New Name: Wildre
Personality/Bio:: (If two or more people apply for the same Caxical, this also contributes to who gets it, as does posting order)
My name is Wildre. I was born a wild Caxical. I'm sure you're wondering why I now belong as a pet to a person right? Well, you've come at the right time. Sit down over there and listen to my story with the others...When I was born, I knew nothing. Nothing except that I had a mother and two litter-mates. I spent my early days in peace and tranquility. But, once I was a week old, everything changed. The peaceful world I knew became a hungry one. Only now do I know that what I had faced was called a famine. My mother only nursed us once a day now, instead of letting us nurse whenever we wanted to, in the days before the famine. I didn't understand it at that time. I thought she didn't care about us. But I learned soon after that, like me and my litter-mates, she had to eat and drink as well. Drinking was not a problem to her. There was a never-ending pool of water in the cave after all. It was the food that she was worried about. She had told us in stories that our father had left her.
''It wasn't his fault.'', she said.
''He was captured by hunters.''. So, she had to go and hunt herself, when other caxical families had their fathers and mates hunting for them. It was still okay for the first few weeks. We had opened our eyes and starting to eat solid food, so our mother did not need to worry about us as much as before. However, things began to go wrong a week after we had opened our eyes. My little sister couldn't handle the hunger anymore and left us, left us for the other world. The never-ending pool of water also disappeared. And that was only the beggining. Our mother left us one day to hunt, and never ever came back. No matter how me and my older sister howled for her, she never came back. The famine ended that day and we could go out hunting for ourselves. We were already two months old. We went out, and saw our mother lying half-in, half-out of the river. She was dead, shot by a hunter. We both took on look and fled for our lives, in different directions. We've never seen each other since then.
I grew up alone. I learnt how to hunt alone. I learnt all the things I needed to learn in order to survive alone. All the things I did were done alone. I never saw another Caxical again in my life. Not until I accidentally stumbled upon my birth-den while chasing a rabbit. I immediately recognised the scent, even though I had not gone near my birth-den for two years. I walked inside cautiously, silently, in case there was danger inside. There, inside my birth-den, I saw the first Caxical I had seen for two years. It took me a while to realise it, but, when I did, I knew straight away that the Caxical was my older sister. Whining in joy, I bounded towards her, only to be stopped by a growl and a snarl. What was happening? Did she forget me? I was extremely confused. I took a closer look at her and saw that she had puppies. My mind immediately went back to my puphood, and I knew what I had to help her do. After all, I didn't want her to end up like my mother,
our mother. I crouched down and crawled towards her, licking her face when I reached her, to let her now that I was not a threat to her or her puppies. Then, I ran out. The hunting was bad, very bad. The famine had come again. I wanted to hunt prey for her. And I did, I caught a rabbit for her and was about to bring it to her when, all of a sudden, it happened.
I had not been expecting it. I was too caught up in my thoughts of finding and catching prey for my sister and her puppies when the rope was slung around my neck. Instinctively, I let go of the rabbit and struggled to get free, but, to no avail. I was dragged against my will to a truck, outside the forest where I was born. Where my sister and her pups were. Howling in terror, I tried my best to get free. But the person dragging me was too strong. The person flung me into a small cage at the back of his truck and started driving away, away from the forest where I was born, where my family and their families before them were born. Where my family had died. I looked helplessly as I was taken away from the forest, thinking that I was going to die.
The truck ride soon stopped, and the person carried the cage I was in and dragged me to some weird place where, surprisingly, were many other Caxicals in cages. I knew then that my new life here was going to be hard, harder then life in the forest during the famine. However, I was wrong. I knew I was wrong after I had stayed in this place for a few days. Caxicals were going happily away from this place, accompanied by humans. It was not long before I, like them, yearned to go away from this place with a human as well. I got my wish five days later. I was brought 'home' by a person, who was calling me Wildre. I soon knew that that was going to be my name. Wild Caxicals do not have names. I tried to tel her at first, but I soon didn't mind it. As long as she was giving me food and water, I did not mind a thing. There were times when I missed my sister and wondered if she was okay, but those times faded away quite quickly nowadays. Somehow, I
knew that she was alive and well, that she was thriving out in the wild.
And so, my audience, I've told you my life-story. What about you? Do you want to tell me yours?
