This is my first real story and it's kinda strange at parts, but bear with me. Any support will be appreciated. There's a small foreword at the top, but the rest is all story. Thanks a lot for reading!","content":"(Hi everyone! \u0026nbsp;This is my first attempt at a story and it'll be kinda strange but that's how I envisioned my \"fursona\". \u0026nbsp;If it's bad, sorry. \u0026nbsp;This hopefully will be the first part of a series, but I'm not sure yet. \u0026nbsp;Sorry for the lack of action but this is mostly a prologue of sorts and there will be more character development in the future. \u0026nbsp;Thanks for reading!)  \n  \n \"Well then, I should be heading home, night shift's finally over.\" \u0026nbsp;I say my goodbyes to my co-workers and change into some clean yoga clothes and head out for the train. \u0026nbsp;Ordinarilly, I'd get a ride back home from my friend back to the North Side, where the non-furs live because based on my appearence, I look fully human to most, and I looked even more so at one point. \u0026nbsp;But anyway, today I have to walk to the subway and try my luck there. But I'll tell you a bit about myself.  \n  \n I was a blonde freshman at North High. \u0026nbsp;Super popular and all that high school stuff. \u0026nbsp;Even my name was cool, then: Sapphire. \u0026nbsp;But there was another side of me, something that I never knew until the day I gave in to discovering masturbation. Well, it turned out that I was the child of a werewolf father and a human mother, so that spirit of the wolf was still in me. \u0026nbsp;On that day, that spirit came out. \u0026nbsp;All the hair on my body shot into a shiny two-toned light gray and white, my sense of smell and hearing rose acutely, and everything I thought I knew came crashing down. \u0026nbsp;When I walked to the mirror, I almost passed out seeing how different I looked. \u0026nbsp;And when I walked down the stairs and my mom saw me, she looked at me sternly and told me of my dad.\n\n\u0026nbsp; Well, being head cheerleader and all at North High, my sudden change didn't go unnoticed. \u0026nbsp;I told people who I trusted, but some people weren't as trustworthy. \u0026nbsp;I was already picked on for being kinda short and those who were prejudiced about South Side (generally where the furs lived) had fun calling me all sorts of names like a freak-of nature, hybrid, and all sorts of things about my mom as well. \u0026nbsp; After I got out of that place and went to college in town, people seemed a little more accepting, but I was still stuck between worlds. \u0026nbsp;I was told by my mother that she suspected I had two forms. \u0026nbsp;The human appearence I had now and another that more closely resembled a fur. \u0026nbsp;I kinda searched for that and I got that job at that supermarket in South Side just to see life on the other side of town. iT's not like I ever had a boyfriend or anything previously (yes, I know I should start looking mom was my answer through all of college) and I'm not held back by any bad decisions, because I never made any (yes, that means I'm a virgin). \u0026nbsp;Maybe I'll find a new beginning right on the horizon right here in South Side...  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; So in my yoga get-up, I walked. \u0026nbsp;My hair, long, sleek, and blowing in the wind, almost matched the light gray of my shirt. \u0026nbsp;I finally get to the station where I hear the locks of the subway kick in. \u0026nbsp;I deftly make a run and squeeze behind the last person who moved the turnstile and make the train in the nick of time. \u0026nbsp; \"Well that's a relief\", I let out almost automatically, without regard to look around to see if anyone's around. \u0026nbsp;And just then I hear a few chuckles and a whistle from the other side of the subway... End of Chapter 1 \u0026nbsp;  \n  \n\n"}
