This is a story I started in college when I was a fan of all things mermaid. Writing a "fish out of water" fantasy story was extremely fun, and I recently pulled out my old draft for a revamping. (Not going to say exactly how many years later...) Since there is a cameo from a character from "Pet Shop of Horrors," I'm posting this as a fan work. 

What is Pet Shop of Horror? Well...honestly you don't need to know any background information for this story, but if you're curious, here's a primer:

Many creatures beautiful and cruel - or some combination of the two - have pass through the shop belonging to the man only known as "Count D," mysterious and mercurial, and probably immortal to boot. This is the story of one of those creatures, although I cannot say for certain whether the events described took place near the shop in San Francisco's Chinatown that manga fans learned about in Pet Shop of Horrors. 

This manga made a lasting impression on me, a teenager during the early 2000's who was just discovering the stories that would shape her. Though Count D only appears briefly in the story, it seemed natural to my college self that he might be involved. 

But mostly this story is about a magical creature, one who begins proud and narrow minded, but who through many trials becomes perhaps slightly less of that.

25 parts Ongoing
Kira's family had fallen apart when she was just a child, and she'd grown up with a deep sense of loneliness and despair. She had always felt like a mere whisper in the symphony of life. With each passing day, she could see her reflection in the mirror, the dullness in her eyes reflecting a life without much excitement or promise. The only constant in her life was her beloved cat, Elias. Elias was a black Jaguar who always seemed to understand Kira's deepest thoughts and emotions. It was a simple and mundane life, but Kira cherished it because it was all she had. She often wondered if there was more to her existence, but it seemed like wishful thinking. As she arrived to school for her last year of high school, transfered students of high class were being welcomed. Kira was assigned to guild them around and then encountered an injured man on the way back from school and decided to help him out. what happened yesterday felt like I dream to her so she put it all out of her mind. One evening, Kira's newly found friends arranged to meet up at an arcade near by when, a peculiar sensation enveloped her. The world around her began to ripple and twist, as if reality itself was coming undone. In an instant, she found herself in a place that defied all logic. Strange creatures and vivid landscapes surrounded her, and she realized that she had been transported to a different dimension. Before her stood a tall man with pink glasses which she found a little odd, this person also possessed extraordinary abilities. He explained that Kira had been chosen to receive the power of reality warping. Kira was overwhelmed by the enormity of the responsibility, but she felt a glimmer of hope that her life might finally have meaning. .. or so she thought. Until Kira, forever questioned the thin line that separated good and evil, hero and villain.

Before you read the summary, I want you to know that this isn't a story about paranormal beings falling in love, with each other or ordinary people. It is about the horrifying and unusual consequences caused be love. "How?" You may wonder...well I guess you'll just have to read and find out. "There was still something there that rang so familiar inside of him, in a place he had long forgotten about. But as a word hangs from one's lips at precise time it's needed or a person is overcome with an overwhelming sense of déjà vu, he just couldn't figure out where he had seen her before. Before this city. Before the last city. Before the city before that. Maybe even before Hell itself." A man's unusual beginning leaves him empty and without a memory. All he knows is that he doesn't belong here, but there is literally no way in Hell he would ever go back to where he came from. Will he choose to be who he once was? Or risk never regaining any of his memories ever again? I was also wondering if you could give me some feedback on the story! It's my first full story I've ever written and I was wondering what's working, what isn't making sense. If you could help me out I'd be really grateful!
