Hybrid

4

I can't escape. Every time I try to get out of the house ohm catches me. After seeing his face I just can't bring myself to leave him alone. He is too lonely.  He talks to me for hours then laughs at himself. He thinks I Don't understand him and just meow but I understand him. He feels like he is an important person in my life but I just can't stay here. I have to escape today. If not then I'll turn back tonight.

Ohm was munching on some snacks while watching tv while my whole attention was on the main door. I just have to wait for that door to open. Then I'll sneak out. I'll ask some cats to tell me the directions because they know everything. I saw love leave the house. I got off the couch and ran outside. Suddenly I felt an arm pick me up and throw me inside the house again.

"P' your cat wants to escape. " ohm looked at me and saw me laying down on the ground.

"Let him leave love. If he wants to leave he can leave. Don't hurt him. You literally threw him like he doesn’t get hurt"

"Argh! Whatever.  You and your cat are so weird." ohm laughed at her and looked at me with loving eyes. How can I leave those eyes? I know he will cry when I leave him alone. He is lonely. He just wants a friend.  Can I be his friend? But what if I turn to my human form? He will hate me right? Maybe he will throw me away.

"Wanna leave? Here the door is open. If you want to leave just go out of the door and I'll drive you back to the forest. I Don't believe in forever so... It was nice knowing you meow... You kinda acted like a therapist to me. Thank you angel" his speech brought tears to my eyes. I can't leave him now can I? Maybe It's better if I turn in front of him. He will hate me and throw me out of the house. I'll find my way back home. If he hates me... It'll be easier for me to forget about him.

Ohm opened the door wider for me but I ran back inside his room. I came inside and got inside the box he made for me. I can't cry in my cat form but my heart was crying. I wanna go back home because my parents are really worried but I can't go back because I have a friend now.

"Tay... We've been looking for him for days... Do you think he got kidnapped by the bad guys?" tay shushed his mate and looked at his cousin's photo.

"Let's hope he is safe, new. Aunty is really worried. I Don't want to see her cry anymore." new hugged tay and caressed the photo.

"Where are you, nong? Be safe please"

"You know he used to love my cat form because I have brown fur. He was so jealous when his mom complimented me. " taynew laughed at the memory. Nanon was always a good kid. Everyone in his family loved him. Now that he is gone everyone searching for him. His mother went crazy when he didn’t come back home but she knows her son is safe. Mother instincts maybe.

It was night time and nanon couldn't sleep. Anxiety was killing him. Ohm was hugging him and sleeping peacefully while he could barely breathe now. He kept waiting for him to turn back. He Didn't notice when he fell asleep on top of ohm.

"AHHHHHHHH" It was 7 am and he heard a scream close to his ears. He is very sensitive to loud noises so he woke up annoyed.  He held his ears trying to stop the noise from hurting his ears.

"WHO ARE YOU?" He finally looked up and saw ohm covering himself with his blanket. Ohm likes to sleep in his underwear.  Nanon was feeling cold so he looked down and realised he had already turned back to his human form.

"Umm..."

"WHY ARE YOU IN MY BED?" ohm screamed again and started panicking. Nanon tried to calm him but failed.

"So I'm -"

"WHY ARE YOU NAKED?" nanon had enough.  Being a cat hybrid his temper is shorter than his teeth.

"OKAY SHUT UP! LEMME TALK!" ohm got stunned and stopped screaming. 

"Ohm! Is everything Alright " his mom came to check up on him. He panicked because he had a naked man on his bed and he was naked himself.

"NO MOM DON'T COME IN! I'M FINE"

"What happened? "

"I'M NAKED DON'T COME IN!" ohm's screaming was making nanon's ears and head hurt so nanon crawled up in a ball trying to protect himself.

"Okay" his mom left and ohm poked nanon's shoulder.

"Hey" nanon straightened his back and looked at ohm with teary eyes. He knew ohm was gonna react badly and leave him on the streets. Maybe he will not even give him clothes because he might be disgusted.

"Ohm... I'm your meow... The-the cat you brought home From the woods. I'm not a cat... I'm a cat hybrid. I-i know it sounds crazy but please believe me" nanon started sobbing while hiccuping.  Ohm felt bad and patted nanon's head.

"But how can that be possible? Hybrids Don't exist " ohm tried to make sense because none of it was making sense. His cat suddenly turned into a human and talked to him.

"We do exist... I can't stay in my cat for more than a week because I'm just 20 years old"

" cats Don't live that long and can you stay in your cat form or whatever if you are older?"

"Yes... Hybrids live 60-100 years like humans... And-and yes... We can stay in our cat form longer if we are older"

"My head hurts" ohm held his head and looked down. That's when it hit him that the man In front of him was still naked and he was staring at his thing now. He shared his blanket with him and blushed.

"Explain...  Everything... But stop crying first" nanon wiped his tears and looked at ohm. Does he not hate him?

"Do you hate me now that I'm a human? "

"Just explain everything. Don't ask any questions. " nanon felt like crying again when he felt his ohm being strict with him...

"Okay... Okay... I'll explain "
