~Disclaimer and stuff~
Hello there!
Sorry it's been so long since I first posted. College exams and such just came out of nowhere!
I actually had this written a while ago, but I accidentally deleted it and just now got around to re-writing it.
One of my New Year's Resolutions will be to update more often!
Hope you enjoy and have a Merry Christmas/ Happy Holiday :D
~I don't own Kingdom Hearts!~
"GET OUT OF HERE YOU MUTT!" an angry bartender with a red face yelled as he shoved a hooded figure out of the door of his establishment. Her hood slid back as Tamrin stumbled into a dirty puddle on the hard cobblestone street. "Can't you read?" he asked with a cruel smirk as he pointed to a sign that hung in the window.
It read,"NO ANIMALS ALLOWED." Similar signs had accumulated in the windows of restaurants and shops all over the town in the years that Tamrin had been in Blackstone.
He looked down as he towered over the girl. "Don't let me catch you in here again," he growled before slamming the door and leaving Tamrin in the cold.
Tamrin sighed as she picked herself up slowly. Her jeans and her black hoodie were soaked, and as she began to walk through the town, the cold seeped straight through to her bones. She wrapped her arms around her body and her tail around her waist in a futile attempt to keep warm, but her shivers would not settle.
A woman and her little boy were walking in the direction opposite of Tamrin. The young toddler offered her a brief smile before his mother tugged him across the street to avoid crossing paths with the "freak." Even though Tamrin thought she would be used to such treatment after five years, she still felt a pang in her heart from their cruel actions.
Frost blew into the air as Tamrin released a sigh and continued on her way. A glimpse at her reflection in the town windows showed her a thin, fragile girl with tired eyes and wolf ears that angled down sadly. She looked away swiftly before heading down a small alley between two shops.
Behind the garbage cans was a small shelter made out of a tarp that was hung over a wooden frame. Pushing the tarp aside, Tamrin stepped into the small space she called home to try and settle in for the night. She removed her wet clothing and hung it out over a line. In the blink of an eye, she transformed into her animal form and made her way onto the old mattress that took up half of the shelter space. A thin layer of black and white fur would be better than nothing on a night so cold.
Tamrin ducked under some ratty old blankets before tucking her paws under her muzzle. "Happy birthday to me," she sighed before drifting of into a fitful sleep.
As the hours passed, the first snowflakes of winter began to twinkle as they floated to the ground in the night air.
Aw :( Poor Tamrin. Next time, the story picks up a bit as Tamrin runs into new faces and new places! See you soon!
