Lisy: I'm adding Anilegna/Angelina's history in here.
The teen soon became aware of firey eyes burning into the back of her head. She spun around-and came face to face with a demonic, red-eyed Pteri! She gave a small shriek and hurled the lamp at it. This move, however, only intensified the glow of the eyes. Covering her face, she tried to avert her gaze. But she found that she could not. Slowly, she sank to her knees. "No," she whimpered, "Cutie, no!" But the Pteri only continued his monstrous gaze, and she thought she heard a Shoyru laughing...and then all was black. And she heard the hiss in her ear... I am Maju now, fool.
"Heh, so I was unneeded," snarled Anilegna. She gave a small, odd grin. "Can we do my owner next? I hate him! He is the reason for my mutated face!" Her half-melted eyes filled with tears of indignation as she remembered...
/Flashback/
"Angelina! We're going to the factory tour today!" A laughing, golden-haired male leapt towards the door, and his Uni followed hestitantly. She was not so sure about this. After all, it produced toxic waste. Wouldn't that be dangerous?
Her suspicions proved correct. When they arrived, all was well. They followed the Chia tour guide as he led them to the main processing plant. He pointed out the giant vat of bubbling liquid. Suddenly, it exploded without warning! Angelina leapt in front of her master to protect him, and felt her face skin stung. She cried, and sank to the ground. The last thing she saw beforeshe lost complete unconciousnesswas the Chia tour guide running for his life as if the armies of Sloth were after him.
She awoke in a cramped, small cage. A scowling Techo with white hair looked down at her. He tossed a small packet of dried food at her. She looked at it, opened it, sniffed it, and turned away, sticking her tongue out in disgust. Why was she here anyways? Wasn't it the pound? She saw a clipboard and mirror on one wall. She pulled the clipboard down and looked at it.
Full Name: Angelinaballerina
Short Name: Angelina
Old Owner: popohedshunny
Stats: Weak
Reason for Abandoning: Acids eaten away at face, no longer beautiful
Note: Acid eating could have been lessened if owner had applied medicine
She was confused until she looked in the mirror. Her face was practically unrecognizable. With a cry of disgust, pain, and fury, she pulled the mask lying in a corner of the cage over her face, and thought to the note. I will be avenged, she thought in fury. My owner shall pay.
/End flashback/
Anilegna looked around. "Tell me,is next?"
Maju nodded. "It shall be as you wish, my twisted one. He shall perish!" And then she tilted her head to the waning moon, and laughed, a high and cruel laugh. Anilegna laughed as well, and thethree malesfollowed suit after a moment of hesitation. After all, it might have been a matter between the females alone. But they did not mind. Not at all.
The teen sighed as he leaned back in the old, creaky rocking chair. A Faerie Jubjub sat next to him, licking an ice-cream cone. He grinned at it. "Do you want anything else?" he asked kindly. If he was to raise a good Beauty Contest contestant, he'd need to keep the pet happy at all times.
"Oh, no thanks. But owner, you are so good to me. Do you have a reason?"
"A reason? I want you to be happy!" In his mind, he added, And I want you to win the Beauty Contest! Win! Win! WIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
A pounding of hooves on the sidewalk caused both owner and pet to look up. There, standing in all her former glory, was his old pet, Angelina! He didn't know how, but she had somehow returned to her original, beautiful form. Her sky-blue horn spiraled delicately above her head, reaching out towards the evening sky. Her sapphire eyes sparkled in the setting sun. Her creamy mane fluttered in the wind, and her mouth was curved upwards in a beautiful smile. She stepped towards him. "Do you remember me? Perhaps you don't. I see you've found a replacement-"
"I do love you, my darling Angelina! Did you see the clipboard? It is a lie! I love you, and I always will! You were gone when I got to the pound, so I got her to remember you!" He ran towards her, arms open in anticipating embrace. Angelina moved closer, and suddenly kicked out with her front hooves, catching him hard in the neck. He cried out once, stumbled, and fell. She smirked and turned her head towards the Jubjub, who had dropped her ice-cream cone and was backing towards the frontdoor in fear. She watched as the Unipulled down her face-no, it was a mask! Her face was mutated! Even her eyes were abnormal! The Jubjub cried out as the hooves rose over her, and then came down, catching her hard in the head.
"Farewell, foolish pet, who let your owner change your appearance." And the horn came down; blood splattered over Anilegna's face. With a sigh, she turned and walked away, pausing to wash her face and front hooves in a nearby stream. She vaguely remembered her owner taking her there when she was a young Uni... She had splashed and played, been so happy-NO! She could not remember those times! She needed no owner! She quickly spread her wings and flew, far away from this place and the memories. She wanted no memories!
"Anilegna, why do you fly so fast? Does something trouble you?" Set seemed to appear out of nowhere, as was his specialty. He churred softly in concernas he gave her a look.
"No, Set, not at all..."
"I can tell, Anilegna! These red eyes do not only hyptonize! You have something troubling within your mind..."
"Fine, Set. It is the memories of this place. As I washed the blood of the petin a stream, I remembered playing there in my youth."
"Anilegna! You swore a vow! Are you going to break it?"
"I am sorry." She hung her head, deeply ashamed. "I should not be thinking these things. I stand alone!" She tossed her head back, and her tattered mane blew in the wind.
Sorry for not updating, I was trying to get at least 1000 words per chapter. But now, I have it! Read and enjoy!
