I crawled from the dumpster, mewing in distaste at my own misfortune. No food. I marched my tiny paws down the alley to the opening when I stepped on something sharp. I yowled in pain and yanked my tiny paw back. There was a thumbtack. Stupid Humans. I always get hurted on your stupid inventions. I limp on my paw back to the dumpster and crawl underneath it. I licked my paw daintily, hissing at the taste on blood.

"Who's there?" I heard a deep, soothing voice yell down the alleyway. I curled up on myself in fear.

"I heard you- Blood?" The voice mumbled again. I glanced at my paw, silently cursing myself for leaving the trail. Large, pounding footsteps made their way to me. Next I saw knees and some hands. I should've bit it's hand, darn it! Then I saw it's face and I swore my fuzzy jaw dropped.

It was most certainly a he. He had delightful pale skin and black hair. But his eyes struck me somewhere deep. He had dark Jade colored eyes that gave me butterflies. I tilted my head at him.

"Hey, Kitten. C'mere." He said softly, holding out his hand. I stared at it for a second, then him. Should I trust him? I've been beaten so many times, one more won't matter. Plus, I'm so scrawny that I'll be dead in a few days if I don't get any food. I limped forward and rubbed my head against his hand. He gently pulled me out from under the dumpster and cradled me in his arms. No ones ever held me like this before.

"Oh, your paw, Kitten. I'm so sorry. Let's get you home and bandage it." He murmurs, stroking my back. I gazed up at him. You'd really take me home?

"Your eyes are lovely!" He cooed. "Mi name is Michael. And I think I'll call you... Soldier. Yeah. That suits you."

I mew softly. I've never had a name before! It's exciting. I nuzzle deeper into his arm and drift off to sleep, feeling safer than I have since... Well... Ever.

Hi. *Waves Awkwardly*

The name's Hunter and I am your author! This is my first attempt at a Hybrid story, therefore, this story is going to suck. Sorry, but that's the truth.

Love you guys!
