Hello again, Forest.
I am sitting with a doe who tells me her name is Poltergeist. Miss Poltergeist. It sounds a lovely name. And she, like her name, is very lovely.
We are by the Pond. It's raining. The rain brings back...not memories, but...feelings of memories, as if there are strong things related to that rain that I should remember. But I don't. I don't remember anything. Even with Mick - should I call others by titles? 'Sir Mick'? It seems too formal - answering all my questions, I remember nothing.
Flame just ran by. I wish I could get up and play with him, but it's so warm here. Miss Poltergeist is curled around me. Isn't she cold? She's asleep.
I love the Pond, but in the rain it feels sad, somehow. Sad, and pretty. Bad things have happened here. I can almost taste it in the water. I don't think I'll come around here much when it's raining again. I'll stay at the river.
Deer are...visiting us, trying to gain fur spells from us. I don't think they know I'm secretly awake. I want them to stop roaring in my ear, it hurts.
...
When I woke today, I was surprised to find the water falling down on me. I was confused when I thought 'rain'. Mick has mentioned it to me, along with snow and sunshine, but why do I know which is which? Apparently I know basic things, general things, but I can't even remember my...
...my...
...'old life'? Is that what it was...? Mick says I was probably 'human' before.
I don't know what 'human' is.
What if something bad happened to me and I won't want to remember it once I do?
A deer is still sitting with us. I think that's okay. I don't mind. But I worry that Poltergeist might.
No no, she's friendly.
Anyway.
I found Poltergeist sitting by a tree. I'd seen her before, there, in that very spot. Curious as ever, I sat behind another tree to watch her for a little while, but she spotted me and stood. I backed away around the tree before realising she could see me and that broke the ice, I think.
Then something shocked me.
Her stomach was large. Round.
She was...
...
It took me a few seconds before the word came to me, and I understood.
Pregnant.
Carrying a fawn, or maybe even two fawns! I don't know, I didn't ask because I was shy.
But she let me press my ear to her stomach, and I could hear movement. Then I felt a kick, and jolted. She laughed, chuckling lightly. It made my heart warm. Poltergeist felt...alive. The fawn or fawns in her felt alive. It was a new experience, and it was wonderful.
Poltergeist is lovely.
I feel protective of her, but I'm just a fawn.
We were sort of...chase-forced into spelling a stag with a pelt. He then looked like what I've heard is a 'real deer'. He looked boring to me. Handsome and nice, but boring. Looking from the stag to Poltergeist, I knew which one I found more interesting. The stag scared me.
I've heard that 'real deer' try to be pretty and such for does and stags. That made me snort. When I grow up and am hopefully able to keep an appearance, I won't look like that.
The Forest isn't empty and some deer are mooing, yet it still feels very quiet. Rain, I think, makes me feel that I need solitude.
Although Poltergeist seems to have many friends, I feel that she needs some alone time too, occassionally.
She makes for good company.
Thankyou, Miss Poltergeist. Or just Poltergeist.
Thankyou.

cool epicness.
"Hello Rhapsody! It was quite
It was quite nice to meet you, thank you for keeping me company today. The rain is not my favourite weather, brings back memory's, but I try to stay cheerfull under it! You're very sweet, and my fawns are quite active huh? Made me laugh they had to show their livelyness just as you were listening. They're twins, indeed, I'm sure you three could be friends when they're here. It's still going to take a while.
Hm.. The big stag worked on my nerves, I'm sorry about that, I normally don't turn hostile. I try to be a bit more cautious lately. Although you did a great job to protect me, haha!
Look after yourself Rhapsody. If you ever have anything troubleing you, know that you can come to me.
Much love,
Poltergeist."
