I'm not invisible to you just merely overlooked. I watch you and your friends and wonder what it's like to live life with people there to support you. Me? I'm a loner as cats are. My life will change soon enough.
I walked along the road watching Ethan as he laughed and talked with his friend, Benny. I started following them the day they ran back from the movie theatre, triumphant. The two boys said their goodbyes and headed into their houses. I yawned and ducked into an alleyway where I settled, about to doze off.
I opened my eyes quickly to see Benny and Ethan head off again. I stalked my way towards them and crouched low when Ethan looked over his shoulder. They ended up going to the house with the hyperactive dog, Puffles. I haven't seen him around recently when I think about it. I followed the boys into the backyard but saw something that made me freeze still.
The glimmering gold potion slowly dripped over the grave. Benny squatted down to peer where Puffles lay. " Nothing happened " Ethan stated glancing in my direction where I sat still, frozen, my eyes the same color of the potion, staring at Ethan. " Except maybe you killed a cat" Ethan said looking back at Benny.
My ears pricked up as I looked at the night sky. Something was coming down, fast. Rory landed, startling Benny and Ethan. "Boo-ya" he cheered snickering a little. Benny's voice started rising in anger. "Rory, I don't care how undead you are, you do that again and I'll kill you. I waited to see how Rory would reply. "To kill Vampire Ninja you must first find vampire ninja" he said and took off.
Ethan turned back to Benny, "Potion had no effect."
"Maybe your vision was wrong?"
" My visions are never wrong" Ethan said "but your grandma was right, we shouldn't mess with the forces of life and death."
I purred, That dog always tried to chase me anyway why mess with the past when I can plan my future, of not being killed by an overexcited dog.
My sharp hearing picked up something in the dirt. Faint whimpering sounds muffled by mulch. The boys heard it too. Benny bounced up and down with excitement. "Whoa did you hear that, no way, It's puffles It's alive" he whisper-yelled. The two finally dug up puffles. I ducked into the bushes before Puffles could see me and chase me. The dumb dog would not stop whimpering. Benny didn't seem to mind it at all . "That's the sound of me scoring a date with Della" Benny exclaimed as I stalked back to the alleyway to finally get some rest.
I woke up late in the morning and began stalking breakfast, a chubby squirrel scampering along the grass. I crouched low, swishing my tail, raised my bottom and got attacked by a rabid animal who wanted to kill me. I clawed him off my face hissing and spitting. I crouched again, ready to fight. The demonic chipmunk turned to face me and I saw his big red eyes. I got extremely scared and jumped about a foot in the air before running back to my alleyway. There I saw another cat scratching up an empty cardboard box. I flattened my ears and hissed " my territory got it?". I saw the red eyes again as I tumbled out of the alleyway. Man that cat was strong I thought as I tried to find a safe place.
I found myself in front of Ethan's house as I quickly scanned the yard for a hiding spot. I made do with an empty trash bin. I tried to settle down and sleep on it when an uncalled for bird flew over and tried to peck my eyes out. I spent the rest of the afternoon trying not to get killed by random animals.
That evening I was enjoying a non demonic mouse in a crawl space when I heard something. I poked my head out of my hideout and saw all the red-eyed animals make their way to Ethan's house. I followed, curious of what might happen. All of the red eyed beasts thrust themselves into Ethan's house. There they were turned to dust by streams of potion. I scrambled across the kitchen floor, trying to escape the chaos. Suddenly, I got hit with potion. I leaped into an open drawer and tried to make sense of things. I wasn't dust or dead but I was scared and dashed out a window.
"That cat got away" Ethan yelled turning a hamster into dust.
"Let's worry about the ones that are trying to kill us" Sarah yelled back, shooting a raccoon.
I ran back to the alleyway and hid behind a stray wooden board. I took a moment to collect myself. Though I felt strange, nothing seemed to be wrong with me other than I was shaky. So I settled down, and slept.
