The Curse of Night

Natalie - Bad Tree!

         Stupid. That's what I was thinking as I walked, grumbling some, behind Night. How could I have possibly been so stupid?! I should have known that the guy I was meeting for and adoption process, set up by the 'government', would have been I fake. Never once have any of those adoption processes gone well, always someone trying to attack me... I should have known this would be no different. 

         All I want is a home, and a family, or just someone that cares about me, that can protect me. "It's not happening!!" I shouted at myself, completely forgetting Night was walking right in front of me. Night seemed a bit surprised, I could tell "What's not happening?" embarrassment and sorrow filled my heart quickly and I stared at my feet as I walked, "um... nothing... I-It's not important" that probably wasn't very convincing, dang it. "That wasn't very convincing" thanks captain obvious, I thought, silently to myself. It's pointless trying to hide this forever, she is bound to find out..... just tell her, "Adoption.... that's my 'big' secret," I made quotations with my fingers,  "I've been trying to get adopted. That is what that stupid meeting was." Night looked as if she tripped over a tree root, because she turned to glare at it. Nice cover Night, I thought grumpily to myself. 

         "Right now you can't be near people that would care for you. You don't want to hurt them." I looked up  now, wanting to throw something at her and cry, "So you mean never?" I was done talking by now and wanted to go upset a stupid tree. Night went silent, the conversation died and we both walked in silence. We finally came across a cave and Night walked inside. I grumbled and stomped off. I found a tree and knocked on the trunk angrily, "What's up, you stupid tree spirit?!" I could tell by the look of this tree that it was against my kind. 

           Of course the tree attacked, faster than I thought it would. It flung me up into the air, laughing like a maniac, I snapped and a shadow portal appeared and I fell into the void. I swam around and found the proper escape window and jumped through to in front of the cave. This time a picked up a rock, I chucked it angrily at a tree and it burst into furious flames. "BAD TREE" I screamed at it. I picked up another rock and threw it at a different tree, this tree growled at me. I growled back at it and snarled at it. I probably looked like an idiot, but I really didn't care. 

         I walked back over the the cave and inside, putting up a shadow barrier over the door. Night looked confused, like always, I sighed and started to explain "this is for your protection. I usually sleep in a shadows, but you are a human. Lots of abnormalities would love to eat your soul" I snickered and turned into a small Shadow-Bat. Night looked slightly terrified, but I just left it at that and flew to the ceiling. I fell asleep pretty instantly and had some very odd dreams. 

         I woke up sometime in the morning. Night was already awake. You know me, clumsy and forgetful, yeah, I fell off the ceiling. I flapped my wings but I was too startled to try to fly. Luckily Night caught me last second. I rolled over in her hand and stretched, "thank you" I said yawning slightly. Night seemed slightly irritated, "Yeah.... Anyways I'm thinking we should go flying today" She smriked slightly and put me on the ground.
