::Tail 2::
When first her eyes had opened, she had been filled with wonder.
Before, she had found herself, at odd moments, with the feeling that she had already done things. Her life, up 'till that point, had consisted mainly of begging for meals and playing and mock-fighting with her equally blind litter-mates. Then her eyes had opened.
The world became a new place; full of color and light. Not long after that, their dam took them out of the den. She had smelled Outside before, of course, but now, for the first time, she was experiencing it first-hand.
It was the most wonderful thing she'd ever anticipated. She loved to go Outside and tumble and wrestle with her litter-mates. They were playing in just such a manner the day she found the strange-smelling, round, shiny, entity.
She sniffed, carefully; the scent was vaguely familiar, something she'd smelled before, the way she'd felt she'd done things before, prior to her eyes opening. Cautiously, she approached the glinting object, wary of the vicious looking teeth. Eventually, when she was sure it wouldn't suddenly attack, she began to move just a little bit closer.
She jumped in surprised shock when she heard a sharp snap, and immediately connected the sound with the searing pain in her leg. Yelping she tried to pull her self free, but struggle as she might, her efforts did nothing to alter her situation.
A few days later her predicament was the same, save that now hunger pinched her belly, as well as the torment of her captured leg. As the world began to turn dark, she remembered where she had smelled the scent on the trap, for that's what it was, before.
She had smelled it last time she'd died, too.

Fairy-chan: Well...
Devil-chan: Yeah...
Angel-chan: ::Outraged:: How could you be so mean?! That's horrible! Animal-abuser!
Devil-chan: She's gotta've had a pretty horrible past, repeatedly, to become a demon though, don't you think? I mean, I really like pieces with kyubi, male or female, so it's not like I want to torture her! Well, OK, maybe just a little.
Angel-chan: You horrible person! ::Sobs::
Fairy-chan: ::Rolls eyes:: Anyway, that's it, I guess... Ja.
Devil-chan: Yeah, ja minna-san!
Angel-chan: ::Still sobbing:: Ja ne!
