I open my eyes to chaos.
Wait, no. First let me introduce myself. My name is Cassius.
Just Cassius.
I had been having a great day. I was small, maybe five or six. It’s all just a hazy,
bittersweet memory now. Good days don’t exist anymore.
My little brother, Chuck, had played with me in the white, fluffy stuff that falls from
the sky, that I now interpret as snow, all day. Mother had caught us a big deer for supper,
and we stuffed ourselves with the warm meat. As she put us to sleep, Chuck slumped
over me, I fell into a deep slumber. I felt warm, fuzzy.. loved. Emotions I haven’t
felt in years.
All I remember is waking up to slashing claws, growls, and a shrill, ear-splitting scream.
I hoist myself up into a sitting position just in time to see Mother on the ground, a pool
of blood surrounding her. She says something I can’t decipher. I listen harder. “RUN!”
“i love you, don’t forget that. You have to run, run as fast as you can, and protect chuck, okay?”
“i love you” her voice cracks. She looks like she is in pain
And then she was gone.
I grip chuck in my jaws and bolt for the cave entrance. Something lunges at me. I can’t see.
I’m confused, small, helpless. My eyes are filling with tears. My ears are ringing...

Personality // Cassius is a very complex bean. His personality will be difficult to explain. Lets just start off with the main points of Cassius. He used to be familiar with love and warmth, but now all of his emotions are thrown away into his past, hidden from everyone else. Cassius can be cruel. Heartless, even. He constantly feels the heavy guilt of his history. Hides it with bitterness. Despite all of this, he has a sweet side, buried somewhere deep inside of him. ✖✖✖
Cassius. He is known to dwell in the past . It is the deep burden he carries that makes him so sorrowful. He is strong, both mentally and physically, and has impenetrable barriers that surround his feelings. Cassius is not the sociable type, as he prefers to be alone. He often tries to lighten up, but the past just keeps weighing him down. Although no other bean he meets may think this is accurate, Cassius can be a selfless, kind character. He has a huge soft spot for children, and will act nurturing towards a young animal of any species. He tries to put on a tough act in front of everyone else, but inside he really does have a good heart; a heart made of gold.

Dream: //I
stare up into the beautiful night sky as I lay in the grass, relaxed. The birds are flying above me, forming a V. Suddenly I remember. I remember all the things that keep me trapped, trapped in my old life. Unable to move, the long shadows move towards me at a rapid pace. I can't escape. I can't escape. I start to run, faster than the darkness trying to engulf me. Confidence surges into my bones, and I leap into the air, spreading my new found wings. Black, sleek, feathery wings. Joining the birds, I can escape the past. I can be free. I can finally be- and then I wake up

It's been years since mom's death. Now me and chuck live and survive together. We hold eachother up.
"it's gettin' late, we better get going" i say.
suddenly i see a flash of brown and rippling fur beside me as chuck bolts past me. "i'll race ya!" he challenges me over his shoulder. But I am already catching up to him. He's pretty small. "oh really" I reply. I pounce, and we grapple with eachother, tugging on ears and playfully nipping. Soon enough i have Chuck pinned. "No fair!" he complains. I chuckle. But Chuck is now squirming out from beneath me, launching himself on top of me "hey!" I protest. "Ha!" he shouts triumphantly.
breathing heavily, we walk towards camp together. The way it's supposed to be...
When we get home, we are already exhausted from another day of working. sort of.
chuck is slumped over me, and I don't bother shoving him off because I like it. It brings back memories of being curled up with mother.
I'm woken from my thoughts when Chuck asks me, "What was mom like, Tommy?" I don't want to answer, but I do anyways. "She was kind and selfless. She fought off the things that were attacking us to save us."
a long silence.
"What attacked us?"
"I don't know, Chucky, I really don't know"
another long silence
I soon realize that he has fallen asleep. Laughing to myself a little, I rest my head on the soft dirt and let my breaths match his. I can feel my eyes drooping, and allow one last thought before I drift off.
I won't let anything happen to Chuck

Interview with Cass // Cassius'll answer some questions c:
Hello Cassius. What's your favorite food?
"Hey. My favorite food..? Don't really have one, but I guess it would be
something sweet. Like macaroons.
Tell me about some of your hobbies?
"Well, I enjoy jogging, Sports, and sometimes I like writing."
What's your favorite animal?
"Birds. I just admire how free they are."
Interesting. So, what song do you like?
"I like a lot of music, but if I had to pick, it would probably be this song
Now, what's your biggest regret in life?
"That's none of your business!" he snaps ____________________✖✖✖✖✖_________________________
I wake up, stretching. Ready for a new day. When I open my eyes, Chuck is not sprawled beside me, like he usually is. Frantic, I scramble to my feet and peer around for him. This can't be happening I say to myself. I dash out of camp and into the forest, calling for Chuck.
When I feel absolutely hopeless, I hear a squeak and a rustle of feathers. My head snaps to the side as Chuck bounds out of the bushes, racing after a bird that is far out of his reach.
I tackle him to the ground, embracing him tightly. "What's wrong you?" I demand, but i'm too relieved to be angry. We walk home as he explains his tragic story of the bird "just waiting to be chased" I sigh. That's Chuck for 'ya. Suddenly I hear loud noises coming from the direction of our home. "D'ya hear that?" Chuck asks. I'm already dashing towards the noises.
When I see what is causing the noise, I freeze.
A bear.
All the memories come crashing over me so strongly I almost pass out. The bears. They attacked us that night. I can't move. I am frozen in place. Chuck seems confused. He gently tugs me, saying "C'mon, let's get it out of our place!" I am supposed to do something. But I can't. It all happens so fast. Chuck bounds into the bear, barely causing any damage. The bear turns and slams it's huge paw right into him, which sends him flying, limp. He is unconscious. A sudden surge of protectiveness washes me towards the evil thing, and before i know it, I can see blood pooling around it. I don't know what i did, but I couldn't care less. Chuck is dead. I stand over him, Wailing and sobbing into his now-cold flank. What have I done?
