Crimson Nightmares Book Two: Hell's Approval

Chapter Thirteen

I felt myself being tossed around. Then I blinked, the world started to faze in and out. I was in front of a house that I didn't recognize. I looked down at my hands, they were black and covered in fur. I felt two ears on my head. "How-how am I a cat? I died then-" The realisation hit me. I never knew truly what happened if you died in hell. I scraped at the door and it opened. A man was sitting at the table, his mullet was longer then when I had left him and he had a scar down his neck. He turned and shot the gun as fast as a coyote could. I dogged it and he looked at me, "A cat." he sighed. "Sorry little kitty he got up from the counter and walked over to me. It looked like Gerald. It was Gerald. "How- you look like a old friend of mine." He frowned. "Why are you eyes red dear." He stocked the top of my head. "Gerald, it's me!" I tried to yell. It came out as a meow. "Ah, the door." He ran over to the door and shut it. His house was the same as when I left it. Katanas were hung up on the walls, with guns and knifes on displays.

"You... you look like her." He said, staring at me. "How?" Sat up on my hind legs. "She always did look like a cat. You don't have a collar."

I glanced down at my neck. Of course I wouldn't have a collar. I wasn't some pet. I was the devil's wife. "Gerald, it's me. I died. In hell. And then I came back. As a cat. I don't know why. I just did." I tryed to say. It just came out as Meow.

"Your a nosie one." He smiled. I missed his smile.

He picked me up and sat me on the table. "Well, since your here, I suppose you want some food." He walked into the kitchen. "Fuck, what do cats eat?"

I followed him into the kitchen. "I think they could eat like a normal human?" He shrugged and opened a can of tuna. He placed it on the floor and I ate it hurriedly. It was salty but I could get use to it. He walked out of the room and came back with a picture of us. He put the picture next to me and gasped. "You look so similar." Tears were dripping down his face, but he smiled and hugged me. I nuzzled into his neck, feeling the warmth of his skin.
