It had been three weeks since I was created, and after sitting still for most of the time, I got bored. I decided to go check out what Redo was doing, so I barged into his lab. He was working on some important creation, and I really wanted to help.

"Hey Daddy!" I smiled as I inched towards his work area. He was sewing an elephant's trunk onto a shark's face.

"You!" His emotions were a mix of anger, annoyance and surprise, "Get out, I'm busy! And don't call me 'Daddy'!"

"I wish to help, Daddy."

"Then sit there, in that corner, and be silent! And stop calling me that!"

"But please, Daddy, I must be helpful in some way..."

"I am not your father!" That was the second time I got hit that month. I fell onto the cold, hard floor. I still couldn't feel any pain. No, none at all.

Redo was huffing and trying to cool down. I tried to stand up, but I kept collapsing.

"Master... I'm sorry for annoying you..."

"Just..." Redo answered glumly, "Don't get in my way..."

I nodded, trying to stand up, only to fall back down. After a while, Redo left me alone and went back to his work. I'm not too sure how much time passed.. one or two hours, I think. I almost fell asleep, but a command was given to me at the last second.

"Mistake, fetch me a rhino..."

I could now get up easily. I jumped up and ran to the supply room. I wasn't sure why Redo wanted a full rhino, but I did want to help, so I obeyed. The rhino was really heavy, so I had to drag it to the lab. As I dragged it in, I knocked a few things off the shelves.

"I..." Redo mumbled, "I meant a leg, a back leg... Okay, sorry, my fault."

I was so embarrassed. "No no, I'm the one who misheard, it's my fault..."

He didn't say anything else. He proceeded to get a saw and cut the rhino's leg off. I didn't want to annoy him any further, so I went back to the main room.

There was an item there that I hadn't noticed before. It was both shiny and dull at the same time. It interested me. I walked over to it and looked at it. I saw a face! Was someone trapped inside of it? They didn't seem worried at first, but surprised to see me. And then, when I started to panic, they panicked too.

The prisoner seemed to be a raccoon with goat horns on her head, cheetah's legs, owl wings and tail.

For the sake of the prisoner inside the object, I calmed down. They calmed down, too. And that's when we both freaked out.

The screams started again, but after that, there was a laugh. Like the one Redo had let out, but a 100 times more insane. I decided to check out what it was.

And I wish I hadn't. Because this one little event would ruin everything. I guess you could say curiosity killed the cat. Or in this case, the wolf...
Just kind of a chapter to set things up! Also foreshadowing, possibly?

Wow. I'm not into sci-fi but I totally dig this. What an interesting creature for the main character to be made from. It kind of reminds me of a griffon. except this one has 3 different animal parts. Redo seems abusive *shiver*
