Oh my Oh my... Is this true? I am a cat.... !!!!

Well....well...well

I definitely couldn't understand how this happened but just seeing that damn number rise made me happy. This might be a game changer and perhapse I could survive this hard mode while being a cat. If it all it took was for them to like me, me as a person, not "Penelope" Penelope... that character alone, then this was definitely gonna be an easy win for sure. Who could hate a cat? I was cute, I was fluffy and who knows, maybe someone would actually make a connection. Though that was something that I highly doubted for sure.

Anyways, I was there a bit in shock and Derrick saw me but he definitely didn't stricke me as a cat person, but apparently he was since he tried to pet me. I mean sure why not but there was this slight problem with this. Let's be honest and fair here. He used to mistreat and ignore and tell me to live like a dead rat, does anyone seriously think that I would accept that?

He did try to pet me but what he got was a scratch and then a hiss before I jumped away and hid right on the top of the next shelf. It was definitely handy to be able to jump this high up.

Oh god...

Seems like I will be acting more than a bit like a cat. 

Not as if I didn't wanted to act this way.... but I shouldn't have!

What if his likability will drop?

What if he starts to think I am annoying?

WHAT IF?!

As I was thinking about this and panicking a bit, the door was kinda thrown open and Penel as well as Reynold came into the room. Penel was something I could understand but not Reynold. That was kinda a weird comby, I had to admit that. Definitely not something I thought I would see that fast.

Reynold: DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS?!

Derrick: No and there is no need to scream like that.

Reynold: TSK!

Derrick: Reynold, what she does is not our problem as long as she is not embarrassing our family.

Reynold: And what do you think why I am here?

To make yourself look like an idiot!!!

Penel: What the young Master is trying to say is, Miss Penelope is missing.

Derrick: She might have gone for a walk.

Penel: I have already ordered people to go look for her.

Derrick: Is this really necessay? She will be back.

Reynold: Where can she go? 

Derrick: What does it interest us?

Reynold: Father is looking for her.

Derrick: *sigh* that is another problem.

Reynold: He wants us all.

Derrick: I see.

It was at that moment that I jawned and made a small noise as I was making myself a bit comfortable and about to jump off the shelf to take this opportunity and run. The door was open after all but the moment I was about to jump off, I saw Derrick focusing on me, Reynold turn around and Penel just standing there as if nothing was wrong. Well I had two people looking at me as I just jumped down and froze as they were starting though my sould.

Reynold: Since when do you have a cat?

Derrick: I don't. It was found in Penelope's room and I found it running in the hallways.

Reynold: And you took it in?

I AM NOT A GODDAMN STRAY!

THE HECK YOU THINK I AM?!

Derrick: The cat has no faults.

Reynold: But that stupid idiots. 

Derrick: Come here kitty.

Reynold: Does it really obey people?

I looked at them then turned around and dashed out. The first person following me was Reynold after he actually took a step towards me and Derrick told him it was his fault. I could hear them a bit but then I just heard all these footsteps behind me. Yeah, I was being chased once again but this time there was no one who could stop me from getting out of this goddamn house. I definitely had to get out of here.

What would I do here?

Let them tame me as a pet?

Be there for all their bullshit?

I had a feeling that I would be quite furious staying here and just be with them. Both of them hated me, both of them didn't give me a chance and both of them were idiots for judging me without any reasons! Reynold even framed me in the past!!!! Why the hell should I stay here? I might as well try to stick with Winter or his mad and bloodthirsty lunatic of a highness Calisto. Or, I could try my luck with Eckles but serioulsy, how was I supposed to help that man?
