It had been a long day at school. Her friends had been fighting about which one of them was smarter, she had tons of homework and she had just finished, and the day had just been overall stressful. She was finally glad to get to bed. Tsuki, a 12 year-old, just laid under the cover and waited for sleep to come across her. Finally, she managed to fall into a deep sleep.
Several hours later, Tsuki opened her eyes. She squinted a bit to the right to see what time it was, but the clock wasn't there. She fully opened her eyes as anxiety brewed in her stomach. She was too frightened to even mutter a word. She curled up into a ball for warmth just as she heard a voice. "...huge...we need your...human..." the voice muttered softly. Tsuki wasn't able to hear very much of the message, because the voice was relatively faint. She tried to ask more, but fear overwhelmed her. She already missed her friends, family, and maybe even the annoying dog next door. The voice faded into nothing, and she was left alone.
After several hours, she decided to get up and move. A cautious feeling was still in her gut, but she tried her best to ignore it. She quickly came across a pond. She glanced into it, and her reflection looked...different. She already looked shorter and she had awkward spots of fur. While she was examining herself, a noise that sounded like a pot landing on a metal floor boomed loudly. She covered her ears and quickly fainted from fear, and her body collapsed sideways into the pond.
When she finally opened her eyes, she was in a beautiful forest. Tall pine trees towered up from their roots at the ground. Strange creatures wandered and chased each other. She had never seen anything like it. She seemed happy for a while until she remembered the reflection. Fear struck her as she realized that she was on all fours. She lifted her hand to see that it now looked like a paw. It was a strange sky-blue color with a yellow ring through it. She had no idea what would happen next, but she tried to stay as calm as possible.
