Shadow of the Night

The Purple Mynci known as Hubert nodded with approval and continued with his line of customers. They were the last ones of the day, and then Shadow was free. Even his dark, shadowy fur couldn’t hide the look of agony and hatred that he had for this job, but he didn’t once open his mouth to complain.

"Small Paws, Big Trouble" by kendall_cristi
Altoc’s new Neohome still smelled faintly of fresh paint, a welcome change from the sun-baked dust of Sakhmet. After months of field research, the Royal Cybunny had promised herself a long, quiet break from all the adventure. She was ready for a lazy day curled up in her armchair with a good book. She had barely reached for that book when she heard a tap at the door. Too soft for a knock. Too deliberate to ignore. Altoc frowned. She didn’t know a single Neopet in Neopia Central yet. She opened the door to an empty doorstep. “Hello?” she called out. She started to close the door, but a pink streak darted past her. Altoc jumped back as a muddy little Meepit skidded to a stop in the middle of her floor, shivering. “Oh, you poor thing! Where did you come from?” Altoc asked. The Meepit blinked and raised one tiny paw, which had a scrap of paper tied to it. Altoc knelt down and carefully loosened the string. The note said: Help me. The Cybunny scooped the Meepit into her arms. “Don’t worry, little one,” she whispered. “You’re safe here.” The Meepit wiggled out of her grasp and tugged at the hem of her skirt. “Where are you trying to drag me off to?” Altoc said with a soft laugh. “You just came in out of the cold. Let’s get you cleaned up first.”
