Prompt Answer

Prompt 2

Shui rolled over and immediently regretted it, she could see the sun light going through her eyelids, she opened one of her eyes, it was almost the afternoon, she had slept in once again. Its so late! Why hasnt anyone waken me? She yawned and rubbed her eyes with one of her paws and looked around adjusing her sight. Oh yeah... I had forgotten I'm an adult now! She shook her head to wake herself up. Her face was beaming. Well I'd better get this day started! I'm no kit anymore!

Shui pranced about happily, just for a short moment, like a victory dance. She was an adult now finally after so much time being spent in childhood. Now she no longer needed to be chained down by a family life. She was a free bird, er, ulaya! Shui sighed, she was going to miss her family though, even if she didnt know them all very well. She walked over to a tree and laid down under its leaves in the shade. She hoped she didnt have to start a new family any time soon, that would just be plain annoying after all that effort spent in growing up.

Shui noticed a bird had landed next to her, she was a vegitarian so obviously she didnt go wild and attack it. "Why hello there, little birdie, how are you?" Shui enjoyed talking to other animals, small ones though, they didnt run in fear and it was like they actually understood her. The bird chirped happily in response. "Did you wander away from your family? They surely must be missing you..." Shui realized something, she sure was missing her family right now, already. The bird tilted its head to the side, not sure what she meant, it heard what she said but it was sensing her feelings saying something else. "Oh, how I miss mine so much! We wernt close but we were still a family! I mean, they fed me and took care of me, thats enough for me to miss them?!" Her ears drooped down, the bird nodded in understanding. "Now I have to find my own food..., dont take it wrong, life has been great ever since I've broken free and flown! But its like theres a hole in me now... like..., its so hard to explain..." The bird nodded. "Well, I shouldnt be keeping you so busy! I might as well swim or do something besides wallowing in self-pity!" Shui loved to swim, she would search for hours just to find a river.

Soon she came across a small pond, it was perfect in her eyes. This was where some of the few animals that didnt listen to her lived though, fish, they just didnt seem to like her. Shui quietly slipped into the cool water and waded around, she remembered the time that when she went out with one of her siblings and they saw something extrordinary in a pond, an eight-legged frog. Shui chuckled to herself, she had quite an interesting childhood. Ah, to be a kid again.~ Shui floated along on her back, the breeze was cold against her wet fur. "Would anyone care to talk to me?" She asked to no one in particular, there was no response. Shui sighed, usually at home when she asked this there would be a quick reply from her family. Shui shook her head, she had to get over it! "I'm an adult now! I should be mature and strong!" Talking out loud lifted her confidence.

She rolled onto her stomach and waded to the shore where she got out and shook off the water droplets. Perhaps I should go take a nice nap... Sleeping seemed boring to most but she was happiest when she dreamed, where she could do anyting she wished. She pranced back to where she had once talked to that bird and laid down. She was just about to nap when she noticed a leaf had landed near her. She wasnt very good at it but practice makes perfect. She placed the leaf over her mouth and began to blow on it, creating a strange sounding whistle, it was very entertaining. Except a rabbit soon hopped over to her and started complaining, or at least looked annoyed with all the sound she was making from just a leaf. "Alright, alright, I'll stop." The rabbit nodded approvingly and hopped away, probably back to its family.

Shui sighed and rolled over so she wasnt facing the sun, that way she could fall asleep much faster. She then breathed deeply and closed her eyes, she was just asleep not too long ago but did it really matter? Soon she was swept away into a slumber. There she saw what she had been thinking about all day... and she finally realized that they wernt gone, they were still with her no matter how far away. And in those short pleasurable moments and memories that invisible empty hole had dissapeared.

[I'm going to make her a girl in this]
Ai Ching looked at the family of ulaya, and was sad that she hadn't a family of her own. Though she was sad, she still held her head high because she knew she could be happy as long as she could make others happy. That was who she was.

She watched from under the tree the other kits play. They seemed really happy, but one other kit seemed to be left out. When they played tag, her would run away, but never would the tagger chase her. "Poor her," Ai Ching thought. She saw the kit go into the bushes, probably for a little quiet time to herself. She'd probably have more fun there than with the others. Ai Ching decided to follow her. Maybe she could turn the other kit's frown upside-down!

Ai Ching got to the bushes and saw the other kit lying there, swatting at a leaf. She was startled to see Ai Ching, but she seemed happy at the same time. Ai Ching wanted to talk to her. "Whats wrong?"

The kit let out a little sniffle. "My bothers and sisters don't want to play with me. They think I'm too little and can't keep up with them, and thats not true! Mom and Dad say I can do much better then all of them put together."

Ai Ching looked at her. She was probably the same age, but she was smaller. Then, Ai Ching came up with something. "Lets come up with something really fun that can make your brothers and sisters want to play with you. You know, make them a little jealous of all the fun you are having and make them want to join you?"

A little twinkle came into her eyes and Ai Ching knew of a perfect thing. Little kit...? Don't they go faster in the water?

-----

The kit's brothers and sisters were playing tag, but they soon were tired and bored of their game and decided to lie down. "Where do you think the little runt is," one of the boys asked aloud laughing.

"Digging a whole to live in maybe," another one responded. The whole group laughed, but stopped when they heard water splashing. They wanted to splash in the water too. They were hot and sweaty from running around so much.

All of them followed the sound and soon saw their sister and Ai Ching playing in the water. Some game that looked... really fun!

They looked at the water and all of the fun their sister and Ai Ching were having and they wanted to have fun too! The one that had called her 'runt' earlier stepped up and asked. "Can we join you two?"

The kit looked at Ai Ching with a smile and then back at her siblings. "Of course you can... as long as you promise not to leave me out of things anymore just because of my size!"

Her siblings looked around in shame, and each one nodded their heads and then jumped into the water. They all played in the water together for a while, but then, soon, Ai Ching decided to leave. But before she was able to, the little kit tackled her back into the water and climbed on top of Ai Ching's head. "Thanks for making my day," the kit said with a bright smile, snuggling your head.

Little did the kit know it, but she had made Ai Ching's day as well. She loved to see other people happy.

Name: Doodle p***s
Name of ulaya: Uaithne(male) Isolde (female)
Reason for name: Uaithne for a boy, it means green in gaelic, I thought it was very fitting
Isolde if its a girl, it means beautiful, which this box is simply. Just beautiful shades of green.
Personality: Withdrawn if it is a boy, he'd be more depent on himself and untrusting of others having been left to fend for himself. Skittish if a girl, she'd be a bit more friendly, trying to fill the void within her heart of being left, she'd want to make friends, but be fearful of being left alone again.
Prompt Answer
Your kit ulaya is walking around aimlessly, and comes upon a happy family playing in a medow. How does your ulaya react to seeing this bliss that s/he has never seen him/herself? Is s/he bitter? Confused? Does s/he approach the family? Try to make friends with the other kits? Or does s/he mock them?

Paws shifting over the soft blades of grass, head down lowered between his/her shoulders, a soft intake of breath is slowly let out with a sigh, the hot air turning into cool white wisps as the cool evening breeze moves over the land. The sounds of laughter, and cheering could be heard ahead, lifting his/her head, ears straining forward listening, a faint gleam of hope and yet sorrow shimmered into the orbs staring out.

He/She'd long since given up hope of ever finding their family, and had accepted being abandoned, a tightening feeling wandered through his/her chest as their paws carried them forward, towards the sounds. Curiously, he/she scampered up a tree, peeking through the leaves he/she watched as the mother sat off slightly to the side, laughing as she watched what looked to be her mate, and son and daughter chase one another around, in a game a tag.

Flopping down onto the branch, with another sigh, he/she closed her eyes and just listened to the sounds, imagining what it'd be like if they were down there playing instead. The words of a very grumpy Tac echoed in his/her head " I found you by the side of the river..Dont make me regret this.." With a gulp, he/she rose to their paws once again, jumping down, puffing out their chest they padded past the family, as if they didnt see them, eyes shinning with the tears that threatened to flow, Tac may be cruel, but it was better than nothing. Ami's soft cooing had been what used to lull him/her to sleep and soothed his/her temper after a session with Tac, a small smile formed on his/her maw, she/he did have a family, a bit disfunctional, but a family none the less, even if only Ami would actually admit to any sort of love among them. Well...if she could that was.

The little kit continued forward, hoping to find his/her disfunctional family and slumber down for the night, it was always a quest to find their new sleeping grounds. Tac made sure to move them each night, but Ami left clues here and there...With a little churr of joy, he/she sped up a little bit, a little bounce in his/her step, though the sounds of laughter caused him/her to pause and look back, with a sigh, he/she could only shake their head and continue on his/her way. What family he/she did have, what better than nothing....Better than being alone...

Name: Jaina Eowyn

Prompt Answer #1

Tai wandered aimlessly, looking for a quite, sheltered place to rest where no one would bother him, asking if he were lost or where his parents were. They always asked. If he told them the truth, they would look at him in that way, seeming to say Oh, you're one of those. Unwanted, abandoned. Some showed pity, some showed disgust, some looked at him like it must have been his fault his parents hadn't wanted him. But all those looks hurt so much, that he had stopped telling the truth. He had learned to lie. Oh, they'll be right back. My sister wandered off, I'm waiting here while they look for her.or I'm just going to meet up with them now. he'd say, and either sit patiently until they left, or run off before they could offer to go with him.
He awakened from his reminiscing when he heard noises up ahead. He looked up and saw that his traitorous feet had brought him to the place in the forest that he most loved, and most hated. It was a large meadow, with plenty of shade along the sides for adults to relax in while their kits romped in the sun and the tall grass. A small, clear, sparkling stream cut the meadow in two, providing a refreshing drink to thirsty rompers, as well as a swimming spot for the kits on hot days. It was so perfect, that there was always at least one or two families here during the day.
Tai often hid himself in a nearby tree, watching the other kits play and wishing he could be like them. He would watch them for hours, imagining a life where he would be out there with them, his parents sitting in the shade, glancing over every once in a while to make sure he was okay. To him, it seemed such a life would be heaven. But then, when the last family left and darkness began to fall, his dreams would turn to nightmares. The smiling, loving parents would stand up and walk away without a backwards glance. He would run and run, but he would never catch them, and as they disappeared he would hear them say Why would we ever want a defective kit like him. I Can hardly believe he's even ours, we should have been able to do so much better. He'd learned early not to sleep in trees, because he thrashed around during his nightmares, and had almost fallen out the few times he'd tried.
Deciding he wasn't sleepy yet, Tai walked towards his favorite perch. He knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help himself. If he couldn't have the love and caring that other kits got, at least he could watch. Every time he did this, he told himself he'd go into the meadow. That he'd go, and play with the kits, and have fun. They didn't have to know he was parentless, he could say they'd dropped him off while they went to have some alone time. He wasn't sure what adults did during "alone time," but he'd seen the excuse used often enough that he figured it would be accepted without any further questions. Every time he told himself this, and every time he was still in his tree as the last family left.
Tai paused, his paws poised to begin climbing his tree, and then he turned towards the meadow. Maybe it was something in the air. Maybe it was some small but significant change in himself. He wasn't sure what made him decided to do this today, when he had never been able to before, but decide he did. Today he was going to go out there. He was going to go play with the other kits and have fun. He blinked as he walked out from under the shadow of the trees, into the bright sunlight, not knowing how this one decision would change his life, but knowing that it would be forever changed.

Ok, that's my entry. Sorry it's so long, I've never been good at keeping things short... sweatdrop Hope everyone enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I'm leaving it open ended for RP if I win. And if I don't... I guess we'll never know what happens. xd (hey, it's worth a try!)

As a bonus, a little poem I wrote that I thought fit this moment in his life:

LOOKING BACK

Gone away
Gone for good
Never falling down.
Gone ahead
Gone beyond
Never turning ‘round.
Gone now
Gone forever
Never looking back.
No, I won’t look back.
