New Faces
The feline made her way across plains and hills until she reached a mountain which had a town nestled down in the low valley. It had been a week since she had arrived in this erratic world.
Cyber City: Welcome A large blinking sign read in Gold in Blue.
"Time to pay a visit." She said and stopped out of the cities limits. She walked into the roughly new cyber-based city, all kinds of lights radiating off of the buildings. She stepped through the street holding her purple crystal to her neck. She caught a glimpse of herself in a reflective window. She had on black slacks and a dark brown tube top; this complemented the cream, brown, and almost yellow spots on her fur. She looked down at her feet which fit into black high-heeled pumps. She worked on softening her eyes before entering a jewelry shop.
"Ummm…let's see, I want that one." A pink hedgehog in a pink dress was standing at the counter as an impatient manager tapped his foot. "No…wait… That one."
"May I suggest…" The large red bird with thin spectacles, the manager, tried to cut in.
"Wait, I definitely want that one." She pointed to a large light blue bracelet. The jeweler picked it up and handed it to her as she dropped coins into his hand. She placed it beside a gold one already on her arm. Smiling she turned and brushed past the feline at the door, their eyes meeting briefly. She gave the ocelot a quick smile and walked out of the door without a second glance.
"May I help you?" The manager's somber voice inquired as the cat stepped forward. She removed the necklace from around her neck and placed it on the counter before him.
"If you can break this I will give you any shards of it you want." The feline's alto silver voice cut the air like a knife.
"Name?" The jeweler /manager asked as he ruffled his feathers.
"Shivra Feline." Shiva answered as her heart skipped a beat, hoping for the best.
"I'm sorry!" The jeweler called out after her. Shiva had replied that everything would be okay, but in leaving the store she had a horrible scowl on her face.
Of course he would not be able to destroy it…what was I thinking! The cat thought solemnly marching down another street the crystal radiating red against her chest. She rubbed her hands together and her tail twitched back and forth in frustration. The sun had risen already and it was about two o'clock when she found a hover car. Quickly she paid a small fee and slammed her foot on the gas pedal.
