Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 54

Narrator:

A new feline had appeared out of nowhere in the room. His appearance was so sudden that it seemed as if he had stepped straight out of the shadows.

This feline was a shocking sight. Its fur was somewhat long, fluffy, and white, with subtle shades of light gray on the tips of its ears and tail. Every movement of his body was quite subtle and fluid as if he knew that this would be his new home so he should not walk with fear but with confidence, while his fur moved slightly, giving the impression of having the wind on his side to make him look more elegant and adorable at the same time.

His eyes, completely black, resembled a bottomless abyss, accompanied by dark scars, similar to tear marks, that descended from his round eyes to his chin, giving him a mysterious and somewhat threatening air. Finally, on his neck, a circular red collar could be seen, with a white ring in the center that highlighted the fur on his chest... He was a figure that, without a doubt, demanded respect and attention.

Cat Nightmare, who until then was resting comfortably on his alternate version's legs, noticed the presence of the new visitor, raising his head abruptly. His gaze, normally sharp and confident, twitched when he recognized a familiar aroma, raising his ears like antennas capturing an invisible signal in the air, placing him on alert and confusion.

Decidedly, he slid off Nightmare's lap, leaving the comfort behind with the intention of finding out who the new visitor was. With each step he took, he got closer to the new feline, until their bodies were centimeters apart.

The atmosphere had suddenly become tense, the three skeletons at the table watched the scene without knowing what to do or expect.

Were they going to witness a fight between the two cats? Would it be necessary to call Ccino to mediate what seemed to be an imminent conflict? Or worse, would they have to intervene themselves, something neither seemed prepared to do?

Grumpy Fluffy walked around the cat that resembled a large snowflake slowly, studying every inch of its body. The feline, for its part, remained motionless, its gaze fixed on that of its dark-furred counterpart. The air thickened, charged with palpable tension. The two cats stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, their eyes locked in silent mourning. With a quick movement, the black cat lunged at the one with white fur with shades of gray, knocking him to the ground.

For an instant, the soul of the three skeletons seemed to stop as they held their breath, expecting the worst.

Nightmare stared at the scene to separate the two felines when he felt the slightest feeling of negativity, Crescent covered the eyes of his cat version so that he would not see the possible violent scene and Killer was prepared to use his blue magic if necessary. 

Everyone was waiting to see who would try to strike the first blow, but very contrary to what they expected, Grumpy Fluffy, instead of attacking, began to lick the new feline's face insistently. The white-haired cat, surprised, let himself be licked, resigning himself to his fate.

The three skeletons, who had been on the verge of panic, let out a sigh of relief when they saw that the situation had not escalated into a fight. The tension in the room eased, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

After a few moments, the dark-furred feline pulled away and looked the other whitish-furred cat in the eyes. With a soft purr, he encouraged him to get up and then they intertwined their tails in recognition and found affection. The exciting scene felt like the two felines were celebrating a reunion after a long time being apart.

The little gray-furred kitten, who had been watching the scene from Crescent's protection, couldn't help but feel an instant connection with the new feline. His eyes sparkled with curiosity as he watched the gesture between the two older cats. Taking advantage of the fact that Crescent had discovered his little eyes, the little cat began to insistently touch the hand of his skeletal version, asking to be let down.

Feeling the tiled floor of the cafeteria under his paws, the little kitten tried to maintain his balance as he carefully walked towards the two cats, who continued to rub each other affectionately. Once in front of them, the kitten curiously approached the new feline and, with an instinctive gesture full of tenderness, began to rub against its left front paw, marking its territory in a soft and friendly way.

The white-furred feline responded to the little boy's gesture immediately, leaning towards him and rubbing himself with the same tenderness. The three cats, now united by an inexplicable bond, became the center of attention in the room. The tension from before had completely disappeared, replaced by a warm, comforting air of affection.

The skeletons, now relaxed, looked at each other and smiled, feeling that everything had gone better than expected.
