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

Breathe

     I don't really know what came over me but I started to hyperventilate. My breathing, uneven and disheveled. If Jorn was calling out to me I couldn't hear him, was it fear that kept my eyes on the TV? I continue to look at the TV; I know my father's face, how could I forget? It was beat, tired, and the most scariest thing of all he was smiling.

     My gaze went to the captions above his face, which was also above many other faces. It was the same as Bryson's caption, they were all suspects for the murderers, Marissa Keen and her friends, also Lisa, Jenny, and Mouriese, and many others that happen over the by month.

     "Y/n! Y/n?!" Jorn shook me and I finally snap out of my daze. "Hey- hey! Yer gonna be alright, alright?" Jorn said as he brought me into a tight hug. He stroked the back of my head with his hand, I couldn't help it, I didn't care about my Dad before, but now he's out and a suspect of recent murderers? I can't help but cry. I know mywhenever someone breaks out of prison it's normal to be afraid right? It's normal for someone to get uneasy in this situation, right?

     "I-I don't...I don't know!" I pitifully yelled over to him, I covered my eyes with my hands and cried. Jorn, who was still hugging me, pulled away to look at the TV, Dad was gone and it was replaced by a weather report. Despite it being the middle of September it was going to thunder and rain tonight.

     "Don't you worry, Y/n, I'll be here, I'll always be here to protect you. You don't need to worry about that horrible man getting to you. I promise."

      "I'm... I'm okay, I think." I wipe my tears with the back of my hand. I can't believe something like this is happening, first, it was a hunk of missing people (which I haven't yet confirmed was CC) then I almost DIE! I almost died again, what else universe?! What else have you got in store huh?!

     I sigh, my eyes hurt from crying so much, I tell Jorn that I will go freshen up, he nods while cleaning up the pizza box and our plates.

     It was way past my planned time away from work, I might get chastised by my boss (which isn't Jorn) because of this. I look myself in the mirror of my bathroom, I look horrible, puffy red eyes from crying, my hair messed up, dried tears on my face, and a snotty nose. Eugh, get yourself together Y/n! It's not like your life could be in peril because your father broke out! Hahaha...uh... Thank the Lord I  didn't tell him where I  live now, hopefully he thinks I'm still living at him and Mom's house.

     I had finished the rest of my work hours, lasting until 5pm. That whole situation of Dad breaking out is still getting to me, Jorn had left to get his own things from his house, he said he would stay with me for the night just in case I need anything.

     Then there was something... Something off when I stepped into my bedroom, like in the mall, like in the hospital...I smelt something odd.

Cinnamon

     I remember when me and Jorn researched Long Horse the smell of cinnamon in your house could mean they are trying to warn you about upcoming dangers that might come. We're they warning me? Oh God, what was going to happen to me? When was it going to happen to me?!

"Ugh..." I groan, this shit is just too much for me.

     I face plant into the bedsheets, snuggling closely into them, I hadn't realized how tired I was until now. I was still dressed in the clothes I wore for work, shirt and pants. I'm just too exhausted to get up and change.

     I suppose I'll just sleep...a little bit.

~~~~

     I woke up in my bedroom, well I think it was my room? It was morning and the sunlight was peeking in from outside. I thought I slept at around 5 pm? Did I really sleep that long?

     I was about to get up until I heard multiple cracks and snaps coming from my bedroom's door, I didn't see it until now but the door was wide open, showing a huge shadow that lead to outside. The snapping grew louder as I feared what was to happen next I saw a familiar white horse with black wired hair, and their iconic long neck that extended from the shadows further into my room.

     "Oh... This is a dream?" I mumble, Long Horse only cracked their ... Neck I think? In response.

     "So this means I'm in danger?! Am I going to die?!" You look down into your hands before looking to the elongated horse.

     Long Horse's cracks and snaps only worsened, ugh just speak to me like you did before! I was about to speak (more like complain) until I felt myself fading away.
      I look down at my hands to only see my wrists and then they continued to disappear. I shook a bit, this can't be happening!

     "Please! Just tell me what will happen! Where did you take CC, is he alright?! Who will end up killing me? I want answers!" I yelled to Long Horse, it started to return into the shadow of the 'door', I tried to get up from my bed but my legs were stuck to the mattress. I then maneuvered my vanishing arm under the sheets to only see my thighs, my legs were disappearing too!!!

      I struggled to keep my eyes open, I guess I'm waking up now.

~~~~

       I woke up in my room, again, but this time it was still dark, I check the time on my phone.

8:35 pm

     I groan, that dream only felt like a few minutes yet, three hours passed in real-time...  getting up from my bed was hard like it usually is without D/n's barking all the time. Speaking of D/n... I have gotta feed him!

     I get up quickly, and I rush outside my room. I was about to call out to D/n, he comes over while wagging his tail, he was also holding his dog bowl in his mouth (ISN'T THAT THE CUTEST THING?!).

    "Aww...Alright, come on boy." I say to him, I look around the kitchen, Jorn's not back from getting his things? Odd, I'm sure I gave him the spare key to my house. I check my phone to see if there were any texts from Jorn.

None?

     I sigh, maybe he got caught up with something and couldn't tell me, I'll just keep D/n company while I wait.

    After feeding D/n and refilling his water bowl, I check the time, 8:50... Jorn isn't back yet? I guess he really is busy. I shouldn't worry, Jorn can protect himself, he wouldn't get hurt! ... Ugh but that killer on the loose?! The killer who might possibly be a...-I guess - friend of mine? Or even my freshly-broken-out-of-jail Dad?! I can't tell which is worse.
     I get ready for bed, usually I'm tired and want sleep, desperately. But this time, I am uneasy and a bit scared, not only my Dad but also the disappearance of Jorn, I don't know if Jorn is safe, he always keeps tabs on me but how will I know anything about him?! His safety, him being 'okay' his well being?! I guess I'll admit, I'm more than just "a bit scared"... I'm terrified. What if he's the next victim?
