Amu's point of view

'Why? Why am I running?' I slowly jumped I went higher and higher and just kept on rising until I reached the top of a fence.

'Huh? A lock?' a large silver lock was in front of me the shape was four diamond hearts connected by the tips with a small keyhole in the center of the glowing diamonds. 'I know this shape, it's my lock it's the humpty lock' I moved towards the lock and tried to open it

"The key, to enter you must have the key"

"Where is it, where is my key?"

"No not your key his key, the one who can open your heart is not you it is him"

"Who?"

"I am a brass lock I have a brass key, I am a gold lock I have a gold key, I am a silver lock I have a silver key, you are a humpty lock…" the voice stopped and awaited my answer

"He is a dumpty key…"

I opened my eyes and looked around. My pillow was still under my head, but as usual my blanket was stolen by the figure beside me.

"Mika you stole the blanket again!" I whined as I shook the small raccoon back to life. He looked up, yawned, and stretched his back then slowly circled around his pillow three times then lazed back down; his expression threatening to fall back asleep.

"Oh, no you don't!" my long fingers wrapped around his tiny body, I pulled him up and kissed his forehead. He squirmed a bit then closed his eyes and nuzzled his face into my shirt. His forehead hitting the small lock around my neck. I smiled then stood up letting my long legs feel the cool breeze. I put on my shorts and climbed out of the tent.

The first step of the morning was cold. It was still dark and the grass was wet from the rain last night. I inhaled the fresh air. I closed my eyes and I could smell the forest, the sharp smell of the pine trees, the sweet smell of the poppies, the clean smell of the lake, and the fresh smell of wet grass. I could have stayed like this forever, but I was interrupted by a small squeaking and tiny footsteps on my arm.

"Good morning Rene." I said to the squirrel perched on my shoulder. The small brown creature squeaked and smiled then jumped off my shoulder onto a branch and crawled inside a small hole. When she came out she had some berries in her arms and nuts in her cheeks. She jumped back on my shoulder and dropped the berries onto Mika who had cuddled up in my arms. He grabbed all the berries and stuffed them in his mouth, then jumped onto the ground and began to eat. Rene ran down my arm and jumped down onto the ground next to Mika and started to eat the nuts she had brought out.

I smiled softly then walked over to the lake. I sat on the edge of the bank and put my feet into the blue water. It was cold but it still felt good on my skin. I sunk all the way in, allowing my shorts and t shirt to get wet. I sat there for a few minutes and watched the sun rise, then stood up and walked back over to my two animal friends, who had already finished their breakfasts and had began rummaging through my clothes looking for an outfit for me. Rene grabbed a towel and climbed up my back then draped it over my shoulders.

"Thank you" I said patting her head. I undressed and put on the outfit Mika had chose for me, though it was my school uniform and I wore it almost every day, he still took the time to pull it out for me and pick out some accessories. It was a red Plaid skirt, a button up shirt, knee high socks, and a black jacket. He also pulled out a pair or black heels that went about half way to my knees, a pair of stud earrings and a black choker. After I was done changing Mika came to me with a black ribbon in his mouth, his copper eyes looked at me begging. "Okay" I sighed. He crawled up my leg and onto my back, and then he grabbed a small portion of my bubblegum pink hair and braided it while twisting the ribbon into the braid leaving out just enough to tie off my hair with a bow.

"Okay" I said "I got to get going!" Mika nodded and hopped off my back then I heard Rene squeak. I turned and she hopped on my neck then fastened a necklace around my neck that had an 'a' pendant on it. "Thanks" I said a she too hopped off my back. I smiled quickly and walked off towards the trail. Once I got to the trail I followed it left for about five minutes and walked up to the road which was busy with cars bicycles and other students on their way to school. I followed behind the others alone and quiet like I normally am. Up through the smog and noise, up to the huge castle like building where I went to school. To you this morning might seem busy and long but to me it was just another day of high school.
