Chapter 1
Lost Girl
Coco Bandicoot sat by her windowsill with a saddened expression on her face. It was her mother's birthday, today and Coco's spiritday as well. She gave a heavy sigh when her older brother, Crash bounded into the room and yelled,
"Hiiiiiiii...uh?"
"Didn't you ever learn to knock?" said Coco never taking her eyes off the rising sun.
"Uh..." said her brother dumbfounded.
"Forget I even asked." said Coco.
"Ok, but why so glum?" he asked.
"It's my spiritday." she sighed.
"I know that but your supposed to be happy on your spiritday!" he said gleefully.
"Not if you're a female."
"Why not?"
"Because, of the ancient ways." said Aku Aku as he floated into the room.
"The which-ways? I'm confused." said Crash.
"The ancient ways," sighed Coco. "On people's spiritday the foundation for their destiny is laid. If you're a male you have to follow in your father's footsteps or start a legacy of your own. But if you're a female you have to follow your mother's footsteps or you're disowned by the family and your name is striped and you are forced to become a maid and midwife to a another family and banned from ever marrying or having children."
"That's a little harsh, isn't? But, you don't have to worry about that, Coco, if that's what you are worrying about. Because all you have to do is follow our mother's path." said Crash.
"That's the problem!" cried Coco. "We never knew our mother! So, I'm up the creek without a paddle!"
"Not exactly, Coco, in such circumstances the female is allowed 24 hours to find their destiny or become a "lost" girl." said Aku Aku. Coco's ears perked up at this sudden change of events. "Maybe, I have a chance after all." thought Coco.
"I'm going to Danni's to tell her the good news!" said Coco. Coco sprinted out the door to her room and down the stairs and skidded to halt at the entrance to the den. "Pura, no!" Coco shouted at the energetic cub but to no help for the young tiger cub bounded unto her master with harsh force, which knocked Coco off her feet. "Ok, ok you can come too." Coco grabbed a purple backpack and in it she put: her laptop and her mom's locket. After shouting her goodbyes, she set off for Danni's. "I wonder what my mother was like? I bet she was beautiful and brilliant." thought Coco. She began to have to pick her way through the forest because the underbrush was becoming thicker. Finally after about an hour of picking through the forest underbrush she emerged at Danni's hut. She and Pura wandered up and knocked on the door.
"Who's there?" said a sullen voice.
"Danni, it's Coco."
"Oh, c'mon in, mate."
"Hi," said Coco. "What's wrong?"
"It's mi spiritday, mate."
"Mine, too but you knew your mother didn't you?"
"Yeah, I knew mi mum, all righ' " said Danni stiffly.
"Well you're better off than me, 'cause I don't know my mom and have twenty-four hours to find out who she was." Coco said slumping into a chair.
"Well, I'm no better than you are! Because mi mom was a 'lost' girl when she had me and managed to hide me for about four years till she was caugh' and beheaded! So, I've got no choice but, ta keep serving the family she did." said Danni sadly.
"Well, not really, Danni because you have chance. Do you remember the family you served?" said Coco.
"Yeah, here." said Danni as she brought Coco a picture of a female bandicoot with blonde hair and emerald eyes smiling.
"Oh my, God! That's my mother!" Coco in disbelief...
