(Madoka's POV)
I played with a ball of yarn as I lied down on my back on the couch in the mansion. I was waiting for the twins with the rest of my sisters.
By the way, my name is Madoka Amano. I am fifteen years old and I live in a mansion in the city's forest along with my seven sisters. Of course, we aren't real sisters except for the twins. We've been friends our whole lives so we consider each other sisters.
My cat ears twitched and I sank my claws into the ball of yarn.
Oh, and I should mention that my sisters and I are Amalgams, human animal hybrids. You've seen anime girls that are part animal, right? Amalgams look like that. We are from another world and in the human world, we are just myths…or some type of anime character. We would normally be in our half animal, half human forms. We would be full humans, though, if there are other humans around.
I am the sweet girly-girl of the group and my animal is the bobcat. Hikaru Hasama, the spunky tomboy, is the fox. Elyana Thorn, the hyper sweet-lover, is part monkey. Mayra Skai is the quiet artist and her animal is the falcon. Cheri Coral is the fashionable matchmaker and her animal is the swan. Yin Song is the mischievous performer and her animal is the butterfly. Zakia Phlox is the wise bookworm and her animal is the gazelle. Finally, Leanna Phlox, Zakia's twin sister, is the gothic huntress and her animal is the lioness.
"Where are they?" Elyana asked. She was eating a cookie. "The twins are hardly ever late."
As if by magic, the door slung open and slammed close. A seething Leanna came into the room followed by an exasperated Zakia who was trying to calm her sister down.
"Next time I see that girl, I am going to give her a bruise to match her ugly face and her ugly personality!" Leanna growled as she leaned on the couch I was on.
The rest of us sighed. I thought: Not again.
"Leanna, Amore isn't worth the time," Zakia said soothingly. "We should be focused on tonight. It's a new moon."
Leanna sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I guess. We should go right now. It's nearly sundown."
We all nodded and walked out the back of the mansion. The sky was a mixture of pink and orange. Using our animal abilities, we went to our secret place. Cheri, Mayra, and Yin flew and weaved between the trees. Elyana swung and jumped from tree to tree. Hikaru, the twins, and I just ran.
In a few minutes, we reached a valley. The valley had fresh grass, a large lake that was reflecting the sun's rays, some Sakura and willow trees, and bushes of flowers. It was isolated from humans since it is so deep in the forest but my sisters and I come here every new moon to change.
You may be wondering what 'change' means and possibly why as well. You'll see soon.
The sun began to set. In a few minutes, the blazing orb of flames disappeared and the sky was now an empty black void. We began to glow. I felt my body shifting and my bones cracking. My clothes morphed into fur and began to grow all over my body. My teeth sharpened and my hands turned into small paws. The painful change seemed slow but I knew it was only a few seconds.
The glowing stopped. Right in our place were eight animals.
Cheri ruffled her feathers and began to swim in the lake. "Ugh, I wish the change wouldn't be so painful," she said. "Even after nine years, I want to change into this form willingly and without pain."
"It's not too bad," Hikaru said. "At least we don't faint anymore."
"I like it," Leanna added. (Of course she will.)
This is 'changing'. You know how werewolves change in the full moon? Well, we change in the new moon. We turn into our full animal form. I should have mentioned this earlier but Amalgams have three forms: animal, hybrid, and human. I think the forms are self-explanatory. Right now, we are in animal forms.
In the human world, there is no way for Amalgams to transform unless we have a magic item to aid us. That will be our necklaces that the twin's mother entrusted Leanna in keeping safe until we arrived here nine years ago. If you came into the human world in animal form, you'll be stuck as animal. If you came in human form, you'll be human. In hybrid form, you can choose between the two since hybrid form does not have a stable DNA system in the human world.
But no gift comes free.
We can shift between our human and hybrid forms easily and painlessly. When it comes to our animal form, it's a bit painful and we have no control in changing during new moons. That's why we have this secret spot that we can change in without being noticed or heard by people in the city.
Yin, who was two times bigger than your average monarch butterfly, fluttered in the night wind and landed on an evening primrose. Since she is an insect and very small, she talks to us through thoughts.
"We have to complete the quest to able to do that, Cheri," Yin said.
"I know that," Cheri sighed.
"I wonder how much longer until it actually starts," Zakia wondered. She stomped her gazelle hooves on the floor. "I'm worried."
"I hope nothing too complicated will get in the way," Mayra said in her voice that might as well be a whisper. It seemed ironic that her animal is a falcon when she is so timid and quiet.
Elyana jumped up and down and swung her monkey tail wildly. "Don't worry, you guys! We should be on guard but we shouldn't over-worry or we might go ill! What will we do then?"
Leanna went up to a moon flower and smelled it. Her bright white fur stood out in the darkness. "We should be in top shape and not get ill like Elyana said. We will never know what might happen and you know what happens when we get too ill."
We all winced, mainly Mayra. When we get too sick, we change from form to form inconstantly and without warning. Luckily, we heal faster than humans because we have both human and animal DNA and magic.
"You know—" Zakia began to say but Leanna interrupted her.
"Hide," Leanna hissed. Yin buried herself a little deeper into the flower she was in. Cheri swam to the middle to the lake where she would be hidden from view. Mayra and Elyana went up a Sakura tree. The rest of us hid in the leafy curtains of a weeping willow.
Right after we hid ourselves, rays of light appeared on the east entrance. Eight boys holding flashlights came in. They had a look of curiosity etched on their faces.
"Who are they?" Mayra thought to us.
"Whoever they are, they found our hidden spot!" Cheri shouted mentally. "What will we do?"
"Relax," the twins said in sync. "We are in our animal forms so it's nothing weird. They don't have bad auras so we should just stay put until they leave."
"Alright," we said.
We watched them walk up to the cherry blossom tree Elyana and Mayra were in and sat down. It's a good thing I have sensitive hearing and it was dead quiet in the valley.
"This place is pretty cool," said the one with ebony black hair and sapphire blue eyes. "It's a good thing we stumbled into this place."
"It's a good thing we escaped those girls," growled the one with spikey green hair and blue eyes with scars under them. "What is up with them?"
"What was up with that girl that almost kissed you, Yo-Yo?" the youngest said who looked to be Elyana's age, if not, a little older. He had orange-yellow hair and light green eyes.
"Don't call me Yo-Yo," the green haired snapped. Then he shook his head. "That girl was crazy. What was her name? Armor or something?"
"I think it was Amore Moon," the one with long silver hair said. "I believe she's the daughter of Alicia and Charles Moon, the two models."
Leanna growled quietly in her throat. Even if our telepathy isn't on right now, I could tell she is cussing that snobby rich girl out.
"She looked like she belonged in a night club," the one with flaming red hair commented. "Her clothes are at least a size or two smaller than she really is."
The green haired guy just growled.
"How do we get out of this place anyways?" the lilac haired boy asked.
"We could go back the way we came from," said the boy with black hair with white highlights and a single red strand of hair.
"Does anyone actually remember the path we took?" the Egyptian-looking boy asked. "We didn't exactly follow a path…"
They fell silent after that.
Leanna sniffed the air and her eyes narrowed. "It's about to rain. And by how my senses are tingling, it's going to be quite a storm."
"We should head back," Hikaru said.
"What about those boys?" Elyana asked. "We can't just leave them here."
"Elyana is right," I said. "They might get hurt or really sick. They might get even more lost if they try to escape the forest when the storm hits. They are lucky that they didn't get attacked by the wild animals here."
Leanna sighed. "I'm guessing all of you agree on that?" We nodded. Leanna groaned. "Fine. We'll take them to the mansion. We only have twenty minutes until the storm hits and that's how long it will take to get there if the boys are hesitant."
That surprised us. I thought she would have wanted us to lead them out of the forest. Leanna sensed our surprise and rolled her eyes. "Like I said, we only have twenty minutes. If we lead them back out, we'll be hit by the storm. Yin and Mayra won't be able to fly and the rest of us will have some difficulty."
We nodded. Elyana and Mayra jumped down from their hiding spot, surprising the boys.
"A monkey!" the youngest one shouted.
"Why is it with a falcon?" the silver haired asked.
Then Yin fluttered out and landed on the lilac haired one's shoulder. "Well, hello," he said as he took her in his finger. "I have never seen a butterfly this huge."
Cheri, Hikaru, and I went next. The black haired one looked at all of us. "Their eyes are not normal. This fox's eyes are purple. The swan's is pink. The monkey is red-orange. I don't think that is normal."
"It's not," the flaming red headed one said.
Finally, Zakia trotted out with Leanna following her. Leanna eyed the boys with suspicion and her body was tense like she was going to hunt them down.
"A gazelle and a lioness," the Egyptian one pointed out.
"A lioness?" the green haired one said, interested, and he pointed his flashlight at them. "The lioness has silver eyes and the gazelle's eyes are a blue-grey color. Alex is right, their eyes aren't normal. Maybe except for the blue and brown eyes the falcon and cat has."
"Why are these animals here and why hasn't the lioness attacked?" the black haired, Alex, asked.
"Hey, check this out," the youngest said.
"What is it, Yu?" the silver haired asked.
"They have necklaces around their necks," Yu said as he pointed at Elyana's red-orange talisman.
"Then that means they are tamed," the Egyptian said. "Kyoya, why do you think they are here?"
Kyoya shrugged. "How should I know? Is it just me or is that lioness glaring at me?"
We all turned to Leanna and indeed, she was glaring. She snarled. The boys jumped back but we understood. There was no time for any more talk.
I took some of the ginger headed boy's sleeve (he was closest) and pulled gently. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"Gingka, I think it wants something," the black hair with white highlight said.
"Like what, Masamune?" Gingka asked.
Leanna roared, grabbing the boys' attention. She nodded towards the south entrance. It was the entrance that led to the mansion. The boys stared blankly at her.
Leanna rolled her eyes and nudged Kyoya's back, hard.
"OW!" he shouted as he arched his back. "What they hell? Are you smiling at me?"
"Lions can't smile," the lilac haired said.
"No, I really think it is smiling, Hyoma," the Egyptian said. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait, no, it's smirking."
Leanna really was smirking. "You're right, Nile," Hyoma said, a little freaked out. "It looks almost evil."
Once again, Kyoya shouted. This time, Leanna hit his back with her paw, luckily without scratching him. "What is wrong with you?"
Leanna just got up, pointed her nose at the sky, and then walked off to the entrance. Hikaru and I pulled Gingka's and Alex's sleeves then the rest of us followed her. I heard the boys getting up and running to catch up with us. Finally.
Leanna began to run and so did we. Mayra, Yin, and Cheri flew faster. The boys luckily caught the hint and ran with us. In ten minutes, we reached the porch of the mansion just as it began to rain.
"That's why you guys wanted us to follow," Gingka said, a bit sheepish. "That really was obvious."
Leanna snorted and we shook our heads. Kyoya asked, "What do we do now? Ring the doorbell? And why is that still lioness glaring at me?"
I watched as Kyoya and Leanna had a short glaring match before he turned away. Leanna, smirking, went through the doggy door that we set up. Elyana followed her while the rest of us waited.
In a few seconds, the door opened, revealing Elyana who was holding the doorknob. We all went in.
The boys closed the door and stood amazed at our home. "Whoa," they gasped.
The place wasn't much. Once you enter the house, the first room you come into is the ballroom. (Why we have ballroom, I have no idea.) The floor was a golden color with silver flowers decorating it and the walls were a bright bronze. On the ceiling was a pure gold chandelier with actual normal and black diamonds. There were twin staircases at the back that led to a large platform ten feet off the ground and a door underneath the stairs. That door led to the family room.
"Should we even be here?" Hyoma asked. "Isn't this trespassing?"
We shook our heads, making them look at us with surprised looks. "You understand us?" Masamune asked. We nodded again. "So cool!"
Zakia stomped her front left hoof and we led them to the family room. It was adorned with white carpeting, peach walls, eight red and white couches, and a TV that took up an entire wall. There was a shelf next to the TV that held every game, movie, and game console ever created.
"This place is amazing!" Yu shouted.
"Why are we here?" Tsubasa asked. I could tell he was surprised too but was trying to hide it.
Cheri pointed her wing at a window. Rain was pouring down like daggers and lightning struck every minute or so.
"You are letting us stay here until the storm goes away?" Gingka said but more like asked.
We nodded. Elyana and Leanna, who left earlier to get blankets and pillows, came back with said items in their hands or back. The boys took them and each took a couch to sleep on. "Thanks," they said.
Kyoya turned to Leanna. "If you animals can really understand us, where are your owners?"
Leanna just smirked and pointed at the door with her paw. Kyoya raised an eyebrow. "Out?" he guessed.
Leanna nodded and gave him a look that clearly said: Well, duh!
"You really have an attitude."
Leanna turned her head away from him.
Kyoya glared again. "I swear you act like a human!" (I held back my snigger when he said that.)
"Dude, you're arguing with an animal," Gingka told him with a small smirk.
"Oh, shut up." Kyoya glared.
We all got ready for bed. After a short conversation, the girls and I decided to sleep here just in case something happens. Leanna glared at each boy, making sure they saw, before going over to a corner and lied down. She didn't close her eyes and instead watched the boys with caution. The boys did their best to ignore her while the rest of us sweat-dropped.
I stretched and yawned. I circled around on the floor, went into a position like a ball, and fell asleep.
I felt like the ending was a bit boring. Oh well. Was this chapter good, bad, or average? Please review!
By the way, their outfits are what they wear in Metal Fury except Hikaru whose outfit is from Metal Fusion. If you want to know what my OCs wear, check my profile. I'm a bit lazy to write them all in and I'm not sure what the best way to put it in.
