chapter.
Ch. 5: Faithful
As the door flung open, all that was in the hallway was the flickering of the candles. Thom looked around wearily and shrugged. He was about to close the door when something small and black flew into the room knocking the redheaded man over. He yelped as he was rammed onto Jon's bed and flipped over it landing crumpled up on the ground. Confused, but also amused, Alanna reached down and picked up the small meowing kitten off the floor. It immediately started to purr happily.
"ALANNA! What IS that blasted thing?!" yelled Thom panicked.
"Just a little kitten, brother. Cute little thing it is!"
Thom snorted. "You call THAT cute! It nearly killed me!"
Jon was doubled over and in the midst of his laughter, when he abruptly stopped. "Blazes, Alanna! Purple lamps! Just like you and Thom!"
Alanna lifted the kitten higher in the air to get a good look at its eyes. They were indeed a brilliant shade of violet like her own. "It's so thin. It doesn't appear to have a home..." she trailed off.
"No! NO! That thing is evil! Smitten with a curse it is!" Thom said angrily.
"Oh Thom, you're just upset because this little thing knocked you over onto the floor."
Jon's laughter started up again.
"Oh shut it Jon. It's not funny!"
The prince only laughed harder. "You should've seen the look on your face!" he managed to chuckle out.
Alanna smiled slightly. "What do you think I should call him?" She asked after she found out it was a male.
"How about Killer." Thom said sarcastically.
"Or how about Champion." "I rather like Faithful." Alanna said aloud. The kitten's purr intensified. "Yes, Faithful it is then!"
Thom stood up glaring at the little kitten and locked the door tightly. "This door is staying locked. No way is another one of THOSE getting in here!"
Jon leaned is head back. "Ahh, that was refreshing. I haven't laughed that much since. . . since. . . Oh yes, when that page beat you this afternoon Thom!"
Alanna laughed aloud, "A page Thom!?"
"Don't even start," Thom muttered giving them both dirty looks.
"C'mon Thom, we're only teasing you a bit." Jon said amused.
Thom shrugged, but looked over at Alanna. "You came here for a reason. What was that you were trying to tell us when before we were RUDELY interrupted." He said glaring at Faithful. The kitten seemed to smile and continued purring. "How did that thing even knock anyways?"
After Thom had reminded her why she was there, her heart dropped. She had briefly forgotten. The panic began to come back quickly. She opened her mouth to continue the story where she left off, but a meow cut her off.
Not yet. Now is not the time. Trust me.
Alanna looked down in surprise.
"Did you just...did you guys just hear..."
Only you can understand me. They can not until I allow them to.
"Where did you come from?"
A place you've never been before.
Thom looked at Jon confused. "Is she talking to the cat?" he asked under his breath so only Jon can hear.
"That's the way it looks."
Thom turned back to his twin. "Alanna, sister dear, are you ok? Are you, uhh, talking to that cat?"
"Why don't you ask him yourself Thom."
Faithful just looked up at Thom and growled under his breath.
"Blasted thing! It doesn't matter right now. What were you going to tell us?"
"It's not a matter of importance anymore right now. Just watch your back Thom. You too Jon." And with that she stood and exited the door with her cat on her shoulder.
The prince turned to his squire. "What was all that about?"
"I don't know," Thom responded. "Maybe it was some kind of lady thing."
Jonathon of Conte shook his head, "I don't think I could ever understand women. Especially not that one. . . ." he trailed off in a dreamy voice.
Thom only rolled his eyes.
