A FURRY PROBLEM

CH 2 ' ' thoughts " " speech

Paton and Charlie were up in Paton's room that was filled with books trying to find a way to hide Charlie's ears and tail. "What about my wand. Can't it make these things disappear?" asked Charlie gesturing to his ears and tail. " No. There is no Welsh word for disappear or any of the like. If there was I would have asked you to disappear my sisters a long time ago." answered Paton. Charlie's ears folded back in disappointment and his tail curled around his leg. "Wait do that again." said Paton with a excited look on his face. Charlie confused pushed his ears back and raped his tail around his leg. "YES!" shouted Paton knocking down some books as he jumped up. " If you can just keep them like that then maybe we can hide them." "what?" asked Charlie. "You hair covers you ears when their back and you pants leg can cover your tail." said Paton like it was obvious and it was. "Great now all I have to remember is to flatten my ears every hour of every day and try to not to sit on my tail." said Charlie sarcastically. " well its all we got so we have to make do. Now lets see what other side affects you being part cat has." said uncle Paton looking kind of crazy. Charlie started to get scared and wondered if he should make a run for it. But he wondered to late.

Monday

Charlie got up and got dressed in a short amount of time. He wanted to get out of there before the bitchy rat I mean grandma Bone woke up and who could blame him. He made his bed and grabbed his blue cape. Remembering to tuck his ears back and his tail inside his pants. It was really uncomfortable. He ran down the stairs hoping that he could get some cereal. Just as he got a bowl grandma Bone walked in. She glared at him said nothing and got herself some breakfast. It was silent during breakfast " Bye Grandma Bone" said Charlie as he ran throw the door and to the bus stop he ran so fast he didn't hear a reply. At Bloor's Academy everything was in full bloom, the birds were sing, kids were laughing and talking before the bell rang outside. Charlie soon found his friends Billy, Lysander, Gabriel, Emma, Tancred, and Olivia standing by a tree. "guys I need to talk to you." whispered Charlie. The others nodded and fallowed Charlie to a spot near the ruins out of everyone's sight. Charlie told them every thing that had changed about him. And by the time he was done Tancred started to laugh Charlie frowned at him. " Nice joke Charlie ha cat ears coming out of your head right." Tancred rolled his eyes. Then a sound came to Charlie's ears and he couldn't stop the cat ears from popping up and listening. It was just a bird thought Charlie as he looked around. The he realized that the others were staring at him with eyes so big they look like they were about to pop out of their head. One of his ears twitched in annoyance Lysander said "Crap they are real."

Emma and Olivia walked towered him stopped right in front of him and reached for his ears. Charlie jerked back and whispered harshly "Don't touch my ears. My mom, Maisie, and Paton kept coming up to me to touch my ears and some times my tail." Emma and Olivia looked down disappointed Charlie sighed and leaned down his head. Emma and Olivia squealed and started to touch his ears. Then some thing weird happed Charlie started to purr. They stopped rubbing his ears and stared at him " what" said Charlie "you were purring" stated Gabriel "oh well the part cat thing has some side affects like I purr, hiss, my hearing is really good, so is my sense of smell, I like milk, eggs, cream and other dairy products and meat products more, I like string and shiny things and maybe others." stated Charlie right back. "Do you still like water?" asked Lysander "Yes I still like water I'm only half cat." Charlie said like it was the most obvious thing in the world then he wondered ." Hey Billy could you understand me when I was purring?" asked Charlie " No you only half cat as you said and I can only hear full blooded animals." answered Billy. Then the bell rang it was time for the pain of annoying teachers and others breathing down your neck. So the walked into the building as they where turning around the corner Charlie pushed down his ears. And prayed that no one saw. But as they passed Asa his eyes were wide and he was smirking he leaned down so only Charlie could hear "nice ears Bone" Charlie hurried by and didn't look back hoping that Asa wouldn't tell anyone.

Asa view

No one know that my kind have a mate one mate in a lifetime. I have been trying to find them by smell because that is how my animal tell my how to find my mate. Before today I had a dream about the animal I become at night. He told me how to find my mate. I could always hear my animal. Some things I learned was that my kind can't harm their mates and that they a protective of what they think is theirs. So I was standing by the door waiting for the bell to ring looking for some one who could be my mate so far no luck. Then the bell ranged and I saw Bone and friends coming around the corner. 'Wait WHAT THE HELL WAS ON BONE'S HEAD cat ears?' I thought. As Bone passed I leaned down and whispered low for only Bone to hear " Nice ears Bone." as he passed I thought 'Bone smelled nice wait WHAT Bone dose not smell nice' shaking my head I headed for my first class.
