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

Not giving up!

I could have said something but I let it be. Let's be honest, the past is the past and I hated what I encountered. It was more likely to say that I didn't know about Penelopes past much but I knew how they treated me and it was worse than any low life human being from the slums. So why should I even talk to them, why would I need their sorry or even worry about them? They never cared for me. 

Winter didn't know this.

I also didn't feel like telling him since this was my past and to be frank, I didn't know a lot about him too. So we were on equal fotting here.

Winter: Are you angry?

Me: What do you think?

Winter: I think that you needed to see everything end.

Me: Why would I need that?

Winter: It's a feeling.

Me: Well you have a bad feeling. Now where are we heading?

Winter: There is a place, I want to show you.

Me: Now I am currious!

Winter: You'll see. We won't take long there.

He did say this but I didn't expected him to use Magic on this carriage so we got teleported to the place. I mean wasn't magic somewhat restricted and prohibited? Guess not since he was using it this feely. Well anyways, back to me not wondering what the fuck he is thinking cause this was certainly not how he would act normally. From the game play, I would have judged him to be quite thoughtful and secretive and more... well... careful. Tho what I was seeing was recklessness and gullibility. I mean, why should he have believed me to be a cat because of him? There was no proof nor any evidence against it?! 

Maybe I should stop thinking about that and just accept it.

Me: Where are we?

Winter: This is the outskirt of the empire. 

Me: What happened here?

We were walking the moment we arrived to the entrance of the city. I didn't wanted him to carry me so I was walking either beside him or running around looking at the poor people. Sometimes I was even thinking that they would be dead. All these people suffered so much and I could somehow even relate to them so much on more than one level.

Winter: Penelope, Come here.

Me: Mh?

There were some kids wearing masks when he called me over. I didn't even realize when they came but these kids were distributing bread and Winter was actually pulling it our as if he had some secret inventory. Of course I came over and looked at everything. I wish I could help but for now, I could only make the kids laugh while playing with me. After all, I didn't had hands but I had paws and I had a heart. So I could still climb, hug, pur and try to get their attention while acting cute and let them pet me to their heart content.

Time passed quite quickly and it was starting to get dark. 

hmmm....

Where is Winter?

This doesn't make sense....

Where did he go?

Where is everyone?

Did I get lost playing with the kids?

No wait... there is this kid with a lion mask!

Better stick with him.

I really enjoyed my time playing and conforting people, that I didn't realize when Winter vanished. Well not that it mattered.

Me: Mew!

Kid: Oh you are Penelope! Master told me about you, I am Lion. RAWR!

Me: MEW!

Seeing as he acted all mighty and had his fun, I started to get on my back legs and mewed in respond. He found it cute but funny since he started laughing. He was a good kid. They all were. I could tell that much.

Lion: He said he would be back and we should be close to you but... do you mind if I go play with the others by the bitch?

Me: Mew!

Of course I didn't had anything against that and so I shock my head and let the kid run ahead while following him. This was all so new to me. Everyone here was just suffering but they were also having a good time here and there. They didn't give up on life yet, that much was for sure. So why should I let my current cat self get in any kind of depression? It was actually quite nice to be a cat.
