Story.
I was born a Kougra. A white kougra, struggling for my mother's warmth. Who was my mother?, I have no idea, or my father with that. The sad thing about me was, I was born with horn on my head.. And my parents knew that I had a demon inside of me. They were tiny horns, hidden under my bangs, and my mother was cleaning me one day, running her tongue through my hair, me purring softly, the smell of milk stained on my maw, she was scared when she detected them.
My parents have no importance in my life whatsoever though..

They abandoned me when I was just a little pup. I don't blame them either.. I do not seek revenge for them, nor do they hold any special interest for me.
Death was creeping behind the corner for me, as I tried to call out to them, trying to find them.. I knew I was going to go painfully, without my mother's milk and guidence in life, there was no hope of survival... Except when you find a dirt road, and poachers are near by. Poachers had stolen me, and they sold me to a Laboratory, doing animal testings. How Cruel.. Is this how life really was?
They put me in a small metal cage, with no padding at the bottom. My pads were sore, and bleeding from the steep cage, and my many attemps from biting the bars with my metal teeth failed. One day, and this day I will remember forever.. A man in a white coat came up to me, with a syringe full of green substance. I was afraid, the smells were chemical, it stung my throat, and it wanted to inject me with it. He opened the cage, and I clawed at him, but his hand grabbed me and ripped me from the cage.. My scruff was badly bruised, as I wailed out in terror in pain. I could feel the sharp pain of the needle entering my spine.. Flames roared through my veins, and I was going into a seizure, I could feel it. My heart sped up, and my eyes rolled back. And darkness caressed it, ending all pain, ending all suffering.

I think I died...

But in the darkness, and beautiful black kougra, with feathered black wings, and yellow piercing eyes came up to me. Her tongue was like a snake's tongue, and her scent was sweet.. She opened her maw, and her words soothed me.. "I'm going to save you.." She said to me.."You're name is Vyrana..Right?" She whispered at me.. I nodded my head, my parents called me that..
I was in the vile the man injected you with. Little did he know, it was infected with a virus.. My name is Metzo." She trailed off.. And I blinked my eyes, and her pelt turned green... "I will give you power, and a new life, you will need.." She grinned evilly. "Wake now Vyrana, and show the world, your beauty.." She snickered, and her image disapeared in the blackness..



A new Look.. A new Destiny.
I awoken, there was blood everywhere.. my paws were stained in blood, yet it felt like I never moved from the table where I was injected. My whole body tingled with a new sensation, I was mutant, and the black spikes on my back let me know that Metzo was present. She had done this while she occupied me in my sleep, I know of it.. I got up, and ran into the next room, feeling my new found streghth, and there was cages busted open, all empty, all wrecked, except for one.
A little green rat with wide red eyes sat in the corner, shaking, staring up at me.. I felt bad for it, and it squeaked at me, coming up to the cage.. "I saw you, do all that.. But you forgot my cage.." It murmured softly.. "Can you please let me free? I really don't wanna stay here waiting to die.." her whole body trembled, .. And I nodded at her, as I parted my maw, to reaveal blood stained sharp fangs, and I pryed the cage open enough for her to get out.. She jumped out, and she stared at me, not running away. ."Thankyou.." she shut her eyes, and sniffed me.. "My name is Oriana..What is yours?.." Her rat tail whipped down, and she grinned..
I grinned back, "My name is Vyrana.. But I would like to get the hell out of here before any one finds us.." I quickly said..
Without thinking, I picked up Oriana in my mouth, without crushing her, and ran out of there, she gasped and thrashed in my mouth, but then realized that I wouldn't kill her. And she lay lifeless in my mouth, waiting for me to stop to our next destination.

The little meekins followed me everywhere, knowing what I did, but I didn't know what I did back there.. And I didn't want to know. And when she brought it up, I would change the subject..


The day I met Rezby.. was an interesting day indeed. I didn't know I had other family, but my parents did have another kougress, and she was not demon. She was beautiful and kind to me, and I only knew her for a short while.. She had been killed by lupes and left me something I did not want at such an early age I was experiancing. She had left me with her Son.. Rezby.. He had red fur, and navy stripes.. The only mistake I made with him, was teaching him my demon ways.
For months, It was like I was his mother, .. Though I was still young and stupid, I teached him how to live, and survive..He was a happy-go-lucky fellow, and didn't show signs of ever becoming demon.. So I gave up on him, and just did things simple.

Darkest Day..
The cub was growing up, and with his adoration of me, it turned so someone else. His first love. He had found a kougress to share his affection with, he needed me no longer, that's when I let myself go.
Not the way you think of 'letting go' , I turned myself loose in the forest, I had no care in the world, I turn into my demon state and destroy anything around me, my biggest mistake was killing a shadow kougra named Clash. If it wasn't for this one kougra, I think I would still be a mutant kougra, young and fierce...
It all started... when I was in the forest, brilliant horns hung low on my head like a rams, .. My eyes were pure red, bleeding with the urge to taste flesh of others. I was going insane, I wasn't keeping my true self, instead, I let Metzo run my life, feeling the power she let slip into my veins. It was great, until a Shadow kougra got in my way, and I had tore him apart.
The kougra happened to be Rezby's Friend's Father. That was sure a mouthful. :x
Rezby had found out what I had done, and hatred filled his soul, I was sure he'd never talk to me again, I was sure of it.. but that wasn't the case...

Just walking to my next destination with Oriana, whatever that may be, I walked for hours on end, meeting Kougras and lupes, and whatnot, the smell of Poison filled the air immediately as I looked in the corner of my eye to see Rezby. He looked alot different, scrawny, evil.. His eyes bled with red, and sharp spikes crawled on his back, with red mane sprouting out in various places. My eyes widen as I ran up to him "Noo .. Rezby, Metzo got you.." My eyes filled up with tears. I had never cried in my life, but this time.. I was heartbroken.
And he would make sure of that..
He was blank-faced as I held him close to me, and I ignored the fact that he smelled like venom and disease.. I shut my eyes, knowing that this demon would destroy his life, at that time I realised that Metzo has no good... A sharp pain hit my chest, as I gasped, the air getting knocked out of me. I looked down to see that Rezby dug his claws into my chest, his claws were infected with poison, and chemicals, as he twisted his paw in. I thrashed and scratched at him,the pain clouded my eyes, my heart beated faster as I could feel his claws pierce it.. I collasped in his grasp, and he said no words, but a tiny smirk appeared on his face. I knew that wasn't him,just a demon...
And he left me there to die.


Great. Just great.
I know, it took about one week before it finally consumed me and destroyed my insides. But I tried to fight it, up until the day my heart took it's last beat. And then I knew my time was up, and I lay down and let myself be free finally. Though Heaven and Hell didn't want me, I had to stay on earth, searching for peace of mind. Wondering the earth a lost soul, all that cliche stuff, though Oriana stayed with me, concerned about my state of being, and wondering why I could float, and why there was a ghostly aura around me. Pfft, wasn't she there when Rezby clawed me?.. I don't remember. I had found Rezby along a cliff while I was walking, he had died, Metzo had abandoned his body, and it turned out he was the parasite, and he could no longer survive in the real world without power. I looked down at what was left of his corpse, and sadly, I thought he was a weak creature, to fall in love with someone who had no care of his well-being, and try to get revenge for something that wasn't worth it. And I had lost my life because of it.
I took his body to a graveyard nearby, the crows cooed at me, and looked at the body that I held, with curiousity, their eyes filled with starvation, but I hissed at them.. They were not going to touch Rezby. I dug him a grave, and placed him inside.. And I wonder, if he was a ghost somewhere?...No he isn't..
I looked around, a little voice was talking to me.. He's in Hell, paying for his sins., The voice kept whispering in my ear, her voice was quite sharp and high, I knew who it was now. Metzo.
Why did I go to Hell then?..." I asked her, completely somber..
Mabe because you have something you still need to do, or.. I still posess your life.. " She snickered.
I glared, in the shadows, I could see a black kougra with a snake like tongue. "My love.." She spoke, as she padded up to me, "Forget about Rezby, and Join me again, we will have so much fun, like we did in the old days.." Her yellow eyes captured me, as I pulled away..
I'm pretty fine as I ghost..." I murmured, still looking at Rezby..
I'll bring him back to life for you."

I stared at her, my tail thrashing up and down.. Then my eyes narrowed.. "No. You'll destroy him again.." I hissed.
I will not.. I promise, He will live a happy life, demon free.." She smirked. "But you have to do something for me..." The smirk faded away from her face.. "As you can see, I have no soul, and you are a soul, I just am an image of your imagination...
What are you trying to say?" I asked her..

Without another word, Just jumped into my image, as power consumed me once again, Everything went black... What was happening to me?!...


The rise of Metzo
I can't believe I actually allowd this to happen, though I could no longer defend my 'being', she took over me, and I was Vyrana no longer. Somewhere inside her being, was Me, as she destroyed relationships, and used me being to do crazy stuff I would not mention at this time. She ruined my life, and had no reason to live anymore..
Vyrana.." She asked herself, she was driving this show now.. "Let's go pick out a pretty tombstone for your beloved foolish Nephew.
I thought you were going to bring him back alive..." I growled at her, from inside her head..
I could hear her laugh, "Hehe. What a waste of power I would use... " She spat, "Now that I have you, I don't need to do such wasteful things..
From right then, I wanted to kill her, destroy her. How could she destroy lives and laugh about it?.. I know Metzo had been alive for awhile. She had a past, and a life once too, but I didn't need to know how she became, what she is now.. A virus, a Demon, a corrupted evil dirt.
Though she could read my insulting thoughts and she hissed at me from time to time.. She had her fun for awhile.

We had picked out a tombstone shapped rock, and went to the graveyard, With her sharp nails, she carved out the name "Rezby" and set it down on his site, and filled the hole with dirt.. The crows gathered, and watched with excitement and curiousity. "You know.. " Her words startled me, she spoke softly, like the time when I first met her.."He wanted this.. Not because as you think I was 'destroying' his life, .. He knew what he had done to you, he would never forgive himself..
But that was you.." I snarled.. "You did this to him!..
That's not the point.." She murmured.. "He begged me to leave his body, and to restore yours, he sacrificed himself for you, to live again..
I had no idea why she would bring this up now, but the look in her eyes gave me a stunning feeling as she looked down at Rezby's grave.. I have to find a way to get away from her.. And that only way was to die.

She'd lick her chest, and recoil, "The cut Rezby gave to you is now on my body.." She growled, she looked down to see stitches on her chest.. "Too bad I don't have a heart.." She smiled oddly.
The day I got my wish... Is when we ran into a gray lupess, with black horns on her head. She had no spikes though, and red beady eyes, and black demon wings. She had ran into Metzo on the trail where she was going, and stopped to examine her. "What on earth are you looking at?..." Metzo spat, "Stupid dog..
But the Lupess didn't react to her insult, or her rudeness, she spoke, her voice deep and apathetic, "There's something trapped in you, allow me to help you out.." A smile curled on her face.. "Is this the Teul I've been hearing about?..", it sounded like she said 'Tool', exactly actually, and it made since, whether she was talking about me or Metzo, I was Metzo's Tool in life now.. Made me shiver with fear as I could pierce through Metzo's eyes and see what she saw.. "Perhaps." Metzo snickered.
I've been looking for her, for such a long time, And what fills me up with happiness is that you have found her for me.." the gray lupe's voice raised with happiness.
Metzo's eyes shook, and her body trembled "What are you doing?.." She asked, her voice was cracking...
Just re-ordering things.. That's all.." The gray one said,... In in a flash...Something was different, I could see clearly, but Metzo did not move at all, She fell to the side, but I flinched, and she I did so, her body flinched.. I had control again!
I flexxed my black paws, and stretched my wings to test everything out..
NOO.." something hissed in the back of my head, and I smiled with glee...
Such sadness, My name is Alexis..." The lupe said, "I know what your going to do now.. Well you'd better hurry up, she'll regain focus and take you over again.." Her eyes somber..
I turned around, without saying a word to her, facing my death, my mind was going crazy, I would not spend one more minute again trapped in a body that I cannot control, I was running towards a cliff, and I jumped off..The air hit my face, as I could see I was falling pretty fast, and as I turned my body around, so I could fall 'spine' first, to make sure I had completely died, I saw the Sillohoutte of the gray lupess, with her tall horns, and her red eyes looking down from where I jumped..
And I fell hard and my world once again went black.

You are dead.. a voice whispered in my ear, but it was not Metzo's thankfully. I opened my eyes, I was a ghost again, but this time I was not on earth, I was in between, a ghostly place, between heaven and hell, for those to make their decisions on what to do. "I'm Cahuamo.." A green and red Lupe said to me. "I'm here because of the curse that's been layed on you..
Curse?.." I squeaked..My eyes widen at the tall Lupe, with his slender futures, and long feathery wings..
Yes. The gray lupe you encountered put a Teulish Spell on you.." He smiled, "Right here.." With his paw, he pushed on my chest where the scar had been.. and something incredibly amazing happened..


A new look..A new Species?
Rise Teul. I don't think you are Vyrana anymore, that's all in the past." I opened my eyes, and stared blankly at him, I could feel my heart beating softly from under my navy fur, I looked at my paws. They were so.. canine like, with silver coils wraped in various places, and small demon like wings were on my back.. And I no longer felt.. Feline.
Strange. My whole personality could change in one minute, but the memories, were still engraved in my thoughts, and mind, forever. Cahuamo smiled at me sweetly.. "Aren't you cute.." He said, and he pulled out a metal mask.. and placed it on my face.. My coils dug into the mask, like it was to stay on my face forever.. "What's this mask for?.. Is my face, horrible?...
You are a mutant by the way.." He countered. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, but over time, you shall develope your lupe feautures, do not worry about it. Wear the mask.

I hissed at him, but it came out all funny.. "I'm ready to leave now..
If you wish.

Everything lit up, and I woke up at the bottom of the cliff where I had jumped, now a lupess.
Now when it came to name, all I could think about was the spell that was Put on me.. and what I was for Metzo.. Teul.
I looked around my surroundings, my wounds were completely healed, yet I felt swore, like my body was adapting to such differnt instruments, as I stretched out my tall different built of a body, I could see something green in the corner of my eye, scurry up to me.. Oriana's eyes were huge, like she was spell bounded.. "Vyrana... What has happened to you?.." She knew it was me, by my scent.. I still smelled like a kougra, which was quite odd. She was pretty sure it was me though, and with that, she burried her body into my pelt... "My name is Teul now.." I whispered to her..
She withdrew from me and glared.. "I refuse to call you that..You will always be known as Vyra to me..
I smiled , admiring her honestly, "If you wish Ori.."
I had no desire to destroy things anymore, I no longer had something inside of me, it was just.. one thing, that I was born with.. My own demon, the reason why my parents abandoned me.. As I moved my paw to the horns on my head, my little stubby black sharp horns, they were still there, still hidden... It was Metzo that boosted everything up, but I was still a monster. I knew it. Now the problem was, I was a lupe monster.
How can anything be worse?

I always could find my paws carrying me to the spot where the Crows flew, and the graveyard looked it's most depressed. My eyes somber, as I looked at the grave. .. "Rezby..
I can bring him back.." A light voice said, coming from the shadows was Metzo. I glowered at her, arching my back, didn't work pretty well.. "Why are you here?" I snarled, "I killed you.
Ha. You only killed yourself you stupid dog... Oh yeah, You're a Lupe now, how splendid" Metzo smiled madly, "But the sad part is... We can never be one again, because of your aweful curse. Hell to the Gray lupe, ruining our chance to become one.." Metzo faked her crying sound, and padded next to me to peer at the grave of Rezby..
I ignored her childish ways, and simply said "Give him a second chance.. He needs it.. I need it.." My heart leaped out, the thought of Rezby returning, the happy go lucky fella I raised.. I wanted him back .. I wanted him to be happy. He never deserved any of this. I don't know why I cared so much..
Okay, only if.." she started to say, but I filled up with rage, I was doing no favors for her any longer, as I leeped at her image, that seemed solid, and we clashed together, Her body crashing into the tombstone, chipping off the "Z b y" part of it.. now it said "R e", But I did not care, She lay there crumbled, looking up at me, and hissing.. "I will no longer do you any more favors you wretch.." I smiled, thrashing my tail side to side...
jerk.." She hissed, as she lunged at me, gashing the side of my left arm, bringing me down. I struggled beneath her feline body, and with my back legs and kicked her up.. She flew up, and used her wings to land softly. Her snake tongue coming out, venom dripping, and her yellow eyes turning red , flickering like flames of madness. .. I limped over to her.. "Do what I say...Kitty.." I spat at her.
She raised her paw, and thrashed me across the face. I did not react, as my metal mask flew right off.. and her eyes widen.. Was I really that repulsive looking? .. She stared right past me.. and lowered her body, she had enough, she wasn't a being, I had no idea what I was fighting.. "If you wish.." She finally said.
She quickly dug into his grave.. Six.. Feet.. Into it, and pulled out, bones, and set them in order, to make it look like a bone structure of a kougra. Sadness filled my heart. I could feel a power of aura raise around Metzo as she concentrated on the bones, and I could see the crows gather, I did not know what she was doing.. "I do not have a host, so I shall steal what I can find.." She smirked evily.. I stepped back, looking causious. "Oh don't be silly, I dont need lupe flesh, Look around you
I did so, the crows, with their black beady eyes, curious, and Metzo nodding know exactly what was going to happen next, and I had no idea..
She hissed to herself, and all around me, the Crows started to shriek in pain and fly everywhere, the feathers spraying across the land, I stared in horror as they melted away.. "Look at Rezby Teul, look at him..
And My eyes glanced at the bones, but they weren't bones anymore, the crows body were being drawns to him, and the dirt of the graveyard... He got call covered in feathers.. black , shiny feathers. And with that, they blew away..I turned my back to shield myself, and some of the molting feather landed on my back, tail, and ears, All lining up, turning my markings black.. "That wasn't suppose to happen.." Metzo said.. "Get out of the way of my spells, thanks." She glowered.
I tried to lick it off, but it was in my pelt now, stained.. like crow feathers, "How does my face look..?" I asked Metzo, afraid that I looked horrible. Slowly she smirked, "like staring at a ghost.. Look at Rezby.." I looked at his corpse, yet, it wasn't a corpse any longer, it was a black and white kougra, with odd markings, and one black wing.. Smelling of crows and graveyard.. "Rezby.." I murmured, the odd black spikes twisted and turned on his back.."oh no.. No, you'd better not.." I growlled at Metzo..
Too late." And with that she disapeared back in the shadows with her laughter echoing through the dark graveyard..
I lay next to his lifeless body, he was so scrawny.. I wonder when he'd awake... Awaken from the dead.

I left him, to repair, and went to a nearby lake, to look at my reflection.. I stared at the white face staring back.. How strange.


I wondered why my face was white, and it brought me back to Cahuamo, and what he had told me.. Was it because I was old? I felt middle aged about now, it had been along time since I was a little white kougra. Such a long time.. but I didn't think I was old yet.. I touched my delicate face.. I had no idea what this might be. I still felt youthful, yet now, I was more mature than ever .. Must have been the effect of the Crows and Ravens. Weeks went by, and my face stayed the same, not fading back to navy.. and I felt just fine. Once again my feet carried me to the graveyard, to Rezby's tombstone, the body was missing now, I wonder what happened to it.. And in the corner of my eyes I saw him, .. I saw the beauty of him, though he was depressing looking.. He was beautiful.

But.. he was lost, I could see it in his yellow state.. And she parted his maw, and I could hear his voice one more time.. "Who are you?..." He asked me.. I turned to him, and lowered my head.. it was a good thing that he didn't know who I was.."Don't stay here any longer Rezby, this place is depressing..
Rezby?" he echoed.. "The crows here call me Roulette..
Roulette.. What a great name for a second chance I suppose. I nodded, I should have never let his former name slip out, because he knew, that I knew him.. "Why am I here?.. And how do you know me?" He padded up to me, and smelled me, his eyes widen.. and one word came out of his maw.. Vyrana.... Mother..
I shook my head.. "There are some things you just have to know for yourself... Goodbye Roulette.
I turned away, I did not want to interfere in his life anylonger.. My tail thrashed back and fourth as I winced, the pain swelled up in my chest, where he had destroyed my heart.. 'I have to get away from here..

And that I did.

-----

That is the end of my story. Perhaps I will have more, if more things happen in my boring life.
I had some children, they grew up, and now I'm alone once again. Wondering what life has in store for me.
