Hey guys! So I read a fanfic where Magnus is a kitten and Alec is his owner and he makes a wish on the full moon and when he wakes up he's human. The writer never continued it and I didn't want to steal anyone's story or anything but I couldn't help but wonder what happened next and thinking it would be fun to write, so I eventually threw my morals out the window and wrote this anyway! I'm not really sure where i'm going with this. It could be a one shot or it could be a chapter story, i'm just going to wing it! The characters will probably be super OOC, but this is fanfiction! I'm not Cassie, therefore, I cant write them like how they are in the book! Comments and constructive criticism are much appreciated as are ideas or anything you want to see on here! I hope you like it! Please review and tell me what you think!
Alec sighed tiredly as he walked down the sidewalk. He'd had and awful day. His publisher was expecting him to write something soon but he had an awful case of writers block and absolutely no inspiration. He didn't know what to do, it wasn't as if he could just sit down and force himself to write! Not that he hadn't attempted it, but every time he tried what he wrote was awful and he erased it or he ended up giving up and not writing anything at all. His publisher, however, didn't seem to think writers block was a good enough excuse. Hence his awful mood, and the people on the sidewalk who kept rudely bumping into him, did nothing to improve it.
Alec paused in his steps when he heard a noise coming from the alley beside him. Alec strained his ears, trying to block out the loud bustling of New York. It sounded like a faint meowing. A crease of puzzlement between his brow, Alec slowly turned and walked into the dark alley. This was absolutely stupid, Alec thought to himself. He was acting like one of those stupid people from the horror movies who went down dark alleyways to investigate a strange noise they heard and ended up getting brutally murdered. Alec shivered and wrapped his arms around himself. Alright, maybe he had been watching too many horror movies lately.
He continued to slowly walk past graffitied brick walls and broken beer bottles and random litter. Following the sound that kept getting louder he wrinkled his nose up in disgust when he came to a dumpster that was open and overflowing with trash. It had tons of flies buzzing around it and it smelled worse than Isabelle's meat surprise, and that was saying a lot. Holding the sleeve of his sweater over his nose and mouth and trying not to breathe, he was tempted to turn back around and forget about the strange noise. The sound sounded like it was coming from right next to the dumsper, though, so he sucked in a breath through his sleeve, tried not to gag, and moved closer to the dumpster.
He moved to the side of it, wanting to investigate where it seemed the noise was coming from and get out as fast as he could. This is when a demon jumps out at me and I realize the dumpster smells so bad because there are dead bodies in it, Alec thought. From the disgusting odor coming from it, he wouldn't be surprised. His eyes widened when he saw a small kitten huddling in a soggy cardboard box, still wet from the rain that had just recently stopped. The kittens fur was soaked, so dirty it's black fur almost appeared brown, and slightly matted. It was furiously shaking and it seemed much skinnier than it should be. Disgusting smell forgotten, Alec quickly fell down to his knees on the dirty ground in front of the box.
"You poor thing. You must be starving!" Alec said softly. The shaking kitten looked up at him was sad green eyes and meowed pitifully. Alec thought his heart might break. "Awwwww, come here." He held out his arms and slowly picked the wet kitten up, holding it in his arms and trying to warm it up as much as he could. The cat didn't struggle and curled into the warmth of his sweater gratefully. "C'mon, i'm going to take you home and clean you up, alright?" Alec murmured to the kitten as he turned and walked toward the street, holding the animal gently.
No one paid him or the kitten any attention as Alec walked home. They had seen far weirder things than a guy holding an abandoned kitten. He breathed a sigh of relief when he climbed the stairs to his flat. The kitten was still shaking, and Alec was eager to get him cleaned up and warm. He finally reached his door and after pulling the keys out of his pocket with one hand, the other still holding the cat, he unlocked the door and stepped into the warmth inside.
The kitten poked his head out from the burrow he had made in Alec's sweater and looked around the flat with curious green eyes. "I hope you like it because this is going to be your new home from now on." Alec told the animal. The kitten meowed. Alec gave a small smile and walked to the kitchen sink. "Alright, I have absolutely no idea what to do with you. I don't have any kitten food, a litter box, or shampoo or anything so I guess i'm just going to wash you off and then run to the pet store." Alec put the plug in the sink and turned the water on, then he got a towel out of the closet in the hallway, still holding the kitten.
When he came back and turned the water off the kitten wailed when he saw the water. "Hey, hey, what's wrong!?" The kitten wiggled out of his arms and bolted to the living room. Alec cursed and ran after him. He looked around but didn't see the cat. "Here kitty kitty, heere kitty kitty!" Alec called gently, crouching to the floor and patting the floor in front of him in hope to lure the cat out of it's hiding place. The kitten's head poked out from under the black couch and it pounced on Alec's hands. Alec chuckled and picked him back up again. "Okay, i'm going to try this again and hope you don't run off like last time."
He took the cat over to the sink and the reaction was immediate. The kitten immediately started wailing and trying to get out of Alec's arm's. Alec furrowed his brow. He knew cat's didn't like water but this was ridiculous. How was he supposed to wash the kitten off? "Okay, Okay!" Alec said gently, as he pulled the plug out of the sink and let the water drain out, trying to calm the animal down. "I won't make you go in the water. Look, it's all gone, see?" The kitten slowly relaxed and meowed up at him. "Did something bad happen to you with water? Maybe all kittens are just scared of water." Alec mused aloud. His only response was another meow as the cat burrowed his head into his sweater again.
"I guess I'll just have to wash you off with a wet washcloth." He returned to the closet in the hallway and got a hand towel this time. Stepping into the bathroom he turned the faucet on and the cat immediately looked wary. "Don't worry, i'm not going to make you take a bath." As he got the towel wet he rolled his eyes to himself. "Why am I talking to a cat? It's not like you can understand me." The cat meowed at him. Alec set him down on the counter when the towel was wet enough and held it out to the animal for him to sniff. "See? I'm just going to wash you off."
He slowly started to rub the washcloth against the kittens fur, hoping it wouldn't freak out again. The cat didn't do anything other than look up at him curiously so Alec continued to wash him off. There was so much dirt in the kittens fur Alec had to stop and wash the towel off again before continuing. By the time he was done the towel was dark brown again. "You poor thing, I wonder what happened to you." Alec said softly.
Now that the animal had the dirt washed off of him he was actually a very beautiful kitten with glossy black fur, if not a little matted, and bright green eyes. It was still skinnier than it should be but Alec would take care of that soon enough. The cat meowed at him. "Your welcome." Alec said with a smile. He took the kitten into his room and set down on the bed with him in his lap. Alec stroked him softly. The kitten purred and nuzzled his face into his hand. Alec smiled and gently rubbed his ears. "You need a name, but what should I name you?" Alec mused. The cat stopped his purring and look up at Alec curiously with his bright green eyes.
Alec's eyes lit up. "How about Magnus?" Alec could have sworn the kitten smiled.
