I looked in the mirror. I saw me. Blue, covered in fur. The reason she can't love me. I picked up a book and hurled it at cause of my pain, my own reflection. It's been twenty minutes since she received my note. I passed by the phone. The memory of Amanda's sobbing still haunted my mind. I didn't want to cause her the anguish I felt, though I failed at preventing that.

In the past days I felt my humor withering. Smiling was a chore, and Amanda repeatedly consoled my nameless grief. Kitty. She began to talk to me more, playing around with me. Didn't she understand the temptation? She was right there, so close, so faraway. I wiped the tears stinging my eyes. Tonight. Tonight I will tell her. I could keep it inside any longer, it was eating me alive.

I heard footsteps outside the room, someone heard the glass break. I waited a moment before the door opened, leaving only a trace of sulfur to reveal my departure.

Kitty stood alone, aware of my presence. I would wait no more. I would tell her now.

*Read and review* There is much more to come.
