Neko Love ch. 6
Anna's P.O.V.
Today has been one of the best days of my life and I got to spend it with Elsa which made it even better. We had a snowball fight, made snow angels, and made several snowmen and it was so much fun because this is the longest that I've been outside since I could remember. The time that I've spent with the college student has been wonderful and I don't ever want it to end. She hasn't made me feel like I'm an animal or hit me because she felt it or angry about something and I just happened to be there.
Elsa has been so kind and gentle to me and doesn't pull on my ears like my previous master did. The college student feeds me three times a day plays with me even she's tired from her classes and even reads me stories that she's written. I never knew that she was just a talented writer and I never want to leave her. Me, Elsa, Sven and Kristoff was sitting in a café after it started getting too cold outside and they thought it would be a good idea to get something warm to drink.
The mute comes from the counter with a cup container of drinks before handing them to all of us. I take a sniff of it and it smells like chocolate. Oh my gosh! It's chocolate! I took of a sip of the drink and nearly burnt my tongue causing everyone to laugh at me as I tried to burning sensation.
"Careful Anna, it's hot" Elsa said giggling.
'It's a little late to tell her that now, dontcha think?' Sven said chuckling.
"It hurts but it tastes so good" I said with my tongue hanging out of my mouth.
"I know it does but try not to burn your tongue again" Elsa said smiling.
"Okay" I said blowing on the hot liquid.
The hot chocolate is more enjoyable now that it's not burning my tongue as I listen to the college students talk about getting jobs and an apartment. I know that Elsa is risking a lot by letting me stay with her in her dorm room and could get into serious trouble if I'm discovered. I want to help her in any way that I can but I don't know why. Maybe if I could get a job then maybe it could help in some way and I wouldn't be a burden on the college student but what kind of job could I get. I don't know how to do a lot of things and I don't know if anyone will be willingly to hire a neko.
"Anna?"
"Yes" I asked snapping out of my thoughts.
"Are you okay? You seem distracted" Elsa said concerned.
"It's nothing" I said shaking my head.
"Come on Anna, you're thinking about something" Kristoff said sipping on his drink.
'You can tell us' Sven said smiling kindly.
"I'm a burden on you guys? You are risking a lot by hiding me especially you, Elsa" I said looking down at my lap.
"You're not a burden" Elsa and Kristoff said at the same time. 'Yeah, what they said' Sven said frowning slightly.
"But Elsa, you could get kicked out of school if the RA finds me in your dorm and I don't know what will happen to Kristoff and Sven for helping. I don't want anyone getting in trouble for me" I said shaking my head.
"Anna, that's why we're looking for jobs and an apartment so we can move out of the dorms so we won't get caught" Elsa said wrapping her arm around my shoulders.
"Yeah, we're friends and we got each other's back" Kristoff said smiling.
'No one is going to split us apart if I don't have anything to say about it' Sven said determinedly.
I look at the college students and I can see that they are serious about this, making me thankful that I found people that cares so much about me. They barely know anything about me yet so willingly to make sure that I'm safe and for the first time in my life I truly do feel safe. I know that they wouldn't do anything to hurt like my last master has done so many times.
"Then I should get a job as well. I want to pull my own weight and not be a burden" I replied.
"You don't have to, Anna"
"I should. You have done so much for me Elsa and I want to help you in any way that I can. Please let me do this" I said pouting.
Elsa stares at me for a second before her cheeks turn a light pink shade and the guys chuckle at us. She glares at them before the other college students yelped in pain. Elsa agrees to let me get a job but wants to check out herself first in case if it's okay for me to work there. I'm excited about this because I'm able to help the college student and wrap my arms around her waist before nuzzling her neck with my face. Kristoff and Sven started making whipping noises at us before yelping in pain again.
We spent a little more time at the café before leaving and heading towards the dorms where the writer stops in mid stride causing me to walk into her back. I looked around her to see that it's Belle and she's talking someone but I couldn't tell who they are since their back is facing us. I don't like the med student because she's always angry with Elsa for no reason. I might not know the details of their relationship but I don't think it's going to last very long with the older girl picking fights with her girlfriend.
The writer is a good person and doesn't deserve to be yelled like Belle has been doing with her. Whoever she's talking to decides to get up and walk out the other end of the restaurant. The med student looks up see that we're not too far away before glaring at us then getting up. She gets up and walked out of the restaurant towards us.
"What is she doing here?" Belle asked glaring at me.
"I thought it would be a good idea for her to get some fresh air since she's been cooped up in my dorm room" Elsa replied.
"Elsa, I think we should send her back to where she came from. I'm sure that someone is out there looking for her" Belle said frowning.
"Belle, I can't send her back and you know that. Whoever's looking for her is going to hurt worse than they already have" Elsa said frowning.
I hid partially behind Elsa because of what Belle has said and how she's looking at me. I don't understand why she doesn't like since I haven't done anything to her to warrant how she's behaving. I'm scared of old master finding me and forcing me to return to that god awful place to whatever he wants to me. I know that it'll be worse than before and I don't wanna go back to that, I can't go back.
"I don't know what's wrong with you but I don't want to know" Elsa said taking my hand in hers.
"Don't walk away from me, Elsa" Belle said frowning.
"Too bad because that's what I'm doing. Come find me once you stop with what's going with you" Elsa said walking away.
We walked away in silence and I can tell that she's upset with what happened. Her posture is subtly tense and rigid with her grip on my hand is a little tighter than what it's normally like. I want to say something to make her feel better but I don't know what to say because it feels like what happened with the med school is my fault. What am I talking about? It is my fault. I'm driving a wedge between them. I have to make this right.
