I walked through my forest, people rarely ever entered and I know. Having lived and been assigned here for close to a century. I heard something, unusual.... Coughing, human coughing. I move slowly and Silently, my paws touching the ground lightly. I move my tails around, avoiding them brushing the ground. I peer around the oak tree, It was Just a young girl. She was a little wet, and smelled like earth. I move towards her some, she looks at about three. I was surprised at how old the clothing style looked, It looked as it was from the early 18th century. Her skirt was torn on the bottom, Her shoes where missing and her, What was it called?.. It doesn't matter, It was askew. Her hair was a pale soft blonde-white color, her skin was and olive-tone and her Eye's were strikingly blue. I approach her slowly, when she collapses. She seems like she hasn't eaten in a while, I pick her up using her Dress. As you would a Fox picking up a kit.
I run to my hill, walking into the cave. I set her down on the pile of leaves, moss and brambles. I move to the only wall that's mostly stone, Pressing my paw onto a crack. Part of the wall drops, Flowers sprouting the crack. I pick her up and goes down the stairs. I look around my Library, Seeing the portal to Home. I go into the opposite room, Placing her down in this garden. I wrap my self around her, warming this cold child. Making sure that she's buried fur, except for her face. I can feel her heart beat, I'm going to care for her. At least If she has no one, If not. I'll erase her memories and return her.
-o0O-???'s POV-O0o-
I wake up surrounded by black and green fur, I start to freak out. Moving around and Pulling away from this thing. Looking at it, It's giant and staring at me. What am I doing here, why is it staring? It stands up, chuckling slightly.
"My Name is Kita. I'm sorry I brought you here but, you were alone,starving and cold. I felt that it was Only right to bring you to me 'home'" says the thing, in a feminine voice.
"I-I umm" I say, scared and Confused. It walks to me and places a huge paw on my forehead, closing her eyes. They snap open quickly, worried.
"Do you remember anything?" She asks me.
"N-no, only after I woke up in here" I say, calming down a little.
"Ok, Your name is Kalypso. Say it with me, Kal-ip-so" she say, me saying it with her. I smile a little, looking at her kind eyes and fluffy fur. She leads me out, I hold onto her fur and stay close. Starting to trust her.
-o0O-9 years later-O0o-
I wake up in the flower-bed, I must've dosed off again. I need to go to Mom and see what time it is. I need to stop falling asleep, but my dreams are so compelling. Mom thinks that in the future, I'll be able to join everyone out there and bring some people happiness. I stand up, stretching and open the door. Sighing, I realize that mom is off scavenging for things that I need. Right now, I'm wearing a tied scarf over my ears and to hold back my hair, a pair for shorts from last year and a small button up tank-top. I look around for my Moms food stash, but don't see it. My tail twitches and I sigh. I sit near the stairs and wait for Mom to come home.
