~What she keeps in her pouch~ A Small White Stuffed RabbitGenevieve wrote:My stuffed bunny is a boy, and his name is Oliver. Sweetypie made him for me, and I have never let him out of my sight. He's always in my pouch, but I like to keep his head and front paws sticking out, I like him to be able to breathe. Ollie comes with me everywhere, to the park, to other beans' houses, and every night to sleep.
~Favourite toy or object~A Small Silver Locket, Shaped Like a heart.Genevieve wrote:Yep, my mother gave it to me. In it, there are two things I keep near and dear to my heart. She placed both of these objects in the necklace, and I was not able to figure out how to open it before she was gone. On one side is a small piece of my mother's fur, still blue and silver with it's shimmering beauty. On the other, a key. It's beautiful, with intricate swirls etched into the head and blade. She never told me about it, and I had never seen it before then. I went on an incredible journe to search for the lock that it fit, and that's where my story begins.
~Biggest Adventure Ever~The Key of Hearts
Genevieve wrote:I sat silently, examining the intricate carvings that lay within the beautiful key's head and blade. I gently ran my paw across it, feeling every tiny little detail it held. On the head was the letter "S", probably standing for my mother's name, Serena. I opened my locket, and delicately replaced the key, feeling it slide effortlessly into it's place. I slid the chain of my locket over my head and stood, examining the snow that was drifting slowly from the heavens, landing on my cold fur and sticking. I shook the loose snow from my fur and began to walk. I may not ha known where I was going, or what I was going to do, but make no mistake; I knew I had to find the lock.
I waded through thick drifts, slowly dragging my paws on the solid surface. I headed for the place that I knew there had to be many locks; the place where the humans lived. I trudged on, eager to see this magical place I had only ever heard described. My mother use to leave sometimes, for weeks at a time, and she would tell me that she was going to where the humans were, but she said that she always remained unseen, and didn't ever contact one. It seemed suspicious, going to the incredible place, but never once encountering one of those incredible creatures.
The day was beginning to set into dusk, and I suddenly saw the twinkling lights on the horizon, they sat above the evergreen forest, and barely out of reach; they seemed to be just over a distant hill. I hopped along excitedly, eager to see the brilliant little town and all the beautiful lights up close. I looked down and saw that my locket was glittering, the light refracting off the curved surface in a wild light show, nothing like a thing I had ever seen. I simply smiled and picked up my pace.
Twilight was upon me, and I saw the lights if the down begin to dwindle as the humans began to slowly drift into their slumbers. I began to run, knowing that darkness would soon set in; I did not want to meet what lurked in the darkness. I was now at the base of the large hill, and just realizing that it's surface was pure ice. I fully extended my claws and dug them into the ice, feeling the ground crack and shiver. The long fur on the end of my tail began to stick to the ground, and I jerked it loose, holding it high in the air to avoid it freezing to the ice again.
In about 15 minutes, I was nearly at the peak; it felt like I had climbed a mountain, my paws ached and my face was numb. I let a spurt of flame slip from between my lips, and the frost coating on my face was quickly melted. I ran to the top and looked across the horizon. The last lights of the town were twinkling out, but I could still see the beautiful scene that lay before me. small buildings were scattered about the area, and I could see every little detail as if it was in broad daylight. I raced down the opposite face of the hill, eager to see the town's beauty up close.
I approached with caution, unable to accurately guess how the humans would react to my arrival. I slunk through the edge of trees that surrounded the town, checking to make sure that no humans were around. I spotted a dark alley in between two houses, and I quickly slipped through, strait onto the small dirt street. It was completely silent, it was as if everyone had held their breath at once. I realized that I didn't have long until dawn, and began to dash from door to door, inspecting the locks set in or above the doorknobs. This was going to take awhile.
I tucked Ollie back into my pouch; he was starting to fall out from all the running. The sun was just beginning to break the surface of the horizon when I came upon a door with a lock eerily similar to my key. It was the same silvery material, and had intricate carvings swirling around on it's face. I opened my locket and turned it over, letting the key fall into my paw. I snapped it shut and lifted the key to the lock, turning it so the blade pointed towards the key hole. I slowly slid it in, and I felt the key glide effortlessly and click. I turned the key and I felt the lock shift, and the door slowly swung open.
I peered inside, but couldn't see anything in the darkness. I couldn't believe I had found it, I hadn't even gone to that many houses. I heard a voice, and quickly dove under what looked like a coffee table. "Elizabeth, is that you?" It was a girl, probably around 15 or 16. I saw her flick the light switch, and I quickly shrunk back, trying to stay out of her vision. She shivered and walked towards the door, reaching to close it. She saw the key, and pulled it out of the door. "Serena, is that you?"
I took a shagged breath. Why had she said my mother's name? I crawled out from under the table, anxiously looking up at the girl. She gave me a curious look, but then sat on the floor, holding out her hand. I approached cautiously, not knowing what she would do. I got about a foot away from her and stopped, not wanting to get to close. She began to reach towards me, and I shut my eyes. She grabbed my locket, and I let out a cry of objection. She pulled it off me, and a swiped for it with my paw. "I'll give it back, it's okay."
She reassured me, but I still didn't trust her. She opened it, and covered her mouth with her hand. I heard a sob slip between her fingers, and I placed a hand on her hand that was holding the locket, that had now dropped to the floor. "Your mother, Serena, was my dragon, and this was her locket, I gave it to her." I lay on my ground, staring at my paws, but seeing nothing. "I think she wanted me to protect you." I looked up, and upon seeing her face, the look of sincerity there, I crawled into her lap and curled up, feeling her gently lay her hand on my back. "You can stay with me forever, I never want to lose you."
