I watched as the Werecat Prince offered his fingerless-gloved hand to my sister, Laura, and though I was happy for her I swiped away tears from my eyes I would
and could always cry in my coffin later as the song "Cain" played on my iCoffin.
It was then that the Werecat did something that was unexpected and dropped my twin..
"Laura? Are you okay ?"Her black and pink hair flying to the floor in a heap.
Laura popped back up to a sitting position, "I'm okay." She sighed.
The Werecat called my attention by offering me a fingerless-gloved hand. I laid my pale, powerful but delicate, hand in his claw and picked me up off the ground.
He hiked my knee on his hip like he did Laura.
"If you drop me I swear to the Gods both mine and yours…"
"You'll do what? Praytell…"He asked.
"Um…"I didn't expect him to call my bluff but thinking quite literally I answered, "I can't answer that."
"Because you can't?"
I looked at him with an annoyed look, "No." I protested then added, " because there are kittens around."
"Right." He breathed and I watched as he ran his claw down my beaded bodice then he licked my scent of his claws. The corners of his lips turned up in a slight smile and closed his eyes as he purred, "Perfect."
What?"
"I pick you." He told me as he held my face in his claws I didn't fight this time, as he had finally chosen, and slowly came nearer to my face asAs I could feel his fingers tangle in the lacing of my corset and his other hand trace along the top seam of my skirt just under the stiff and constricting beaded bodice of my Victorian gown. I couldn't breathe when his soft lips finally made contact with mine. I could hear every cell in my body erupt in delight as he kissed me sparks flew and I knew that he was my destiny.
In response, I only muttered, "Perfect."
Rum Tum Tugger smiled as we nuzzled each other.
