A tickling sensation was felt against my nose and I used my hand to rub it as my eyes opened. Jinx had apparently laid in front of me. Sighing, I moved away and sat up to turn on the light by my bed. Seeing a tray of food on the dresser, I knew Layla must have come in sometime. I checked the clock in the room and found it was eleven fifty at night. I was just going to go back to sleep, but then my stomach clenched from hunger and I went up to the try. I decided to stand and eat even if my eating pace was supper slow.
I had finished and I stretched, still having Anthony's hoodie. At his name, I stopped and turned my head towards the door. What happened with him after the… ordeal? I glanced towards Jinx and a plan began to form into my head. I was going to see Anthony… tonight- or well this morning since it was almost twelve. That's it, my mind was made up.
Carefully, I pictured myself as a black cat with soft fur and the likes. Soon, I was on all fours, a black tail with a white tip protruding from my behind. Currently, it was in an up position. I was mortified! It was at this point where Jinx hopped off the bed to stand beside me. Slowly, he began rubbing himself against me. I froze, my fur starting to bristle.
"Relax princess, I wondered when you were going to transform into a cat."
Oh wow uh… hello! My cat eyes (which could see much better in the dark) looked towards the sound of the voice. Jinx was talking? Holy crap!
"Uhmm… how can you talk to me and why the hell are you rubbing against me?" I asked him.
I got a chuckle in response until he stopped rubbing against me and looked at me.
"First off, when you shape shift into another animal, you develop the ability to understand them. If you transform into one form- say a wolf on a regular bases, then you can be a cat and still understand them, but they more than likely will not understand you."
Oh… but wait!
"How do you know I'm a shape shifter?"
"Not very bright are you?"
"Watch it…" I hissed dangerously low at him.
His tail flicked once in response- a bit ticked, but he seemed amused all the same.
"I just saw you transform from a human into a cat, duh."
"Oh yeah… sorry…"
And I was, but still he had not answered my other question yet.
"So why were you rubbing against me?"
Jinx only looked at me and from this whole speaking encounter, he seemed more human than cat or something more… human since apparently werewolves existed- if you get what I mean. He only did a cat-like shrug before jumping back on my bed.
"Lovely view by the way," he said as I moved towards the door.
I hissed. The bastard, I could not control my tail yet… so what?
I had opened the door before I changed, allowing my paw to open the door further inwards so I could slip out. My eyes were simply awesome like this since I could see so well. I just hoped Jinx stayed in the room.
I padded lightly through the hall way, sniffing, looking, and trying to locate Anthony's room throughout the house. Being a dog or wolf would have been better to sniff out the scent, but cats were stealthier.
I finally sensed that I was at Anthony's door and I pushed it open, glad it was not locked or closed all the way. Anthony was in his bed, apparently asleep, but not for long. I hopped onto the bed, walking over his legs and to his side where his head was facing, sitting now in front of his stomach. The covers were brought up over his shoulders. I studied his face.
He looked so peaceful that I totally had to re-think waking him up. Should I or shouldn't I? Deciding against it, I plopped down gracefully to the floor and made my way out the door and to my room. So much for waking him up and talking to him, but I did at least see him.
Jinx was waiting for me on my bed I had noticed after pushing my door shut with my head. I was not changing back yet since I kind of wanted to talk to Jinx. I jumped on my bed, moving over to Jinx and swatted at him once just because it looked so fun when cats did it. He returned it with his own paw and then I became serious.
"Alright so, time to talk…"
I had said that, now to just think of how to talk to him.
"Wait a minute, just stay there and trust me."
Huh? I looked up at him them since he was male and taller than me in my cat form. Nevertheless, I stayed there and watched. Jinx began to transform… into something… I KNEW it! Jinx was more than just a cat! He looked human now.
He smiled at me from his sitting position on the bed.
"Change back and then we can talk."
I didn't think (which I should have) and changed back to my human form to sit on the bed, I had closed my eyes during this to concentrate, but before I opened them, I heard Jinx talk again.
"Picture just as you were before you transformed- the clothes you were wearing per say."
So I did just that and then opened my eyes. I looked down and was amazed to find that I was clothed this time. So that is what I had to do then. The whole situation with Luke could have been avoided.
"Thanks, but who are you and what are you?"
So I ended up asking a bit harsh, but whatever.
So... this story is basically in slow progress, but I do have interesting time trying to come up with events to happen. Yet, I would like to thank all of you who review and read this even if I don't update for like... three months? Sorry guys. Even though this is short, I hope you have enjoyed it.
