The Beginning

This story first starts at a time long before Samantha or Justin was born, a time where tyrants were in rule. It just so happened that these story’s will line up soon enough, but as the story goes...

Long ago there was a boy, lined up to take the throne after his father. He goes by the name of Alek. Further down the kingdom there was a spirit, she went by the name of Gee. Now Gee wasn’t a normal spirit, but a spirit that was connected to a cat. She could only be seen by a human if she turns into a cat.

Everyday she would make her way down to the castle and watch the boy as he grew into a man, but he would always see her as a cat. Days after days it was the same routine, go to the castle and spend the day with the prince.

Alek’s father passed away from the flu just as he turned 19, and once he was made into the new tyrant the elders told him he needed to find a princess to make his concubine. First Gee was happy for him to finally get the throne, but after it set in she realized that she had fell in love with him. Gee became depressed quickly not knowing what to do she stopped going down to the castle. Alek thought it was strange that the cat hasn’t returned after a couple days, but was to caught up in his work to do anything. Five days have gone by and Gee had a sudden thought, “maybe I can find a way to be with him.” Going around to every other spirit asking for as much help as they can give her she met a spirit by the name of James. He had told her, “ I can help you, but it will effect the future.” Not thinking about it she quickly accepted his offer. He went away to do his work, and after a day he told her “If you sign this scroll you will become human, you will never be able to turn back to a spirit. Know this though, once generations and generations pass of your family there will be a child who will possess the same power of you to turn into a cat. It will not be in their control what time they shift. It might be a huge burden...

I have spoken.”

Gee signs daydreaming about meeting the tyrant not listening to what the spirit had to say. Just as the spirit had said though once she signed she was a human. She shifted into a cat and ran towards the castle, toward the one she loved. Once she got to him she had realized she was to late...

He had already chosen someone. Amanda the princess of the neighboring kingdom.

In shock Gee ran away, but she didn’t know where she was going. On the edge of the kingdom that lead to the forest, she ran in. Shifting into a cat she ran deeper and deeper. For five days she lay. The sun was shining bright and the breeze was warm. Gee got up hungry, she went to a tree turned to a cat and climbed up to catch a bird. She was close to catching one til she felt a hot burning feeling in her back. In shock she turned her head to see an arrow right in her back. Gee didn’t have enough strength to hold on the the branch and fell.

She was in pain and life was flooding out of her. With the energy she had left she glanced up to see the tyrant with coming closer with the bow put back on his back. Alek had noticed what he had done, picking up Gee. She died right as he picked her up unshifting. In shock at the human that was once a cat he buried her right there.

The scroll she signed had been broken when she died, but because the tyrant had killed her it has been passed off onto him.
