A new life

His neko, The encounter

I ran as far away from that place as I could, the cold path under my feet, the warm sweat ran down my body. I came to a stop when I saw people; I knew I was safe as long as there were people there, I knew he wouldn’t come after me here. I wondered around for a while listening to people talking and smelling the sweet Funtom candies and fresh breads and fruits. After about an hour or 2 of walking around my hunger started to drive me mad. I looked for something to eat but couldn’t find a single scrap. My stomach growled as I wondered over to a small dark ally, for some reason the small dark ally drew my attention. I lay down on a pile of old cloth and my eyes slowly closed.

“Don’t… Stop it…leave me alone!” I screamed over and over again as the doctor made his way towards me. I tried to run but there was nowhere to run to, every time I turned around he would be there, there with the substance in his hand. “stay still now, you don’t want this precious substance wasted do you, you know what will happen to you” he mocked grabbing me. He slowly raised the needle and slowly pierced my pale skin with it. A whimper escaped my lips

When I woke I was sweating and my body ached more than it did yesterday. With a sigh I sat up and rubbed my head “It was just a dream, just a dream.” I whispered to myself to calm myself down. I looked around to see there were a few people out and about, going on with their daily routines not even taking notice of what was going on around them. I got up and started walking around a bit to see if I had any luck finding food this morning. I found a small loaf of bread that someone had left behind, so I hurried back to the little ally and gobbled it down viciously. That’s when it started, the stabbing pains in my lower back and on my head and basically my whole body. I tried not to scream and held it in as well as I could. It calmed down after a while and I fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of screaming and ripping flesh and the touch of the warm blood on my cold skin. I stayed as still as I could, turning around slowly, trying to see what was going on, trying to keep hidden in the shadows. All I could see was red hair, beautiful red hair retreating into the darkness, vanishing without a trace. Then there were footsteps, the sound grew louder and louder until silence. “What is this?” A man asked. Crap will they blame this on me I thought rolling up as much as I could and closing my eyes. “Oh poor kitten” Said another man, younger than the last. I felt gloves around me, but something was wrong, the gloves went all the way around me. I was picked up like I was weightless and grabbed onto the thing that was lifting me. “Put the cat down Sebastian.” An even younger man said with an irritated tone.

“But young master the poor kitten is all bloody”

“Fine just for tonight”

 I opened my eyes to see a man in what looked like a butler uniform on, he looked huge. I felt myself being lifted and put into a bath, without thinking I tried to get out only to be pushed back in. “Now now kitten that isn’t very nice.” The butler said with a saddened expression. I looked down at my hands, wait my hands they weren’t there, there were only paws, cat paws. What’s going on…
