Tauranai knew she would have to move fast if she wanted to go, but she would have to leave later. Tossing the hat aside, she ran to her closet.

She flung open the door and looked around, searching desperately for a hat big enough to cover her new cat ears.

Just then she paused to think, Wait a minute, if I have cat ears then I should be able to flatten them to my head!

With this idea in her mind, she tensed the muscles at the base of the ears. This feels freakin' weird… She thought to herself as her ears flattened to her head, almost blending with her hair. She shrugged and put on her hat, just in case.

Just then, her bedroom door flung open with a loud BAM!

"Tauranai, what's wrong? I heard you scream!" her mom asked, concern etched into her fore-head.

"Nothing major, Mom, I just saw this HUGE spider! It was, like, the size of my fist!" Tauranai lied.

Conveniently enough, there were extremely large fuzzy spiders all over their yard, and some of the spiders do actually get in every now-and-then. Scary right?

"Well, alright then. Time for school, do you want me to take you?" her mom asked.

"No thanks Mom, I'll just ride my bike." Tauranai said.

"Ok then. I'm off to work now, have fun at school." Her mom replied.

"Thanks Mom, have a nice day at work." Tauranai replied back.

She was really going to miss her mom. Her mom was all she had when she was little, ever since her dad was killed in a war when she was four. She had a little brother once too. His name was Thomas, and he was the cutest little thing she had ever seen. Big green eyes, a small tuft of jet black hair, and chubby cheeks. That was about three years ago. He was kidnapped and killed by a madman, but now her mom was going to be even more alone.

She didn't want to make her mom sad, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do, and that includes leaving home to save your skin. I guess it wouldn't really matter if I left, Mom is never home anyway. She thought.

She sighed as her mom walked out the door. Turning away slowly from the door, she picked up her back-pack that had all her school supplies. She turned it upside down and dumped out all of its contents onto her bed.

She tossed the now empty bag onto her pillow and went to her dresser. She pulled open the third drawer and reached into the very back. When she withdrew her hand she had a leather bag roughly the size of her head. In this bag was about five-thousand dollars she had saved up from her part time job and her birth-days.

She took the bag and tossed it into her empty back-pack. Looking on the top of her dresser, she grabbed her wallet. She was going to need it and its contents. She had a picture of her mom, dad, and little brother in her wallet, and she wasn't going to leave that no matter what.

Tucking her wallet into her back pocket, she walked over to her closet. She slid the mirrored door open and reached inside; she pulled out a few pairs of jeans, some t-shirts, a sweater, an extra hat, and a few other feminine necessities.

With her things in her arms, she walked over to her bed and stuffed them neatly into her backpack. She hoisted the bag onto her back and adjusted her hat. She took a deep breath and walked out of her room, silently closing the door behind her.
