[/color][/font] i can't even trust me[/center] Cierra wasn't allowed to have pets in her apartment. She had always wanted one. In the past, her family thought the idea of a pet in a house of shapeshifters to be a ridiculous idea. After thinking about it, it was one thing she did have to agree with. If you really wanted a friend, just turn into one and spend a week at the dog park to see who you could meet. However, knowing that it wasn't logical to have one didn't make her wanting one any less. She'd probably spoil it, giving it endless food and toys. In her mind, she pictured a fat pet laying in a bunch of useless toys as it was too lazy to move, but it would still have a delightful face when she walked in the door. Even though her apartment was small, she still felt rather lonley sometimes. She didn't have a lot of close friends to visit or to visit her because of her paranoid way of thinking.
Sure, she had plenty of good friends. The ones she would wave polietly to if she saw them walking down the street. Then perhaps she would stop to say hi and have some small talk about what was going on in life. Cierra was always afraid to invite them anywhere though. She didn't want to appear needy and clingy, as that's exactally what she could easily turn into with close relationships. It took quite a bit of patience to become that way with her. Of course, equally clingy people went together perfectly with her. To her, there was really no such thing as too much time together as long as you enjoyed the other person's company. She had to remind herself constantly that other people didn't have the same amount of views. Since she hated to make people annoyed with her, she tried to keep her distance as much as she could.
Recongizing flaws might have been considered a positive, but in Cierra's case, all it did was make her distant from others. All it did was make her over analyzing everything so that she was basically someone else's doormatt. Her eyes darted upward when she heard a high pitched bark, interupting all her deep thoughts. She wasn't sure what she had to think deep about. It seemed that she was always distracted with the easiest simple minded things. At the moment, her distraction was a small puppy, succeeding in grasping her attention. It's big brown eyes stared at her as it's long tounge hung from the side. The picture was absolutely adorable and made Cierra's heart melt instantly. She really had hoped that the city had some sort of volunteer place like her old town did, but all it had was this pet store.
It wasn't too bad though. At least it had this place in case she ever changed her mind or got a new place. She was tempted to ask if she could play with the puppy staring at her, but for some reason, she didn't think she could do it. It was too strange sometimes, carrying a dog, although too adorable. Being a husky it was a little... just strange in general. She hadn't changed in a while, and she was debating to take off work to go for a week. Her enjoyment came from being in a dog form. No one really did much to a stray red husky except lightly pet it or admire it from afar. Cierra was fine with that. Especially the running. Oh, the running was so much fun on all fours! Cierra could go so much faster, feeling the wind she created whipping at her ears and nose. Rolling around in the grass without having to be stared at too much. It was just plain fun for a temporary amount of time.
Looking over at the kittens, she made a slow smile. Though she was a dog, she loved pretty much all. Just being in the store made her in a better mood. The little things in life just really made her feel more at home. This little smile of feeling a kitten's soft paw on your finger or the feel of it's fur under your hand. She would have to return to this place. Since Cierra had an eye for another job, perhaps there was something important she could do here. The issue with her job now was just that she couldn't do it forever. She wanted a carreer. Working at a little coffeeshop wasn't exactally something that she thought she was going to rank up at. It was almost like a friendly fast food place, replacing the grease with chocolate, milk, and caffine. A thought came across her mind as a masseuse, but she would need to be a lot stronger.
Giving up here, she turned and walked out, still looking around at the animals. A bird squaked at her, following a tweet as she exited. The man at the counter made a friendly wave and a flashing smile. She returned the smile, only to barge out of the door almost ramming into someone. It was only when she saw a figure right about to her nose did she back up. Her hand went over her heart, feeling that it raced quickly temporarly. Her eyes had been too close to the target to quite make out who or what it was, so now she looked up at the figure, afraid of what might come out. Sometimes when she had buimped into someone or nearly as she had, very angry raged people had taken out that fire in them out on her. Though they probably didn't mean it to be personal, she took it that way. THE DARK'S DECEIVING [/color][/size] blame it on the telivision[/font] [/center] |

 because in this wintry sky we still believe in fields of hope[/size][/i] [/center] There were times when the shifter actually contemplated suicide.
It was a nasty piece of thought really, Sebastian shuddered as the movie ended, the television screen turning black and soon enough, the credits began rolling. Switching off the television and still shuddering, he laid back on the cough, staring at the ceiling. An odd ending really, the movie. Because the couple couldn't be together, the both of them committed suicide to be together in death. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet really, except that the lad had drink poison believing his love to be dead and Juliet, silly little thing, stabbed herself the moment she saw Romeo dead. Shaking his head and letting out a loud 'argh' of frustration, he disappeared into the toilet to relieve himself, thinking about the movie. His fiancee had died in a plane crash and that had been an accident, but yet as he exited the toilet, he wondered why he hadn't been taken too. They could have perished together and maybe have had that wedding in death. Soon after Marie died, Sebastian had contemplated suicide too, but he had always shut down the idea whenever it popped up and that was quite often. Today after watching that film though...he was starting to have second thoughts again.
A shadow passed across his sunny features at the thought of taking his own life, but it lifted the moment he saw the puppy waiting for him outside, short, stumpy tail wagging cheerfully. The panda smiled fondly and bent down to pick up the dog, ruffling its cream colored head. How could he even think of taking his own life with Koyi still around? Who was going to feed him if his owner died? It was always these thoughts that put Sebastian off on the idea of dying so soon. "You won't leave me right?" he chirped breezily, blue eyes gazing into the dog's soft brown ones. "You won't leave me like she did~?" [/color] The dog yipped in response and taking that as a yes, the panda pulled the Shiba Inu close to him, snuggling him. Even if he was all alone in the world, he still had Koyi and his friends. They would be extremely pissed if he died and he was sure that they could hunt him in down in death let alone in life. Smiling as the cream ball of fur in his arms began to struggle from his embrace, he put the dog down and watched it scamper away towards his empty food bowl. Oops. Completely forgetting that he was supposed to go grocery shopping today and get fresh new dog food, the boy let out a horrified gasp and snatching up his jacket, scooped up the little dog in it and zipped it up. As the dog poked his head out from Sebastian's neck, panting happily, the brunette was out the door in an instant. His apartment didn't exactly allow pets, but being the rule breaker that he was, still brought the puppy home anyway. And whenever the both of them wanted to go out, all he needed was a jacket. He entered the lift with the puppy's head still poking out, much to the bewilderment of an old couple in the lift. "He's cute, is he not?"[/color] Sebastian grinned at the two old humans. At first he was met with incredulous looks, but eventually they succumb to Koyi's adorable puppy eyes. As the lift opened on the ground floor, the couple were busy petting the dog, who clearly was enjoying the attention. Waving a cheery good-bye to the couple, Sebastian made his way towards the pet store, and he could hear his own stomach rumbling already. He wasn't exactly sure whether the store had food for pandas, but he was sure he could get a few leafy greens or two for himself too. Smiling, his hand reached out to open the door when it suddenly opened on his own of his own accord and the last thing he saw was a brown blur and the dog in his jacket squawking as it was bumped. Sebastian leaped backwards, bright blue eyes blinking with bemusement as he looked at the female that had bumped into him. His face broke into a wide smile then: it was Cierra! "Oh, Cierra!" he chirped happily. "You gave Koyi and me a scare! What;'s the rush~? Something after you?"[/blockquote] |

[/color][/font] i can't even trust me[/center] Cierra couldn't move too fast in the skinny jeans she was wearing. They were tight, of course as that was the style of it, but she thought maybe she could go up a size next time. Most of the time she was wearing a skirt, but she voted against it that day. It was a beautiful day, but still a little chilly to be wearing something that didn't cover all of her legs. Cierra was cold so easily. She was the crazy person walking around in a blanket when her house was in the upper seventies. The only time it was really unbareable was when it was upper 90s. Anything was better than what this city experienced in the freezing cold. With the snow and the harsh winds that were whipping across her face. That was a season she never looked forward to. Since it was on the northeast coast, it could get pretty chilly. Oh, but how it was absolutely perfect during the summer.
Relief swayed over her like a wave when she saw that it was one of her friends. Strangers didn't understand her very distracted absent mind. Most thought it was pretty ridiculous that she wouldn't be paying attention on the way out the door. However, Sebastian- Seb- had to understand that it was Cierra being herself. She liked spending time with him. He had that bright spirted attitude that she thought was missed a lot. It always seemed he had a smile on his face. She didn't ask much about what happened in his past, but in return, he didn't seem to ask much about hers. His big blue eyes were staring at her as she ran into him. Her eyes though darted to who was with him. Only the most adorable dog ever. Cierra had met this dog a couple of times only enough to remember his name was Koyi.
She thought Koyi's breed kind of looked like a fox. Cierra didn't know the official name, but that's what she liked to name them. Fox with a cute curly tail. A bright smile stretched across her face as her eyes lightened up with the company, "Sorry Seb! It was the counter guy waving and smiling. You know I can't wave and pay attention at the same time! That would be multi-tasking." Then she turned her attention to the dog. She was in the petting mood after coming out of the pet store. Her hand reached for Koyi and gently started scratching his ears and his back. Cierra's nails were long enough to give a good stratch. She could never get over how cute these dogs were. It made her want a dog in her apartment even more. In her experience, depending on the animal of course, animals were generally better than humans. More loyal. Maybe that's why all the shapeshifters she knew of reflected greatly on the animal they transformed into. Take Seb for example, pandas were generally kind and uplifting, exactally what Seb also was.
She looked over at him with a small smile, "I can never get over what a cute dog this is." She giggled, now turning her attention to Seb, but not stopping absentmindedly petting him. It was a little strange having a dog pet another dog, but maybe that's what got along with dogs so well. "How have you been?" She asked rather sweetly, tilting her head and contiuning to walk in the direction he had been facing. Her head turned to take one last glance at the pet store, as they had those fox dog breeds that Koyi was in puppy form. If she ever got a dog, she would have to get a husky to run with. However, it might have been too... self serving. Though if she was going to get the same species, she might as well pick the same breed while she was at it.
