Hey guys! I decided to ditch the (A/N): thing, it gets annoying. So, in return for your patience I decided to do a smaller chapter rather than a really big chapter that would take me forever to do. So! Here it is. It's not much but for now it will have to do. Enjoy!
Chapter 10
Grave stones
The cat-girl watched as Ed walked out of the house and down the porch steps. Her now multi-colored eyes followed him from her spot on the railing where she perched. Glancing down she disdainfully noted the dog, but since he was on a leash she jumped down with surprising ease onto the ground far below. She dutifully trotted after him, her tail raised high in the air like a flag as she tagged along behind him. Ben noticed almost immediately but the feline glared at him with a burning intensity. So he resigned to remain silent.
Wolfen had been trotting behind him for a while when they came across two people that Ed must have known and they quickly got into a casual conversation. The man was the first one to spot the random addition and when she was pointed out, the blonde turned around and spotted the feline. He had laughed a bit at how he hadn't even noticed her and soon they had continued on their way. A full belly made it easier for her to travel the distance the human and dog did, but it was still pretty tiring.
Glancing up, she saw where the blonde's destination was. The sight of it made her halt in her steps.
The graveyard.
She gulped and lowered her tail, slinking forward behind the boy timidly. She had a respect for graveyards that few others possessed. They were a sacred place meant for the dead to rest. This was where his mother was buried, and that only doubled the intensity of this moment.
Wolfen stopped just outside the entrance, watching Ed walk in with the dog. In his hands he held a bouquet, but he placed it on the grounds once he arrived at her stone. This sprung an idea into her mind and she glanced around wildly for something to bring. A rather lovely weed grew a few feet away and seeing the opportunity quickly trotted over and used her mouth to pull it out of the ground. She ended up having to play tug-of-war and eventually pulled out the entire thing, roots and all. She shrugged. She did her best.
The feline approached the blonde male but walked passed him and placed the weed next to the bouquet. The flowers made the weed pale in comparison but Wolfen was proud of her efforts nevertheless.
Glancing up the cat-girl saw that Ed's golden eyes were widened and his mouth parted slightly. He was looking straight at her. Wolfen's ears instinctively angled themselves back.
'Uh oh… Did I do something wrong?'
