So lately I have been having a taste for Cheshire cats... the mysterious, amazing felines who don't have a lick of understanding for any of the world's laws; human or otherwise. I've seen stories where Harry Potter becomes a Cheshire cat, so I decided to try my hand at a Cheshire Cat story... Enjoy! ^^

Cheshire Cats have been cropping up through the ages, whether through being born as a Cheshire or becoming one, they have always caused chaos wherever they appear. Whenever an area becomes too calm, or there is a drawn out stand still between warring sides a Cheshire cat will make an appearance. Either way they will set in motion a chain reaction toward a chaotic future.

Cheshire cats have been known to both inspire and destroy ideas through the ages. Yet, the only true recorded account of a Cheshire Cat was "Alice in wonderland" and its many adaptations. Cheshire cats can either be from humans or cats. Either can be born a Cheshire, but only a human can become one. The most powerful Cheshires are humans who became a Cheshire though.

Now you may wondering ' how can someone BECOME a Cheshire Cat,' Right? Well it's quite boring just TELLING you don't you think? And we Cheshires can't stand a dull moment! So let me tell you my tale, and maybe some more if you like!

I am Xiao, a Cheshire Cat!

Where to begin though... I guess the beginning will do!

It all started when I was about a year and a half old... A madman tried to kill me and my family. He nearly succeeded too! If it hadn't been for my mother's skills, I would have died then and there! Although I don't know what she did, it set me on the path to a family that was really rather unpleasant... although I hated living with those creatures, I wouldn't have become what I am today without going to that place if I hadn't.

When I was about five or six I was kicked out of the house like usual to do the yard work. I had just received a mild beating, so I couldn't move my arms how I would have liked nor could I stand... after some time of pulling out weeds, I saw a light shine out of the corner of my eye. When I looked up, I saw a crimson ribbon hanging of a branch just barely within my reach. Hanging off the ribbon was a large golden bell. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the bell. I reached out for the bell, yet couldn't actually grab it. I batted at like how I saw miss Figs cats do when they tried getting things off the table. After a few swats the bell fell right next to me.

I then picked up the ribbon that the bell was on, and tied it around my neck. I have no idea where my need to put on the collar came from, but I don't regret it... Although, it was VERY painful after I tied it around my neck! It felt like I took several kicks to the head from Vernon along with a severe spanking. To top it of was the feeling of my arms being crushed. The combined feelings made me pass out quickly at least...

When I next awoke, I saw that I was in a room with mirrors lining the walls and pillars separating the mirrors. My body felt better than it had ever felt! I felt like I could stand so with the help of a pillar I pulled myself up to a standing position.

I couldn't help but notice how my hands looked different though... My fingers all ended with white claws. When I was at my full height, I looked at my reflection. The first thing I noticed was that my right eye was a bright crimson color, while the left was its natural emerald color. Then I looked at the hair, which looked almost entirely different. Rather than the messy curled mess it was before it was now in straight spikes pointing in nearly every direction. It was black with red highlights and was topped with CAT ears. I was awed by the change but not too much to NOT look at the rest of my reflection. The tail black swishing behind me did help to grab my attention. The white tip was ( And still is) hypnotic. After I lost interest, I looked up to see someone else in the mirror.
