" Sebastion?! " Marina yells down to him, as more crashes are heard. Kate starts to whine, and Marina grunts and picks her up, hurrying down stairs with Kate in her arms.
" Sebby, what the Hell is going on down he- " She is cut of when she sees that he has a strange black cat , with vary fluffy fur and Big red eyes.
She nearly drops kate when she puts her on the floor and runs over to protect the Poor thing " Sebastion!!! Stop!!! What the hell do you think your doing! " she takes the poor frightend animal from him.
" Marina! This is no time for you to interfere! This is none of your business what I am doing with this theif! " Sebastion says irritatingly back.
" None of my business? None of my business?! You're a father Sebby! You're a parent! We both our! You need tolearn to speak with me! Communicate! Please dont make me wrong when I was sure we were ready to. To have kids! " Marinas eyes were starting to water up under her mask.
" Marina I- " Sebastion was Cut off by something he had never seen bwfore. The red eyed cat- or so it seemed - turns into a small boy standing at Marinas feet. Is hair went down a little to his neck, and he had the same red eyes. He wore a black shit, black pants, and a scarf.
" Im sorry Mam. . I really didnt mean to interrupt! I was just hungry and. . " the boy digs into his pocket as Marina stares down at him with Sympathy. Sebastion however, was not so easily Amused.
The boy pulls out a small can of Sardeans to her " Here! You can have it back! " he says, stuttering vary often with nervousness.
" Oh sweat heart. . no no no I am sorry. We both are sorry. Please. . you can stay here untill moring "
" Marina! " Sebastion yells in protest. She simply ignores him.
" Do you. . really mean it? "
Marina nods with a smile.
" You can stay as long as you would like. Do you have a name sweety? "
The boy looks down and takes a step back. But when he looks back up it is not Marina who is infront of him. It is kate. She was only a foot or two shorter then him. She looks at him for a momment before she wraps her arms around him with a giggle " Grinny! " she says playfully. The boy didnt know what to do. But he felt more comfortable with her. For an odd reason. .
" Grinny. Thats my name. . Grinny. "
Marina smiles cheerfully to the too before she picks kate back up. Sebastion roles his eyes as he walks out the door , heading twords his work shed.
" Come on Grinny. You can sleep with kate here. Tomorrow, we can contact your family, and il drive you ho- "
" I dont. . have a family. . I was abandoned when I was young. . "
Marina looks at him for a second as Kate laughs down to him.
" Then we will be you're Family. "
