Turing into a cat

Chapter 9 - Meow!

Grace's POV: I hear mum calling for george and dad. Its probably lunch so i decide to join. I think Jake knows because he climbs down, meows and runs off. I climb down and walk back to the front and open the door.

Mum, Dad and George are sitting at the table eating lunch when i walk in.

"Grace your back, come eat with us!" Dad says smiling.

I go to the table and sit down, i grab some leftovers and start eating. Im really hungry because i never got to go to starbucks and i never got to eat either. George Passes me a piece of his toast to me under the table because theres none left and i happily stuff it into my mouth pretenting like nothing happened.

I dont know how im going to face Darcy again and im caught daydreaming... again.

When im finished im so full i think im going to explode.

"Mum what's the time?" I ask breaking the silence.

"Grace you always ask me, the clocks right there." Mum replies looking worried.

I didn't really want to know the time, I was just breaking the silence because it's always awkward when no one talks.

I stand up, grab my plate and put it in the sink. As I'm walking out of the kitchen mum stops me.

"Could you wash the dishes?" Mum says hopeful.

"Why me?" I say, walking back over to the sink full of dishes.

I decide to do it because there's nothing else to do. I start scrubbing really hard and scrubbing and .....

I'm daydreaming yet again...

I hear a meow that breaking through my silence. I look up and it's Jake right outside the window staring at me. I better go see what he wants.

I finish the dishes and walk out into the backyard. I look at him and he starts meowing away

MEW MEW MWEEEOOW.

My eyes widen... what Is he saying?!?!

He goes over to the dirt and I follow, he sharpens his claw and starts drawing...

It's a letter?

I think and think... HEY! I got a letter when I got home this morning, he wants me to open it!

I run upstairs and grab the letter, I run back downstairs and out the back again. I hold up the letter to Jake

MEW! is what he says which I take as a yes.

I start to open the letter and something falls out of it onto the floor, I go to pick it up and .... WHAT?
