Story 122: So Called Cat

A sequel to So Called Santa Claus, So Called Tooth Fairy, and So Called Easter Bunny.

Two men were running after a woman in a park. The woman was running really fast. The two men had knives. The woman ran into an alleyway and ended up in a dead end. One of the men walked towards her with the knife. The other man was laughing historically. Then they both started stabbing her multiple times with their knives. The woman screamed loudly in pain. Then she died.

Seto closed the book he was reading. The book was called 'Death' by 'Death'. It was a book about killing. There was suddenly a knock on the front door. Seto sets the book down on a glass table and stood up. He walks over to the front door and opens it. Mokuba was standing there with a big box in his hands.

"Hi Seto! I'm back!" Mokuba exclaimed as he walked into the house.

Seto closes the front door. Mokuba sets the box down on the floor.

"What is that?" Seto asked.

"It's a present for you," Mokuba replied joyously. "Come on and open it,"

Seto frowned. He kneels down beside the box and starts opening it. His eyes widened when he realized what was in the box. It was a black cat. The cat didn't look like any ordinary cat. It looked more like a small bear or a dog. Seto looked at Mokuba.

"Mokuba, what is this?" Seto demanded in a cross tone.

Mokuba almost laughed. "It's a cat! I got it so when you get bored you'll have someone to play with!"

Seto looked at the cat. It was staring right at him with its big blood red eyes. It almost looked as if it was glaring at him. The look that cat was giving him was freaking him out.

"Get rid of it," Seto said coldly.

Mokuba looked disappointed. "But why?"

"I don't like it. And it's also very hideous," Seto replied turning away from the cat's stare.

"Fine…" Mokuba whispered. He starts closing the box up, sadly. He looked really depressed.

Seto felt bad for him. Then he thought that he could just keep the cat for just a little while. Just to make Mokuba happy. "Never mind, Mokuba, I'll keep it,"

Mokuba's face brightened. "Awesome!" he opens the box back up. The cat jumped out of the box quickly and stared at Seto. Seto glared at the cat. It looked as if the cat just smirked at him. "Well, aren't you going to name it, Seto?" Mokuba asked.

Seto thought for a moment. "Hideous. I'll name that thing, Hideous,"

Mokuba nodded slowly.

Later, it was dark out; Seto was sitting on his bed in his room reading that book he was reading earlier. He didn't bother playing with that so called cat Mokuba gave him. It was too ugly, too disturbing to look at. So Seto had locked the cat outside of his room. Seto suddenly heard a scratching noise outside his door. Stupid cat. Seto thought. He shook his head and continued reading his book. After a while of reading, Seto closed his book and turned out his light. Then he closes his eyes to go to sleep. There was another scratching noise and Seto thought he heard his door open. He sits up in his bed and sees that his door is shut. He shakes his head and lies back down. Then he hears a growling noise. Seto quickly turns on his light. The cat was sitting on his bedside staring at him.

"How did you get in here, Hideous?" Seto demanded.

The cat just stared at him with a somewhat grin on its face. Seto raises his eyebrows in surprise. The cat opened its mouth to show rows and rows of sharp teeth. Seto frowned at the cat and pushed it off of his bed. The cat started growling loudly like a bear. Seto got out of his bed.

"You stop that growling, you stupid cat!" Seto shouts.

The cat started hissing loudly at Seto. He kicks the cat. The cat didn't move nor did it show any sign of pain. The cat suddenly jumped on Seto's face.

"Ahhhhh!" Seto shouted as he tried to get the cat off. He pulls the cat off of his face and he throws it at the wall. The cat hit the wall and fell to the ground. It stayed on the ground. Seto slowly approached the cat and stared at it. He realized that the cat looked a lot like a plastic toy. "Mokuba!"

Mokuba suddenly came running into the room. "What's going on, Seto?"

Seto pointed at the toy cat angrily. "What is the meaning of this?"

Mokuba looked closely at the toy cat and gasped. "It's fake?"

"Where did you get this cat, Mokuba?" Seto demanded.

"I got it from Marik's pet store," Mokuba replied. "He said that it was a very rare cat from a fairytale book called 'Fairy Cat',"

"Mokuba, I told you a thousand times about these fairytales! Stop believing in them!" Seto shouted.

Mokuba nodded quickly.
