Here we go, as said before, I will try to make this longer, and better. I've seen people on here go from terrible writes to some of the best I have read. Wish me luck.
'Where am I. Why am I just floating... Why is it all dark.' The thoughts went silent for a minutes. 'Ah, I must be sleeping, right?'
That she was, Ume was out cold and her dream was just that, black, nothingness, whatever one wished to call it. She didn't like it, usually her dreams were full of happy memories, or fantasy scenarios that left her wanting more in the morning. This however was neither and it was beginning to feel like a nightmare to her.
She woke late into the next day, surprised she was left alone to rest. Being a guest she expected someone to wake her in the morning. Glancing at a clock she read the time, 12 PM sharp, some timing to wake up. she climbed out of bed and walked to the window opening it and looking outside. The crow gargoyle looked at her and gasped in surprise nearly falling from his perch.
"Baron!" he shouts. "You need to come here right now!"
Baron shot out if the bureau followed by Muta. "What is the problem Toto?" Toto points to Ume, who at the moment was confused as to the situation, Baron looked and became quite surprised himself, a rare thing.
"What?" Ume asks looking down, her hands were covered in white fur, shining in the sunlight. She screams and falls back, Baron rushing into the house and making his way to the bedroom.
The first thing he notices is the busted lock on the trunk. "You opened, her trunk..."
000
Baron paced behind his desk furiously, he was upset, but didn't let it show on his features. Ume was sat on the couch staring at the strange new hands she now had, not wanting to look into a mirror just yet. She had gotten over her initial shock at becoming a half-cat, which meant no more screaming, but she was still in mild shock.
Her new body was covered in a coat of white fur, still with her sea green eyes, probably the only thing that remained the same was her eye color.
"Baron, calm down she didn't know what she was doing." Toto said trying to calm his friend, that won him a quick glare from Baron, Toto looked away and then to Ume.
"I, didn't mean to pry, but the trunk drew my attention as soon as I walked into the room. I didn't think the lock would break so easily." She sat in silence for moment. Baron broke it this time.
"It is fine, I am more concerned that have gone through such a change. Do you remember anything from the inside of the trunk." Rose nodded and checked her finger tip for the small wound from the pin.
"A pin pricked me, it was attached to a note."
"I found the note, but no pin." Baron held up the note and opened it reading over the piece of paper. "Ah, it would seem the pin was a gift from another one of the creations here. Made because we starting to lose ourselves on cases."
Ume tilted her head and stood walking over. She looked over the note herself.
I am writing this for anyone who the pin pricks. We are a dying breed, if you can call us that. Whether you were changed on your own accord or not, the change is only permanent if your heart wants it to be so. I wish you luck in choosing your future.
It wasn't signed. Ume sighed and walked to the couch nearly tripping over her own tail, Muta snickered and got the death stare from her.
"Well Miss Ume, if the note holds true you have a choice to make. I am unsure of when the choice will be made, but I would like you to stay for more than just a night. It would put my mind at ease to see you returned to your original form, or choose to stay as you are." Baron smiled gently putting the half-cat at ease.
"You make it sound as if I have a choice, I can't exactly walk around like this." A knock on the doors interrupts the group.
Baron approaches the set of double doors and opens it, revealing Naturo. "Hello." was all he got out before Muta tried to clobber him, Baron stopped him. "I'm not here to take anyone, I came to invite you for all the help, here a message from King Lune." He produced a sealed letter, Baron took it. Naturo fled as soon as it left his paws.
Baron broke the seal and opened the letter reading over it. "Ah the wedding, I was beginning to wonder when they would finally have the ceremony. They wish me to Bring along miss Haru, Toto?" Getting the message Toto flies off to find Haru. Ume sits there confused once again.
"That cat, also talks? Can all cats do that?" Muta snickers in the background sitting up.
"Not to humans girly, but you're no longer that, you can hear all cats just fine now." Ume put her hands on her new ears, blushing slightly and looking away.
"I guess you're right... so you all are going to a wedding right? What am I supposed to do?"
"Well miss Ume, I doubt Lune and Yuki would object to the bureau bringing along another guest, why not go with us." Baron smiled gently.
"Well, it wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen to me. But, I have nothing to wear, or a gift to give them. That and I haven't ever met them, are you sure Baron?"
"Don't worry about a gift, or about knowing them, they are two of the friendliest souls you will meet. Now as for something to wear," He looks out at the house next to the bureau. "Your new bedroom closet may be a good place to start looking."
Yay sort of, not much longer, but not as fast I think. I am writing it too fast, and making it terrible, sorry
