I had a lot of trouble writing this part i don't know why... sorry for the wait but hope you like it :) ~Sanity

I remained curled up on Teep the whole way back to Rythian's castle. I place my tail over my eyes and try to fall asleep, but find it impossible with the ever present smell of wolves that lingers in the air. The sent of blood is added to the mix as we near the place I was attacked. It's undoubtedly my own blood and I shiver at the memory.

I curl into myself tighter and try to think happy thoughts. Definitely not thoughts of brutally murdering and than burning the bodies of a certain pack of wolves. Nope. Nothing like that.

I must have fallen asleep to my pleasant and definitely not murderous thoughts because when I woke up we were in front of Rythian's castle. I jump down from Teep, stretch and walk the rest of the way to the castle doors. Its about mid day and i'm anxious to relieve myself of this nagging boredom.

My intellect has proven useful in the past and id never dream of life without it, but it can be quite troublesome. I'm easily distracted and it's hard to focus on one thing for too long.

If I'm left with nothing to do the boredom can become almost painful. There are millions of things in my castle that I can use to occupy myself, but seeing as I am now a cat and in Rythian's castle instead of my own, my options are limited.

I search the ground floor for something to do. I find nothing of interest, only something in the condenser that makes me fear Rythian a bit more...

I venture up the stairs for the first time since i've been here, and explore each room thoroughly before advancing to the next. I don't find much in the bathroom or what appears to be a guest room, and i'm starting to loss hope of keeping what little's left of my sanity.

I come to the only room i haven't yet explored. I enter the master bedroom with little hope of finding anything of worth. Rythian and Zoey enter the room before I can start my search.

"Oh! Mr. Kitty!" Zoey smiles and crouches a few feet away from me. She preforms the same annoying routine she did last night, Chirping and calling 'here kitty kitty'. I would have scratched her if I wasn't afraid i'd anger Rythian in the processes. She soon gives up her attempts to get me to approach and settles for simply watching me.

"He needs a name." Rythian snaps out of his thoughts at Zoey's words. He looks at the back of her head with a confused expression.

"What?"

"We cant keep calling him Mr. Kitty now can we?" she says in a matter-of-fact tone. She chuckles and turns her gaze to the mage. "He needs a name."

"Trouble seems appropriate. Its the only thing that can come from Lalna's cat."

"Meow!" I flick my tail back and forth in annoyance and Zoey stands up. She puts her hands on her hips and scorns Rythian playfully.

"Look, you've upset Mr. Kitty!" she turns back to me. "The kitty of an amazing designer needs an amazing name!" She holds her chin with her right hand, her left supporting it from underneath. I assume this is her thinking face. Rythian looks slightly worried and this worries me.

"Like..like Geoff or Vincent! Or maybe Catna, because he's Lalna's cat!" No! Please no!

"No." Mental note to thank Rythian later. Zoey pouts and crosses her arms.

"I don't see you coming up with anything."

"I came up with Trouble." He says nonchalantly, with a blank face.

"Noooo. It has to be something magical!"

"Ryker, or Arcan."

"Not that magical." Rythian sighs. I feel kind of bad for him and I look up at him sympathetically.

I regret it immediately.

He was doing the same for me. Our eyes meet and he inhales sharply. His expression turns to one of surprise and, to my horror, recognition. I quickly avert my gaze and hope for the best. Rythian mumbles something in Swedish, but doesn't seem angry.

"Bekant..."

"Bekant? I like it! His name will be Bekant!

"What? No that wasn't...why not call him something else? Like Goggles or something?" Rythian holds up his hands and tries to convince Zoey to not name some Swedish word that could mean any number of things, and if Rythian realized who I am, any number of very nasty things...

"I like Bekant~"

"But...Oh screw it."

...how did this happen?
