[center][=10][i][=darkcyan]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.
