Kitty Kibbles: Here is part 2!!! We're starting to get a little "catty" now
( The next chapter should be following shortly since the ideas are pouring
out of me so quickly! Enjoy! Etcy
Melissa walked up the stoop to her new home. She took a quick cleansing breath and opened the door to enter into a home full of boxes. Making her way around the winding maze of boxes she called out to her parents. "Mom? ...Dad? I'm home! Is anybody here?"
"In the kitchen honey!" Her mother called a little bit exasperated. She made her way to the kitchen and put her book bag on the table. Her mother was found unwrapping glass-wear and placing them neatly in the cabinets. "There is so much unpacking to do, I don't know if we're ever going to get done!"
Melissa laughed at her mom while she picked an after-school snack from the refrigerator, "I'll be upstairs, I have some homework I have to do."
"Well, wait! How was your first day of school? Tell me about it I could definitely take a break!" Taking a breath and pushing some loose hairs out of her face her mom sat down at the table and patted the seat next to her. "Come on, sit and tell me about everything!"
"Oookay. It wasn't too exciting. I went to all my classes and learned a lot." She smiled and attempted to get up before her mother grabbed her hand and forced her to tell more. "What? Ok, ok, so I met a boy. That's it I swear!" The blush under Melissa's cheeks was too red for words.
Her mother giggled at her daughter and gave up. "Fine I'm sorry I embarrassed you...is he cute?" She asked with a giant grin.
"Mom! Stop it!" She yelled with mock annoyance with covering up her ear-to- ear grin. "Yes he was too dreamy to even describe! But I really have to get upstairs. Call me when dinners ready?"
"Of course! I am you're mother! It's my job to keep you on schedule." She smiled and gave her a pat on the rump before getting back to work.
In her bedroom, Melissa was looking at her calendar tying to figure out her dates. Her 17th birthday was in a few days! She began to do her homework but couldn't help but think of Derek. His face was a complete distraction to her! So instead of finishing her homework like she should have, she decided rather to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling in a complete daydream.
Her daydream eventually turned into a real dream as she was swept away into a slumber-land. Her eyes opened into a dreamscape. It was dark all around her except for the glowing of a full moon overhead, and a mist surrounded her being. The mist wasn't anything she'd ever discovered before. It was like molasses, thick and heavy. She pushed her way forward through the fog with much effort and as the fog began to disperse she became aware of her surroundings.
In front of her stood an oversized junk-heap. She couldn't believe her eyes. What happened to her? Did she shrink? Or did all this stuff just grow? All around her were bits of garbage; not the gross garbage but the big stuff such as beds, broken chairs, appliances, and the occasionally scattered pieces of newspaper. Her eyes went wide in shock as she spun around trying to asses where she was, "Where am I?!" she screamed into the oblivion.
A whisper...someone was here...no two someones. She heard more voices whispering in the darkness around her and the voices grew louder until she covered her ears to block them out. "What do you want?!" Chills ran up and down her spine until she couldn't take the stress any longer. Her body became heavy and she lifelessly fell to the ground. And then, black...
Melissa jolted out of her sleep, falling on the floor as she tried to sit up. Her breathing was heavy as her heartbeat kept at a pounding pace. She leaned her head on her bed as her eyes darted around wildly trying to figure out if she was still in her dreamscape or not. Sweat beaded on her forehead and she went to wipe it. As soon as her fingers touched her skin she knew something was different. It felt softer...it was furry...she couldn't understand! What was wrong with her?! "What? What is this?" she quickly picked herself off the floor and ran to the hallway bathroom to see what the problem was. She hurriedly flipped the light switch and as her eye adjusted to the light she looked into the mirror with panic. She expected to see a girl she's always known. A girl with long and wavy, rich brown hair, her small nose and perked lips, the bright emerald eyes...but no...
"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" she screamed with a loudness that could be heard around the world. "Oh my God!!!" Her parents made their way to the bathroom to see what had occurred. Melissa fell into her fathers arms in a faint.
She awoke in her bed with her parents standing over her. "Melissa? Melissa? Sweetheart? What are you doing? It's 3 in the morning! Wh....What's wrong?" her mom asked very worried.
Melissa shook her head lightly, trying to clear her mind like an etch-a- sketch. "Oh, Mom it was so strange!" she cried to her mother. "I was in a junkyard and there were whispers and...and...and...look at my forehead!" she pointed a shaking finger to the middle of her forehead as the tears streamed freely down her rosy cheeks.
Hastily her mother put a hand to Melissa's forehead, but had no reaction. "Honey, your forehead is fine. It's a little warm, but it's fine." She brought her daughter to her in a tight hug and kissed her head. "You must just be overwhelmed. It's hard adjusting to a new place. Just go back to sleep and you'll be fine I promise." She smiled and attempted to lay Melissa in bed.
Nothing was wrong? Melissa was very confused. How could nothing be wrong? She saw what she saw! As her mother tried to lay her in bed she quickly jumped up to look in the mirror to confirm what she saw...but there was nothing there. How could that be? Was she hallucinating? She could have sworn there were tan and white colored hairs protruding from her head! She suddenly felt very light headed and made her way back to her mother and her bed. "It must have all been just a dream." She smiled, still not believing that it didn't happen, but deciding to drop the subject for the time being. This was a matter to contemplate over.
Her mom smiled and sat down beside Melissa rubbing her back as she spoke, "Okay, now you should really try to get some rest. It must be the new environment making you a little sick. How about this: You can stay home tomorrow from school. Does that sound good?"
With a nod, Melissa gave a yawn and closed her eyes as her mother continued to rub her back. The rubbing was extremely soothing and pleasurable to Melissa. She enjoyed the comforting feeling of her mother's hands protecting her.
Soon enough Melissa was sleeping soundlessly. As quietly as possible, her mother covered her with a flannel blanket and silently walked out of the room giving a loving glance as she closed the door.
Outside the crickets chirped, as the moon shone overhead, and a boy smiled knowing the process had begun.
