A young woman sat on a mossy rock in the forest, the sun breaking through the gaps in the leaves and shining on her. She had been sitting here since this morning when she got in a fight with her mom, who at the time was drunk again. It had started out as the usual "Why aren't you as good as your brother" talk when her mother brought out a knife and started to threaten her, telling her that she was a freak of nature.

The woman readjusted herself on the rock, the gurgling of a stream nearby calming her down a bit. "I'm not a freak." She told herself quietly, hugging her arms to her chest.

A panther 4'6 was roaming the area when she hears a "I'm not a freak" in her direction. She walks into a clearing to see a young lady with a sorrowful expression. The panther walks up to her and playfully nudges her in the cheek hoping to cheer her up.

The woman was a bit surprised to see the panther, but reached her hand out gently and petted it's head. "Hey, I don't suppose you could help me." She said with a small, hopeless smile.

The panther felt a hand upon her head, she lifted her head and heard the question asked "Yea sure what do you need?" she asked "By the way my names Hellia"

Mia's eyes got wide and she quickly brought her hand back from the panther's head. "Y-you talk??" She asked, jumping up from the rock and pacing back and fourth.

Hellia jumps back at the statement "whoa chill out your a werewolf and your surprised by a talking panther and it's kinda rude to not reply your name after someone give you theirs "

"I am defiantly NOT a stinky mutt!" She yelled, offended about being called a filthy half-breed mutt. "For your information I a shifter, meaning I do NOT shift into a werewolf!" She added, crossing her arms over her chest.

"ANYWAYS" Hellia yelled to change the subject "what do you need, and for God sake what is your name"

"My name is Mai, and I wasn't being literal." Mia responded, rolling her eyes in annoyance. "How is it possible that you talk?" She asked, changing the subject once again.

"I was thought by a human and the only human I will ever respect"she replied "so what's wrong with you why were you sad?"

"Oh..." Mia said, glancing around at her surroundings. "My mom thinks I'm a mistake, the usual from her." Mai added, unsure if Hellia was going to hurt her.

"Oh" Hellia said "well let's go have a talk with her "

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait." Mai said, waving her hands around. "If I come home with a talking panther, she will definitely think I'm even more of a freak and probably call the cops. And you are not going to kill her either." She explained, trying to calm herself down more then Hellia.

"Well then what are we going to do? " Hellia asked

"I'm going to go home when my mom has cooled down, as for you...." She said, eyeing the panther.

Hellia suddenly shrinks down to the size of a kitten "take me with you"

"Ok, now this day just got weirder...." Mia sighed, picking up the now kitten sized panther. "I think you are much cuter as a kitten." She said with a smile, tucking Hellia in the crook of her arm.

"Why thank you" I say while being carried

Mia rolls her eyes and walks out of the forest, somehow remembering the way out. Her house was the biggest one on the street, it's backyard coming to an end where the forest began. It was three stories high and had a three car garage off the side, three cars in the driveway. "The step monster is there." Mia said with a groan, approaching the house.

"Step-monster?" Hellia asked
