Anket [F] & Morticia [F]
((I imagine they're anthros and adults, just wish the spider PPS had an adult form. =P))
"I don't normally keep a journal but after today I feel it's important for me to write down the events so that there will be an account and reason for my immediate disappearance. I will tell the tale of my old friend Morticia, a very odd name for an Egyptian, I know... but that was her name. Given to her, not by her mother, but by a spider who she called her dear mother.
For you see, when Morticia was born she was completely black with a marking on her face that looked like a spider's web, instead of crawling to find a teat like her siblings she squirmed away and came face to face with a black widow spider. She did not come to harm though, instead the spider prodded her back towards her mother. This did not go unnoticed by her mother and instead of praising the gods that her kit was not struck by the vemon of the spider she saw it as a bad omen. Her mother cast her aside as soon as she was weaned, she had fulfilled her duty as a mother to feed and provide care until weaned, now she need not trouble her teat for such an abomination.
Morticia lived behind the giant web of the black widow spider. After awhile she was accepted but still treated differently by the widow and her kind, she was more tolerated than anything else but she felt she belonged with them. This was when I finally met her.
I had killed one of the black widow's children by accident as it crossed my path and Morticia saw herself as their older sister, she attacked me to avenge her fallen sibling. I was much bigger than her though and was able to over take her, when I asked her why she attacked me she told me she was that spider's sister. She had no idea she was a cat, even though she looked like a cat she thought she was a spider.
Who was I to tell her otherwise? Who was I to try and tell her she was a cat like me and not one of those pests? Oh yes, I'm the daughter of Pharaoh but to her that means nothing. She loved her adoptive mother and family, she felt happy believing she was one of them... that she belonged to someone. That her mother was the goddess of all arachnids and she had the power to turn those who were willing into spiders as well. That someday she would be granted this gift and she would finally be one with them all.
She bows to the spider Queen... but a small bug at my father's feet yet she sees her as all the world. It is blasphemous I know, my father is the morning and the evening star, her bug is nothing and should not be worshiped like he is.
I can't reason with her though and a small part of me does not want to. To strip someone of their belief in a living god, even if it is just a spider, is barbaric and inhuman.
I stayed her friend for a long time, despite my father's protests over the years. I could not blame him really, she and I had not met on the best of terms if you remember. He would not say... but I am his favorite daughter and it is hard for him to deny me anything. I was the only cat Morticia let near her in a friendly manner, she was often very distant and acted very strange. Twitching uncontrollably one moment and then sitting still as a pyramid the next, even her eyes did not blink or move. I think it had something to do with being around spiders so long, they did the same thing, but to see a cat do so was unsettling. I would notjudge her for it though, she was funny and I loved her random spurts of energy, she'd do the most crazy things when twitchy. Often dangerous but she would always brush it off saying something like, "Oh I saw my brother do that once, he's fine so I am too." She wished so much to be more like them...
One day I went to go see Morticia at her home under the spider's web, she was there but something was wrong with her, she remained still on the ground despite me calling her name over and over again. When I finally came to sit beside her she slowly turned her head to face me and opened her eyes...
I couldn't hold in a startled yowl. Her beautiful fiery red eyes were gone, replaced by white... and they seemed to glow with an energy I did not understand.
She told me she was finally one of them, that the black widow had bitten her the morning. At first she did not understand what she had done to warrant such a punishment as the venomous bite from her mother, then she began to feel a change within her blood. Her eyes burned with white fire and the markings appeared on her fur, cementing her as one of them forever, or so she thought.
It wasn't as glorious as she thought it would be, she complained of this cold empty feeling within her heart, like it was no longer there. I could do little to comfort her accept groom her fur and coddle her, she was not very responsive to it though. I feared for her as the hours passed. It was not just that her light seemed to be gone, or that those sad empty glowing eyes looked to me as if I had all the answers, it was the stiffness and cold I felt in her form as time ticked on that disturbed me the most.
When her dear mother came down from her web she told me that I should leave, that Morticia needed her rest. Something in those black beady eyes made my fur bristle, something was not right here.
I had this feeling that if I left... something was going to happen to Morticia and I would lose her forever.
At first I hissed at the black widow, but when she raised one of her legs towards Morticia. With effort my friend suddenly rose and wandered past the spider into the shadows, once again the widow told me to leave. I could have sat there all night but my father sent guards out to come find me and bring me home, reluctantly I left, the dread followed me all the way home.
The next morning I rushed to go find out if Morticia was alright, I searched all around her home, it was a shabby abandoned shack filled to the brim with spiders and webs but I forced through them. I could not find her anywhere.
I left the shack and sat down to groom the webs from my fur before continuing to look for her around the shack, while I was sitting a very large spider approached me, it was the largest spider I had ever seen and it certainly wasn't ever around the shack before. I would have remembered such large resident.

The spider came close to me and it was then I noticed the same eyes my old friend had once had, before she had been bitten. They were red as blood and unlike the other spiders there were only two instead of eight. It reached one leg out and I bent down closer to it, the spider stroked my face with two of its front legs and the little arms by its mouth twitched excitedly. Then I heard a familiar voice, smaller but still understandable, whisper...
"Hello Anket." Morticia said quietly, her voice was so soft and she sounded peaceful for the first time since I'd met her.
I asked her why, what had happened? Why was she a spider now, where was her body? She told me her dear mother had to take her eyes and place them on another body, then slowly her soul was eaten away and transfered over to the body she now resided in. The black widow had been a goddess after all.
She told me we would not be able to meet ever again, for she had to leave all behind that was of her former life, or her soul would never truly move on and would be stuck in a sort of limbo between bodies.
She was going to leave me you understand. My best friend of I don't know how many years was going to leave me alone just like that, after all we had been through. I was outraged at first, but then I realized how much I needed her. I don't know why I did what I did... but I hit her, hard enough to cause slight pain but not hard enough to hurt her permanently or kill her. I continued to do so, until finally her dear mother came out to see why her newest child was wailing. I think we were both wailing, I did not want to hurt Morticia, I loved her... I screamed at the black widow to bite me, change me too or I would kill Morticia and any other spiders I found in the shack. All of them! I'd order it burned to the ground. The threat seemed to work and the black widow, who only bites those she feels worth turning, bit me on the hind leg.
When I felt my eyes begin to burn I crumpled to the ground at Morticia's feet and sobbed out why I had hurt her, because I couldn't live without her, because I loved her and would rather be a spider at her side than a princess of Egypt.
All she did was pet my face with her two front legs, telling me it was alright now. That we would never be apart again...
I suppose if I stopped writing and looked into the mirror now I would see the same empty eyes Morticia had that day, I can feel the emptiness starting within myself and soon I will go to the black widow... she has found me another body. I did not ask for this to happen, nor do I really want to become a spider.
However I do know with all my being that I want to remain at the side of my dear friend Morticia and if it means occupying another form so be it. She is so much more to me than looks or species and being with her is all that matters now.
I'm sorry father, if I have disappointed you, I meant you no harm with my actions. Though I'm sure I have done just so... but know I did this of love for another, not to spite of you. And mother, this was not your doing, no one could have asked for a better mentor and friend than you. I love you both. By the time you find this I will already be gone from this body, I discourage you looking for me, we must leave all behind to start a new.
Goodbye.

What would it take, for things to be quiet? Quiet like the snow.Cause I know this isn't much, But I know I could, I could be better.
I don't think I deserve it,
Selflessness, find your way into my heart.
All stars could be brighter, all hearts could be warmer.
What would it take for things to be quiet, quiet like the snow?
She allowed a sad, wishful sigh to escape her lips - somber violet eyes looking into a cloudless sky. Her fingers, long and pale against the polished cedar sill, tapped restlessly, her worn wreath of stem and leaf dangling from a fragile neck.
He worked with a persistent urgency, movements slurred, thoughts combustive with the smallest shift. The thin bracelets 'round his heels clanked with a excruciating slowness to them, ticking like a old grandfather clock, mocking him and his crushed senses, and he found himself sunk upon his knees, hands buried up to their palms in thick white hair.
She could feel a restlessness stirring inside her, the same restlessness the clear blue of the sky or the rough texture of a pebble struck into her heart, urging and screaming at her to reach into the beyond and never compensate back, to grasp the source of all this sudden worry and stroke it like a child. 'such a sad feeling' she murmured, eyes squinted into the garden below.
The rays of sunlight scorched his skin, sent splitting pain across his surface and he doubled over, forehead pressed against the ground. He opened his jaws -- opened them wide enough that they hurt -- to allow passage to a rasping, bloodcurdling scream that would never find its way past his lips.
At first he was a blear, a single speck of outstanding white against a field of greens and yellows and pinks. Then he came into focus and her pace was quickening, her eyes bulging and straining to make out his shape. Instantly she was racing, fleeing and dashing down the polished stairs, her hands slamming against the door, knee's falling to the ground and her arms wrapping around him, hands tangling in his abrasive, matted mop of thick white hair.
He couldn't see her at once, couldn't sense her or even notice she was there. Then he felt them, felt her arms around him and felt his pulse quicken and flutter like the wings of a excited bird. He could feel his pain lessening, could feel his confusion dimming. She was here. She was here. She was 'here' he exhaled suddenly, his fingers reaching to stroke her cheek in wonder.
'its alright', she murmured, her fingers brushing his hair from his eyes, 'i`m here'.

;A; Didn't turn out like I wanted. Sorry, you-know-who~


Acel [♂] --- xxx [♂]
The ominous sky tilted above him looked different tonight, alive. Bright, aqua-flavored fireflies danced around his smile, painting a magnificent portrait. His eyes clouded quicker than usual when the moon burst out.
A gentle exhale was heard, directly next to him. Acel's face slowly turned, eyes following a second late.
A brightly fashioned boy, Acel's age approximately in 'facial years'. But he knew that this boy was much older, terms speaking of experience.
"It really is very pretty, right?" It said, voice like the colder end of summer air.
"Very."
"It makes you think, does it not? Think of the terrestrial experiences elsewhere... Elsewhere..." When his voice could no longer be heard, Acel turned, facing the boy. A smile broke out on the others face, revealing flashy white teeth. "You're not a talker, are you?"
Acel's eyes twinkled. "No, not much."
"It shows in your eyes, it does." The other boy swiped his hand in the air quickly, and opened it to show Acel the firefly freshly caught. "Time to go, little bugger...~"
But as it flew away, so did the mysterious being.

"Take him." He handed the cowering man a slip of paper. "Take him to this address, but say nothing to no one. Leave him there. If he awakens, tell him nothing of this life he lives now." His voice came out harsh, demanding, cold...though the tone was caused by not anger, but shards of ice that froze his blood and pierced his heart.
The smaller of the two nearly shuddered at the words his master spat at him, but nodded vigorously, determined not to show any fear. "And you, my Lord? What shall I tell him of you?"
A dark shadow clouded the black eyes that glared at him. "Tell him nothing, nothing of me." he snarled, then smiled, his teeth gleaming in the moonlight, his eyes glinted with red. "You may go now, Wormtail."
His faithful servant nodded yet again and bowed deeply. "Yes, my Lord. As you wish." He prepared to take off.
Taking one last glance at his sleeping son, Lord Voldemort reached out a pale hand and stroked the tiny lightning scar carved onto the baby's forehead.
"Sleep well, my son, until we meet again."
