"CATHY!" I heard my mother yell from the house. "CATHY COME INSIDE THIS INSTANT."
"Sorry mom! But I want to explore!" I said laughing while i finished tying my conevers. "I'll be back before midnight!"
I ran into the woods hearing my mother laugh from behind me. I jumped over fallen tree's and the soggy moss.
I smiled as I fell to the ground and then layed down in the patch of moss I was in. So far my new life was
going great. My father had been promoted so we moved to England and I still havent started Secondary School
and I was loving having no friends. I was never one for making friends any way. People always thought I was
weird because I talked to animals and liked to sit away from everyone. Only if they knew Animals talked back
to me. I told my mother and she laughed and when I told me father he walked into his office and didn't talk to
me for three felt strange having animals talk to me but they have been since I was 5. I was now
10 about to become 11 in two weeks. I was looking forward to becoming 11 because my father always told me something
amazing would happen. I smiled at the sky then jumped as I heard something in the forest.
"Hello?" I asked looking around. Another noise happened and I stood up. I started to get scared and I turned around
to run. As soon as I took a step I heard someone talk.
"Hello? Is someone there?" I stopped and turned around. A turned around to find a grey and white rabbit hopping out of the forest.
She stood on her high legs and sniffed the air then looked at me.
"Uh... Hi." I said smiling down at her.
"Hello, why are you in the forest at this time?" She asked me thinking I couldn't understand her.
"Well... I wanted to explore... I'm sorry if im in your property or something." I got down on my knees and looked at her
with a smile. She looked up to me with her big rabbit eyes.
"You can hear me?" Her nose wiggled. I nodded at her and she jumped around. "Oh this is great! I've always wanted to talk
to a human. This is so exciting!" I laughed and picked her up.
"Come home with me and we can talk in my room!" She wiggled her nose in happiness and I walked back to my house. I walked into
the front door and my mother walked in.
"Cathy where ha- Why do you have a bunny?" She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes.
"Mom this is my new friend." I smiled up at her.
"Whats its name?" She asked me.
"My name is Lily." Lily said up to me.
"Her name is Lily." I said. My mother looked at me and sighed.
"Fine. You can have her as a pet. But I promise you if she makes a mess she is out of here." I smiled at my mother then at Lily
and ran up to my room.
"A pet? Why do I have to be a pet?" Lily asked me as I put her on my bed and closed my door.
"They can't understand you like I can... They don't know how it feels to take a friend home and they automatically think it's a pet."
I sat on my bed and Lily hoped on my lap and nuzzled her face in my stomach. "Dont worry Cat. Im here!"
"Cat?" I asked whipping a tear that almost escaped.
"Well.. I like your name Cathy and all but I think Cat would suit you better." She made a bunny sound and then hopped off my lap.
She hopped over to the pillows and snuggled up their. "Cat you should go to bed. Its late."
I stood up and walked over to my dresser and pulled out my black sweat shirt. "Sorry Lily but I didn't finish exploring." She sat up on my pillow and looked at me.
"Do you always do that?" she asked me. I nodded and through my hidden rope out the window.
"See you later Lily." I winked at her while she layed back down and hopped out of my window and running into the woods.
I walked around with a flash light in my hands. I walked down a new path and deeper into the woods. I smiled as i walked deeper into
the woods. The tree's were thinning out and i moved the flash light to the open passage. I walked threw to find a tall house and most
of the lights were on. I turned my flashlight off and pulled my hood down. My long red hair flew to the front of my face with the wind
and my feet slowly continued to more towards the house. As I got closer i heard laughter and people talking. The next thing i knew
the door swung open and two tall figures stepped out. I looked over and jumped into the nearest bush.
"Oh Georgie that was hilarious! Mum is going to kill us once the Magical Moustache Miracle Stubble Grow wears off and her facial hair
goes away!" They both laughed and then walked farther towards where I was.
"Yeah, that was bloody brilliant." The one named George pushed the other man and then they started to laugh and wrestled standing up.
I muffled a giggle and they stopped.
"Fred did you hear that?" George said.
"Yeah... HELLO IS SOMEONE THERE?" Fred yelled. I tried not to move but my clumsiness got the best of me. I fell back and landed on a stick that snapped right away.
The two boys walked over to where the bush was and i went into a panick. I jumped up and ran as fast as I could back into the woods. Next thing i knew i heard there
footsteps behind me. I ran faster but i tripped.
"Crap." I said then tried to get back up but there hands grabbed my arms and pulled me up. We were far enough from the house for the other people to not hear me yell
but i honestly didn't think that i should scream at all. I strangely felt safe, but I was scared because they caught me. After a few moments they set me down on a tree stump.
"Hello and who are you." They said at the same time.
"Uh... I'm... I'm Cat..." I said slowly. The crossed their arms and looked at me. I pulled out my Flashlight and turned it on. I placed it facing up so they could see me
and I could see them. They were twins. They were tall and had matching ginger hair. Except one Twin's hair was a little darker. They smiled down at me and I blushed.
"Well hello Cat." They said again.
"I'm George." The darker haired twin said.
"And I'm Fred." The other twin said with a crooked smile.
"Where twins." They said again in unison.
"Well thank you captains obvious." They both laugh then smiled at me.
"Why were you hiding outside our house?" Fred asked.
"And why do you sound funny?" George finished.
"I was walking through the woods and came across your house and heard laughter. I walked forward wondering what was happening then you two walked out and caught me. Also the
reason i 'sound funny' is because im American." I answered crossing my arms at the last part.
"American? We have never been friends with a American!" George said smiling.
"Friends?" I asked.
"Yeah! Do you want to be friends?" Fred asked. I looked down and started to cry.
"Whats wrong?" They asked at the same time. "Did we hurt you somehow?"
"No... no... it's just... ive never... had... human... friends." I said crying more. They both sat on the stump each on one side and hugged me.
"Dont worry-" George said.
"-be happy." Fred finished.
They hugged me and i slowly stopped crying. "Thank you... I should be going soon. It's already past midnight and my mother would be coming to check on me soon."
They went awe and sighed. "Can we at least walk you home?" they asked. I nodded and we all stood up and started to walk towards where my house was. We walked for
about 10 minutes and i never realized how far i actually walked. We kept going then i saw the back of my house. My mother was just opening the back door when i
stopped and pulled the twins behind a tree.
"Cathy? CATHY? I KNOW YOUR OUT THERE!" My mother called.
"Who is that?" George whispered.
"My mom." I whispered back.
"Oh Merlin's Beard your in trouble." Fred said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because she is coming this way." He muffled a chuckle.
"Crap." I said. I held my breath and the twins gasped. "What?" I asked letting my breath out before taking in another one.
"Your... changing color to the color of the tree..." They said at the same time.
I let out my breath and nodded. "Yeah i know i do that sometimes... But shhhh." They shut up and pulled something out of their pocket then disappeared.
"Cathy. I know your around here. Your camo doesn't work on- why are there two boys with you?" My mother asked.
I let out my breath than slouched over. "Mom this is Fred and George... There strange like me!"
"Well they need to leave!" My mother said strictly. I sighed then turned around right when the twins re appeared.
"Sorry guys... I'll see you later?" They smiled but my mother but in.
"No you wont. I forbid you guys too be friends." She said then grabbed my arm. "Good bye." Then she pulled me away. The boys looked at me sadly and
i waved sadly back.
I guess me and having human friends was just not ment too be.
