<description><![CDATA[Where was I?
That was my first thought.  

I was on my back staring at a bright blue sky. I blinked a couple times as my eyes adjusted to the sunlight. I turned my head to the side and my breath caught in my throat.

My surroundings looked nothing like where I could have sworn I was a couple of minutes ago. 
Everything looked weirdly colorful and had this glowing vibe to it.&nbsp; 
 It was beautiful. Nothing like back home. 
The streets I was used to walking on were made of cement not dirt like the ground i was laying on. Colorful trees surrounded me instead of the houses and buildings I pass through on my way to school.The sky was bright. A lot brighter than the usual California sky.
And it was really clear

My second thought was, Did I get kidnapped?

I sat up quickly, my arm scraping on the ground. There was no one around. I relaxed momentarily. Then I realized again that I had no clue where I was. I looked around again trying to find something familiar.
My backpack was by my side, but other than that ...
There was nothing.

Slowly, I got up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Nothing.
There was nothing around me. I was sitting in a circle of dirt. Weirdly enough, it was a perfectly shaped circle. Around the circle I saw trees and plants, but nothing else. There were no houses, no trails, or anything like that. It was just a vast sea of trees.

The trees were humongous. Their branches extended all the way to the center of the circle. I didn't know trees like these existed. They looked odd with all their different colors and their glowing. I spun around in a circle staring at the trees in awe. They were beautiful. Nothing like home.

I teared my eyes away from the trees and studied the circle I was in. It was huge. At least twenty meters in diameter. I, I realized after looking at the circle some more, was standing exactly in the middle of it. Kind of weird, I thought. The edge of the circle was surrounded by grass. The tips of the grass were burnt which I looked at&nbsp; curiously for a while trying to get my mind off of things that might make me start to panic. Like where I was. Why I was here.

'Crunch, Crunch'

At first I didn't notice the noise. I was too busy studying the burnt grass and trying not to think too much. So I didn't notice.

I didn't notice the sound of twigs cracking or branches breaking.
I didn't notice the sound of it moving towards me.

Then I did.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It burst out of the bushes.
I stumbled backwards, almost falling over in shock. I stared at it stupidly. I couldn't believe this was real. That it was all happening to me. First I find myself in a strange place that looks nothing like home. Then this weird creature comes galloping towards me at full speed. I had to be dreaming. Or hallucinating, Or something. 

But, this wasn't a dream, I realized. This was real. Very real. I had hurry up and move. I tried to get out of the way. I knew it was useless. It was too late. I wasn't going to be fast enough and it was to close already. I'd waited too long. I cringed and squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the pain to come. It didn't happen.

I opened my eyes a tiny bit and they flew open as hooves flew terrifyingly close to my face as it reared up and turned right before it was about to hit me. Surprised I fell back.I banged my elbow hard on the ground and a shock of pain went through my arm. But I was safe, at least for now...I think.]]></description>

<title>Chapter 4 : It</title>

<description><![CDATA[It stared at me.
It's big blue-white eyes had an intelligent glow to them.

I stared at it cautiously, trying to figure out exactly what it was. It was big, like a horse, same basic shape. It had hooves like one, too. But the rest... the rest was completely different. It had black&nbsp; fur that resembled a cat's. It was a pure black that was stunning. Its ears were like a cats, too. Or maybe i should say panther or a&nbsp; leopard, because no house cat has big ears like these. And it had fangs! Fangs!

Its face was like a normal horse's except for the big eyes. They were much bigger than a regular horse's eyes should be but somehow they didn't look out of place on its face. And they were a bright blueish-white color that stood out against its black fur.

So, basically, a big cat/horse was staring at me and I was trying to figure out if it was going to attack me. Or eat me. And trying not to do anything so I wouldn't have to find out.

Then suddenly it moved. I cringed. It nudged me with its muzzle. I stumbled back a tiny bit, surprised. It stared rubbing its head against my arm. I planted my feet in the dirt, trying not to get pushed back when it stopped for a second. It took a step back and stared and me again. Then it opened its mouth and--started panting! It looked dog-like, with its big tongue hanging out. Then it closed its mouth. It came closer and started rubbing my arm gently with its muzzle.

Cautiously, I reached up and patted its head. Its fur was so soft. Like ten times more SOFT than the softest thing you could imagine. It was so soft that I partially forgot my fear and continued petting it. I stared at it and saw its ears flick back then towards me again. I smiled a little, unbelieving and awed.

After a while I heard a sound. It was like a soft rumbling. What's that noise?, I wondered. 
Suddenly, I laughed as I realized where it was coming from. My fear disappeared completely.
The cat-horse was purring.

I moved around it rubbing her neck as I looked more closely at it. Well, firstly it was a girl so I'm going to start calling it she. She was even more beautiful up close. Her fur was so black, it had a blue sheen. It had a mane-like thing, but instead of hair, the fur grew longer and stood up. Kind of like a mini mo-hawk. I lightly brushed my fingers over it&nbsp; then down her spine. She was sturdy and strong. I could feel her muscles under her skin. Her legs were thicker than a normal horses but had the same basic structure. Her hooves were pure white. Like paper white and surprisingly clean. Her tail was like a cat's but the fur grew a lot longer there than on the rest of her body.

All in all, she was absolutely stunning. 

After studying her for quite a while, I began to remember that I had other things to worry about. I couldn't spend all my time admiring her. I had to figure out where I was.

With that thought, I got scared and confused. There were no animals like this on Earth. Unless someone secretly began mutating animals or mated a panther with a horse. The second on was unlikely and even the first was a bit out there. But what other explanation was there? Had I become a part of some experiment?

I quickly pushed that thought out of my head. That was impossible. Right?
God, I hated this, I thought suddenly becoming angry.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sari had wandered off.
He'd dozed off and when he woke up he'd found her gone. She never left before. She was a loyal karagi and she'd been with him since he was 15. He wondered if someone had taken her. He didn't think it was likely, everyone knew she was his and most wouldn't dare try to steal her, but some...some might try.

He could see her prints in the grass and started following them. As the tracks led farther and farther away he picked up the pace till finally he was running. He jumped over roots and branches. As he approached the Great Trees, he heard noises and stopped suspicious.

He edged, slowly and cautiously, closer to the noise. 

Sari!

He'd found her. She was in the ring of dirt facing in the almost opposite direction of him, though he could see her face. Weird, he thought, she must have sensed me by now. Why hasn't she turned around? Her ears flicked towards him though she still didn't turn around. He was about to call her when he stopped, noticing what Sari was looking at. He hid in the shadows of the trees, since Sari was in no immediate danger and peered out at her. Studying her. The girl. The stranger. He knew she was. No one here looked like her.]]></description>
