"Kayden my love why are you being so cold to me i am your fiancée we made a promise when we were young"
"That was a little childish thing we done as kids"
Kayden replied then got up and scooped me up into his arms, he then turned around and began to walk but the girl quickly grabbed his arm.
"Kayden! why are you being like this is it because of that cat!"
Her attention drew to me with a glare in her eyes, i gulped and then looked up at kayden his eyes were more colder and darker he then turned around to face her.
"Lady wilson if you continue to make a scene in my presence then please leave"
"K.. kayden but i.."
"Guards escort lady wilson out of the mansion"
The knights rushed over and escorted the lady out, he sighed and headed back inside the mansion.
Once we were in kayden's room he placed me down onto the bed, then laid down sighing softly i began to wonder if he was okay.
(Kayden are you okay)
Not that he could hear my voice at all, but i walked over and stopped beside him as he had a arm over his eyes.
(By the way i wonder what is the history between those two)
"Kira promise me one thing you won't leave my side"
He said as he removed his arm from his eyes, he then stroked me gently all i could was let out a purr and meow.
"Thank you"
He smiled then closed his eyes softly, laying beside him i closed my eyes and fell asleep as today was exhausting.
Hours went by and when i opened my eyes i noticed, where kayden used to lay his place was empty.
(Hm i wonder where he went?)
Getting up with a stretch then hopped off the bed, i noticed the bedroom door was open so i walked out into the hallway.
(Huh why is it dark out here)
Meowing a hello no one answered, my ears twitched as i heard footsteps coming down the hallway.
"Ah i see this is the duke's precious pet"
A cloaked figure approached slowly smirking, he had a dagger in his hand my body shivered in fright as i backed away.
"Come here kitty i promise i won't hurt"
The smell of blood on him was strong and it made me almost throw up, noticing a opening he came closer and closer.
"Now kitty come here there is a good kitty"
He smirked more then once he was at my distance he lunged towards me, but i quickly ran passed him as i heard the dagger slam into the floor.
"Oi get back here dammit!!"
Continuing to run fast as i could i looked around to see any places to hide, but then all of a sudden as i turned a corner there were few more of them.
"So that is the cat that the duke treasures so much"
"Lets get her"
(Oh for god sake why now)
I turned around to run the other way but there were more, and looking to the other way i was surrounded.
"Now catch her!"
One yelled and before i could move a magic circle appeared below me, then chains of dark purplish kind wrapped around my paws then dragged me onto the floor.
"This time you are not getting away"
Looking up i noticed a male he had light greenish hair, his eyes were emerald green he was wearing the same cloak as the others.
"My lord we should hurry and leave before the duke catches up"
(Kayden? is he here aswell i need to yell out to him)
Taking a deep breath i then released a big meow, but nothing happened the others just laughed the one in charge bent down and picked me up.
"Nice try kitty but with this barrier we set up no one will be able to help you"
(Dammit i need to get free)
I began to squirm and hiss, as he was about to touch me i bit his hand hard and he growled out in pain.
"Muzzle her and lets go"
With a snap of one of their fingers a muzzle appeared around my mouth, and then they began to carry me.
(Kayden.. i promised i would protect you aswell but looks like i won't be able to)
"And where do you think your going Gavin?"
I heard a voice then looked towards the entrance, a long green haired male wearing a purple and white robe he had emerald green eyes.
"Tch so the duke sent you eh simon"
"No not really i came for my master who i sensed is in danger now i think it is time for you guys to sleep"
With a snap of his fingers the rest of the other figures, dropped to the ground as they were sent to sleep.
"KIRA!!!"
My ears perked up and i looked over to the entrance, there standing next to the green haired male was kayden.
(Kayden!)
"Step away from kira or prepare to be cut down"
"Oh? so this cat is important to you then well shall i have some fun"
Gavin turned to me with a smirk then launched a fireball at me, i closed my eyes waiting to hit me but i felt nothing as i opened my eyes i noticed i had a barrier around me.
All of a sudden there was a loud scream, looking over gavin was slashed across the chest by kayden's sword.
"Release her now gavin and give up your no match for us"
"Ha you think i will go down that easy"
A fight between the three of them started, laying there helpless i watched but it didn't last long though.
As simon launched a ice arrows towards gavin but he blocked it, but kayden managing to sneak behind him thrusted his sword through his heart then pulled it out as blood splattered everywhere.
"Y.. you may think you have won but there will be more"
"Oh really"
Once again simon snapped his fingers, gavin's wound was healed but chains appeared from the ground and wrapped around him.
"Kayden let me handle gavin you head over to kira"
"Thanks simon"
Simon nodded then looked at me with a smile he then vanished with gavin, other knights appeared and handled the rest.
The chains vanished and the muzzle as i could move my body again, kayden walked over he kneeled down then scooped me into his arms holding me close.
"I.. I am sorry kira if i was here early none of this would have happened"
I could feel the tears falling down his cheeks, i smiled then licked them softly and slowly closed my eyes falling asleep in his warmth embrace.
To be continued.
