The Sparrow's Truth
Chapter 1-A Forgotten Memory
"Once upon a time, God told the sparrow to tell all the animals that they were invited to God's banquet tomorrow and not to be late. When the sparrow took flight, she went to find her two best friends, the rat and the cat. They were all the best of friends, but the cat and the sparrow both loved each other and the rat knew that. Unfortunately, the rat loved the sparrow, too, and grew very jealous of the cat. When the sparrow found her friend the rat and told him of the glorious news, her friend the rat told her, 'Sparrow, I will tell our friend the cat of this wonderful news. Please continue your flight to tell the others.' The sparrow thanked the rat and continued her flight to tell the other animals. The rat searched for the cat, and when he found the cat, he told him that the banquet was the day after tomorrow. The cat thanked the rat and went off to sleep."
"What is going to happen to the cat Cara?" Asked a young orange-haired boy.
"Just wait and listen to the story, Kyo," said Cara. "The sparrow found out of the rat's plans and searched all night but couldn't find the cat. The sparrow flew up to God and told him that she had told the cat the wrong day as a joke but when she went to tell him the truth she could not find the cat. When God heard this, he grew very angry and banished the sparrow for playing a joke and banished the cat for being lazy. The rat was sad when he heard that the sparrow took the blame for what he had done, but he knew that she wanted him to stay at the banquet, so he stayed at the banquet and forgot all about what he had done."
"Cara! Are you almost done!" shouted Akito.
"Yes, Akito. Give us just a few more minutes," Cara said. Cara could feel Kyo's staring eyes on the side of her head, but she just continued with the story. "The cat grew angry at the rat for tricking him and getting the sparrow in trouble. The rat and the cat fought every day for the rest of their lives over that subject. But day after day, fight after fight, the sparrow grew sadder and sadder. Then one day, the sparrow grew sick of her friends fighting and flew away. That just made both the cat and the rat even angrier than they had been before. Then the fights never stopped. The rat and cat couldn't even see each other without a fight."
"Cara. If I'm the cat, who are you?" Kyo asked.
"I'm the sparrow, Kyo." Cara replied.
"Do you love me?"
"Yes, I do, Kyo. I do love you."
"Cara, do it now." Akito said in an evil voice.
"Do what, Cara? What do you have to do?"
"I'm so sorry, Kyo." Cara placed her hands over his eyes and tears started to stream down her face. She leaned close to Kyo and whispered in his ear, "I love you more than anything and everything."
"I love you that way, too." Still not understanding what she was about to do, he asked, "Cara, are you going away? If you are, will you never forget me?"
"I promise. I'll never forget you, Kyo. Never." Cara closed her eyes and then Kyo fell back onto the ground. Cara just sat there in disbelief of what she had just done. The silent tears continued to stream down her face and fall onto her hand.
"That's a good girl, Cara. Get used to that. You'll be suppressing memories for the rest of your life," Akito hissed with a smirk on his face.
"NO! NEVER AGAIN WILL I DO THAT TO ANYONE! NEVER!" Cara shouted as she pushed herself of the ground then dashed into the garden.
