The Story of me Chapter 3
I woke up the next morning, the cold breeze piercing through my fur. It was so cold, I needed to find some shelter. Eventually, after walking for a good twenty minutes, I made it to the woods. It was pretty thick, but I still managed to walk through the brush without any problem. I was walking pretty fast and I wasn't paying attention. I ran right into something hard, it didn't feel right. I rubbed my head and stood up. There, standing in front of me was a miracle. The miracle that if it hadn't of ran into it, I probably would have died. I walked around to the other side to look for the door. When I reached it, it was locked. Not really a surprise of course, as it was in the middle of the woods. But I was so hungry, cold and tired. I just couldn't stand it anymore. I managed to pick the lock off and get the old wood door open. When I walked inside, the first thing I saw was the mess. This place was all dirty and disgusting. Nowhere near what I was used to coming from wealth. It would definitely take time to get this place back into shape. But who knows how much time it would be before I'd find my family.
It had been a week since I had arrived at the cabin, I had managed to clean the place up a bit. I even made myself a small little makeshift bed too. There was only one little problem, food, I didn't have any, I have been living off of berries and drinking collected rain water. The berry vines were running low, I had to make a decision. And the idea that came to mind really didn't sit well. If I was going to survive, I was going to have to steal supplies. I had made up my mind, tomorrow I would head out to town and get whatever I needed.
The Next day
If I could describe how I felt about what I was about to do, it would feel like this. Horrible, and disgusted with myself. My parents had always taught me that stealing was wrong. I learned this the hard way when I was only five years old. I had stolen some candy from one of the traveling merchants. And let's just say that when my parents found out, they were not happy at all. I was grounded for what felt like an eternity. But here I stand, just two years later about to do the same thing again. But what choice did I have, if I didn't do this, I would die.
"Thank you for your patronage" I heard the Chansey say.
I knew chansey well, she was always one of my parent's favorite traveling merchants. She always had the best treats. And here I was, about to steal from one of the nicest ladies alive. I snuck around to the back of her tent, I knew she wouldn't be paying attention. The back panel was slightly open. Too small for a full grown thief maybe, but not me. When I went inside, I could smell the scent of some sort of exotic berries. But that was not what I was looking for, you see, she always headed out to marine resort, so always had one of a waters types golden berry, (or mine at least) the Waccan berry. I looked around for quite a while until I finally found what I was looking for. I didn't take too many, she had about 20 in stock, and I took five. Before I left I made sure to grab some apples, rope and some other essentials before I left the way I came.
I knew I could live off these goods for a while, but it still didn't feel right. I had done something bad, but then another part of me felt as if there was nothing to it. When I got back to the cabin, the sun was beginning to set. I quickly went inside and noticed I was low on firewood. It was ok though, I had enough for tonight at least. I would just go steal some tomorrow.
Two years later
I'm now 9 years old, Stealing seemed to become easier over time. Now I can steal and not feel a simple bit of guilt. Of course I'd never steal anything of extreme value. Everything I still is so that I can live another day. I have made really good progress on the cabin. There is not one spot of dirt or clutter. That's another trait I get from my mother. Even when I was very little, I always had to know that all my toys were in a specific order. Even now, in my cabin, even the slightest bit of disorganization sends me over the deep end. I have acquired some book over the year, well, stole them to be exact. About a few months ago there was a book selling merchant, He had some good titles on him, I keep hoping he will come back. Wait, what am I saying? I stole for no purpose of entertainment value, it seems as if living on your own really does change you. It doesn't matter though. I still haven't stolen anything of great value, I know that its wrong ok, but I just can't help it anymore.
It was early in the morning when I went into town, I wanted to see what merchants would be in before they actually set up shop. That way I knew every single possible exit and entrance. One shop in particular really intrigued me. The sign read Kyles antiques, the shelves were black with red velvet covering them. Whoever owned this tent surely liked to show off. That meant that they may have some interesting material. Unfortunately, there didn't appear to be any possible entry. I went around the back to see if maybe there would be one small opening. But before I could, someone grabbed me from behind.
"And just where you are going squirt." He yelled at me
"I'm just looking around the place, its new to me." I whispered in return
"Yeah right, I know what you were going to do, and let me tell you something, If I see you try to steal from my boss, I will break your neck, understand" He screamed
At that point he swung me around, there standing before me was a giant machoke. I was so scared I couldn't even talk. I just nodded in return. He put me down on the ground and told me to scram. And believe me, he didn't have to tell me twice. I ran so fast I almost fell ten times. It would be a long time before I ever showed my face in that crazy town again. Once again it seemed as if I'd resort to berries again. But you see this wasn't a problem anymore. I had planted several berry trees around the cabin just for this reason. This time I was prepared, At least, that's what I thought at the time. Little did I know, things were going to get a lot crazier than ever before?
End of Chapter 3
The story may be good or bad all I know is I enjoy writing it. I know I have been off for a while, but I will try to write as much as possible. As I said on my bio, AM I JUST YOUR TOOL is done, I will not continue it. She seems perfect chapter 3 is halfway done. Probably be up today or tomorrow. I also have something to do over the next two weeks. I will try to keep up, but we'll see. I will be beginning a sly story and a new gumball story soon. Check my profile for any information regarding stories. And thanks to those who revived to help me make my stories better.
