The amazing adventures of Chappie the pet Tyranid Zoanthrope.

Chapter 1(Chap)

Very few beings are crazy enough to try to keep a Tyranid Zoanthrope as a family pet, and fewer still survive the ill advised endeavour. They are dangerous, ill tempered, greedy, lazy, amoral and vicious creatures, and that's just on a good day.

One such person who is both crazy enough and has the means to acquire such a creature is the Gamma level Tzeentch sorceress TigerLily Sevenson, the consort of a Night Lords chaos lord.

For the sake of chronology, this story is set immediately after "Sisters in Slavery", as the chronicles of TigerLily are extremely long and the subject of multiple other books. This book is solely about TigerLily's pet Zoanthrope, from it's own point of view. Enjoy.

"Try all you like, you are just wasting your time," the voice said.

Chappie tried to obliterate the speaker with a blast of psychic power out of annoyance, but the thought was blocked by something before it could become actions. Something was wrong...

"Stop trying to kill me Chappie, the surgeons put bionic behavioural inhibitors in your brain. You are now incapable of harming any non-microscopic living thing." The irritating voice chided him.

Chappie experimentally tried blasting a random wall. The warp flowed through him effortlessly and a huge hole melted into the metal wall, causing a raging fire in the room. Chappie then aimed at the head of the creature irritating him and tried the same thing, but once again the action was blocked. Something was wrong...
