My One best pet

Cinderella ran into the woods feeling despair as her friends declined her offer to play with them. She found herself a log of dried wood where she Squat soobing silently.

As she sat prim in the old dried wood, legs crossed and fingers intertwined over one knee, she heard a squeak grunts running around attics and walls void and continually she heard the rubbing sounds. She searched in the open woods and still didn't get the direction to which the sound was coming from.
Just as she was about to leave, everything went black as she slipped, suspending herself to the air , hurtling to an invisible floor when her feet pushed a cut off tree resting on another . Lying in the pain of her fall she saw a small creature cuddled at the bottom of the tree.

The eyes were blue and innocent, the fur mixed with silver gray, sparkling white and Cinderella felt loved toward it.

"She must have been forgotten by her mother" Cinderella concluded as she took the little creature home.

All smiled up, Cinderella considered the day to have ended well having found a little friend to which she can play with.

"Mum,dad please let me keep this as a pet" she requested

"And what kind of a creature is this" ? In unison, they asked

"I don't know , but it could die being abandoned in the wood all alone" she replied

"I just hope ,it doesn't grow up to be a harmful one" the dad added

"Why not get yourself , a domestic pet" the mum asked

"Please let me keep this" she pleaded

After some thought, the both parents agreed to let her keep it , with a Condition that it do be thrown out if in any means , it causes inconviency .

Cinderella found comfort with her new found creature despite her parent gave a low spirit to it, the fear of what the unknown creature may grow up into sent a grip of fear that enveloped their trust and they watched closely.

50 years later

Lying almost unconsciously in the broken items resulted from a terrific fight, Rio ,Cinderella's dad noticed the now full grown creature fighting for the family's sake. How the creature got a sense of it shepherd remained a mystery to him.

Few years ago, the creature had ran into the forest and no one believed it was coming back and that was just fine by them. Because at a point it became weird keeping a pet of a wild beast though was not in anyway causing them harm. Now it was back serving as a defender to their great empire.
