Oh god. Don't even get me started on that name. Who did my mom think I would be? A PRINCESS?
It's not JUST a boy's name, you know. It's simple, tomboyish and I think it clicks when I say it.
I'm sorry, but again, what the heck?? I have insisted that people call me Tommy. Cassie is a GIRLY name. Do I look girly to you?
Please, don't even bother confusing me for a guy. Someone did that once and, boy, did they regret it!
So, I'd bought this AWESOME new skateboard, complete with helmet, green flames, the whole shabang! I went skateboarding and one dude came up to me and was like 'Yo, bro you're a sic skateboarder.' I was so angry I yelled back 'WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME??' He shrunk back. 'Relax, bro. You're a good skateboarder, for sure, dude. I ripped off my helmet (it was itchy) and tossed away my board, throwing myself at him. We crashed down the ramp, me pummeling his belly with my paws. 'Don't. Ever. Call. Me. Bro.' I snarled, running to grab my board and helmet before skating off.
I'm not scared of anything. Really. Don't look at me like that! I'm not scared! I... Yes. I'm scared of wasps. They buzz and bite and call others for reinforcements. Really! I'm not joking! Once, I saw one and squished it in my panic attack. A whole bunch of others came and tried to bite me! They're evil, I tell you. Evil!
I was eating waffles, and my friend+ Mango came over. We decided to have a waffle eating contest. If I lost, I'd have to wear a oink skirt. If I won, he (Yes. I didn't get along well with girls) would have to wear the skirt, too. I ate and ate, he ate and ate, and I had ONE waffle left. I was so full, I felt sick. I looked at the pink skirt, then at the waffle. Pink skirt, waffle, skirt, waffle... And I shoved the waffle in my mouth I swallowed as soon as he did, so we tied. Five minutes later, both of us ran to the bathroom and puked waffles. I will never forget what they looked like, sitting there in the toilet. Ugh. I never ate waffles again.
I had a little dog. Yes. A stuffed animal. I loved it so much. One day, I came upon a group of bigger JBD's as I played with little Mazie. They grabbed her and taunted me with her. 'Give it back!' I cried, jumping up and down. 'Give it back!' They laughed and threw it in the nearby river. I hated water, the cold, slimy feeling so all I could do was watch as Mazie drifted down the river and out of sight. 'Mazieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...'
Well, after the 'Toy Incident' as I now call it, I skulked and cried. I lost friends and became friends with the wrong kind of people. I bullied other little JBD's too. I took my anger, my hatred out on them.
I... I steal it. Every once in a while, I'll visit a jewelry shop and look for a little, tiny piece of silver that catches my eye. I don't want anything big, or flash, just something shiny to hide away under my pillow, for good luck and hope. Being a teenager doesn't mean I'm not looking for hope, you know.
My family used to be rich. Well, we weren't rich, we just had enough money to buy everything neccesary. After losing Mazie, I became the trouble child. I broke things, stole stuff and got into massive trouble. My parents had a hard time paying off all of the fines, but they always managed to scrape up enough money to pay for it. We were fine and we continued to have enough money for food and other fees. Eventually, the tax collector came, to whom everyone owes a price. He took money, claimed we had overdue taxes and took more. We soon grew to expect him and it took everything I had not to kill him every time he demanded more money. Our money lessened, our stuff was sold, and I began to go hungry. I knew mother and father were hungrier, so one day I ran off to an orphanage, and there became my wandering life. I never stayed in an orphanage more than one month and now, here I am. In another orphanage, being interviewed in the hopes that I'll find a new family to take me in. I found later that a tax collector had been fired for taking the taxes for himself. Coincidental, isn't it?
I have a tiny little sliver locket with a family photo of my family and I on a picnic. I'm in the grass, playing with the leaves. It's a good reminder of how life used to be. Here. Look at it.
I was outside in a tent, skulking as usual. My mother had asked me why I was no longer happy and I yelled at her. She sent me to my room, but I went out onto my balcony and climbed down a rope I always kept there to hide in the tent. It was stockpiled with food, drinks and blankets. I climbed inside and grabbed my half-empty bag of Cheetos. I pulled one out and bit down on it, pulling another out. The second one was squishy but I was to upset to care. As the Cheeto made it's slimy way down my throat, I looked at the fur on my paws. It was tinged green, like a -- grasshopper. I'd eaten a grasshopper!! I shrieked and thrased about, trying to spit it out, with no success. I've hated Cheetos and grasshopers since then.
I have a memory of myself, when I was younger, ice skating. It was the most fun I'd ever had and the skating came naturally. The cold wind combed through my fur, the skates slid smoothly across the ice. I felt free, like a bird and graceful, like a dancer. I came back every day, until I lost Mazie. I was too sad to go back. I miss it to this day.
I'd heard about a new trend. It was called 'emo.' All the cool, sad kids like me were supposedly doing it, so I decided to try it. You're probably thinking 'What an irresponsible thing to do!' but I didn't cut myself to get the scars. I was going to another emo's house for some sort of emo congregation when I slipped on the gravel that led to the dragon's house. I slid down the steep hill and crashed into a rose bush, where the thorns easily sliced into the soft fur on my face and left the scars. I decided against being emo after I saw the dragons with scarred arms.
I was born to two dragons I refuse to name on the 29th of January, 1999. I was dead, chest unmoving, cold and silent. My fur was a light grey, not as dark as it is now. The doctors did everything, but I refused to live once more. As the doctors gave up and my mother took to crying, a dragon walked through the door. Well, he wasn't exactly walking, he stormed through, nearly breaking the door of of it's hinges. 'Step back!' He roared, pushing the doctors aside. 'You were born for more than this.' He murmured, in a softer voice as he lifted me up into the air. 'You have a destiny.' With that, he blew fire on me. I felt the heat dancing up my legs, but not it's burn. I awoke with a cry, my fur singed to a darker color. The dragon left, but before he marched through the door, he turned to my parents. 'She has an important destiny to fulfill. Don't try to stop her.'
And so, I grew up like any other dragon until I lost Mazie. I became what I am today, sad, angry, wandering and most importantly, alone. Sometimes I sit down and wonder. Is this the life for me? Is this really the greatness the dragon told be I would become? If so, the dragon and I need to excange a few words. Frankly, I don't call this greatness.
Pain doesn't hurt if it's all you've ever felt.
Dance in the rain,
Sing when you are sad,
And know that if there was no pain,
You could not be glad.
Well, have you heard that song 'Kill Everybody' by Skrillex? I just LOVE it.
Dare simply because I have some secrets that deserve to remain that way, get it?
Yuss, my adorable little cat Patricia.
OK... Here.
Writing poems and stories while playing with Patricia.
No.
Well... When I was born dead, my twin Samantha was born alive. When the strange dragon entered, he blew fire on both of us. My fur darkened, hers lightened, she died and I awoke. She was the exact opposite of me. I had pink eyes, hers were green. I had blue swirls, hers were dark pink. I was light, she was dark.
I composed a poem about it.
Twins were born, one alive, one dead,
One had pink swirls, the other blue swirls on her head,
They swapped places, one breathed one stopped,
In their chests the parent's hearts dropped,
One's cold body became alive anew,
The other took breaths few,
Why did Cassandra chose to wake from the never-ending sleep,
Why did Samantha lay down and leave her parents to weep?
Black. It doesn't burn your eyes like neon yellow. Although, I do like the blue aroung my eyes...
I just LOVE grapefruit. The sweet tang, the beautiful colors, the smell... Don't get me started on that wonderful smell.
Yeah, that's my name.
Yeah, that's what I want people to call me anyway.
No. Just no. Please. No-one ever call me that. And you Fang, I swear I'm going to kill you.
Yeah, but just 'coz I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm girly.
I'll tell 'em. Well, I nearly ripped her head off. "What did you call me?" I screamed, ripping my helmet off. They both were shocked. They said, in unison, "Please, we didn't know. It's hard to tell when you're in a bike outfit. I growled at them and muttered "If that happens again, some one will die."
I'm not scared of anything. Okay maybe one thing. But I won't tell you. NO! NO PUPPY-EYES! Okay fine. I'll tell you. I am petrified of Clowns. They freak me out so much. When I was a baby bean, my mum took me to the circus. As soon as I stepped in there I wanted to come out. I sat and watched the show with-out so much as a squeak. Then, one of the clowns came up to me, smiled a big creepy smile and said, "I'm gonna kill ya girl!" Then pulled out a KNIFE! I ran screaming, my mum following after me - not before he sliced at my snout though. I've been terrified of them since. I just realised it was probably the criminal I saw in the news, showing up at circuses and killing kids. I'm still scared of clowns though. I'm also terrified of crickets, but you'll learn about that soon.
Well, Me and Mango had a pie eating contest, and I won. So he had to wear a skirt. He said the next day, that if I didn't have a waffle eating contest with him, then I would have to wear a shirt that said 'I am a baby'. Well, I wasn't gonna lose to a him. So I agreed and we prepared ourselves. It took two days to train for it, and by then I was sick of waffles. When we started I just smelt the waffles and began to puke. It was horrible. Mango said I don't have to wear the shirt, that he didn't think I would puke like that. I tried to smile but I couldn't, and I puked on his paws. Yeah, he didn't really like that.....
My lovely teddy Beck. Yes, he was my lovely teddy bear who kept the creatures of the dark away when I was little. I used to be scared of the dark, but not any-more. I was at home, curled up around Beck. Mum and dad were selling him, because we were so poor and we needed food. I whimpered and told mum and dad I couldn't sleep without him. And their reply was "Well, without money we'll starve!". I cried into Beck soft fur, not wanting to let go. Mum put her paw on my should and dad silently walked away with the teddy. "Don't know why she is so attached," My dad mumbled "all I know is it is a useless piece of rubbish." I never saw him again, and sometimes I still miss him. (The teddy, not my dad)
Well, mum always loved me, but dad hated me from when I first hatched. Then they had another bean, and I was the past. She was the star, always getting the most affection. I felt alone, with only Beck to keep me company, then not even him. I became rebellious, just to be remembered.
When I was walking through the forest at night, something shiny caught my eye. I ran through a bush to get to it, and saw it was a large diamond. My eyes lit up as I stretched out my paw to push it toward me. I grabbed it and ran back to the house. "Mum!" I shouted "Can I have a silver necklace, and a silver chain?" Mum shouted at me why I thought that would be possible and she came down from the bathroom. She saw the diamond in my paws and gasped. "Yes?" I laughed. She said "Yeah, of course you can! OHMIGOD! I can't wait! Look at all the food we could buy with this. Maybe we could even try Cakes from the bakery, fresh made!" I let out a happy sigh. The money went very quickly, but I would not let dad get his filthy paws on my silver.
When I was a young bean, mum wanted what was best for me, so She got my dad to get a job as a guide JBD. After a few weeks dad couldn't take the blind guy, and actually Dragged the guy into the road. Luckily, he had great hearing and ran. So my dad got sued for trying to kill a blind dude. The lawyers took everything, and we want to the dump to get stuff.
Well, you know I got some silver, so I have a silver chain and a silver band, that I love. I also have an earring in my left ear, that is made of rusted Iron. It also has a tiny chip of the diamond (That no-one knows about) i the centre of it.
"I'm Danielle, as if you would care."
"Judge, I think. Not very fitting if you ask me."
"Most call me Danni. And so should you, if you're fond of your head."
"Oh...god, Cit, don't even!"
"Cit, when we get home and night hits, I'm warning you might not see the next morning."
"Ahem, but a tomboy at heart."
"Shaddup!"
"How did you know all that? D-did you...stalk me at school or something?" -whispers- "Psycho..."
"Hmph."
"Everyone, you mean, everyone else other than me? Dude, I'm fearless."
"Okay! Okay! I have a fear that...um, I'll randomly spontaneously combust and die?...Sigh, that's it. Now just...sigh.
"Woah, this is going way to far. Too up close and personal for me. I'm copping out on this one!"
"No more fairy tale crap."
"Stop, just stop. I'll take it from here."
"Pssh. Anyway, um, one day I was just chillin' with my bud Mango, you know? It was kind of early in the morning so he made breakfast for us. I had never tried Waffles. So of course, he insisted I try some. I watched as he smeared gooey butter all over them and glossed them with drizzly syrup. Actually, they looked okay. I said okay, not great. I helped set out two plates, forks, stuff. For a while I just stared down at them, then Mango started to urge it. I was kinda hungry; I forced myself to eat it. But they were so slimy and soggy...just disgusting! The syrup was flavorless, and the butter was really salty. Mango said I made really weird face. Well whatever, that's not important. What is, is that I held a grudge against Mango for about a month. I though he had pulled out a prank on me. He swore he hadn't...so I...forgave him. Bleh, forgave. And I do not, I repeat, do not! Care how you make them, what you put on them, I will not eat waffles, period. You could say maybe Mango was just a bad cook, but I'm not buying any excuses, I will never, ever eat one of those revolting things again! Ugh, seriously. Even if you paid me, just...oh, god, just thinking about waffles..I think I'm gonna..."
"I had a silver chain necklace, and on the pendant...I'm sorry, it's a sad story-I mean, not this one. But my mom...um, the pendant was tiger's eye with gold dust. My mother had given it to me. One day, I was having a snow ball fight, and I guess it came off. I guess I was wearing it kinda loose. I rummaged through the snow, but it wasn't there. That's one thing I hate about winter...grumble...but I love it otherwise, um."
"Uh, no, it's not. My life, my story, I'll tell it."
"When I was three, my mother died. And I never knew my father, so I was basically alone. I had to fend for myself on the streets, on my own. For a while, anyway, till Cit found me. And that's it."
"I obviously love silver because, sigh, my mother gave me that silver necklace, you know, then she died...the silver necklace was my only memory of her and I god d@mn lost it. Sometimes, I'll add rarely Cit can be nice."
"You did? Oh yeah, 'I forgot'. Heh, no I would never forget, Citru, I was sorta joking. Half-joking...because...well, heh, never mind. And by the way, thanks."
Don't be stupid, I suppose that's just normal for you, though. I mean thanks for picking me up off the street and giving me that silver, duh."
"Did you just! No, I'm not loyal, or thankful either, so don't even think that for a second."
"Did you just realize that you were lazy...?"
"A peridot stud in my nose, and some silver jewelry from Citru. It's not quite the same as the necklace my mother gave me, though. D@mn I wish I still had that thing. Excuse my french."
-mimicking voice- "Sorry, like, now."
"Not a long story, short and simple, my mom died because of one. It was carrying some disease."
"I just love doing all the talking! Just so you know, that was sarcasm. My jaw hurts from blabbering."
"Uh, wow! Suddenly my jaw feels better. Wanna, change the topic?!"
"I have told you, idiot! Short term memory, much? But I'll tell you again, I guess. When I still lived out in the allies-"
"Yeah, everybody knows that already! How many times have you said it, and how many times have you interrupted me! Just let me speak!"
"Ugh...ignore her. I was still in the alleys when one night, I woke to a bleeding muzzle, one fresh scar, and red eyes right outside of the box which I lived in. A huge dog. We got in a fight, which, of course I won, earning two extra scars. I do kinda like to show them off. Man, you shoulda seen it when he ran off tail between his legs. It was awesome! And I got a reward, some marks to prove my victory. I don't consider them ugly."
"Grr, I told you everything already, at least I thought so. If there's crap I left out, then maybe that just means it's none of your business. Don't stick your nose in places it doesn't belong, mom always told me. Mom..."
