Things are not always what they seem
Chapter 1
I've been watching them for weeks now. (By them I mean him, the one with the white hair and searing green eyes.) Why can't I just do it already? I thought to myself as I stalked the edge of the forest to the Budapest fortress. I let out a sigh, which sounded more like a hiss since I'm in my feline form. Turning my back on the fortress I started to make my way back toward the town, but before I make it very far I was picked up by the one that I used to see flying around town. I guess he lost his wings. I muse to myself. "Where'd you come from little kitty? Legion would love to have a pet so long as she doesn't eat you." he says. Oh shit! Either I just got my way in or this is going to end up really, really bad for me, wait what the hell is a Legion? That's not a name. I think as the dark haired one cuddles me so I can't get away. Inside the fortress he calls for Legion, before whatever this Legion is comes to him,with a hard swallow to give myself just a bit of courage, I scratch his arm. He drops me and I take off running up the stairs.I'll be damned before I'm a pet...or a meal. I think as I run into an empty room filled with monitors and computer stuff, a bed at the far end and a door that looks as if it leads to a bathroom. Hmm...interesting, seems like they're pretty tight with security. Hiding under the desk to the right watching quietly for the no longer winged one or Legion, taking in my surroundings.
Suddenly the door closes with a loud click. Oh no, please, please tell me that... my thought dies as I see the white haired, green eyed gorgeous god sit at the other desk completely oblivious to my presence. Slowly I pad my way over to the side of his chair just watching him for a moment before sitting on my hunches and mewing softly to get his attention. He-he look at him maybe he'll want to keep me and not feed me to a Legion. He looks down a me a slight startled expression across his face. "So this is where you ran off too. Huh kitty? I suppose I should give you to Legion since Aeron found you for her." he says. Is he out of his freaking mind? There is no way I'm going to this Legion- I still have no idea what a Legion is. Growling at his comment I jump into his lap, staring into his eyes intensely with my violet cat eyes, trying to making my point I'd rather to stay with him. Apparently he didn't get it cause he threw me off his lap. With a little yelp I land across the room. It's a good thing cats always land on their feet. I think sarcastically. "I'm sorry kitty" he says as he crouches down in front of me "but I can't touch anything without killing it." I tilt my head to the side trying to understand what he means by that. Before he can say anything else a knock sounds at his door. He straightens himself from his crouch, turning towards the monitor. The one he called Aeron is standing outside what I assume was this room. "Torin, have you seen the black cat running around through your monitors?" Aeron asks through the door that Torin- his name is Torin how wonderful to finally know his name- has cracked just a bit so they could speak but so I couldn't get out. "Yea Aeron I found the cat but there's been a small accident." Torin replies. Accident what accident? "Torin please tell me you didn't touch the cat. Legion was looking forward to keeping a pet." Aeron sighed softly. Torin shook his head, looking back over to where I was opening the door wider so Aeron could come in before he closed the door again. "I didn't touch the cat, the cat touched me. Jumped right into my lap it did. It's going to have to stay with me in case I contaminated it." Torin said to Aeron as he sat back into his chair. Feeling as though I did something very wrong I slunk under the bed on the far side of the room, trying my hardest to listen to the two males talk about me as if I wasn't even there and also try to figure out what I've done wrong. Aeron sat at the other desk facing Torin, looking a cross between annoyed and amused. "Well I guess it's for the best legion would have probably eaten it. But at least you have a new friend for a while." "Yea thanks Aeron, like I need to be reminded everything I touch dies." He says to his friend. I still don't know what he means by that. Am I going to die just because I jumped into his lap? Peeking my head out from under the bed to listen to the conversation more intently. Oh god please tell me I'm not really going to die! I just wanted to be near Torin since the night I saw him in the graveyard with the other guy that kept falling down and got hit in the face with a tree branch. "...away from my room for the time being, we'll give it a week if it's still alive. Damn my demon, why did I have to be cursed with Disease?" My eyes widened in realization, so the rumors are true... Ha well lucky for me I'm immune to any illness and disease, they burn up in my body so even then nothing can be passed along to another- that's a blessing from being a walker of 2 beasts- oh no but he doesn't know that. He must really feel bad. Tuning back into their conversation I missed what Aeron had said back but I did hear that he was going to bring me up some food and milk.
After Aeron had brought up and I ate the tuna- yuck- and the milk I made myself at home on Torin's bed. He came over laying at the end looking depressed, like someone just killed his favorite pet.- oh wait I'm the pet that's supposed to be dying. Maybe I should change back and explain. But before I could he spoke softly, his beautiful green eyes looking at me sadly " I wish you could understand little kitty, I've killed you. You won't last a week and then you'll be gone and I'm the one who killed you." I padded over to him, curling up next to him purring softly to convey that it was alright. He stroked my fur with his gloved hand until he fell asleep. I thought to myself, Well he's sleeping now so no reason for me to change and explain. I'll just have to wait until he wakes in the morning first thing. Closing my eyes I let myself fade into oblivion curled contently into Torin's side.
