"Click, click, click." What the hell is that? I thought.

I listen harder.

"Click, click, click..."

"Shine!" My moms voice blares through the room like a siren. "Open the door! I have your breakfast!"

"Mom!" I hear my voice boom.

"Honey, I'm not even being that loud."

I cringe away from her voice. Then I thought of something.

"Hey, mom? Will you try whispering something? I want to see something."

"Fine, Hun!" She responded. "What am I supposed to say?" I heard her whisper. "I am whispering and this is stupid because you wouldn't be able to hear me anyway."

She kept on whispering but I wasn't listening anymore. I couldn't help thinking that I was listening to my mom whisper through my bedroom door, which is reinforced with the thickest of woods.

I instantly know what that clicking was. It was my moms heels. I must've been listening too hard, I thought. But I knew that deep down that that wasn't normal. I shouldn't be able to hear my moms footsteps all the way from the kitchen which is on the first floor or her whispering from so far away.

"Fine honey, I'll be quieter, but will you please open up the door?"

"One sec, mom!" I responded.

I ran into my adjoining bathroom to make sure that my ears weren't bleeding. I looked into the mirror and I almost fainted.

My eyes used to be be blue.

"The color of the clearest of all waters," my mom used to say.

Now my eyes seemed to be golden, with the tiniest hint of green around the pupils. Except the pupils weren't shaped normally. Almost like....

I looked to my cat that I had gotten for Christmas on my tenth birthday.

"Sophie," I whispered. "Come hear, baby."

She came right up to me, glad to be picked up and held.

I held her up to the mirror and looked at her eyes. I then looked at my eyes. They were identical. Except, mine seemed to be more golden than hers. But what really through me off were the pupils. Thin slits right down the middle of both eyes. Both Sophie and I had the same exact eyes.

"Holy..." I trailed off.

"Shine, you better open up this door now!!"

What about my mom?? I couldn't tell her...could I? No! Absolutely not!

"Hey mom?" I shouted. My ears rang in protest. Funny, I thought. I didn't think that I yelled that loud.

"Hurry up!" She yelled back.

"Could you just leave it by the door?" I responded.

"Of course not! You better get your ass over here now missy or..."

"Mom!" I yelled back. "I'm in the middle of the most biggest dump I've ever..."

"Alright, alright Shine! God...no need for details!!"

I heard her place the tray on the ground and walk away.

"Click, click, click, click...."

I listened until I heard her get to the bottom floor.

"Yup," I said out loud, "officially crazy."

I smiled smugly and sighed as I turned back to the mirror before my smile dropped instantly. What was I going to do about my eyes.

Wait...I thought. I had to check one thing.

"Sophie, speak!!" I said. As I set her down.

No response.

"Sophie, I command you to..."

"Hissssssss" Sophie protested as I set her down on the ground.

Thank God, I thought, that I don't speak cat too.
