I know. The plot bunnies must die. I won't say anymore on the story. Other than I really need to stop getting more ideas. I can't manage all the stories I have right now, partly because of the ever so cursed Writers' Block.
Katie's P.O.V.
My friend, Caitlin, was blabbering on and on about something. I really wasn't paying much attention. All I knew it was about some musical or another, RENT, maybe it was? I was having more intimate thoughts.
I knew I couldn't keep going on like this. She would find out sooner or later - probably sooner. You see, my family and I, well, none of which was related to me by human blood, we're something that you've never seen before. Not that I sound full of myself or anything, but we are. If you look closely enough, there are things about us way different from normal humans.
A glint in our practically glow-in-the-dark eyes? Not human looking.
The way we're built? Lean, slim. Like a hunter. Not a shoot-with-a-gun hunter, but almost like a cat.
Our balance? Fall on our head, land on our feet. Rarely fall anyway. Not very human.
Do we -my family, who again, isn't related to me by human blood- disappear at least one night a year? Yep. That's the only time we can truly be ourselves.
Do we usually go out every night anyway? Yes. We're not really normal.
There's something different about us. That's why we're so hesitant to hang out around normal humans, that's why we tend to group together when we're in human form. Caitlin was my exception - most of us have one. We call ourselves Jellicles when we're all together, otherwise we call ourselves by our Everyday Names. When we're by someone normal. My Everyday Name, for instance, is Katie. Katie Dietrich.
You see, as I said, we're nothing you've ever seen before. The Jellicles, really, are a tribe of cats. Us. We are the Jellicles. We turn into cats freely. But we're never exactly human, all the things I mentioned before might get us caught. I'm terrified the humans will find out… but then what will happen?
Good? Bad? Confusing (Well, I tried to make it a bit confusing)? A little short, I know. I can't make the intro to a story long. I don't really know why, but I can't.
