I ran through the forest trying to find somewhere where I could be alone. After 20 minutes, I come up to a little waterfall that flows into a small stream. I walk up to the edge of the stream and neel down.

"Is something wrong, little one?" a voice says

"Huh? Who said that?"

"I did."

I look around and spot a big doe standing on the other side of the pool.

"How are you speaking to me? Am I going crazy?"

"No. I am speaking to you in your head. You understand me because you are a shapeshifter."

"What? That's not possible. I'm a normal kid whos adopted parents are fighting."

"You are not normal. And you know it."

I gaze at the deer. I am a shapeshifter? How? I look around and see a hawk staring at me from a big tree, a mountain lion watching me closely from a ledge, and a wolf slinking in the shadows. 

I turned back to the doe.

"If i'm a shapeshifter, who are my parents?"

"Your mom is a catamount. A human who can shapeshift into a mountain lion. And she is the queen of Saradothia. But the throne was stolen from her by her step sister. Your mother is captured."

"What?! That is crazy! So your saying i'm a princess?"

"That is exactly what i'm saying."

"Oh God."
"And your father is a werewolf."

"What!? This keep getting crazier by the minute!"

"I'm sorry little one. But I have to go."

The doe turned and disappeared into the forest.
