Piper
Mukki
Piper threw herself down on her bed and sobbed. She felt awfully like a spoilt brat, but it simply wasn't fair! It was the look of disappointment in her dad's eyes that hurt more than the fact that he was sending her away to some so-called wilderness school that hurt the most.
Mukki snuggled under her arm in his squirrel form before freezing, and shifting into the form of a bird. He chirped in surprise and glanced up at Piper, who wiped her eyes and laughed, stretching out her finger to stroke his blue feathers. She recognised the bird as a blue jay, which was strange but nice.
"Is this it, Mukki?" she asked. Her daemon chirped.
"I think it is," he replied, and she laughed through the tears, the taste of snot in her mouth.
Mukki is a blue jay.
