.:Secrets Held:. *First attempt at a CS story! Please read!*

[AwesomeFawkes]

Hello, everyone! This is my first attempt at writing a Chicken Smoothie story, so I apologize in advance if it sucks. ;D I hope you like reading it, and help me out sometimes with ideas for the plot and such. I will be using my pets as characters for this, because I've been meaning to do something with them! I probably will continue this story for a while, and if it actually *ends* or something, I might write a sequel. Or at least another story. ;D

Short Summary

Mystic has always been the outcast of her tribe. No one has ever been able to understand her, because she looks and acts so differently from everyone else. Her mother arrived in the tribe, starving and dangerous many years ago, giving birth to Mystic right after her arrival, and promptly died. Needless to say, any wolves who tried to befriend the orphan Mystic failed and have given up trying to be friends since then. But Mystic isn't just different from everyone else, she has a secret. A secret she plans to keep to herself until she dies.

But fate has a different idea.

A strange illness is sweeping through the tribe, and a scourge is threatening the forest they call home. Mystic may not be fond of her tribe, but they are the only family she has. And her secret, a magic gift, could be the only thing that can save the forest. She can't do it alone, though. A stranger with a secret of his own will have to help her. They'll have to work together, even if it goes against everything they ever believed in.

And that might not even be enough.

1 ~Mystic~ 1

Sometimes things happen in life that we don't understand, or can't explain. But somebody, please explain to me why I was sent into this horrendous life! If we were to choose our lives, I would never haven chosen this place, this Godforsaken tribe, as they call it. No, I would be on adventure somewhere, with both my parents. And I would be normal.

No longer an orphan.

No longer different.

No longer alone.

I would fit in, and have a real life. Not one where I run from the tents at dawn before everyone is awake and stay at the river all day, waiting for someone to carry me away from here. Not one where I analyze every smile the Old Ones send at me and deem it fake or only out of pity. Not one where I am by myself now, was by myself when I was young, and will die by myself. No one in this tribe will mate with me. I'm too... different.

And then there's my secret.

Even if I did get one of these dumb buffoons the tribe calls men to marry me, they would eventually see my curse and leave. No one stays after they know of the curse. My father left. My mother left. Even the old Monarch left, after they learned. You know what I mean when I say left. Departed. Are no longer among the living.

My curse kills people.

At least that's what I believe. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's something good I can do with this gift. Maybe I can help the world, make it a better place. Maybe if I met the right person, they could help me fit in.

Hmph. I doubt it.

2 ~Mystic~ 2

A crisp autumn breeze tickled my snout as I ran from the tents. I'm off to the river, the one place where I can be myself and no one will ridicule me. My paws are silent against the fallen leaves on the ground, a bonus to being part of the tribe. They are known for their superior hunting skills, due to blessings given to them hundreds of years ago. Blessings that made them impossibly quiet and impossibly cunning.

That's one thing I can be thankful for. At least I know that no one will follow me. As long as they weren't awake when I left, they have no way of knowing where I went. They can track all but the wolves themselves. A convient loophole, if you ask me. Become part of the tribe for the abilities, and then jet out. You get powers, they can't find you to get rid of them. Perfect.

If only I could do that.

But I have an obligation to the tribe. They raised me when my mother died, and even though their kindness was forced, I must stay with them until I can repay my debt. If only I could find a way how to. There seemed to be nothing I could do. Everything they needed doing they did themselves, and told me to keep my distance. I needed a disaster or something, so I save them and be free.

But that wasn't going to happen anytime soon, most likely, with how happy they all were.

I reached the riverbank and flopped down on the shore, dangling one paw in the water. As I lifted my paw up, a trail of water floated after it, following it's movements fluidly. I laughed in spite of myself, reveling in the rare wonderous parts of my gift.

Control over the elements.

Except I can't control my gifts. As in, they don't always, okay, they usually don't do what I want them to. As if to prove my point, the river water following my hand splashed into my face suddenly, leaving me spluttering.

"Winds and rivers," I muttered to myself, "Was that really necessary?" I could almost hear the water giggling at me. "Well," I grumbled, "I don't find it funny."

The laughter was clear now, and it was coming from behind me. I spun around, to face an orange wolf with green and black markings.

"I found it funny." He grinned cockily.

Before he could react, I was on top of him, with my claws at his throat. "Who are you?" I hissed, "And how did you find me?"

He was still grinning, "I'm Toxic. And I found you by complete and total accident."
