When Neal got home he was surprised to see three cats in his apartment, one looking like a darker orange version of Mango, " Aislynn, what is going on here? Why do we suddenly have three cats? "

" Jade is my new kitten, and the other orange cat is Mango's brother, Sunburst, here visiting. " Aislynn answers.

Jade walks right up to Neal and mews sweetly, looking up at him. Neal sighs and picks the kitten up, she snuggles right in and starts purring, " Well, aren't you a well behaved little lady, Jade, unlike a certain tom here who doesn't ask for permission. "

Aislynn looks reproachfully at her papà, " Mango doesn't need permission. "

Neal blinks at the look he is getting from his daughter and the cat in question, Derek just smirks, apparently Neal was in the cathouse at the moment. Aislynn picks Mango up and cuddles him, the tom looking smugly at Neal, as if to say, I got the hug and you didn't. Jade mews again and Neal starts to pet her while Sunburst follows Aislynn to the couch where both toms get pets and snuggles from the girl.

Aislynn smiles as the brothers curl up with her, she loved cats, and having three around was a dream come true for her. She was with her papà again, and hopefully would never have to see her mother ever again. She loved her Aunt Ella and couldn't bear the thought of not having her or her papà in her life. Nor did she want to lose Mango anytime soon.

Mango purrs in contentment, liking this time with his mistress, though he knew Siobhan O'Leary would be back, so he and his brother had to be ready for her. That woman would not get anywhere near his mistress, his charge. She would pay for all of her crimes, the evil ones always did in the end. The rule of three applied to everyone and that included evil witches and Siobhan was one of the worst.

Sunburst eyes his brother, he knew how Mango felt, the witch had nearly killed him, would have if not for their father, Tiger, basically a brown version of them. He had attacked the woman by transforming into a tiger and she had dropped him and left. He was lucky to still be alive and for the woman to be going after the youngest Caffrey, well, that was just unthinkable.

They would both ensure her safety and Maureen would start coming to train Aislynn so the girl could start putting up wards herself, and the more layers the stronger the barrier. She would also have to train Neal, though his mother probably did and he just never realized it. The American Caffreys would have to be trained in order to defend themselves from the O'Leary's.

Though they would be protected until they were ready to defend themselves and they would still be protected, Aislynn would probably be taking over Maureen's job of raising familiars. The girl had an astonishing affinity with cats and Maureen would most likely recognize that. He hoped she did, because Aislynn had a great destiny ahead of her.

Author's Note: Tiger is another cat of mine that I haven't seen since May of this year and he actually is the papa of Mango and Sunburst.
