Cross Heart

Chapter 1

It's get together Day. Where everyone on this quarter of Clavia, gets together for a big festival. This happens at least every 6 months. And boy, is it boring. To others, this is the best thing ever. But me? I don't have any friends, because no one likes me. No one respects me for who I am. I don't like it. I look over at the shiny silver carriage. It's just silver. Nothing else. "Do you like the new carriage?" Said the king. "AAuh..." god did he scare me. I'm trying not to act like he did. "yes.. yes I do." It's just silver. Of course I don't like it. "Maybe you could add a few details..?" I stood there, regretting my choice to say that. " well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt.." he replied. I feel so relieved. He could've killed me. Literally. "For now it will have to stay like this." The king said. "That's fine." I began to walk away to the carts. They were crowded with people. Someone was handing out cards that had numbers on them. The number you got was the number of your cart. I walked over and grabbed a card. Four... crap. I stared at the cart. Furries were shoved around, yelling and fighting. It was a mess. There was zero room. I climbed into the cart, and was immediately shoved to the rail. At least I'm on. The cart slowly began to move. The screaming and yelling stopped. Finally. The cart pulled up to a community park. There were tables and chairs made of stone. I looked around. So many furries... a shiver went down my spine. The cart stopped. I turned to get out, but instead bumped into someone. I fell back and hit the gate, causing it to open. No no no please no not now... I fell out, and banged my head against the hard, stone-like ground of Clavia. People began to giggle. I got up, and dusted off my fur. I stared at everyone, clenching my amulet in my hand. Furries were laughing at me. A small tear rolled down my face, as I turned around. I ran. I ran as fast as I could, hoping I would never see any of them again. Their laughs rang trough out the park. I ignored them, and kept running until I couldn't hear any of them. I stopped. I couldn't hear anyone, or anything. It was complete silence. I began to cry. I sat on the ground and shoved my face into my knees. I was tired from running so much. It felt like my fur was being torn out. I stopped crying, and glanced around. I lid down on the ground, and stared into the sky hoping I'll find a place where I belong. I then curled up, and fell asleep.
