I woke up, stretching a little, nuzzling against Chara.

She held me, scratching my ears.

"So, what're we gonna do today?" I asked her.

"Well" Chara said. "I was gonna swing by Muffet's and grab that cider."

"Okay, do you want me to stay here?" I asked.

"Yeah." Chara said. "It would be better. I don't want you getting hurt."

"Awww… okay." I said, crossing my toes, nuzzling against her.

"Good." She said, kissing me.

I kissed her back, waiting until she left until I went invisible and intangible, following her.

I floated behind Chara into the store, feeling something try to cut off my magic but I resisted.

Chara walked into the store, getting a cider from Indie and walking out.

I floated into the back, phasing through the wall and looking around. The back was bigger then what the building itself led to believe, it pratically being a warehouse back here, Muffet sitting at a office desk and working on something, crates, presumably filled with cider, everywhere.

She didn't seem to notice me, still working.

Suddenly, I felt a, much stronger, force cut me off from my magic before I could react, me yelping in surprise as I fell to the floor.

"Well well well" came the voice of Muffet standing behind me. "Look what we have here. A cat burglar."

I froze, slowly turning to the spider monster, ears down as I took a couple steps back.

"Nice try, dearie." She said, grabbing my arms. "You're not getting away that easily."

I whimpered in fear, trying to fight against what was blocking my magic, bot not able to concentrate enough through my fear.

"I don't have time to deal with you right now." Muffet said, sighing. "I guess I'll just keep you here until I figure out a proper way to...dispose of you."

I whimpered in fear, shaking.

"Need to keep you quiet." Muffet said, using two of her arms to pin my arms while two more bound them with webs. She continued on my legs and then covered my mouth with the webbing.

I yelled in my bonds, eyes wide and fearful, struggling.

"Don't bother." She said, chuckling. "No one can hear you in here."

I whimpered in fear, crying now.

"Save it." Muffet said, dragging me by the bonds holding my arms over to a closet looking thing.

I cried as she put me in it, closing it and leaving me in there.

INDIE POV

"Well, today's been a little slow." I idly commented.

"What was that dearie?" Muffet asked, coming out of the back, looking a little sweaty.

"Nothing, just it's a slow day today, I only made 30k so far." I said, winking my third eye. "You okay? You're sweating." I asked, concern leaking into my voice.

"It's pretty warm in the back." She said, waving her hand in front of her face. "I think I need to adjust the ac."

"Here, let me." I said, using my magic to cool her down a little.

"Thanks, dearie." Muffet said. "I'll fix the air later."

"No problem." I state, smirking. A couple hours later, I was just about to leave, when I heard running.

Chara burst through the door, Frisk with her.

"Whoa, where's the fire?" I asked, eyes wide.

"Up your ass if you don't tell me where my girlfriend is.' Chara said, yanking me to her face by my collar.

"W-why would I know where Rara is?" I asked, confused and a little startled.

"I came in here to get a cider." Chara said. "But, when I got back, Rara wasn't there. I came to Frisk and she said that Rara would probably have snuck in here to investigate."

"Well… that's a hell of a assumption." I started.

"I'll give you hell if you don't tell me where Rara is." Chara said, growling.

"I, don't know." I said.

"If I find out you're lying" Chara said in a very chilling tone. "Your girlfriend won't save you from what I do to you."

"I promise that I don't, but I can let you into the back to see Muffet, you still have the appointment." I told her.

"Fine." Chara said, releasing me. "You get to it."

I walked to the back door, knocking on it loudly.

"Is there a problem, dearie?" Muffet asked.

"Charas here for that appointment." I told her.

"Uh, sorry, dearie." She said quickly. "I can't take appointments at the moment. I'm too busy. Later, I'll have more free time."

"I don't think that's something I should tell her, she's kinda mad." I said.

"Well" Muffet said. "She can't just barge in. That's informal."

"I don't think she cares." I told her, looking back and seeing Chara's face, looking back to Muffet with a little panic on mine.

Chara kicked down the door, barging in.

I quickly dodged out of the of the door, pulling Muffet with me.

"You probably shouldn't leave." Frisk whispered to me. "I don't think she's gonna stop until she's either torn the place apart looking for Rara or found her."

"Well, I'm gonna need a new job after this." I said, sighing.

"Don't worry dearie." Muffet said. "You couldn't have stopped her anyway."

"Thanks." I said, smiling.

"You're welcome, dearie." She said.

"Find anything, Chara?" I called out.

"No." Chara said, storming out. "It's fine. I'm not apologizing though. My girlfriend's still missing."

"Might you try her favorite places?" Muffet suggested.

"Yeah.' Chara said. "Come on, Frisk."

As they left, I thought I heard some rattling coming from a closet, turning to it curiously.

"What is it dearie?" Muffet asked, curious at my action.

"I thought I heard something from that closet." I told her, pointing to it.

"Oh, that's where the air comes in." Muffet said, waving her hand at it. "Here, I'll show you.'

She walked over and opened the closet, revealing a pipe that had rattling coming from it.

"That's why the air isn't working so well, dearie." Muffet said.

"Oh, want me to fix it?" I asked.

"No" Muffet said. "This is one job I'd prefer to do myself. It's a satisfaction thing, dearie."

"Sure, more laziness for me then." I said, shrugging with a wink. "See ya tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, dearie." Muffet said, chuckling. "Oh, by the way, next week you'll have to take your immunity shots. You'll do it in here so you won't have to remember."

"Gotcha." I state, nodding as I left, teleporting home.

At home, Chara was on the couch, crying. Frisk was rubbing her back trying to comfort her.

"So… no luck?" I asked, standing near them awkwardly.

"No." Frisk said, shaking her head.

"I'm sure you'll find her." I assured. "It might just take a while, where's that DETERMINATION you're known for?"

"It's moved over for the tears." Chara said. "I promised her I wouldn't let her get hurt. Now she's gone."

*Hearing how sad one of your friends is fills you with DETERMINATION

I heard the voice of my creator say that, all three eyes flashing red as I got a DETERMINED look on my face, them noticing.

"What's up with you?" Frisk asked.

I didn't answer, turning around and walking to the door, purpose in my steps.

"Where are you going?" Frisk asked.

"To do something." I replied, leaving the house.

"What?" Frisk asked.

"I'll tell ya later." I said, vanishing. I appeared in Grillbys, walking up to the bar.

"Morning, Indie." Grillby said. "Do you happen to know where Rara and Frisk are? They're supposed to be here. Oh, that's right, Frisk asked for the day off."

"Raras missing, I was wondering if you had any… candidates that I could… visit." I told him, sitting at the bar.

"Candidates?" Grillby asked. "Well, she's always with Frisk and Chara. Mostly Chara, though. Maybe the other monsters that live around the place. She loves Toriel's cooking."

"No, Grillby, I mean…" I started, eyes going dark. "Candidates."

"Ah." Grillby said, nodding. "Well, I don't have any of those. Sorry to disappoint. You need to stop hanging around Sans if he's rubbing off that much on you. Also, about your little drink a few days ago..."

"I misunderstood what he meant about that." I mumbled, blushing in embarrassment.

"It's not that." Grillby said. "It's illegal for you to drink at your age. I didn't say anything since I know you had no idea what Sans meant when he said to get it. I've also told him to not have you grab his ketchup."

"Yeah… well, while I'm here, can I have normal ketchup?" I asked.

"Sure." Grillby said, getting me some.

"Thanks." I said, putting some money on the bar and leaving, drinking the ketchup as I left. "Now, how to find Rara." I muttered.

After a while, I decided to just follow her SOULs trail, it leading me to Muffets, me going through the door by phasing and into the back, carefully searching around the place.

"Late night to be here, dearie." Muffet said, sitting behind me at her desk, working on paperwork. "I don't remember giving you keys though. Though, that is something I need to do. Unfortunately, I left my employee set at home, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow. I'd prefer you to use them to get in, please, dearie."

"I sensed Raras energy trail end here." I said bluntly, all three eyes red with DETERMINATION as I turned to look at her.

"Which one is Rara?" Muffet asked. "Isn't that Chara's girlfriend?"

"Yes." I told her, nodding.

"Ah." Muffet said. "The one she said she almost killed supposedly due to the cider. Well, don't get all angry at me dearie. I've been in the back all day. Well, except when dragged out, but you get the idea."

I gave the back one last look, seeing through things, before my eyes went back to white pinpricks, smiling at Muffet. "Sorry, guess she teleported or something, I don't see anything… while I'm here, ya need anything boss?" I asked.

"Nope." She said. "All good here, dearie. Besides, this paperwork is for me. You go on home. We're closed now anyway."

"See ya tomorrow boss." I said, teleporting out, appearing on the top of the building and giving the surrounding area one last good look, seeing nothing, teleporting back to the house.

"See you tomorrow, dearie." She said just before I teleported.

RARA POV

I shook in fear, in some small cage, on my stomach as I fearfully jumped at every sound. I whimpered, sobbing as I heard a door open followed by footsteps, shuffling as far away from it as I could.

"What's wrong, dearie?" came Muffet's voice, taunting. "Too cold for you?"

I whimpered in fear, shaking.

"You should be a little quieter, dearie.' Muffet said, kneeling down next to me, cupping my chin in her hand. "It's rude to make noises at night when others are trying to sleep."

I flinched away from her, trembling in fear, ears down.

"Oh, don't be so scared, dearie." She said, chuckling, grabbing my hair and pulling me over to her. "You're gonna be here a long time, so get used to it."

I whimpered again, yelping in pain as she still held my hair, squirming.

"Hurts, huh?" Muffet asked, grinning sinisterly. "I figured you'd be used to a little pain, considering your girlfriend and all."

I shook in fear, eyes closed, shaking terribly.

"I wouldn't do that too much if I were you.' She said. "I'd hate to have to use some… unpleasant methods on you to make you more peaceful.'

I immediately stopped, looking at her fearfully.

"That's better." She said, grinning. "Now, I'll leave you to your cage. But, since you were sweating so much earlier, I figured I'd turn on some air to cool you off."

I shivered, feeling the cold.

"Doesn't seem to be cold enough." Muffet said, looking at the thermostat. "Here you go, dearie, I'll turn it down some more for you."

I shook my head no, voice muffled.

"Oh, don't worry.' Muffet said, giggling. "It's for your 'comfort'. I'll be back to check up on you later, dearie. Bye bye, kittysicle."

She turned it down as low as it could go, stepping out of the room and locking the door.

I could feel the cold slowly grow worse, shivering as it got below freezing, my skin turning blue, whimpering in pain as frostbite set in a couple hours later.

"I'm back, dearie." Muffet said, entering the room. "My my, you seem chilled. I must have turned the air on too low. Silly me. Let me help you with that."

She turned the thermostat up as high as it would go this time, pouring some hot water on me.

I yelped in pain, whimpered and crying.

"Don't worry, dearie." She said, giggling again. "It won't feel so bad once the heat kicks in. But, until then, have some more."

She poured more on me, this time directly on my skin, both exposed and under my clothes. I screamed in pain through my gag, whimpering and squirming.

"Oh, don't worry, dearie." Muffet said, giggling at my screams. "I just gotta make sure I get every bit of you."

I looked at her, pleading her with my eyes for this all to just stop.

"Oh" Muffet said, looking up. "Looks like the heat's coming on. I better give you something just in case.

She then stuffed two large bags of ice down the front and back of my shirt, giggling as she left, locking the door back.

I whimpered, sweating as the heat went up, squirming in pain as the cold magic ice hurt me when I was too hot a couple more hours later, struggling until I went limp, staring blankly at the ceiling of the cage.

"Well well" Muffet said, coming in, giggling as she regulated the room temperature. "Looks like the kitty's all broken. Huh. I've always wanted a pet. I guess wishes do come true."

I continued to stare at the roof of my cage blankly.

"Well, I guess you're no problem now." She said, opening the cage, which had become touchable. She pulled me out, untying me and ungagging me.

I stared blankly at her, mewling quietly, ears down, looking scared.

"Need to get these clothes off of you." She said, thinking. "They're all soaked."

I whimpered, on all fours, moving back mewling in fright, still blank eyed.

"Don't worry, little kitty." Muffet said softly, extending a hand to me. "I won't hurt you. Come here so I can get you dried off, okay?"

I mewled curiously, tilting my head, hesitantly coming closer to her.

"There we go." She said, stroking my face when she had reached me. "That's a good kitty."

I mewled, leaning into the nice touch, my body craving pleasure, eyes still blank.

"Good kitty.' Muffet said, smiling. "Now, let's get these clothes off, okay?"

I mewled confusedly, tilting my head.

"Don't worry." Muffet said, stroking my face. "I'll handle that."

I leaned into the stokes, mewling happily.

She took my clothes off, struggling due to the fact that it's hard to take clothes off of someone on all fours. After she was done, she tossed them into the nearby furnace.

I mewled confusedly when she was done, starting to lick myself clean, running on pure cat instincts.

"Good little kitty." Muffet said, scratching my ears.

I purred happily, leaning into the scratches, the look on my face adorable, though less so because of my blank eyes.

"You're very cute, little kitty." Muffet said, giggling. "But, there's something else you don't need."

She took off my collar, throwing it into the furnace too.

"There we go." She said. "Now, let's put this one on."

She put on another collar onto me that said 'Niki' on it.

"There we go." She said, scratching my ears again. "Now, you're only my kitty."

I mewled, nuzzling her hand as she scratched my ears.

She giggled, pulling me up and wrapping her arms around me.

I mewled, nuzzling her, eyes blank as my tail waved behind me.

"Need to get you some clothes." She said, thinking. "Oh, I know."

I mewled, tilting my head curiously.

"Come with me, kitty." Muffet said, getting up, attaching a leash to my collar as she walked out of the room, gently pulling me to go along.

I followed her, right next to her and slightly behind her, easily walking on my paws.

She led me to her room, stopping.

I sat down when she stopped, mewling, sitting kind of like a frog.

"Cute kitty." Muffet said, petting me.

I purred, leaning into her hand.

"Now, for your clothes." She said, pulling out a pair of leopard print lingerie, putting them on me.

I mewled in confusing, pawing at the underwear.

"No, little kitty.' Muffet said, shaking her head. "Leave that alone. That's for you to wear."

I tilting my head in confusion, but stopped, mewling as I walked forward, rubbing against her legs like a cat.

She giggled, sitting down, putting me on her lap. I put my paws on her chest, looking up at her adorably and mewling, blinking cutely with my blank eyes.

She stroked my hair, touching my nose with her finger.

I mewled, scrunching my face up, my blank eyes going cross to look at my nose.

She laughed, kissing my nose.

This only made me mewl again, scrunching my face up more.

"You're so cute, Niki." She said, scratching my head, "But, I have to go to work, so you'll have to stay here, okay?"

I mewled, ears lowering in fear, nuzzling her.

"What's wrong, Niki?" She asked, stroking me. "Do you not want to stay here alone. I've got an idea."

She put me on her bed, pulling the covers around me like a cat bed.

"There you go, Niki.' She said, giggling. "You take a little catnap and mommy'll be back soon, okay?"

I mewled in fear, but kneaded the improvised cat bed, curling up.

"Don't worry." Muffet said, reaching into the chest at the end of the bed. "Here's a little friend for you."

She pulled out a kitty doll, putting it next to me.

I picked it up with my mouth, curling around it protectively, purring and nuzzling it.

"So cute." Muffet said, kissing my forehead. "Well, I'll see you later, Niki."

She left us alone, closing the door and turning off the light.

Indie POV:

"Bye Frisk." I said, 'kissing' her forehead.

"Bye, Indie." Frisk said, kissing mine. "I'll be at work in an hour, so if you go over for lunch, I'll be there."

"Okay." I said, nodding as I started to head out.

On my way out, I noticed Chara passed out on the couch.

I heard her actually whimper, so I walked over to her, a little worried.

She grabbed me in her sleep, rubbing my back and scratching the top of my head.

"Well, I have to get to work, but you seem kinda messed up." I thought to myself, making a note appear at Muffets that said I'd be a little late.

She held me, trying to calm 'me' from a nightmare.

I just let her, sitting next to her on the couch.

She just held me, stroking my face, kissing my forehead.

Getting an idea, I snapped my fingers, making the kitty doll Rara had appear in my place in Charas arms, me appearing a couple feet away.

She held it, doing to it what she had done to me.

I sighed in relief, going outside and teleporting to work.

"Morning, dearie." Muffet said from behind the counter, yawning.

"Morning, you seem more tired than usual boss." I said, snapping my fingers and making a cup of coffee appear in my hand. "Coffee?"

"Thanks, dearie." She said, downing it. "Paperwork kept me up almost all night. Oh, by the way, here's your keys."

She tossed me a set of keys.

"These open everything except my office.' She said. "Need my privacy, you know, dearie."

"Yeah." I said nodding, taking the keys and putting them in my pockets. "Well, I'll get to standing here for a couple hours and taking peoples money."

"You go ahead, dearie." She said, chuckling. "You know, if you worked at almost any other kind of job, it'd be robbery."

"Meh, the other jobs don't know what their missing, I'm just that great at this one." I said, shrugging.

"Yeah." Muffet said, crossing her arms and chuckling again. "Well, have fun with your 'extortion'. I'll be working on more paperwork."

"Have fun with that." I said, snapping my fingers and making my chair appear. "And now I sit for hours."

"Have fun with that." She said, going into the back.

Back to Rara ;p

I was licking my little kitty toy clean, eyes still blank.

"Niki!" Called Muffet's voice. "I'm home."

I mewled happily, picking the little cat in my mouth and bringing it with me as I 'walked' over to her, mewling.

"Hello, little kitty." She said, scratching my ears.

I mewled, smiling and leaning into the scratches.

"Good kitty" She said, smiling. "Guess what. I got you a surprise."

I mewled curiously, dropping the toy by my feet and tilting my head at her.

"Here you go, Niki.' She said, pulling out a package of fish. "That's your dinner for tonight."

I mewled happily, digging into the fish.

"You sure enjoy that." Muffet said, petting me.

I leaned into the hand slightly as I grabbed one last fish, holding it in my mouth and looking up at her adorably, mewling.

"So cute." She said, scratching my ears and laughing.

I ate the fish, leaning into her hand and purring, empty eyes closed.

"Good kitty." She said, smiling. "I'm going to sleep, but, you're welcome to join me if you want."

I mewled, picking up the toy at my feet and getting ready to follow her.

"Alright then." She said, heading into her room and getting into her bed. "You can sleep in my bed with me if you want."

I leaped into the bed, mewling as I dropped the turn, wrapping around it protectively, nuzzling against her and it.

She stroked me, pulling the covers above us.

I mewled tiredly, leaning into her, falling asleep.

She put three of her arms over me, falling asleep as well.

Indie again!

"So, when did Alph say that sample you guys got for her would be done being scanned?" I asked Frisk, sitting at a booth.

"Not sure." Frisk said. "She said it would take a while since the cider's kinda thick, which messes with her instruments."

"Wanna go check?" I asked. "I know a shortcut."

"Sure." Frisk said, nodding.

I took her hand, leading her to the back and teleporting us to right outside Alphys place.

"Wow." Frisk said. "That's fast."

"Great shortcut, huh?" I asked, smirking and knocking on the door, not noticing I was still holding her hand.

"Who is it?" the voice come from the other side.

"Frisk wanted to check on the sample from Muffets." I said.

"Well" Alphys said, opening the door. "It's still going. That stuff is pretty thick."

"I'm inpatient, here." I said, snapping my fingers, speeding up time around the devices she was using, making it normal when they were done.

"Well" she said. "It looks like it's done."

"So, what's in it?" I asked.

"Hold on." Alphys said, scanning the list.

"Hmm.' She said. "It seems that this has a derivitive of Noctus-5."

"What's that?" I asked curiously.

"It's a drug." Alphys said. "It causes those that intake it to both lose their inhibitions and extremify their personalities."

"What do you think, Frisk, that sound like what happened to Chara?" I asked.

"Yeah." Frisk said. "Definitely. So, she wasn't wrong. And, the one you gave her as proof must have not had it in it. Surprising she could tell the difference."

"Well." I started, eyes going red. "Let's pay my boss a visit, shall we?"

"Yeah.' Frisk said, nodding. "Let's."

I teleported us to Muffets, spartan kicking the door in.

"Nice one." Frisk said, impressed.

"I try." I commented, walking inside with her.

"So" Frisk said. "Where's Muffet? The thing also is that she may not have taken Rara. Not that I believe that, but it's a possibility."

"Well, I sense her here, so…" I trailed off, shrugging as we heard a door open upstairs.

"What's going on down there?" Muffet's voice came.

"Nothing, boss, we just found out what's in your drinks." I said from behind her, having teleported there.

"Well, that's no secret, dearie.' Muffet said. "It's spiders."

"And Noctus-5." I added, smiling, though it was obviously fake.

"Noctus-5?" Muffet asked. "What is that, dearie?"

"A drug that makes people lose inhibitions and extremify their personalities." I told her.

"Oh, really?" Muffet said, intrigued. "That kind of explains Chara's behaviour."

"It was in your Cider." I continued.

"Really now?" Muffet asked. "Well, I'll have to talk to the spiders about that."

"So… it wasn't you?" I asked confusedly, before shaking my head. "Whatever, where's Rara?"

"Dearie" Muffet said. "Do you really think I can make five hundred plus gallons in a single day and still fill out paperwork? I mean, I do make cider, but the majority of it is from the spiders."

"You didn't answer the other question." I said, subtly shifting my third eye to yellow.

"Your first question was in need of an answer, dearie." Muffet said, shrugging. "As for your friend, I haven't seen her. If she's been gone this long, you should probably search outside this town and look around other places."

"Nice try, but I can hear your lie." I told her, smirking. "Plus I sense her in here."

"Lie?" Muffet asked, sounding a little hurt. "That's a hefty accusation. There's no Rara here."

"The yellow eye is JUSTICE, it see's through your lies, 'boss'."

"I assure you, dearie." Muffet said. "There's no-one named Rara here."

"It see's half truths to." I said un-amusedly, walking over to the door I heard open earlier.

"I'm pretty sure you should ask before entering my bedroom, dearie." Muffet said, chuckling as a thought entered her head. "I mean, if this is one of your kinks, sleeping with your girlfriend in someone else's bed, that's fine for you."

I blushed, not looking at the two as I went into her room anyway, looking around with my eyes flashing different colors.

"Don't worry, dearie." Muffet said, patting my head. "I was just joking. You can't use my bed."

I latching a skeletal hand out, grabbing her throat. "So, no 'Rara' here, huh?" I asked, opening the closet, revealing her sleeping form… and blushing more at how little she's wearing.

"That's my kitty, Niki.' Muffet said, coughing. "Isn't she cute?"

"That is literally Rara with a different name and collar." I deadpanned.

"You've never heard the saying of people always have a 'double'?" Muffet asked. "Well, this little kitty's so cute and friendly."

"If I couldn't see that she has the exact same SOUL and energy as Rara, I might've believed you." I deadpanned.

"Well, don't wake her up, dearie." Muffet said. "She's tired after a long day of playing.'

It was too late, Rara waking up and mewling, staring at us with blank eyes and tilting her head curiously.

"Oh, now you woke her up." Muffet said, kneeling down and scratching her ears. "Morning, sleepy kitty."

She purred, leaning into the hand.

"Seems you're ready for the day, right, Niki?" Muffet said, pulling her onto her lap and petting her.

She mewled, ears down and purring.

"That's Rara." I deadpanned, being proven right when the kitty looked at me curiously.

"This is Niki." She said, stroking her. "She's a very curious kitty, aren't you?"

She mewled, rubbing against Muffet.

"If I didn't know Rara both from having had sex with her and Chara and also having known her a lot of my life" Frisk muttered to me. "I'd have believed her."

"Sex with both Chara and her girlfriend?" Muffet asked, giggling, then speaking to me. "Careful, dearie, your girlfriend's been sleeping around."

I blushed more, snapping my fingers and replacing Rara with a very accurate duplicate, taking the kitty toy subtly.

Muffet continued stroking the duplicate.

I winked at Frisk, smirking. "Well, I'll leave you to your Kitty boss, tell the spiders no more of that stuff okay?" I asked.

"Alright, dearie." Muffet said, scratching the duplicate.

I smirked, teleporting me and Frisk just outside the house. "Mission accomplished." I told her, making a, now asleep, Rara appear with her toy and a new version of her old collar on, her holding a toy in the carry on cage I put her in.

"That was actually quick.' Frisk said, impressed. "I'm surprised it went like that."

"Yeah, me to… wanna surprise Chara?" I asked, smirking.

"How?" Frisk asked, curious.

"Pretend we got her a new 'pet'." I said, smirking.

"That sounds fun." Frisk said, giggling.

"Chara!" I called as we entered the house, hiding the cage behind me.

"Yeah?" Chara called back.

"We felt bad that we couldn't find Rara for ya, so we got you something!" I said, winking to Frisk.

"What is it?" Chara asked.

"Come see." I told her, putting the cage on the ground, it being the kind that only had bars for the door.

"Okay." She said, coming down the stairs and seeing the cage.

"What's in the cage?" She asked.

"You'll see." I said, waking Rara up.

RARA POV

I woke up, slightly confused, in a small space, my little kitty toy in my mouth when I picked it up, feeling what I was in be settled on the ground.

"So" a voice came. "What's in the cage?"

I mewled in fear, ears down as I nervously went to the front of the cage.

I saw someone kneel down in front of the cage, opening the door.

I immediately shrank back, mewling in fear.

"It's okay" the voice said. "Come on out. I won't hurt you.'

I nerveously and shakily started to come out.

"Don't worry, little one." A woman said, stroking me. "It's me, Chara."

I mewled, leaning into the stokes and rubbing against her.

"I'm so glad to see you again.' She said, hugging me.

I mewled in confusion, tilting my head at her.

"Don't you recognize me?" She asked, looking at me. She then noticed my blank eyes. "Rara… What happened to you?"

I mewled in confusion again, one ear flopping.

"Oh, Rara." She said, holding me and crying. "I'm so sorry. I should have been there to protect you.'

I mewled worriedly, nuzzling her.

She began to stroke me, carrying me up to our room.

Seeing a cat bed, I placed the toy in the bigger one as she carried me into the bed, mewling with worry as I nuzzled her more.

"It's okay.' She said, sensing my worry. "You're okay."

She held me close, me nuzzling her as we both fell asleep.
