*Cerrous pulls a book out of a drawer.* Pokey wrote this. Its the story of my life evidently. Why you want to know about the crap I went through beats me but read it if you want.

Strife
"Would you just create it already?"
"I'm going to need a name for him sir."
"Its… Slave. Can I go now?"
"Slave is taken sir. However Slave101 is free."
"Fine, just create it already"
"There your are sir! I hope you have-"
"Whatever. I'm outta here."
The boy stormed out of the creation center with an aisha being held by the scruff of its neck. After a while he reached a large neohome, walked in, and tossed the aisha onto a nearby chair. The little aisha didn't seam to notice he'd just been thrown, and hoped down to follow his new owner.
"Meow!" The little aisha said (for pets can't talk right from the start), and the thing began to purr and rub against the boy's leg as a real cat would.
The boy glared at the tiny fur ball. He almost felt bad for it. It was sort of cute for an idiotic, mindless, brainwashing instrument. It was red, and, unlike the other aishas that were there, had darker red bands around its legs, stalk ears, and tail. It also had something even more unique about it. It had black messy hair atop its little head, and emerald green eyes. It reminded the boy of Harry Potter. Which of course, the boy thought was a dumb book, another tool created to brainwash us all into idiots. Because of this unjust opinion he hated the stupid fuzz ball even more.
"Get off me stupid imbecile!" The boy shouted and kicked the poor thing clear across the room. It hit the wall with a thump, and fell to the floor. There it cried out, but didn't return to its feet.
Slave was shocked. This wasn't what he saw every day at the creation center. He closed his eyes and thought back to the time he had spent there.

The aisha had been put in an enclosed area, near the back of the aisha room with the rest of the pets with strange markings. This didn't seam to bother him though. He thought it made him special to not be running and playing with the others down on the floor. He was quiet by nature and kept to himself. He did like watching the happy people come in and search for a good pet. The aisha never realized that he spent eight days there. Which was much longer than what most aishas spent, waiting for the perfect owner.
He was asleep when the boy, his soon to be owner, stomped in. All the aishas backed away sensing his displeasure, but future Slave101 just kept sleeping. The boy glared around the room and grumbled his way to the enclosed area where he scooped of the first one he saw and then stormed back out.
The little aisha awoke when he was dropped onto a counter. He stretched and looked up to see a boy and a lady on talking over the counter. He didn't catch most of there conversation but they were talking about names. the aisha suddenly realized what was going on. He was being created! This boy was his owner! He meowed happily and was suddenly picked up by the scruff of his neck.

Slave opened his eyes. Now he was here, in a strange house, with an owner nothing like the ones he saw coming in and out of the creation center. He was very confused. Slave got to his feet and went to seek out his strange owner.
When he found him, he was sitting at a kitchen table eating a large Sunday that looked very good. He licked his lips and meowed. The boy glared at him.
"What do you want?" he sneered.
"Meow!" the aisha said and begged for a bit of his Sunday.
A cruel look crossed the boy's face. "What makes you think I'll feed you? You're never getting anything."
~*~
This cruel treatment went on for a very long time. Slave was never feed, played with, in fact the boy gave no notice that the aisha was even there. Finally Slave realized why. The boy was a hacker. He hated Neopets, and wanted to make it miserable. Slave didn't know much but he had been told stories at the creation center. One pet told him about hackers. They were nasty people that broke into other people's accounts to take their money. They lied, cheated, and were just plain rotten. Hackers were bad.
The Aisha was scared. It was dying of hunger and it hated that mean boy who took him from the creation center. Slave decided he was going to go back to the warm creation center where the people were nice. So during the night he snuck to the refrigerator to get food to eat. He was terrified the boy would find him and his heart jumped at every strange shadow. Somehow he made it out. He was outside. Free from the mean boy. But he had no idea what awaited him.
~*~
Slave had now idea where he was going. He was small, and still very young. It was cold too. He'd been searching for the creation center for 3 days now. His food supply had run out. The only thing that kept him going was the thought of finding the nice, kind owner he deserved when he got to the creation center. Slave was positive that Neopia was filled with kind loving creatures. But so far he hadn't seen much of that. He saw people fighting desperately for small, insignificant things under a tree. He saw pets fighting just for glory. He saw owners forcing their pets to train endlessly. Neopets that thought they were better than others because of a trophy, expensive color or item. He saw people cheating and lying in order to make there pets the best in pointless competitions. The hopeful light of finding a kind soul was dying out, and the Aisha was cold and alone in a world of cruelty.
~*~
It had now been two weeks since he'd run away. He had been from Neopia Central, to Merridell, and now he found himself in a strange world high above the planet where funny looking neopets with big eyes, and stubby antennas ran around eating space food.
Slave rather liked this place. It was quiet, and he managed to steal some food every day. He decided he would stay here, for now he realized that if there were kind people out there, they probably didn't want him. Slowly, he made his way back to the tiny, broke down, rusty, one-person space pod he'd adopted as his home. His life was simple. Every day he'd protect his home from curious travelers that didn't care if they were stealing someone's home. Also the same pack of Chias kept trying to take over. He didn't worry because they weren't a problem. They seamed to be scared of him, and would run in terror when he came back.
After terrorizing the little Chia gang, he hoped into his ship and ate the two Slim Jims and half a slushy he'd found. It wasn't much and he didn't like Slim Jims but it was better than nothing. Then he curled up and went to sleep. Waiting for another day of scrounging and home guarding.
Late during the night Slave was awoken by to rough voices. Groggy and sleep deprived he lifted to see two hideous Grundos waddling there way towards his home.
"Something there." One grunted. "Me think it alive."
The other one replied, "Go get. We take to boss"
The brown one nodded and waddled closer to the ship where Slave was. He was holding a sack.
"Great. An ambush." He though and got ready to run. He knew he couldn't take on two Grundos.The big lug lifted the sack and prepared to scoop up the Aisha just as he jumped from the ship. Only he had messed up. The Grundo was too close and Slave ended up jumping on top of him. Both lost balance and fell to the ground. Quickly, the other Grundo came and captured the Aisha before he could make an escape.
"Great. Now what." The he thought and was stuffed into a bag.

Kato and Chicken Man

"What" turned out to be a dirty, broken down warehouse with hundreds of different pets locked in cages. The Grundos threw Slave into one with another pet and went to find "Boss". Slave had a feeling that Boss wouldn't be a very friendly guy. He sighed and tuned to meet his new cellmate. When he saw him though he got a bit of a shock. He was an Aisha and was huddled in the back corner staring at him as though he were an alien. But the Aisha were something of an alien its self. The poor guy had horrible mutations. It was definitely an Aisha but it was a lime green color and had scales instead of fur. It had a fish tail where its normal tail would be and webbed paws. The number 47 looked as though it was branded onto his left shoulder.
"Um… Hello." was all he could manage to say. He didn't want to insult the strange thing in front of him, but he wasn't sure if it would be friendly.
The lime green Aisha seamed to relax a bit when he realized the Grundos had left, but he was still tense.
"What happened?" he asked hoping he wasn't insulting the fish-aisha thing in front of him.
"The green chicken man. He does things to you." The aisha-fish shuddered as if remembering how he ended up like this.
This was very confusing. Chicken man? How did this Aisha end up like that? "Tell me how you got here. Tell me what he did." He says quietly.
The creature noded and tells him how he used to be a green Aisha named Kato, and had just been created. His new owned took him to the space station to celebrate but he was kidnapped by the chicken man's grundos. They took him here and locked him up. After a while they took him out and he thought they were letting him go but they took him to the chicken man. There, the chicken man branded him with a number, and force-feed him a strange potion. It mutated his DNA and turned him half Koi half Aisha. Then they gave him other stuff to turn him other things but he remained half Aisha half Koi. So chicken man declared him useless and threw him back into his cage and he hadn't been out since.
The aisha was disgusted and horrified by Kato's story. How can neopians do that? What right do they have to destroy an innosent pet? Kato asked how he got here and Slave began to tell his own story of pain and suffering. When he had finnished an unspoken friendship formed between the two. Silently, they vowed to get out of here together.
~*~
"Get me another. Quickly you idiots." A harsh, cold voice penetrated Slave's dreamless sleep. He raised his head slowly, squinted, trying to penetrate the darkness of the warehouse. He saw shapes moving. Slave knew they were henchmen.
"Kato!" he whispered, praying the grundos had not herd.
"Kato!" he whispered a bit louder this time. Kato stirred.
"S'madder?" he mumbled in a sleepy daze.
"Kato, grundos are coming." He whispered a note of urgency in Slave's voice.
Kato suddenly became wide-awake. He nodded to slave, barely visible in the pitch-black cage. This was what they'd been waiting for. Slave would catch their attention pointing out that he was awake and a perfect candidate for the chicken man's needs. When the grundo unlocked the cage. Slave and Kato would attack. Somehow they'd get out of the where house, and out of the space station. They get out. just as they had planned.
"Are they close?" Kato whispered, silently coming next to stripe. "Don't know. Should I do something?" slave whispered back. He strained to here for footsteps.
"Wait until we know they'll here you." He replied quietly. Soon as Kato had finished replying a light flickered at the end of the cage wall. It barely illuminated a single grundo. He seamed clueless and stared expectantly at the cages, as if they were to open magically and a pet would just appear in front of him for him to take.
Kato gave slave a poke in the back. Slave took this as his signal and gave a loud meow.
The flashlight sped to the other end of the cages.
"Meow!" he shouted again. The grundo's footsteps were getting closer. Slave stuck out a paw and waved it around hoping to catch his attention. The grundo seamed to get the point and soon came to face Kato and Slave's cage.
"You do." He grunted and pulled a key from his pocket.
Slave gave a fleeting glance to Kato. This was it. They were getting out.
The cage door flew open and the aishas leapt from it, onto the grundo. Doing all they could to injure him enough to get away. It was a vicious battle. Slave and Kato bite and scratched like mad, and the grundo flailed his arms, striking the two of them hard. Kato fell to the ground. Slave left the grundo and ready to run off with Kato to freedom. But with a sickening crunch the grundo stepped on Kato in his panic to fight off Slave, breaking Kato's small body.
"NO!" slave shouted and dashed to his friend's side. Kato was breathing slowly, his eyes flickered open.
"Kato." Slave whispered. Not seeing the grundo preparing to grab him.
"Run." Kato whispered horsly. Then his body went limp and he loss consciousness. The grundo scooped up Slave. And for once, Slave didn't care for getting away. Because Slave knew Kato was gone. The only kind soul he'd ever met, and now he'd never see him again.

Anthro

The large steel door slowly opened. Slave could only wonder if this was the end. He would soon learn exactly who Chicken Man was.
"Got one." Grunted the grundo holding Slave hostage.
"Quickly put him there." A cold, heartless voice commanded.
Slave strained to make out a face but the light was too dim. He was tossed onto a cold, metal table and a signal hanging light flicked on above him. It illuminated two figures. The first was the grundo that had caused the death of Kato, and the second was a creature neither pet nor human. It was what looked like a very tall man that was a sickly shade of green. What slave assumed was hair were three, feathery locks that stuck off the top of his head. He looked like a rooster that had eaten something bad. Slave recognized him only from a picture he'd seen in an old Neopian Times. He was the Chicken Man. And the Chicken Man was Sloth.
"So, you and your little friend tried to get away did you?" his cold voice hissed. Slave turned, and stared, unblinkingly into Sloth's empty eyes. Slave could barely keep himself from shuddering. Sloth was heartless.
"But your escape failed of course. It will only result in testing for you. As for your fishy friend, I've been told he received the ultimate punishment. Shame. He would have been useful in what I will soon do to you." Sloth's eyes flashed menacingly and the corner of his mouth curled upward.
Slave bared his sharp feline teeth. He would not let sloth disrespect Kato. He was the only friend Slave had ever had. He may not have known him long but he was still his friend. That alone meant something. Sloth released a cold, dark laugh. "Attacking will get you nowhere but more suffering. I would think you'd know that now." Sloth began to pace, his green hands clasp behind his back. "I know you have noticed my odd appearance. Can you guess why I look this way aisha?" He paused, narrowing his eyes at slave, daring him to guess. Slave did nothing but continued to glare daggers at Sloth.
" I suppose I will have to tell you then." Sloth's pacing commenced and he continued. " I was not always the thing you see now. I was originally a pitiful, weak, green Lenny. A plain simple Neopet just as you are. I despised this wrechid "Neopia" and the happiness that flourished there. The owners were weak. Of course humans always have been so. Still they held all power over there pets. I despised them. Each and every one of them. I swore one day I would control them instead of their weak minds controlling me. But how? I thought. How can I, a mere lenny, control humans, our great superior? Simple. I could no longer be a lenny. For any plan I had would not succeed if I remained in a Neopet form. So I began to create a potion that would strip me of my lenny appearance and turn me human. I would only look human though, for my far superior and intelligent Lenny brain would remain so I could better manipulate the real humans. I spent day, weeks, even years perfecting it. Until one day I though I had finally achieved my goal. I drank my prized potion but something went wrong. Instead of becoming human I became only part human. I remained green, though the color darkened. And the three long feathers atop my head had turned to something that resembled hair. I was completely mutated. Horrified, I tried everything to my original state but nothing changed my condition. I was stuck in my half human, half lenny form. I was what the Humans now call Anthro." Sloth reached the corner of the streel table again, turned on his heal, and came to face Slave, who had remained perfectly still his entire story, staring into the space in front of him.
"You may wonder why I bother to tell you this." Sloth barely whispered, but slave herd him clear.
"It is because," he continued. "I have continued to work on the formula that originally turned me to this state," Sloth leaned in a bit, coming closer to Slave. "And now I feel the time is ripe to test it once more." He straightened and turned to the grundo in the shadows. "Brand him."
A part of Slave told him to run, to do something to save himself from the fate before him. But he couldn't he was frozen in fear. Slave's only thought was that everything was over. That he would soon be joining Kato, wherever he was. He could here the grundo, fiddling with something metal in the background.
"What number he?" The grundo grunted.
Number. They were going to brand him with a number just as Kato had been branded. A sick feeling formed in his stomach as he remembered the way Kato looked as he told his story of his painful mutation. Would the same happen to him? Or would Sloth's plan succeed, and Slave would be turned human. Slave was so caught up in his thoughts of his fate that he nearly jumped when a white-hot pain surged through his arm. He cried out and looked at his right shoulder, eyes watering from the pain. On his shoulder were the numbers 86, branded to his skin. He glared at Sloth, trying to ignore the pain. Sloth seemed to mock him. His eyes danced menacingly. Calmly he walked to a shelf on the wall and picked up a small vial, full of a thick, creamy liquid. It was the vial that would soon decide Slave's life.

The Tightrope
Falling,
Allwas falling,
Plummet to the earth,
But Earth's not comming.
Reaching,
Keep on reeching,
Reach to grab the rope
Its just out of my grasp.
Where did I lose balance?
When did I lose grip?
I'm falling from a tightrope.
The Tightrope of Life Thank God For You
Dark, cold, crying, screaming,
Can't forget,
Never forget,
Images burned in my mind.

The gun,
The shot,
The realization,
The last breath.

It's my fault.
I let this happen,
I should be dead.
I'm the one to blame.

Thank god for you.
You accepted the truth,
You brought me back from the dark.
I love you with all my heart
Thank god for you.

No One Understands

I could never tell you.
and no one understands.
This feeling is driving me crazy.
What I want to do I can't.
And no one, no one understands

*you hear footsteps in the hall and haistly you turn the laptop off and put it back before Cerrous sees you.*
