Neal stays with Seashadow's family till shi finally located the local Human First cell


In minutes Seashadow signed the appropriate forms and took the newly named Glowlight to her PTV and they drove through the city. Neal observed the scenery, getting the lay of the land for hir eventual escape. After twenty minutes they arrived and a nice large one story house. Neal followed Seashadow and the older chakat opened the door and declared. "Love I'm home with our new daughter."That cause Neal to wince and that declaration. Another adult chakat with brown gold fur and sky blue hair appeared and nuzzled Seashadow's muzzle and the emotions of love Neal got nearly caused hir to gag. Then a dark streak appeared and stop to resolve itself into a black furred chakat with light blue hair. Shi sniffed Neal before going to hir parents for a hug. "You just met our daughter Nightsea. Nightsea Windbreeze meet Glowlight." Before shi could react shi was hugged by the other adult.

"Welcome to our house Glowlight."

'Wow they really put on the act.' Neal thought to hirself. The other chakat, Windbreeze ended the hug and frowned a bit at hir.

"Well let's show you your room." Neal allowed the animal to lead hir to said room as he glanced around. Shi saw a living room with many couches with a chair or two as well as a nice screen to watch shows and news from. That led into a hallway with a few closes doors that shi passed till they got to the on at the end of the hall. "Here you go Glowlight. I did my best to make it ready and have a few things for you to have fun with." The door opened and Neal looked into hir room. First shi saw a nice size mattress with a pillow. Then a small dresser with some stuff toys on top of it and a desk with a PADD on a stand. Shi checked the closet and found a handful of clothing tops. Some very feminine the rest very masculine. "I wasn't sure of your preference Glowlight so I have some of both. One of the two baskets on the floor is for laundry the other is for what you don't want. Welcome to the family Glowlight." The door shut behind hir and Neal raced for thr PADD with turned on and flashed a Welcome to then family message before going to the menu screen. While there was many programs perfect for the age his body was now at it still had the more advice features. Shi then took a close look at the PADD itself. While not top of the line it was still brand new and in he middle range for PADDs. At most when shi was growing up shi might have gotten a low end or used PADD. They bought this just for hir? One is a cop so not rich there, shi was unsure of the other. But why giver hir this? They couldn't actually care about hir. They didn't know hir and it was probably a trick to gain favors in the future. That's what hir dad always said. 'Son, those animals took away are rightful place in the world. Sure they may treat you with kindness but deep down it's to keep us complacent so they can quietly rule over us. Don't trust it.' Well shi wasn't buying it and started looking through the PADD and it's connection to the net. He had to fine the local cell on the planet. Considering it was Chakona it would be small but there would be a cell. He started going to the front sights and manage to log in and started looking around. But wasn't finding much on Chakona at all. This was going to take a awhile. Shi lost track of time search for them when there was a knock at the door.

"Glowlight, supper is ready." Neal frowned but the gurgle in hir stomach told hir shi needed to eat. So shi put the PADD down and left the room.

The three animals were at the table and they had a place set for hir. Shi took it and they started handing hir food. Shi took those shi knew shi liked and began eating. "so Glowlight, how do you like your room?" This Neal could answer honestly.

"It's nice but need to get rid of the girly stuff though."

"Then just put them in the basket I suggested and we'll keep them for little Nightsea." Neal just rolled hir eyes and took a bite of steak. Shi frowned. Didn't taste right. Oh yeah shi forgot the salt. Shi looked and saw it on the other side of the table. Shi raised hir hand and about to ask for it when it flew into hir hand on it's own. Shi looked at it shock as well as the others. Nightsea was the first to break the silence by saying.

"Can I do that?" Hir parents shook there heads at that.

"Well looks like we need to find a Bluepaw Skunktaur to train you." Seashadow finally commented. Glowlight just shrugged and put some salt on hir steak and continue eating. After supper shi continue looking for the Chakona cell till they told hir bedtime and to hir surprise shi was so shi went to bed and fell asleep right away.

"Focus Glowlight, see AND feel the cup." Rendrel told hir and shi tried. For a week shi had been taken to the near by Skunktaur learning hir talent. Shi went along with it for it could be useful for hir escape. When shi opened hir eyes she saw the cup levitating off the floor. Shi then managed to moved it around before putting it down on the table. "Very good Glowlight. You did that very well." Rendel hugged hir from behind and it shi smiled. Shi liked succeeding no matter was it it was. But hir smiled faded. The last person to hug hir like that was hir sister. Hir parents weren't great but shi and hir sister were close. They made each others lives worth living. Then the mugging happened. Shi was going to meet her and saw a Badger morph pull a knife on her and tempted to take her purse when the police arrived. Hir sister had moved into the southern GNA after disagreeing with their parents about morphs and moved into the more morph friendly country. Neal was willing to tolerate it for hir sister's sake so the cops were morphs. One biped one taur. They were at a stalemate as the badger held the knife to her throat and tried to back away and demanding that the cops back off. Neal grew very concern as the badger edge near an incline. Hir sister lived in an area that was hilly. The hill by her apartment was as tall as two stories. The Badger so concern on the cops who didn't back off that he failed to notice where he was so he tripped and fell taking hir sister with. Neal had run over and look down with the cops following. The badger was dead with his neck at the angle but hir sister and spurting blood from a cut on her neck. Neal raced to hir side and she manage to look at her brother before dying. Neal couldn't stand the animals after that. But what confused hir was Seashadow's family. Besides the occasional chore they never asked hir for anything and give the appearance of caring for hir. And they weren't rich. Windbreeze worked at home on hir computer yet they could afford the PADD they gave hir. That just confused hir. They did a couple more exercises till Windbreeze picked hir up. As they head home Windbreeze tried to get a conversation going. "So how was your lessons?"

"They went well, getting a better handle on the talent."

"That's good to here." And the conversation just died. Windbreeze sensed neutral emotions from Glowlight. After getting home Glowlight did the typical. Go to hir room and play on the PADD.

That night as Windbreeze laid down with hir mate and addressed hir concerns. "Honey I'm worried about Glowlight. Shi hardly talks and doesn't really socialized. The teachers at school say that shi is bored but answers the questions well but during lunch sits alone unless some deliberately do so."

"My love we can't even imagine what shi went through at that lab. We have no idea how long shi was in their, maybe as soon as it was completed. Ad shi is stuck with us. We searched all federation records and no match. Shi literally has no family but us. If shi is ever going to open up to us it has to be in hir own time and terms. No enough talk of this. I had a rough day and need certain attention." Windbreeze got an evil grin.

"Okay hun, you will now reap the Whirlwind." Thus began a lengthy seesion of passion between to the two.

A month has passed and Windbreeze was out on an errand leaving Glowlight in charge. Admittedly neal was shocked shi would do this but Windbreeze said shi was old enough and mature enough to handle Nightsea. And that was fairly easy remembering how hir sister took care of him at times. But Neal was pretty happy for another reason. He finally found the Chakona cell and by irony it had and old friend of his with it. Shi left a message filled with things only Neal would know and was waiting for a reply as shi went into the kitchen for a snack when shi bumped into Nightsea. Shi looked down as the little thing got up without crying. Tough little thing neal admitted to hirself. "And what are you doing Nightsea?"

"Just trying to get a cookie." Neal looked up and saw the jar above the fridge. The cubs parents put it there to keep the cub from eating them all. But a kid no matter the species will always try to get them. Well the little thing has been good and dinner still a ways away. Using hir talent and got a cookie and leaned down to Nightsea.

"Now only one okay?" The little cub nods and Neal handed hir the cookie. The cub then hugged hir foreleg and said.

'Thanks sis." And ran off eating the cookie leaving a shock Neal behind. The little animal considered hir a sister? Shi;s been with this family too long. Shi had to get back to where shi belonged. Shi walked back to hir room and checked hir PADD and there was a response. Neal? Man I can't believe I heard from you. You just disappeared Rumor has that your ship was attacked. We fear the worse. Neal typed back.

_My ship was by pirates and was held captive for a while. They changed me and I need help. I'm currently in Amistad Chakona. Where and when can you meet in person?_After a couple minutes shi got a response.

I can meet tonight my friend. How's in the alley way on Chubar street at 1 am?

I can find it. Just be prepared for a different look from me.

_See you then my friend._Neal sign out of there and decided to try out the other features till the adult animals came home and they had dinner. Shi then faked sleeping for an hour or two before getting out of the house through hir window. Shi consulted hir PADD as when went to the meeting with a cloak covering hir features.

Shi manage to get to the alleyway before hir friend Jack. Shi waits in the shadow and minutes later hir friend shows up. He was black and in his mid thirties and fit. He looked around. "Neal, you here?"

"Yeah I am buddy." Shi stepped out of the shadows and pulled back hir hood. Jack flinched and Neal explained. "Some crazy doctor hired a pirate crew to attack my ship and take me so he could get revenge and his revenge was making me like this. I need your help get be human again my friend." Jack's face went from one of shock to rage which Neal felt.

"You dare use my friend's name like this. You are not him, you are an animal."

"No Jack it is ME NEAL!" Jack just shook his head and looked away and nodded. It was then that neal sense two more nearby and suddenly grab hir. "JACK WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Taking care of an animal." he said coldly and began punching Neal. Neal cried out in pain and asked Jack to stop. But to no avail and shi was forced to the ground more from the projection of hatred shi got from the others. Then something broke in hir. Shi did not survive a priate attack and being transformed to die here. With a roar she pushed them with hir talent. They hit the walls hard and slumped to the ground and stayed there. Shi slowly got up and felt all the bruises shi had and limped to the edge of the alley before collapsing in a heap. Hir was hurt bad but the more painful was the emotional pain. One of hir trusted friends had just try to kill hir and with such hatred. Shi was just hearing a siren and shi thankfully passed out.
