Hybrids

Chapter 4

It was very late and I was getting sleepy.

"Kendall"

"Yes?"

"It's late and it's time for bed"

"O-ok" I strutted out. I know she wanted me to be her friend but how long before her father finds out? I followed her up to her or "our" room.

"Don't be scared ok Kendall!!! I promise I'm a nice person"

"Yes marry"
Once we where in her room she shut the door and went to her drawer and grabbed some sheets to put on the mattress.

"I hope these sheets are good enough"

"They are fine back at the pet shop we didn't get any luxuries like a mattress or sheets we had a small animal bed and food and water bowls if we where lucky we would get a blanket in the winter"

"That sounds awful!!!"

"I guess I never knew anything but that life that's why I feel weird sleeping on the mattress"

"Oh, well this is a good time to start!!!"

"Ok" I smile

"Ohhh you look so cute when your smile you should so smile more!!!"
I feel heat rise to my face and I look down to the floor

"Well here's a pillow" she hands me a very soft pillow

"Thanks" I place the pillow on the mattress and return my gaze to her.

"Huh you ok"

"Yes I'm fine"

"I'll be right back I need to get changed into my pjs"

"Alright"

She walked into another room attached to the main room. It must be the bathroom. I looked at her bed to see the small ball of fur start to move. The cat then looked at me.
"......" I've never had an experience with a cat besides the cats at the pet shop.

"I'm done and ready for bed!!!"

I looked at marry and bowed my head"

"Huh is everything ok, why aren't you in bed?"

"You didn't tell me I could sleep"

"I didn't think I needed to, do you need to use the bathroom?"

"No" I replied crawling into the "bed"

"For future reference you can do things without my permission when we are alone, if your tired them sleep do t worry about me telling you to"

"But"

"No buts! We are friends remember!!"

"Yes"

As I snuggled under the warm covers of my mattress bed I felt tiny footprints on my leg and I gasp

"What's wrong!!!"

"S-Somethings on my leg"

Marry looks down at me and smiles.

"It's Sima!! She likes you"

"Sima?"

"Yes. She's my cat!"

"Oh"

I look down to see her mesmerizing ocean blue eyes stare back at me.

"Hi"

Meow!

It's almost as if she could understand and respond intelligently. I could get used of this. This place this room this cat and my mistress I mean I friend.

"Night Kendall"

"Night marry"

I closed my eyes trying to sleep but something was bugging me. In the back of my mind I couldn't help but doubt marry. Is she just fooling me. Does she really want to be friends. What happens if she's waiting till I do something on my own and punishes me. What if I get sent back. I start to panic. My life has been leading up to this. I've been trained on my purpose in life. I've been trained on how to be a good pet. But now my mistress just wants to throw that away? Why? If I take control over my own life even a little I would get beat by the pet master. Why does she want me to disobey. Or maybe this is real. What if she is telling the truth and doesn't like the idea of "human" pets. Her father is a CEO of one of the largest hybrid pet store chains. He's someone to fear. If I mess up who knows what he will do to me! I notice I'm hyperventilating.

"Hey Kendall are you ok?!?!?"

I jump at the sound of her voice and move my hands to my head to protect it

"P-please don't h-hit me"

"Why would I hit you?"

"B-because I woke you u-up

"That doesn't matter look at me"

I didn't move to scared to get slapped

"Kendall look at me"

I still didn't move. That was a mistake I felt her hand go under my chin. I couldn't hold it in anymore and I started to cry.

"Kendall look at me it's ok nothing bad will happen, look I don't know your past but by the way your acting I'm sure you have some trauma. I'm sorry for whatever they did to you but please believe me when I say your safe here"

She was still looking me in the eyes when I grabbed onto her pjs and pulled her close. I couldn't help it she seems to kind and sweet I needed someone to tell me that. But I never had that. Now that I do I'm taking it.

"Shhhh it's ok"

"I'm sorry"

"Why are you sorry"

"I......"

"It's ok you don't have to answer"

"T-thanks"

She continued to let me cling to her for a while. I started to get very sleepy and my eyes where heavy

"I think it's time for you to sleep now ok"

"O-ok" I let her go and payed back down in my bed. She's so nice how did I end up so lucky.
