~~Chap 4~~ A Small Twisted Thought
Ravwrin sighed and sat back into her chair. She had finally convinced Dib to sleep in her bed and warned him about Rouk, she was cute and cuddly but could scare people sometimes.
"Well Rouk, I just had to bring home a cute, tall, and suicidal guy. What do you think?" Ravwrin asked her little pet.
Rouk looked at her and grinned like a Cheshire cat. (o.O now this is the little twist in this story) She started to clean her paws and face. "You found an interesting one. I like him, he likes taking showers and doesn't ignore me."
Ravwrin laughed and shook her head. "But what do you think his reaction to me would be?"
"To you?" the little creature asked with a cock of her head to the side. "What about you?"
"You know what I mean you little pest." Ravwrin said glaring at Rouk. "Who would want a tri-brid? Hah! That is just my question. A third alien, cat, and human, just what every guy needs."
"Oh that.I see nothing wrong with it. The golden color of the cat cancels out the green and it makes it seem like you have a tan. You eyes are cool. And your ears." Rouk said trailing off.
"My ears are cat ears, I have a cat tail, and paws Rouk. I have antenna coming off the tips of my ears and they are visible most of the time. What do you think he would do?" Ravwrin growled.
Rouk sighed and shook her head. "From what I see, he is only interested in you."
"Because I saved his life." Ravwrin finished.
Ravwrin crossed her arms in front of her and sighed. "If I wouldn't have been there he would have jumped. I only did it because he should live."
"And I believe that. But you need to stop thinking about your looks and start to think about your attitude and what is inside." Rouk said and glared at Ravwrin. "You need to stop worrying and start living. Tomorrow you can see where he lives and walk with him home."
"But.."
"No buts. I don't need you moping around because you never did see him home safely."
"Rouk.." Ravwrin whined. "When did you become my mom?"
"When you found me here. You started it and now finish it." Rouk said and growled.
"Fine." Ravwrin answered and glared at her pet.
"Good. I'm gonna go curl up somewhere and sleep." Rouk said and hopped down to the floor.
She shimmered for a second and let her true form show through. She was the same size as before but with the same coloring as her master's hair. Two wings unfolded from her back showing thin webbing as they unfolded. She shook herself once and the image she had before came back up.
Ravwrin sighed and shook her head. (Just what we all need. Her to show herself before I do.) she chided herself.
The night drew on and soon Ravwrin curled up in a chair and slept. But what both of them in the apartment didn't know was that someone or something else was watching them and plotting something.
***********
Dib woke to sunlight streaming into a window. It somewhat had found its way into his eyes and would not let him sleep any longer.
Dib was curled up around a small ball of fur. He smiled to himself a little and stretched himself out on the king sized bed. He laid a hand on the small creature's head and scratched it behind the ears.
"Come on you pest. Lets get up before we sleep the rest of the day." Dib whispered to the Rouk.
She gave a small grunt and another sound and rolled over to show her belly. She stretched out and yawned at the same time revealing small sharp claws from her paws. Rouk looked at him rolled back over and hopped onto his chest. She stuck her little tongue out at the boy playfully and licked his nose.
"Hey!" he exclaimed. He wiped his nose off and playfully batted the little creature's ears.
Dib finally got up and stretched long and hard. His back cracked loudly and he winced. For some odd reason he had felt happier today than he had in a long time.
Dib walked out into the living room to see Ravwrin already up and basically setting up the small table for a breakfast. She looked up at him and smiled cheerfully and set back to her job.
Something in Dib then bust. Feelings he had forgotten came flooding back from what that one smile had done. He shook his head and thought, (I can't believe this. I actually fell for someone.) He laughed to himself and shook his head again.
He helped her finish setting up and watched as she made breakfast. He couldn't help but let his mind wander from what had happened last night and to now. Soon the other thoughts we pushed out of the way by a feeling that they were being watched.
