Little Tori ran through the woods, gasping and wheezing for breath. She tripped on a tree root and fell to the ground. She spit mud out of her mouth as tears trickled down her cheeks. She tried to stand up, but her ankle was twisted so she fell to the ground again. She had to get away. Had to run. The full moon rose above the trees in the forest and illuminated on Tori.
The scar on her neck burned as she began a gruesome transformation. Her hands became paws, and her nails turned into claws. Her eyes changed from brown to emerald green. Her indigo hair lengthened to become fur and black stripes came into view. Her claws began to dig into the earth, her spit becoming a foam as she growled. Her tail swished back and forth as she became sick in a mud puddle. Oh where, where did her father go wrong?
--
Tori Tigra was walking behind her father as he was going to work. She grabbed her father's pant leg and stared into her father's eyes like a lost dog saying: Take me with you, please don't go.
"Tori, honey, please. I have to go to work." Her father said as he stared down at her with snake-like eyes.
"But Daddy," Pleaded Tori. "I want you to come with me on my first day to my new school."
"I thought Mommy was going to take you."
"Mommy is always busy with baby brother Dray." Tori said. "I don't want to have to bother her."
"It's ok Tori dear." He brushed the hair off her forehead and kissed her gently. "Daddy will come tomorrow for open house. I promise."
Tori then gave up. "Ok." She pouted. Tori's mother walked in with Tori's little brother Dray.
"Goodbye Orochimaru-kun." She said as she kissed his lips gently.
"Goodbye Morgan-chan." He said. "Goodbye Dray."
"Ba bay!" Dray squealed. Orochimaru smiled at his son and walked out the door. He turned around before he closed the door. "Goodbye my angel." He said to Tori. And with that, he shut the door.

Tori was walking home from school a week later with her girlfriends Lindsey and Jamie. They were listening to each other's iPods, Gossiping, and talking about boys.
"Hey, hey, did you ever hear what Miley Cyrus did with Nick Jonas?" Lindsey said.
"What?" Tori asked.
Lindsey muttered something to the two girls.
"Eww! No way!" Jamie squeals. "They did!?"
"I heard it strait from Spazzano and Sandy."
"They did what?" Tori still said confused.
"Oh Tori, you are so innocent." Jamie said.
"You guys suck." Tori said narrowing her eyes.
"Hey, watch the language!" Lindsey said. "We're only in third grade."
"Like your vocabulary is filled with words of Jesus."
"Shut it."
They walked on, singing to the song Come Clean by Hilary Duff until Jamie and Lindsey had to go the other way. They waved goodbye and Tori walked to her house.
She took her shoes off and went into the living room to watch some South Park. A little while later, she herd Dray cry. She waited awhile and then got up to see why Dray hadn't stopped crying yet.
She walked into the nursery and stopped dead. The walls were blood stained. Her mother's body was laying on the floor.
Tori slowly walked over to her mother and realized her stomach had been cut open. Tori became sick and backed into a corner, crying in hysterics.
Baby Dray still cried so she went to crawl over to the crib. Her heart was beating out of her chest, her body in a cold sweat. A lullaby from the mobile above her brother's bed was playing. It was just like a scary movie.
She grabbed onto the bars of the crib and pulled herself up and fell back down at the horror that was her little brother.
His eyes bled scarlet tears, and his body impaled with many kunai knifes flailed aimlessly around like an animal just wishing to die and get it over with. Then he shrieked like no human being she had ever herd shriek before, even in horror films. And then snakes came from out of out of his mouth.
Tori screamed until she thought her vocal cords would snap. She ran out of the house as fast as she could and into the shed in the woods in her backyard. When she walked in, her father was huddled in a corner with jars and doctor's tools. He turned around and grabbed Tori and pulled her into a hug.
"Tori, it's ok, everything will be fine." He stuttered. Tori just cried in hysterics. "Daddy needs you to do something for him, ok?"
"W-What?" Stammered Tori.
"I need you to stay perfectly still for Daddy." He said as he cut her neck with a scalpel and placed a strand of DNA into the cut with a pair of tweezers. Tori screamed like the apocalypse had come. He stitched up the cut and Tori ran from his arms. Away from the shed. Deep into the forest where she finally began the transformation.
She had caused rage and destruction in the forest that night. The forest had been obliterated and in flames. The people from the Hidden Ice Village had gathered around the body that now laid on the now falling snow. A child's body was bloody and crumpled in the snow. A doctor was checking her and looked up.
"She's not dead yet!" He shouted.
The villagers and doctors were making such a commotion that they didn't hear the three words that escaped her mouth as they placed her on a stretcher and put her in the ambulance. The three silent, cold words that came out in almost a hiss.
"…You…lied…Father…"
--
Tori lay on a bed in a nice heated room. After she had told Deidara and Sasori the story she had collapsed from distress and the Leader talked to them and put her in bed.
The Leader now sat next to Tori's bed and put his hand on her forehead and put a warm washcloth on her head.
"Poor Tori." He cooed. "To bad for you though. You're going to have to pick up the pace if you wish to survive here. For it is only the beginning."
