Felicaina shivered as she ran through the stormy night, her cat ears and tail getting soaked. She had heard someone call out for her, but she had gotten so scared that she imeadatly ran away.

Years ago, Felicaina was taken from her home to have experiments done on her. She was poked with needless cut open and sewn close, given cuts and scars, then had cat features attached to her body. It was apparently all in the name of 'science', but Felicaina thought otherwise. She missed her sister and grandfather, that little girl with the blonde hair and ocean blue eyes she would spend her days with...but they were far gone now, weren't they?

Another sharp yell brought Felicaina out of her thoughts and back to reality. She had taken refuge under a small balcony, barely keeping her dry from the storm. She pulled her small body into a quivering ball, hoping she could go unnoticed.

"Hey!" A German accent called out. A body followed the voice-It was a tall, blonde woman. It looked like she had been training but had gotten disrupted by the storm. Apparently, she spotted Felicaina, because she knelt her by her side and put a hand on the Italian's shoulder. "Hey, are you okay...?"

Felicaina lied her ears flat, tucking her tail out of view. "Veh...I-I'm fine..." she mumbled, shaking harder as she felt the hand on her shoulder.

"Its okay, I wont hurt you...My names Monika;whats yours?" Monika asked softly. Felicaina looked up with big, watery eyes. Monika's eyes widened as she saw the little cat ears that lay upon the Italian's head. Felicaina instantly looked away.

"Don't look at me like that!" She demanded, small tears slipping down her cheeks. "I know I'm a freak, b-but I..." she never finished her sentence, nearly struggled to contain her sobs.

Monika felt a pang of guilt hit her, realizing she had made the girl cry. "No, no, no, no...I-its fine, really. There, um, cute...d-don't cry please...you-you never told me your name..." she said softly, not wanting to startle the hybrid.

"F-Felicaina..." Feli whispered.

Felicaina wore clothes, but very little. A White shirt that was torn and dirtied, and small pants that hardly covered anything. A single, black glove on her left hand and a hand-made white flag in her right. Her large, tear filled, amber eyes shone the best through the dark. They had a dark look of fear and sadness, but deep down held forgotten happiness. She obviously had no home, which made Monika worry. How could such a frail girl survive on her own?

Monika stood, holding out a hand for Felicaina. "Well...you obviously have no home, so I will give you one. You can't stay out here for the rest of your life. You don't have a choice. Come on, them."

Felicaina's lip quivered, eyes welling with tears again. Monika felt another pang of guilt slap her across the face.

Pull it together Monika... She thought This is a girl, not military unit!

Monika knelt down again, expression softening. "I'm sorry, Felicaina...But, really...you can't stay out here forever and I really would like to give you a home. Would you please come and stay with me? At least for a little while?" She held out her hand.

Felicaina looked at the hand, then at Monika's face. She grabbed the hand, her own tiny in comparison, and smiled faintly. "...O-Okay..."

XxXxXxXxXx

Monika shut the front door to her house looking over at Felicaina, who had taken interest in a photo on the wall. The photograph showed a small girl, blonde hair and blue eyes like Monika...But the girl looked so familiar...

"Felicaina? You okay?" Monika questioned with concern. Felicaina looked over and laughed nervously. "Huh? Oh, its nothing! I'm just a bit tiered~"

"Um, okay. You might want to bathe first, though. You might feel a bit better." she advised

Felicaina, wide-eyed, stared at Monika. "Bathe...I...can't remember how..."

Mein gott...Monika thought ...just how long was she without a home?
