You are walking a long, winding path in a dark forest. At around 11 PM, where the soft echoes of a Whoot and the pitter patter of a stray Lupe are the only sounds you hear. Even the slightest noise makes you jump a little bit. The full moon casts a peaceful, silver glow on you, as you wander deeper and deeper into the forest. You look down for a second to see if you were still on the dirt path. Looking up again you see a small clearing ahead of you. You make you way through the forest to the clearing. Walking into the knee-high grass of the clearing, you see a small ixi with green fur and mismatched eyes singing a slow, sad, song and spinning in wide circles, the pale moon as her only light. You stop to watch her. You become almost completely absorbed in her song. And you almost spinning yourself. When suddenly her eyes meet yours. She stops singing, and stops mid-turn. Her face looking almost scared, she drops down to her four paws and runs to you. Standing back on two paws, her eyes level with yours, she exclaims, with an edge of fear in her small voice:

AHH! How long were you there?!?

guest: I think it was long enough... My name is guest, What were you singing?

Oh... It was a song my mother used to sing to me. My name is thekaitlynator... Kat for short...

My Story
-----


You walk along with the small Ixi. Casually catching glances at her blood-red, and ultraviolet eyes.

guest: So, how did you end up in this clearing... Are there anymore to your family?

Kat: Well, it's a rather sob-story. I'm sure it would bore you to tears...

guest: No go on. Why are you the only one living here?

Kat: Well...

When I was just a fawn my parents left me. I think it might have been because I was different. All my brothers and sisters, there was seven of us in all, were beautiful, with feathery wings, striped fur, or shining, rainbow palettes... I guess I was a disgrace, for I had horns, mis-matched eyes, and I can stand of two hoofs, and I don't think my brothers and my sisters accepted that. I was also the oldest, and I think my mother wanted my to watch over the younger ones, but I'd always go off and do my own thing.

Since I was a tiny fawn, I have always had a different sleep schedule than everyone else, I would spend my entire night watching the moon, Or going to chase small animals; while everyone else was asleep. Evidently, I also slept later in the morning. This is the way it had been for years. One fateful morning, I woke up, and everyone was gone, their hoof prints in the moss still fresh, all eight sets. A set for each my mother, father, and my six sibilings. I had wonder for hours why the had all left at the same time.

Mother had always told me never to leave the clearing, without someone else to accompany me, so I stayed there for days, living on the berries near the clearing. And every day I'd wait for mother and father to come back, But they never did. One day, I braved leaving the clearing, partly because there were no edible berries left. I was only looking for food for an hour of two, when I come back to my home to see a note on the ground, by where I had always slept. It read:

Dear Kat,
We hope you are doing alright. We only ment to leave the clearing for a few days, to see if we could find another place for food. But your brothers and sisters have refused to move back. They found a place where they can be by the humans. I know you told us you never wanted to be by humans. I hope that would change, but your old enough to be on your own. The other children have found their own homes. Your father and I are living together, just the two of us. We hope you are doing ok too.

Much love,
--Mom, Dad, and the rest of us.

Atop my note appeared a tiny rubber duck. I guess Mother had noticed my fondness of ducklings when I was a fawn. There was a single marking on her, a purple stripe by her eyes, the exact same shade as my eye. And as time when by, more markings continued to appear, blood red, and ultra violet. My family might have left me, but I know they didn't forget me...

Shortly after I got the tiny rubber duck, I named her Kalina. Living in the clearing, only leaving to hunt and play, I noticed a girl who came to visit the forest often. with her she had a two poogles. I was cautious of her at first, but as time went on, I became bolder. One day I ran up to her, and introduced myself. She said her name was Beth, said that the one poogle was named vixenicefox, Foxy for short; and the other was frozenkittens, or Kit. In an area away from my clearing, she set up a small house-like structure, with cloth hanging from trees, and wooden poles keeping a crawl-in entrance open. "I'd love to adopt you, but you seem like you belong to this forest. It'd be wrong of me to take you away from the clearing." Beth said to me with a smile. A smile which I returned almost immediately. I found my new family right then.

The Family

This is Beth, the girl who 'adopted' me. She has brown hair, with blonde at the bottom inch. She still sleeps with a grey teddy bear. (sshhh. don't tell.) And her current goal in life is to completely cover her room with pictures, posters, anything really. She's rather weird, but I keep her around, because we discuss the importnace of 'Duckies' on our neopia today. :] She is a really outgoing person, and loves to draw and chase butterflies.


This is Kit, she's our "Lab rat" as mom calls her. She is never the same when she comes to the clearing at night. Sometimes she's stronger, sometimes weaker. And even sometimes a different color or even a different species! Isn't that amazing?!? I feel really bad when she changes gender though. The poor girl... But her personality NEVER changes, and we love her for that. Shortly after I met her, we became known as Kit & Kat to mom, and to this day she STILL finds that really funny. And yet, i still don't get it.


Well, I drew missie as a Faerie Pteri. She has always dreamed of being one. Mom found her when she was searching for food with kit. Missie was slightly hurt, but still ok. She had been trying to fly, and crashed. So mom took her to our clearing, and kind of... adopted her, as she did me. She is a very graceful buzz, and very calm and collected. She may look scary now, especially to those who dislike buzzes. I just KNOW she's a faerie Pteri on the inside, and mom's saving up for her paint brush.


This is my older sister Foxy, she's my hero. Mom said she is very special to her because she was named after one of her old best friends. Foxy also takes care of Hikaru. She's a really kind friend, and she almost understands what i've been through. Foxy takes care of Hikaru becuse she really has a thing for petpets, I don't know why, it's just who she it is. She loves playing with them, taking care of them... Anything. She has her Trycycle. ((Her Quadrapus)) He lives in a small pond by the clearing.


This is Hikaru, Mom gave her to me After an "Avatar", as she calls it, came out for it... I still have her, partly because she's grown on me. When I first got her, she scared me. She absolutly LOVES Foxy though. Why did I once dislike her, you ask? I actually don't know. But now, I love how I can hear her mumbling words like 'meepit' and 'world domination' under her breath. It's quite funny. I'm sure she means no harm. I mean, what harm can a cute little Mazzew do?

Kalina

(Kay-lee-ah)
Kalina, I have decided to call my rubber duck. She is really intresting. I think she can speak to me, in a way. She hasn't exactly come out and said 'hey, howya doing?. But I feel something different when I look at her. I can sort of feel, how she is feeling. I am aware she is a rubber duck, but i feel as if she has a story to tell also. I'm just waiting for the day I can comprehend it. The day after mom gave her to me, after I woke up. And to my deep suprise, she had grown many swirls, spots, and stripes, she's really pretty now :)
