded into the face of some of them, extra fins and tails were on almost all of them, devilishly huge teeth gapping through mouths appeared on a good number of the jetsams. We looked in horror and pity at these poor creatures that could never know freedom. Ghost called for us and we made the final dash out of the building. My eyes started to tear up as we reached the edge of the clearing. I don't know why, but the others noticed and looked at me surprised. I turned and saw them disappearing into the eerie forest. I glanced back one last time, and ran full force into the dark….

We traveled together, across the terrain. Not having a home or family to go back to, we never stopped. We tried to avoid the cities. The first time we went through one was the last. People ran and screamed the second they saw me or ghost. Apparently, people do not like odd things. We had tons of police lupes and gelerts on our tails as we were chased from the city, having been marked as dangerous and unknown.

On a particularly rain day, we ran into another lupe named Keff. His fur was bright red with white flecks on his chest. Shadow instantly fell in love, and we decided to settle down in that area so Shadow and Keff could be together. I had no idea what would happen next.

One night, as me and Ghost were out for a walk, we heard a terrifying scream that sounded like it came from Shadow. We rushed back, not bothering to run around the trees, but instead just floating through them. When we got back, Shadow laid in a pool of deep red blood. Her back had gaping slashes and her eyes where opened in a shocked, yet distant, look. Next to her body sat Keff, looking accomplished as he licked her blood from his huge fangs. It was then that we realized that he was not a regular dog, he was a vampire. With one last look, he fled into the woods. Ghost hurried after him, and I tried to follow. When I finally caught up, Ghost was nowhere to be found, and Keff was just sitting in the middle of a clearing. I turned transparent and ran. I don't know how, but he did something to Ghost.

I returned to the forest, where my friend's lives were ended, a week later. Keff had obviously moved on, so I stayed. I have haunted this part of the forest since then, training, getting stronger, and waiting for Keff to come back. Maybe one day I can finally have my revenge.

As you can see, I have the right not to trust strangers. The mistake I made with Keff is a mistake I will never make again.
