Catty

6

Chapter 6

The day went by as usual but not without a twist. "Are you Caterina  Tyson?" she looked at me with serious eyes. She caressed my face. I don't know how she concluded who I was. "Good Morning!" At last a distraction, Agee put me on my cat tree and tended to her husband.

"Have you noticed that Catty looks like Caterina, our loner, co-village kid?" Damn, she didn't give the idea up. Now, Byron Smith has his eyes on me too.

"Ah? Who's that again?" Phew! Safe for now. I know he knows that I am that Caterina, the loner in our small village.

I remember the moment, Byron became a slight friend of mine. He was ten then and I was nine. I thought, he would be the first friend that I'll ever have. Yet, Gracie came in our village, when summer began that year. "I don't want to be here, Mama, I'd rather be in the city rather than here, this place so small and very mediocre, unlike,"

I observed the new kid more and she stopped midway her rant, "Oh my gosh! Are you a prince charming in the making?" Byron awkwardly smiled at her. They instantly liked each other. That's what I saw and felt. Though, I didn't really feel that Byre and I has some connection in that way (which thank God we didn't), I just am happy on my own. I just want to explore and be contented with what I have.

Back to the present, I awaken from my usual nap, and noticed Agee, taking up medicines that Aree, hasn't seen her do. I knew it from the start, Agee is dying. Not because she was unhealthy at first. But, because she needs to die again. The balance of this world is so cruel to those who make a glitch, so they can live longer. Death always was with her. She was just fortunate to stay in her spirit form. It was truly a gift of second chance at life to be reborn again into her new body.

Yet, everything has a price always. "Caterina, I know it's you, come here."

Currently, it was 12 am. "What did Rose make you do, to attain this incarnation as a cat demon?"

So she's figured it out. I telepathically talked to her, "She just chose me to be one and as exchange, I need to look after your daughter, Aranya, the dragon spirit princess."

She bitterly smiled, "I am dying soon, I should've died already when she turned three but Rose extended my life." Yeah, I saw that, when Aree, turned three, a day after her birthday, Agee, almost met death.

"It was a good thing that Dragon Spirit Rose, though a quarter of her grandparents' dragon spirit blood line, she managed to extend my life by exchanging more of her powers."

She coughed blood and I knew then, she was gonna die this time. "I'll take care of Aranya, until she gets married and have kids of her own."

She bit her lips as if trying to suppress her tears. "I just want Byre to not be affected too much, if I am to decide, I did hope her remarries, not because I feel sorry for our short time together, it's just that, other than you and Dee Dee as her demon guardians, I see someone that will be a mother to our Aranya."

Huh? Who?

"Khion, the daughter of Hell and Rion Lee."

Raqyber's thoughts:
