Skai was really enjoying carrying Rain around on her shoulder, it was like they were one.  She already knew she would miss it when he became to big to fit up there but until that time she would enjoy it.<br/><br/>"Well let us see what we can find."  Skai smiled and pet Rain with one hand while she looked in the cupboards.  She went into the pantry looking through the can goods trying to figure out what he might like,  She found a can a tuna and wondered if he would like to try that,<br/><br/>"How about some Tuna, if I mash it up good and put it in some milk that should make it soft enough for you to eat."  Skai commented as she pulled the can off the shelf and went back into the kitchen digging in the drawer for a can opener.<br/><br/>Next thing she knew she heard a crash and it must of scared Rain cause he tried to curl as deep into her hair as he could.  She had to pull him off and take him into her arm petting him trying to calm him down.  "Its ok Rain its just a noise lets go find out.<br/><br/>Walking into the family room she noticed her mother was standing on a ladder trying to get something on the very high shelf and in the process had knocked a big box down on the floor.<br/><br/>"Mother, are you ok?" Skai asked as she went over to where the box was on the floor and attempted to help pick it up.<br/><br/>"No Skai I got that, just leave it."  Her Mother said to her, but it was already too late Skai was already picking up the items from the box.<br/><br/>Skai was noticing the things from the box were photos of a baby and Skai was confused because there were no other children in the house except for her.  When she got to one picture it was of a little girl about the age of 3 with her mother stand in front of what looked like a cauldron.  She flipped the picture over and read what it said.  Skylar Marie and who first potion brewing.<br/><br/>Glancing up at her mother she stood in disbelief.  Skylar was her real first name she had just hated it because it was the name her real parents gave her and she wanted no memories of anything from them.  They abandoned her as a baby or so she thought.  When Shephani and Marc adopted her she requested that they at least change it to Skai<br/><br/>Skai just sat there looking at the pictures and didn't know what to say, it was her mother who first spoke, "Your father and I were wanting to take to you about these things on your birthday.  When you turn 18 you will receive all of your powers and we wanted to make sure you understood everything."  Steph explained<br/><br/>Skai still sat speechless, powers what powers she never had any powers.  She forgot for a moment about Rain who had found his way into her lap.  It was Steph whom had seen him.<br/><br/>"Oh I see you have already found your Neko, I myself have one too.  You come from a long line of powerful witches and our Neko's are meant to love and protect us."  Steph said as she reached down and picked Rain up.  Skai was still having trouble forming her words.  "Once you gain your powers you will be able to speak with him in your mind."<br/><br/>Skai was just staring at her trying to form the words she wanted to say, "All these years you never told me anything, nothing.  You left me in that horrible orphanage where they were mean to me because I was different."  Skai just wanted to yell and scream at her mother, but currently all she could do was cry.  She grabbed Rain back from her mother and went into the kitchen grabbing the bowl of tuna for him and they went back up to her room.<br/><br/>She placed the bowl on the top of the chest at the foot of the bed where the ramp was knowing he could get it,  She set Rain down next to it then crawled into her bed burying her head in a pillow and crying.
