So later that night we had a feast. I told Senna, that I needed fresh air. But I took a swim in the lagoon of Immortality instead. It really helped to relax. I dived deeper in and found an underwater cave entrance. I swam up it and gasped. It was a beautiful cave with an opening where you could see the moon. I sat in the chair form rock. I saw a clam in the puddle and it was half open. I opened it trying not to harm it and saw a pearl inside. I looked at it and put it carefully back.

I petted it and I heard a little voice:,, Thank you for not taking my pearl.''

I jumped and turned around to find the speaker. I was all alone in the cave except the clam.

,, Did you talk?'' I quietly asked.

,, You can understand me?'' The same voice said.

I nodded.

,, You must have to the gift to communicate with animals. It's a very rare gift.'' It said.

,, So let me get this straight. I can understand any bird, fish, animal or bug?''

,, Only when you make a physical contact like petting.'' It sounded very intelligent.

,, This trip just got creepier.'' I put down the clam.

,, Listen. I'm going to give you the sacred necklace of animal world. That way you can hear us without touching us.''

,, Okay. Where is it?'' I asked.

,, It's hidden in the temple of Ozaid. He was the first vampire, who learned the gift to understand us.'' The clam answered.

,, Where is the temple of Ozaid?'' I asked.

,, On the other side of the mighty Greekadonius. He was the first Greek explorer, who made it down the volcano, but the rope got burned on his way up and he fell in the lava.''

I felt sorry for the guy. I thanked the clam and dived back to the land. I quickly ran to the volcano's top and then I saw it. The temple looked more like a whole ancient city. I knew that I'll need the help I can get. So I went to the jaguar cave. Looked like they remembered me quite well. The kitten ran to me and seemed like he knew me as well. I remembered, what the clam said.

,, You have to make physical contact with us to communicate, or wear the necklace.''

I petted the kitten and said:,, Hi there, little guy. Look, I need your family's help to get the necklace of the animal world, so I can understand all of you.''

The kitten sounded like a five year old. ,, I'm going to try to make them listen, but I think, that they want an apology from you.''

I nodded. ,, Tell them to trust me on this and let me pet them to create the connection.''

The jaguars looked at me suspiciously, but came to me.

After I made the connection I said:,, Listen, I'm so sorry about that kidnapping incident, but it would have been worse, if I had a cold heart, he would be made in a pair of boots or something like that.'' I tried to explain.

They cooled a bit and the grey jaguar said:,, Very well. We forgive you. Now you had a favor?''

I nodded:,, Yes. You see there's a necklace of the animal world hidden in the treasure room in the temple of Ozaid. And I need all the help to get it so I can keep it safe and help my gift.''

The leader of the pack nodded:,, Let's go then.''

We got to the gates of the temple. We flashed through the pathway. We tried to open the door, but it won't open up.

,, Stand back.'' I said and backed up for a good running start.

I ran as fast as I could and kicked the door open in a flying kick. We entered the room and were amazed. It was all from mossy stone, but there were golden accents in the ceiling.

,, This place is amazing.'' I whispered.

There were a lot of rooms to explore, but we got stuck in the main room, because one of the jaguars stepped on a tile, activating booby traps. Arrows started to fly out of chutes in the walls. I dodged the arrows and caught them as fast as I could. I heard a painful roar behind me. I threw around and saw, the kitten's mother injured by the arrows. I flashed to her and tried to keep her alive, but it didn't last long.

,, Take good care of my baby.'' She whispered closing her eyes.

,, Mommy.'' The kitten tried to wake her up, but I hugged him tightly and whispered:,, I'm sorry, but she's… gone.''

I started to cry. The pack looked like they would cry too, but they tried to stay strong. We moved on and finally found the door. There was a riddle and a golden bowl.

,, What's it say?'' I asked.

The leader came forward and read it out loud to us:,, What can kill and reanimate?''

,, God?''

,, Fate?''

,, Death?''

I heard many gestures.

I thought logically and I knew the answer.

,, It's vampire venom!'' I turned around to them.

,, Are you sure?'' He asked me.

,, Positive. I mean the vampire venom kills and reanimates. It kills the mortal body and then it reanimates it making it undead.'' I explained.

I saw the bowl and spitted some drops of the venom in it. The door creaking opened.

,, Told you.'' I shined.

We entered the gigantic room and saw the necklace around the neck of a statue of Ozaid himself.

,, This is it.'' I sighed.

I slowly walked over to it watching my step. We had enough fallen at the main room. I got over to the podium and looked for any signs that it could be a trap. I examined it and saw a tiny wire tied to the necklace.

,, Too predictable.'' I smirked.

,, I need a rock or something heavy.'' I yelled.

They gave me a crown. And I untied the wire and tied it to the crown. Nothing happened. We ran out of the temple as fast as we could and got back to the jaguar cave.

,, Thank you so much for helping me. And I'm sorry about your friend.'' I waved the kitten to follow me.

,, Don't worry. I'll take a good care of him.''

And we headed back to the Big Tree with the necklace.

,, Maria, where were you? You missed the rest of the feast.'' Senna asked.

She saw the kitten and smiled:,, Aw! Aren't you cutest little thing?'' She hugged him and played with him.

,, I met him at the lagoon of Immortality and he just followed me all the way here.'' I said.

,, What is that?'' She asked me.

,, Oh this? Oh, uh I was bored so we made this from the things we found underwater.'' I lied.

,, Well come on. Your friend's already waiting for you.'' She smiled and led me inside.

Sweeney was sitting in the guest room.

I entered the room and smiled:,, Hi, Sweeney. Sorry I was gone for that long. I needed a little walk.''

He kissed me on the cheek and saw a little nose in the doorway.

,, Who is that?'' He grinned.

,, Oh. I met him on my way back and he followed me all the way. I'm thinking to take him home.'' I walked to the door and picked the little kitten up.

,, I'm sorry, that I'm saying this, but are you out of your mind? A jaguar in London? I'm not sure, that it's a good idea.'' He raised an eyebrow.

We both made puppy eyes and I said in a cute little voice:,, Please, can we keep it?''

He gave up and sighed:,, Oh alright. We'll take him to London with us.''

I felt my smile growing bigger:,, Oh thank you, Sweeney. You're the best.'' I kissed him.

It was the time we needed to go back to London. We took a boat this time, so we could get Judy (I thought of that name for the kitten.) dry to London. We stopped at the docks and took our clothes from the box and we looked like ordinary Londoners again. When we got to the shop Mrs. Lovett was already waiting for us.

,, It's a good thing you left a note. I was worried at first before I found the letter.'' She put her hands on her hips and smiled:,, And who is this cute thing? A really strange cat I must say.''

,, Mrs. Lovett, that's not a cat. It's a jaguar.'' I said.

,, Where on Earth you think to keep him?'' She was shocked.

,, In our room. Ann loves pets as much as I do. And his mom died in an accident.'' I hugged him closer.

,, Where is Ann anyway?'' I asked.

That moment a carriage pulled up in front of the shop and Ann stepped out of it dragging a guy around her age with her. Was that…

,, Ann, you didn't.'' I came closer.

,, What? Just because you have a boyfriend doesn't mean I have to be alone.'' She coolly explained.

,, Well you had to drag Harry Styles here?'' I was mad.

,, You know I'm in love with him.'' She smiled.

,, Great, but where's he going to sleep?'' I raised an eyebrow.

,, In your bed. You don't sleep anymore, so why waste a good bed?'' She answered.

,, Well where am I going to be?'' I asked.

,, You can sleep with Sweeney. You practically share the bed already.'' She smirked.

,, But why did you knock him out?'' I was confused.

,, So he wouldn't resist or run away, duh.'' She looked at me like I was a complete idiot.

,, Well good luck getting him to fall in love with you.'' I chuckled and walked upstairs to the shop with Sweeney.

I heard a lock and I saw the door was locked.

,, Why did you lock the door?'' I asked.

,, So no one would disturb us.'' He smirked and fell in the chair.

I knew what he wanted. So I sat in his lap and we went in for a kiss.

To be continued...

The reason I put Harry Styles in this chapter is because Ann is a huge fan. So I did her a favor ( You're welcome Ann :D) Stay tuned for chapter 14
