AN: Chapter seven!

I'm sooo sorry for not updating on Saturday, but I was sick in bed all weekend.

I did try, but when the computer screen is swirling before your very eyes, it's practically impossible to figure out the stupid security code, much less upload a chapter.

Disclaimer still applies.


Ahiru frowned. I guess Drosselmeyer's enchantment on Kinkan made me believe I was a duck, and I never questioned it afterwards. But if I was human, how come I'm still a duck now? Shouldn't I have changed back with all the other animal-people? Unless… There was something at the edge of her mind she couldn't grasp, something she was forgetting, something important. The duck focused on the tendril of thought, fighting to remember –

"Does it mean anything?" Fakir asked again, more impatiently this time.

Ahiru quacked in frustration. Argh, and I almost had it too!

"No?" He sounded off, a little tense, a little nervous, a little – disappointed.

Ahiru shook her head violently. It doesn't just mean something – it means everything! She snatched the letter and started waddling in the direction of Fakir's house. The owl should still be there, waiting for a reply, she hoped with all her might.


AN: As an apology, I will be uploading the next chapter as well!

Same duck-time, same duck-channel!
