Mira's Ornament: The Chronicles of Animal Jam

Prologue Part 1
This morning, I logged onto animal jam, like any other normal day. I looked at the new updates, only to find that there were none this week. Oh well. I went to my den, and began to decorate it with all the betas I had.

Scarecrow, Cami's Frog, Epic plushies, a fountain, bongo drums... The list went on as I placed everything I had into the small house. I grinned. I teleported to Jamaa township next, greeted by a bunch of dancing arctic wolves, foxes, and whatnots that had rares pasted all over their fur. I looked at them in disgust before unlocking my den and checking if my buddies were currently there. They weren't. I immediately switched animals into a bunny. Then I put on a black spike and said, "Come it my den if you want my outfit!" The doorbell rings beeped out like a siren, filling my ears. Once the number of jammers present inside got to 40, I went in to see who had come. As soon as I entered the den, I was greeted by an enormous number of talking jammers. I found an opening in the sea of fur, and ran into it. I played. "Truth me!" I said, knowing that saying 'trust trade me' would mean getting banned. The first jammer to cough up a few rare items was Awesomeness101, an arctic wolf covered with rares that had been talking to a jammer whose clothes had been based on Aparri. He traded a worn and a nm sword. I declined. Then I got a trade request from Dragonbreath7026. This guy was a crocodile covered with dragon themed cloths. He had a golden dragon mask, golden wings, and diamond-encrusted armor covering the rest of his body. He was trading a glitched ring. I declined, hesitating a little. Many others traded, until finally a regular looking nm bunny traded me brown glossy cupid wings, a beta blanket, a light pink headress, a beta hood, a glitched ring, and a long black spike for the necklace I had on trade. I hesitated a little before accepting. The items transferred to my account instantly. I laughed out loud before locking my den. The crowd disappeared as the jammers were kicked out of my den. I put on the items triumphantly. Then, a bunch of spamming letters appeared in my mail. I opened it up, finding 57 letters reading, "you'll regret that." They were all sent by the nm bunny. I stopped. How did those letters arrive so quickly? Then, the letters stopped at 60. I opened up the final one. It held a gift. I opened the gift, finding a mira ornament. Weird, I thought. Why would they gift me after I stole from them? I opened up my den inventory. The mira ornament was there. There was nothing special or off about it. Then, I heard my mom calling. "What time is it?" "3:29!" I answered, and she replied. "Come up and eat your apples! They're fresh."

Prologue Part 2
After I finished the apples, I went back on AJ to see what had happened while I was gone. Three of my buddies were on, and I still had my ornament and clothes. I had begun to think that this affair may steer in the way of the creepypastas I read on the internet, but everything seemed normal. Pfffft, I thought. ''Why would I even believe in those silly pastas! They were made for entertainment, and they're not even real.'' I laughed, kind of feeling foolish. Instead of AJ, I went to program of scratch for a bit. A bit turned out to be 4 hours, because I was still doing 'Epic Ninja' at 7:34. I finally decided to shut down and go to bed. That was when the real story started.

Chapter 1
While I was sleeping I began having vivid dreams, and my mind kept replaying one where I grabbed a rare from a bunny, then he turned around and said, "You'll regret that," as I was running away. Then I would steer into a dark alley and a bunch of identical white bunnies were there. Then they all lunged at me as one, and before everything went dark I would hear the echoing words, "You regretted it." I would wake up all sweaty. after the 7th time this happened, I woke up. I was about to try to fall asleep again when I noticed light coming from the living room. Weird, I thought. Mom never leaves the lights on after 9:00... I went into the room and saw that my computer was glowing white. Ugh, I thought. Maybe mom turned it on to check the time or something, and left it that way. I went to turn it off, but then noticed that the mira ornament was in the middle of the screen. I gasped. Maybe this was going to turn out like those creepypastas. Then, something unbelievable happened. The ornament fell out of the screen onto the ground, making a little 'Clink!' as it hit. I reluctantly went to pick it up, trembling as I held it. It was how I had always seen it, small and metallic and a little rusty. I turned it from side to side. Then, it began to glow. It's eyes... I could have sworn that they blinked. Then, slowly but surely, it turned it's head and looked at me. It did blink this time. It's beak opened and closed and a line of silky, soft, hollow words came out. "You'll regret that." I dropped the ornament and shrieked, but no sound came out. I grabbed my mouth. I heard a popping sound above my head. Looking up, I saw a speech bubble. It said "EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" I opened my mouth and stared. My eyes widened. I was terrified. The mira ornament grew and grew, until it was the size of a large baby elephant. I backed up against the wall on all fours. The ornament was real now. It opened it's mouth and the inside began to glow. It's eyes shone like stars as it opened up it's beak in an angry screech. It's neck feathers shot out like that of a frilled lizard. I screamed but the speech bubbles wouldn't go away. I was helpless and cornered. No one could hear or see me. As a glowing ray of blue light shot out from the ornament's mouth, I put my hands in front of my face in a futile attempt to block it, and then everything went white.

Chapter 2
I got up from the wet ground. I couldn't remember anything. ''Who am I? Why am I here? What just happened? ''I slowly opened my eyes, but then I remembered. I groaned and lay back down again. I ached all over. The ground didn't feel like wood. I patted it, and to my horror, I felt hay. What did Mira do? I got up again and looked around. I was in a barn, and there was a white bunny with black female eyes and pink hearts on her fur. A pink heart antenna headband was perched on her fuzzy head, and she was wearing pink glossy cupid wings. My eyes widened. ''How could a mate beggar get those? ''She looked like a mate beggar, but I wasn't sure that she was, now that I had seen her wearing glossy cupid wings. She turned around. "Oh! Noah, she's awake!" I jumped up. This was not normal in any way. What had happened? I screamed. "WHAT'S HAPPENING!" "Calm down," said a white arctic wolf with a blue snowboarding helmet, a red jamaaliday scarf, blue snowshoes, and dazzling black male eyes. I shrieked again and crawled back, cowering against the wall. "WHO ARE YOU!!" I screeched, not able to control myself. "Oh! I'm Emma, and this is Noah!" Emma jumped up and down as she spoke, pointing to the arctic wolf. "You must be the new kid!" Who the hay hay is the new kid, I thought, putting my ears back. Wait, putting my ears back!!?? I reached up and felt my face. It was furry. I reached up to feel my ears. Instead I found long ones at the top of my head. One was nicked. I looked down at my hands, which weren't hands anymore. They were paws. I let out a whimper, which slowly turned into a scream. I stumbled back in disbelief, striking the wall. Noah rushed forward and grabbed me before putting me back on the hay. "Yes. It may seem crazy, but you've been transported into animal jam as your current animal. You cannot switch animals. You still have your clothes though, so don't worry about losing your rares." How the heck did this guy know that I was rare? "Are you a stalker?" I asked, looking into Noah's face. He stared back without blinking. I suddenly realized that I wasn't blinking either. I tried to, but found that I couldn't. Noah must have noticed, because he spoke again. "We aren't stalkers. We have just had the same fate as you. Haunted by who is known as the SFB." "SFB?" I asked. What the heck did that stand for? "Scam free bunny," said Emma. "No one knows how he does it, but he will punish every jammer who scams him, and he has an endless number of rare, beta, and even unreleased items. Some people believe him to be the most skillful and powerful hacker in the whole of animal jam, but he uses his powers for good. Unlike some." She sighed. "Like us. Some were hackers. Some were bullies. Some were just scammers. But he found us all, and now here we are." I shuddered, thinking of the letter he had sent me. "You'll regret that." "How does he transport you into the game?" "Like I said, no one knows. He's a really powerful hacker, so that may allow him to do that. Or maybe..." "Emma. No one knows, and you don't have to try to figure it out." Noah put a paw on Emma's little shoulder. Emma shoved it off. "Hey! You should meet the rest of the gang!" She leaped across the hay out the door. Noah rolled his eyes and slowly followed. I ran after them. Outside was a sunflower colored fox with a light sunflower underbelly. He had big back eyes, and he was wearing a green and prune colored jester hat, a green studded collar, a sun balloon, green elf shoes, and mystical tail armor. When he saw me, he jumped into a fighting pose. He snarled and twisted his face so that he looked hideous. He showed his teeth. "WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU HERE? WHAT'S THE PASSWORD?!" "Calm down Liam," said Emma. "She's a newcomer."

Chapter 3
"Y'know, you didn't really explain where we are in AJ. Like at someone's den? Or... a new world? Yeah." Liam was walking next to me now, answering my questions and chattering with his little mouth that could produce surprisingly big sentences. "Well, we're actually in the adventures." "What?!" The adventures? Did it have to be the adventures? Liam's ears went back a little with guilt. He knew how I felt. "That's the thing. We call the adventures trials, and we still haven't gotten through the first one yet." "The first one?" "Return of the phantoms." My eyes widened. "But that one is easy as heck!" "It isn't if you're playing in super hard mode. SFB made it as a feature to AJ, but also made it unavailable to normal jammers." "Why do that?" "Because it was intended for us and us only. He's a dirty guy, SFB. So guess what? We're still in it, as of currently." I gasped. "How far along?" "Dude, we can't get very far if the NPCs want to kill us!" "They do?!" "Yep. Clover won't give over the key to the phantom door. When I tried to take it, she slapped me. I still have the bruise." Liam tilted his head so that I could see a dark grey mark. I winced. "And guess what else?" Liam just looked straight forward angry right now. "What?" "THAT DARN PUMPKIN KEEPS DROPPING HER (bleep)ING CORK ON US, AND ON PURPOSE!" My jaw hung open. This wasn't possible. I had never experienced trials where the creator was against you, and could completely destroy you from existence whenever they wanted. Wait a minute... "Wait, why doesn't SFB jus erase us all from the game?" "If he did that, it would be murder. He could get arrested. And then, scammers could keep on scamming without him getting in the way. That's the opposite of what he wants. It's like killing a bear only to have three more come out of nowhere." "That's true. How long have you been here?" Liam looked at me wth some faraway memory flashing in his eyes. "A long, long time. For as long as I can remember." For as long as he could remember. That was a long, long time. "You think I may make a difference?" "No offense, but I doubt it."

Chapter 4
I sneaked past the group, as they were plotting things that Liam had described as 'none of my business.' I tried not to be seen as I squeezed through the vines that would lift if you spoke to Liza. Liza was not present, and she probably never would be. I ran across the grass to the wooden fence that marked Bunny Burrow. I peeked out at the villagers from behind the fence. They looked wary and energized. If I tried to run for the exit, Pumpkin would catch me in a matter of seconds. I looked around before spotting a bow and some sharp sticks. A discarded weapon, I thought. If I could grab it... I glanced back at the bunnies. I found a pebble and threw it into the phantom water. The bunnies turned and looked at it, watching it menacingly until it was swept out of their vision. In that short amount of time, I was able to dart out and grab the bow. I was watching Harvey the entire time. I ran back to the "fort" and bumped right into Liam. He grunted and we fell over, rolling over the grass. We finally stopped, and he looked up from under me. "What the- where were you? We were worried sick!" "I was... getting... this." I held up the bow and sticks. Liam looked at it in amazement and joy. Then he grabbed it from me and hugged it. "My old bow! Thank you... wait, what's your name?" The others stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Noah tilted his head in a kind of gesture. Emma looked at me and smiled a little. I looked at them one at a time before saying softly, "Call me Bambi."

Chapter 5
The next morning, the entire group gathered. The rest of the group consisted of Olivia, a nice very light sunflower colored bunny with black regular eyes, light sunflower patches, rare glitched nerd glasses and a green backpack, and then Mason, a white otter with playful black eyes, a green aviator hat, a blue ribbon scarf, and a pink studded bracelet that she had implanted with a tiny clock, making it a watch. He was rather a tom-girl. There was also Sophia, a mud-green hyena with a light green mane, regular black eyes, really light dandelion spots, a blue and brown police hat, a blue parka, and blue elf bracelets. She was rather a tom-boy. Now that you know everyone else, lets get along with the story. We assembled in the barn, the only place where no NPCs or phantoms could follow us into. It was the only time I had ever seen Liam actually look serious. I looked at everyone. Emma seemed happy, Noah seemed very interested in a nearby butterfly, Liam (as you know) seemed serious, Olivia seemed terrified, Mason looked ready for takeoff, and Sophia looked mesmerized in her new pet worm, "Squishy." I myself was rather shaky, but otherwise as ready as Liam and Mason combined were. I straightened up and tried to look brave, but ended getting tripped by Mason (my founders hat had bumped into her rather forcefully) and falling in a puddle of mud. Liam pretended not to notice. The rest of the group didn't seem to notice anyway, but Mason looked at me and turned away before covering his mouth and letting out muffled giggles. "Ok everybody!" Liam puffed out his chest but no one seemed to be listening, except for me. "Today, those phantoms don't stand a chance. Neither do the NPCs! So today, we are going to come at them. AS ONE!" I guess people had been listening, because the next moment everyone stopped what they were doing and barked, "AS ONE!" I looked at how determined Liam was, and found myself smiling. The plan was that we went into pairs to do different things. Emma and I (she had yelled "ANNIE!!" and hit me with the force of a jet, hugging the breath out of me) would go and fight the NPCs in order to get their materials. Noah and Liam would kill the phantoms, and Olivia, Mason, and Sophia would gather the corks and water the plants. Emma and I would get the final key. The plan turned out to work out perfectly. Here's what happened:

Chapter 6
I crept out first, and hid behind Harvey's wheelbarrow. I looked out and ducked when a black figure lunged out and skidded on the dirt next to me. His green tuxedo had claw marks in it, the result of earlier battles. I ran out from behind the wheelbarrow and purposely smacked into the door to bunny burrow multiple times. Binky saw me and lunged, only to have Emma tackle her to the ground. She was knocked out cold in a few moments. I slammed into the door a final time, and it burst open. I rushed in as Emma picked up the broken bits of wood. I pulled her in and got out the tape from my rare nerd glasses. I pasted it all over the door as the other bunnies tried to barge in and stop us. Emma added the bits of wood to the door blockage, and bam. The other bunnies had no hope of getting in. I turned and saw George standing in front of us, blocking our way. "Today, you're no hero," he said. He grabbed me and we wrestled each other to the ground. "GO! GET THE KEY!" I screeched to Emma. She ran down the tunnels, and I soon heard scuffling downstairs as well. I kicked George, he kicked back. I bit his shoulder, he bit my ear. Then there was a whapping sound, and 2 seconds later George was running around with Emma riding him like a horse, hitting him with the key like it was a flyswatter. He crashed into the wall and fell on the ground, unconscious. We broke open the door again and were quick to step to the side as an angry mob of bunnies came tumbling in. When they had all fallen down the tunnels, dazed, we ran out to find Olivia, Mason, and Sophia with all 14 corks. Mason had a phantom leg in his mouth. I nodded and they ran off to plug the pipes. We unlocked the phantom door as they gathered the watering cans. We all charged out with cans and took turns pouring water on the phantoms. They melted under us, screeching with agony. We gathered the keys. Instead of bunnies in cages, there were rare items. I quickly unlocked the cages, and the rares floated out and drifted to random people. I got a long purple spike. Liza didn't appear, but the portal lit up and we were presented with treasure chests. I eagerly clicked one, only to realize that all the chests contained troll faces. I stared at the face in disgust. It had no label. As there was no decline button, I had to accept it and recycle a rare item. I scowled. The troll face just smiled back. As we entered the portal, I thought about what may happen in the next trial.

Chapter 7
I looked around. We were at the beginning of the phantom portal. Noah had accidentally put on his troll face white trying to click a green jamaaliday scarf, and I noticed that it was the first 2d item in the game. He quickly took it off. We walked around for a while, because Liza was nowhere to guide us, until finally Mason fell off a tree onto the passage. As soon as we crossed it, we were greeted by so many phantoms that you couldn't see the ground. I immediately grabbed the others and pulled them behind a tree trunk. "''NOBODY MAKE A SOUND!" ''I whispered urgently. The moment I finished, Mason sneezed loudly. Noah grabbed his snout and squeezed. Mason whimpered, but the damage was done. The phantoms began to float towards us. I stared fearfully at the approaching black masses, readying myself for the great pain that was about to come. I closed my eyes, but the electricity never came. When I opened them, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Sophia was attacking the phantoms single handed, and they were falling fast under her mighty swipes. "RUN!" she screeched, swinging her paw over a cowering phantom with a missing tentacle. "OK!" said Mason hurriedly, quickly running away. Sophia suddenly looked doubtful. "Lil' coward..." she muttered. "I"m not leaving!" said Noah, lunging forward and hitting a phantom that was about to zap Sophia. He grabbed it in his mouth and instantly turned it into a chew toy. Emma screeched loudly and contacted a phantoms face. She hung there like a leech, making the phantom flail around blindly. It's swinging tentacles hit it's allies, knocking them away. Olivia grabbed a boomerang out of her backpack. She threw it, knocking out at least 20 phantoms. It swiveled back to her and she caught it neatly. I leaped in front of a tough looking phantom with spikes growing out of it's middle tentacle. It squawked and lunged. I dived under it and raked it's underbelly (well, what was left of it) with my claws. It screeched in agony. I dodged a bolt of lightning that it had thrown at me. I grabbed it while it was shooting lightning and threw it into the mass. It's companions ran away from it in terror, occasionally getting zapped. We took care of 4/5 of the phantoms before making a run for the bridge. Mason had his leg stuck in-between the boards. Noah grabbed his scruff and pulled him out as we hit the phantom door at full force. It smashed open, the bits of purple metal falling to the ground. Emma tripped on one and fell, but got up and ran as though it had never happened. Mason didn't seem to be capable of moving as we sped along the grass straight into a phantom web. Olivia screamed in terror as the goop from the web grabbed her legs. Sophia and Noah grabbed and pulled, but the web was as hardy as a bull. It grabbed Noah when his leg gave way and slipped forward. He growled and tried to bite it off, but he couldn't reach. He twisted frantically. I jumped forward and tried to free them, but ended up getting stuck fast. I couldn't resist the urge to struggle. Liam began to tear bits of goop off of us, but the goop went for him instead, pulling him in as well. Sophia shrieked. Mason did as well. Sophia grabbed her golden police badge and whipped it through the goopy mess, slicing it apart. However, it was not destroyed so easily. It reached out and grabbed Sophia, pulling her in. Mason stood, frozen, making an idiotic face. Phantoms appeared a few yards away. Mason screamed. They turned and looked at him. He dodged lightning bolts, but then looked like he had an idea. He grabbed Sophia's meal badge. "Can I borrow that?" he said, snatching it without waiting for an answer. He ran to the phantoms with it. One shot two bolts of electricity at him. He dodged the first and blocked the second one with the badge. It ran off course, instead hitting the net and tearing it apart. The group fell to the ground in a tangled, terrified heap. I got up and ran for the hills, Sophia and Liam close behind. Olivia stayed at the rear, throwing pages of unfinished calculations at any phantoms that came to close. Their one eye would be covered instantly, and they would float around blindly as other phantoms trampled them.

Chapter 8
Everything seemed to be going fine, for the rest of the adventure. We started Meet Cosmo and everything went well until we got to the part with Issac, the koala that needed wood and rope. We approached him, but he approached first. He grabbed Mason by his front paw, flinging him onto his back. He rolled off the cliff and-at the last moment-was able to grab the edge with one paw, staring up fearfully. Issac looked at us. Noah jumped at him, snarling, but he took off his football hemet and it grew giant. He threw it at us and we were trapped inside. Noah hit the side of it, falling back and whimpering. Issac stepped over to where Mason was hanging on for dear life. He lifted his foot. ''He's going to stomp on Mason's paw! ''I thought. It began to knaw on the bars as hard as I could. "Bite the bars!" I yelled. Everyone began to savage the bar with their teeth. Within seconds it was broken. I squeezed myself out right as Issac began to put down his foot. I jumped at him, yelling in fury, and hit him with full force. He was knocked off the cliff, screaming. His little limbs flailed and for a second I pityed him. Then I remembered what he had tried to do to Mason and watched coldly as he disappeared into void. Mason watched as well, and I guess he was distracted for a moment because the next thing I knew, he was plummeting fast. "HELP!" he screeched. I tried desperately to grab his paw as it fell down with him, but my attempt was futile. He looked at me with wide, terrified eyes before disappearing. I wailed, but then an arrow shot down after him. A rope was tied to it. I heard a ping, then I heard Mason yelling, "Thanks!" What the, I thought, following the ropes direction. There, perched on a cliff, was a dark green goat with gray stripes. It was wearing a red scarf, a red head flower, and a red and black bow and arrows. It was holding the rope, looking down the cliff with an amused expression. It pulled Mason up onto the cliff, and shot another arrow with a rope onto the cliff we were standing on. She leaped across the rope as gracefully as a swan. Mason skittered across nervously. When he got to the end, he looked at the goat. "You saved my life!" he exclaimed. "What's your name?" "You can call me Snowpaw."
