The Angle

By Moonlight at midnight

Chapter Five

As the days went by, Dragon slipped slowly into depression. Her sister wouldn't have anything to do with her, and as glad as that would of made her, it depressed her even more.

Dragon's nightmares came frequently, she'd dream of that dreadful day, she'd dream of the demon; how he talked, how he smelled etc... And every time her dream got to its climax she'd wake up, drenched in cold sweat, looking truly pale. There would be days she'd fall asleep during magic lessons and wake up and still think she were dreaming. They were getting worse.

Dragon buried herself in her work, as best as she could. She would stay up real late, or all night, reading her text books. Trying to rid herself of the memories of her nightmares.

One day Dragon was out around the gardens, thinking she might need a break, and considering it was Wednesday she might as well take it now. She walked and admired her surrounding, blocking out all her thoughts, and the memory of last nights dream. When she heard something in the bushes, she took a look, and saw a black cat with green eyes.

"Well hello there," Dragon told the cat kindly.

Hi! The cat replied.

Dragon blinked in surprise, "Umm, did you just say something?"

Well, umm...yeah I guess I did. The cat said, with cat laughter

"Can I help you with anything?" Dragon asked the cat.

I've been watching you for awhile now...you seem like such a nice, lonely, and sad person. So I think I'm going to stick with you. I don't like any of the other people here. The cat said.

"Well umm okay," Dragon said.

From that day forward, Dragon had a feline friend she could talk to, and because of that, she was able to keep herself from...certain...thoughts. The cat told her his name was Brute. Dragon laughed real hard at this. The fact was, the cat wasn't like all the other cats in the castle. It wasn't mean, it was...well...kind of like a dog. It was always happy, it played like a dog, and in fact the cat actually idolized the dog from Call of the Wild.

Dragon laughed even harder at this. She found Brute so much fun to be around. Brute followed her everywhere, in to classes, at the dinner table, to bed, to the bathroom, every where. When he followed her to her classes Mr. Saunders always told her to get rid it somehow. While she calmed him down, apparently Brute wasn't a very big fan of Mr. Sanders.

Brute and Dragon were completely inseparable. And soon people got used to seeing the cat around, they'd say hello to him in the hall if they saw him. But mostly Brute kept to Dragon.

This is how Dragon made one friend in the castle.
