"Hello family. I have some sad news. Is everyone here?" Loki nodded. "Ok everyone. I am leaving sooner. I will be leaving the end of next week to the human world. I am going with a man named Leo who seems like a nice man. There will be a woman who will help take care of me. They will be sending me to school and taking care of me. I can come visit anytime because its not far from here. I will miss you all too. I better start packing." "I went to my room and packed 2 books I had with me and the animal clothes I had to cover myself up with. Every time we ate we skinned the clothes to keep me warm since I don't have fur. I only kept my chest covered and wrapped the stuff around my private area's like a towel. It was a warm day today so it was good what I was wearing right now. I finally finished packing and put my stuff in my corner then headed out to join everyone. Then we played like normal
It had been a week and finally it was time to go. I had to stop by the Elders I promised to go over before I left. Mom and dad were with me. Loki stayed at the house to watch the kids. Even though he was just as young as me. "Hello Elder." I said. "Oh Akela. Are you leaving?" "Yeah I met a human already he will be taking me to the human village today. I want to say its not far from here so may I come to visit anytime?" "Yes you can. Make sure you stop by here first ok?" "Yes sir thank you." I went over and gave the elder a hug and said, "Thank you sir. I will miss everyone here. You guys and my family are all I have ever known and now I have to leave." "Its ok Akela. Just listen and behave yourself ok? If you ever feel like missing us come visit ok?" "Yes sir I will. Bye everyone and thank you for raising me for who I am today." Then I left back to my house to say goodbye to my brothers and sisters.
"Well this is it everyone. I'm leaving. Come here all of you." They all doggy piled on me and kissed me. "Ok. OK. Everyone I gotta get going now. After all this isn't goodbye forever I will definitely be coming over to visit. See how big and strong everyone has gotten ok? So make sure you listen to mom dad and the elders ok?" "I will protect them." Said the oldest brother who is 1 year older than me. "I know Night thanks. You too Akela. You're the oldest now. Keep the girls in line work with night to keep the kids in line ok?" "Hehe we will try sister." "Ok then see you." Loki was the quiet type. He didn't talk until it was necessary. We walked to where the man was staying and I said, "Leo I'm ready to go." "Oh are you sure?" "Yes I got my bag of stuff now lets go." "Ok then. Follow me." He had all his stuff packed up ready to go so we left pretty quick.
We walked 2 miles and finally saw the human village. "Wow! There are a lot of people and colors." I said. "Yes there are. First things first lets get you to my place. I have 2 guest rooms. Your friend Loki can use the other room or he can sleep in the living room anything is fine. The woman I told you about she lives 4 houses down from me. She should be here soon. Ok here is the house. Go on in." We both walked in and he showed me to my room and when Loki's room was. I put my stuff down and sat down what is called a bed. Once I sat on it my but when down and it scared me for a minute. Then it felt comfortable. "Hey um there is something I need to tell you about Loki." He is Luna's nephew and only family besides me. Your right she is my birthmother. He can turn human when he wants too. If we go clothes shopping we might want to get him some too." "Ok sure." "Its ok Loki. I'll be fine. You can go to your room if you want." I have some old clothes from when my niece and nephew were your ages. You should try them on. Let me go get them for you." Just as he walked out the door I heard a lady enter.
"Hello you must be Akela." Loki must have heard because he came out. "This must be Loki." "Yes maam." I said. "Oh just call me Aqua. I'm surprised you can talk human." "That's what I said too." Said Leo. "Well I will put the boxes in your rooms ok?" Said Aqua. "Ok." I said. "Oh Aqua? I never put on these kinds of clothes can you help me?" "Of course." "Loki let Leo help you put your clothes on ok?" I noticed he rolled his eyes. Then he nodded. Once Loki went in his room he turned human so Leo can help him get dressed and Aqua was helping me.
Aqua had a pretty color hair and I didn't know what color it was. As she was dressing me I said, "Aqua. I like your hair. What color do you call it?" "Oh thank you. Its called Aquamarine. My eyes are golden." "I know my hair is white because mom has the same color as mine and my eyes are light blue like the sky." "What I put on you is called a dress. You can wear these types of things when we enroll you in school. We will be enrolling Loki as well. We will make sure you two are in the same classes ok?" "Thank you Aqua." "Sure. Well today we will rest, and tomorrow we will shop. What do you say?" "Shop?" "Oh it means get you some clothes we have to use something called money to buy clothes food and stuff we want and need." "Oh. Is Loki coming too?" "Yes but he will be in the boy section with Leo and you will be with me in the girls section." "Oh ok. I just hope Leo is ok with that. I have never seen his human form. I wonder what it looks like." "Well you will find out soon enough because we are going to walk around town to get a feel for it." "Oh so that's why you dressed us. OK sounds good. I can't wait to see Loki's human form."
After she was done doing my hair I went out to show them. "Wow you look gorgeous." Said Leo. "She looks pretty." Said Loki. Then I looked at him and said, "Wow you look handsome yourself. This is the first time I have seen your human form." I blushed looking at him. He may be my cousin be he looks so handsome. Loki had silver hair and green eyes. I only knew what certain colors are from where we lived in the forest. He also had fair skin like me. "Ok then. Lets go look around if any of you have questions let me know. We will help you if we can." "Thank you Aqua." So we headed out the door and headed toward town.
"Wow! This town looks Amazing." Loki looked at her and smiled. Like always he didn't talk if necessary. If there were any questions Akela would ask them. "Oh that's right. Leo you said you were going to have people at your house later?" "Oh yeah that will be around dinner time. I will teach you how we eat ok?" "Ok thank you." "So you're the quiet type huh Loki?" said Leo. "Yep." Then we walked around and I noticed Loki was a little uncomfortable. I went over to him and held his hand. "Its ok Loki. I'm here. I'm happy ok?" He nodded and I can tell he was more relived. "OK Here is what we call a park. Kids your age younger and a little old play here. Come here I will show you." Said Aqua. Loki followed Aqua and I to what they call a slide. "OK you walk up these which are called steps then you sit down right here and push yourself." I pushed myself and said, "Wee this is fun." Then I landed on my butt. "Ow that hurt. It was fun though." "Oh I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. You have to use your feet to land." Loki was worried for a minute but once he saw I was fine he was relived. "Oh what are those?" "Oh those are swings. Come on I'll push you." I followed Aqua to the swings and she helped me on one. "Ok hold on to these chains so you don't fall off ok? Then you move your feet back and forth like this." She showed me how to pump my feet to go higher. "If you want to stop just drag your feet on the ground like this." So she showed me and I did what she did. Then she showed me other things and I was having fun. Loki was just there watching me. Then it was time to go back.
"OK now we should see the village elder." Said Leo. "Oh you have Elders here too?" "Well we have one elder but they have higher ups too." "Oh cool." So we headed to see him.
"Hello Elder Marco." "Oh hello Leo come on in. Bring your company too." We went in and Loki stayed close to me. "So I see you brought some kids with you." "Yes sir. I'm sorry. Remember Luna? This is her daughter. Her mother is doing fine and married they have other kids. She can't care for her anymore so she wanted me to take her in. I met her by chance on my journey back home." "Oh is that so?" "Hello sir. My name is Akela." "Oh polight young lady aren't you. Nice to meet you too." "This is my cousin Loki. He is mom's nephew. After his mom died his dad couldn't care for him so mom took him in and he came with me. He doesn't talk much only when necessary." "Hello Loki nice to meet you. My name is Marco." "Hello. Marco." "Oh I see you both can talk good language." "Thank you sir." "Oh call me Elder or Elder Marco." "Ok Elder thank you." "OK well then you two are free to find kids your age and play with them ok?" Then we all left and headed back home.
"Hmm. I'm tired. (Yawn.) Oh sorry." "Haha Its ok." Leo picked me up and I said, "Woah." "Sorry is this ok?" "Y-yes thank you. I'm just so sleepy. I want to have a nap." So I fell asleep in his arms. He carried her and put her to bed and took her shoes and socks off to get comfortable and covered her up. "Have a nice nap Akela." Then he kissed her forehead and left. Loki was watching making sure she was ok. Then he went to his room.
It was 2 hours later that I woke up. I stretched and straightened my clothes out and headed out. I went to the living room and saw Loki on the couch. It looks like company was there. "H-Hello." "Oh hello little one. You must be Akela." "Y-yes. I see you have met my cousin Loki." "Yes we have. Handsome fella. You are beautiful yourself." "Thank you sir." "Oh come on Buddy your gonna scare the girl." "Oh sorry if I scared you." "Oh no you didn't scare me I was just a little nervous is all. Meeting new people." "Oh ok then. My name is Buddy if you didn't hear it. Nice to meet you Akela." "You too Buddy."
"Akela." Said Loki. Then I went over to Loki to see what he wanted. "What is it Loki?" "Nothing I just wanted you by my side. I feel a little uncomfortable around this many people." "Oh come on Loki we were around a lot of them at home." "This is different. I grew up with them. I didn't grow up here." "Ok then walk with me." So Loki got up and he walked with me to meet the others. Luckily they had finger food so we didn't have to use what they call utensils. The visiting went on then finally everyone left. "Ok so tomorrow after we go shopping we will teach you how we eat ok?" "Yes sir." "OK then. Lets get you kids to bed its almost bed time. So they helped us in bed and I closed my eyes to sleep.
The next morning I got up and Loki was already at the table with Leo. "Morning everyone." I said. Loki looked me up and down to make sure I was ok. "Morning Akela how did you sleep?" "Oh I slept like a baby. Hehe." So I sat down and waited as well. "Ok today we are going to help you use what we call a spoon." Said Leo. He brought us what they call bowls and put what they call cereal and milk in them. "You have to chew this food. It is a little crunchy." Said Leo. I watched Loki and was amazed he already knew how to do it. I watched Loki and I ate my food. "Wow so you already know how to use silverwear?" "I read books. I sneaked out of home find books and read." "Oh is that so? Well that is very helpful." Said Leo. "Akela just watch what I do and you will be fine ok?" "OK Loki." So we finished our breakfast and we got dressed and ready to go shopping.
We got to what they call a store and I told Loki what was going to happen he said, "Scream if you need me. I will come running ok?" "OK Loki I'll see you later." "Yeah." So we separated to go clothes shopping. I got what you call jeans to wear on my legs and shirts you wear on your top half. Then we get what they call socks that you put on your feet. I always had something on my feet so I knew what shoes were. Once we were done with clothes, we met up and looked for accessories we might want. Like hair stuff jewelry watches. Loki wanted me to pick him out a watch so I chose one that matched his beautiful silver hair although it was a grey watch. Then we went over to the hair accessories I had Loki pick me out a few things then we paid and it was time to go school supplies shopping. We got our own school supplies stuff and it was time to head back.
"OK so tomorrow we are going to call the school and enroll you ok?" said Aqua. "O-ok thank you." I went to my room to put my stuff in my pack. Then I laid in my bed to rest.
A little bit later I went to the living room and sat next to Loki on the couch. "Well Loki. This is going to be our life from now on. What do you think?" "Its fine. I'll get used to it quickly."
I went to the back yard to check it out. Of course Loki went with me. "Hey Loki? Did you have any siblings where you were raised?" "A brother and sister." "Did you play with them?" "Hm. When I wanted too." "Do you think you can play with me too sometime?" "Yeah. I have to get used to someone before I can play with them and it depends on my mood. I only just met you. You may have seen me around but I don't really know you." "Oh right." "But hey Its ok. I'll get used to you. After all you are family right?" "Yeah I am." Then Loki pulled me over and hugged me. I felt so warm and safe. He felt like a brother to me.
