It had been almost a month since Cassie had been accepted into the Sohma
house, and she was really enjoying herself there. She shared a room with
Tohru, and they became fast friends. Cassie did not go to school because
she's actually 21, which when the others found out, gave them all a
surprise. Cassie laughed casually about it. She looked much younger than
she actually was.
After working all day, cassie was happy to go home for the night. She walked happily through the trees toward the house, when she looked up and noticed the full moon for the first time. "beautifull" she smiled. It had been a long time since she'd been able to go out and enjoy the night, and she walked in silent wonder of the bright sparkeling stars in the sky. Cassie walked in a day dream, whisteling to herself and happy that she had a warm place to go home to at night. She thought of the Sohmas as family, and knew that when she had the money, she'd feel sorry to have to leave. She was quite sure that the Sohmas had become close to her as well. When she was there, she felt like she had the family that she had never had before.
Cassie looked over the small feild that lay not far from the trail opening that lead to the Sohma house. She suddenly got this creepy feeling, like she was being watched, but decided it was her imagination. Even if she was being followed, Cassie was quite sure she could handle anything that came her way. Moving carefully through the trees, she stopped when she heard a russeling in the brush. She stoped and waited, pretending to be interested in the moon, which loomed magnificantly above her. "i bet it's Shigure playing tricks on me" she thought, and pretended to un aware of the strange noises in the brush. She picked up a stick of the ground to use as a walking stick, but then suddenly whilred around and hit the bruch with it, feeling it hit something solid, and watched in amusement as a shape rose out of the bushes. Her amusement however, was short lived, when she saw a pair of angry red eyes gazing into her own, and the massive silloette of a strange beast looming before her. Cassie dropped the stick and opened her mouth to scream. The thing raised its paw and hit her accrossed the face, knocking her on the ground really hard. Cassie gasped for breath in shock and surprise, while gazing up in horror at the beast. She tried to get up, to run away, but it hit her again, tearing claws into her arm. Cassie screamed, and threw a large rock at its head. She didn't remember picking up the rock, and didn't wait to see if it hit, although she could hear it's cry of pain and rage as she took of like the wind through the trees, running blindly for the Sohma house, wondering if she was just imagining the sound of foot steps behind her, but too afraid to look back and see. She ran into the house gasping, everyone had gone to bed, so no one knew she had come home. She looked behind her, but there was nothing there.
Cassie stummbeled into the bathroom to wash up her arm. but when she looked down, she realized there was no cut. "wha?" she exclaimed. "i know it was dark...but i felt it cut my arm...i saw the blood...." she noticed that there was even dried blood on her arm..but there was no cut to be seen. "this is too weird."Cassie looked out into the night, and felt strangely cold and shaky. She decided to go to bed, and tell everyone what she saw tomorrow. It was too late tonight, and besides, she couldn't tell anyone that she'd been hit by it, because there was no cut...she must have imagined it..it was just too weird. In confusion and wonder, Cassie fell into a restless haunted sleep.
