[I Caught you!] Cartoon Cat x Reader ((Discontinued))

It's Just Some Myth...Right?

     I need to get to the bottom of this before more people are killed.

    But, it all seems to be unreal...how could a kid's imagination make this...thing?

    I kept scrolling through the pictures until a link caught my attention.

''Cartoon Cat found in an old mall!''

     I clicked the link totally void of the possibility it was a Grabify link for unknowing teenagers.
The site quickly sent me to an address simply titled ''Unknown Location''. It was pretty sketchy, but I had no other leads, but this wasn't pretty convincing, it wouldn't hurt to try it right?
I sighed into my hands and then run my fingers through my hair, I guess my real investigating work starts here.

     I begin to pack necessities in a backpack, hopefully, I come back mostly intact.
I ring up someone who can take care of D/n while I'm away.

     Some time passes by and I hear a knock on my door must be the person who's meant to watch over D/n!

     "Hey, you must be the guy to watch D/n," I said putting out my hand for him to shake, he seemed to be a bit older around 30-ish? 

    "Yeah, you got it. I'm Bryson." Bryson shook my hand thoroughly then placed another hand on top of the one he was already holding, kind of making me uncomfortable, but I brush it off for now.

    "Come in, you have to meet D/n, then I'll show you around the place so you know where everything is," I say ushering him inside.

    "Lovely place you got 'ere." Bryson says patting me on my back, okay...that's weird but whatever.

    "Thank you, so D/n's probably resting right now, everything you should need is in the cabinet make sure to refill his water bowl...and take him outside once in a while," I say pointing to the cabinet in the kitchen, his water bowl, then the front door.

    "Thank you again, I've gotta go but if you need anything just text me," Thankfully on that app I used for D/n you can text and call each other while the worker is working for you.

    "Will do!" Bryson says while looking for D/n's crate.

     Time to get things rolling.

     I pull up the address on my phone it looked very secluded to the woods area, hopefully, I can get there with no casualties...I never really liked going anywhere creepy but I have to get this done so nobody else gets hurt...wait why haven't I told Jorn about this..? Argh never mind him for right now.

    It takes me less than an hour to get there, while on the road I told Jorn I'd be doing some solo investigation on this, and he obviously didn't take too kindly to that.

    "You were given a group to do this investigation with, why are you doing it alone...again? It's just like that murder case with.." I just tune him out, pretending to be listening when really I'm paying more attention to the road than anything. Don't use your phone while driving kids! 

"Uh-huh...yep I know," I say not even listening, I then see I'm pretty close to my destination, only a few miles into the forest then I'm at my stop.

    "I've gotta go, Darren, I'll try and talk to you later." I then hear him go livid about how I should just go back home or else he'd bring me back him himself.

     "Yep... bye-bye now Darren-" 

     "Don't you DA-"

*Beep*

      I'm not letting him stop me from doing my job, regardless if he's my senior or not.

     "Okay, let's see what's in store today..." I look in my bag just in case I forgot anything.

     Extra clothes just in case I get the ones I'm wearing dirty.

     A flashlight, who knows what's out there...

     My phone, obviously.

     A handy handgun, if a weirdo creeps up on me I'll shoot 'em in the face!

     Disposable surgeon gloves, if I see anything suspicious I'll be able to touch it without placing my fingerprints on it.

     Plastic bags, to keep evidence!

     Bug spray, I'm going to be walking a while so I've gotta make sure bugs take a bite.

     I look at my surroundings, the road stopped a while ago causing my car to drive on dirt for as long as I had to to get here.

     "Let's get this over with," I say exhausted.

     Leaves crunch under my feet as I walk to my destination which is to what it says, an abandoned mall. The only history I've looked up about it was it used to be an animation studio back in the 1900s, but then became bankrupt. It was then turned into a mall quickly afterward but wasn't used for unknown reasons. The only reasons I found were far-fetched.

     "Monster...in the mall?" I mumble recalling the comments I read on the mall's history page.
With that comment, a lot of teenagers to young adults went missing, probably due to dares and just being plain idiotic.

     Finally, I reach close to the mall, what the hell? There was blood on the ground and it looked completely trashed. I try to ignore the blood but I put on my gloves to see what happened. I touch the blood only to see it's dried...I hadn't even realized how close I got to the entrance of the mall...

     The insides of the mall were just like a modern mall with escalators, and many shops that seem deserted... And no to mention how many rats and bugs there were.
"Holy shit..." I utter under my breath, the mall was abandoned but it felt sort of occupied.
Like there was someone or something? In here.

     I hesitantly stepped inside the mall automatically feeling as if I'm being watched, even when I was outside. Quickly I take out my flashlight and turn it on only to see a cockroach crawling up my leg. 

     "AAaA!! GeT aWaaAAy!!" I screech while spraying it down with bug spray. Of course, it backs off and then soon after dies on the floor. I watch it intently just in case it pops back up for revenge.
"Motherfucker..." I then flip off the cockroach.

     After I did that I heard rustling in the distance, I looked up to the second floor to see hunks of trash in a big pile. Geez, this place gives me the creeps. I just keep looking around using my flashlight as I scan the area, I also keep my gun handy while keeping my small bug spray canister in the bottle pocket of my bag. 
"This better not be some clickbait shit, or else I'm gonna be humiliated..." I talk under my breath as I search the shops with my light. 

     I was about to leave the god-forsaken shop when I felt something move behind me. I thought it was just some rat before I felt something wrap around my waist, not exactly a hand or an arm but like a rubber rope.

     I turn around quickly and fire my gun but the bullet just seemed to be absorbed by the being...thing? CAT?!?!

     "That hurt..." Followed by a mischievous laugh that seemed to shake the building. I was being lifted into the air fear overtaking my body. 

     "What the...fuck..." I say quietly, the thing I saw in the pictures was real...

     "I'll just have to eat you now because of that language!" The cat smiled wider opening it's mouth to just drop me. But I couldn't allow that.

     "G..GET AWAY!" I tried to shoot more times but my gun just clicked.

     My gun was EMPTY! I swear I reloaded it before leaving the house but I guess my mind was playing tricks with me! I have more ammo in the car but I guess it's too late to go back.

     "A feisty one ain't 'ya? The more fun to catch 'y-" I reach into my bag's pocket to just spray him with bug spray. 

     "AAARRgg!!" The tall cat drops me onto the floor which I thankfully land safely as by being 10 feet in the air isn't exactly the best height the fall from.

     The cat's eyes are puffy and red and he looks at me with anger, "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT ONE MOUSEY!" The cat's arms stretched as they did before to catch me but I was quick to my feet, I got up and tried to rush to the exit. I was stopped dead in my tracks as the cartoon cat just seemed to appear right in front of me with those same bloodshot eyes and that smiling expression not even faltering from its face.

     I was basically cornered, what the hell can I do? I don't know if there are any back exits and even if there were I highly doubt they wouldn't be unlocked.

    "Ya really shouldn't have done that mousy." That silly pet name coming back. 
"Now I'll kill 'ya the most painful way I know, then eat you! AHAHAHAHA!" The cat laughs again while coming closer with his hose-like arms.

     "Hey, I'm uh...police! And they'll come to get me when they realize I'm missing!" I say, fortunately, I placed my location on whenever I'm out, Jorn might come out and find me. I hope not though...not here.

     "I'll just put 'ur badge along with the others! You don't think you're the only one??" The Cat creeps closer.

     "You don't scare me." I lie, I was really petrified but I can't let that stop me from stopping...this thing.

     "I don't really care if 'ya scared 'r not!" The cat is finally close enough for me to see its real features of it, and I really do hate the look it has.

    "Y/n! L/N!!" I turn my head to the exit, JORN?
