Chapter 1

I ran across the busy Furcity pathways, followed by the familiar blue uniform of the police. Uh oh.

I'm the type of person who won't usually get in trouble. But I wasn't exactly in trouble here, I was just different. And different means that you're important in some way.

I was human. The only human in Furcity. No one knew where I was from, and why I was even on their planet.

Imagine if someone different was found in the world that you live in. An alien. Someone who didn't belong there. Imagine all of the scientists wanting to see how they ticked, all of the anti-alien people wanting to kill them, and all of the rulers wanting to make sure that you weren't going to steal their position. And then imagine that the only thing they had left to protect them was their adopted mother. World vs Mom. World would easily win.

No offense to my mom of course. I mean, she adopted me and was willing to protect me with her life! She was a kind bear with warm, brown eyes. The dream mom. She had one flaw though, and that was her secrecy.

Mom actually never told me how she found me until earlier this year. And then everything went from 'bad enough' to 'TERRIBLE'.

"Cherry dear, I need to talk to you." Mom said as she locked the front door.
Creepy. Was she locking me in or other people out?
"Y-yes, mom?" I said, sensing that she was going to talk about something important.
I was correct.
"I found you in a town. A town that went by the name of Aniville..."

Apparently, Aniville was a sweet little town. It was where she was brought up, in a little cottage just north of two small shops (Nooks Cranny and The Able Sisters). Mom said it had a deep purple roof and a bright red letterbox. It sounded like something out of a fairy tale, really.

Mom was one of five children. The youngest in fact. When all of the other four left, mom took to long walks around and about the weedlands, north of the cottage. But one day she saw a UFO in the sky. She shot it with her slingshot without thinking, and out fell a small bundle. Me.

The problem is, I wasn't the only one listening to that conversation. My evil sister Agnes (who was a bear) heard it too, and decided to tell all of her Furbook followers. Thanks Agnes... you just ruined my life.

Before being all over tv, people accepted me as 'an unusual species'. They never asked questions, although some gave me funny looks. To be honest, it wasn't really Agnes' fault. Some day somebody would've raised the question.

I know that I know where I'm from. I had a few memories nestled back in the depths of my mind, but I can't see them

And even though I told the press that same thing many many times, Aerth just did not get it.

"OY! YOU'RE ARRESTED, MISS!" Shouted the officer.
"WHY?" I said back.
"BECAUSE YOU JUST ARE!" He said, panting.

I had a plan. All I had to do was keep him talking, and he would give up. Good idea, if I say so myself.

And then it got bad.

He was waving his taser at me. I somehow knew that he would shoot.

How I hate being correct...
