Torn between two (A Neko story) [Book 2]

Chapter Seventeen

.___.

Daddy put my last kitten into the large basket as I sniffed. Why was this happening? Why can't Daddy make it stop?

My kittens were being taken away from me and I couldn't do anything about it.

"K-kittens..." I whimpered as Daddy frowned at me. I moved forward and leant over the basket as Daddy moved back to give me space. Reaching my head down, I rubbed my face over all of my kittens as the tears kept slipping down my face.

My youngest male reached up for me as I leant up. I kissed his hands and his face as I quietly cried on his chest.

"Gra..." Looking back, I saw Niall come and quietly sit beside me. He rubbed his head on my shoulder as I shook in tears. Leaning back, I hide myself away into Niall's waiting arms and cried.

He kissed my hair and groomed my ears as I perched my head over his shoulder.

On the edge of the couch sat Harry, frowning and leaning down towards me. I shook my head and cried freely onto Niall's shoulder to feel another hand cautiously rub my back.

I knew it was Daddy. He had a certain touch that nobody else had.

Suddenly, there was knocking at the door. My head spun around as I watched Daddy slowly stand up and answer it.

"Hello Lo-"

"Take your bloody Neko's and get out." He growled as the familiar man I remembered as Liam nodded with a hard swallow. He walked in, followed by the other man Zayn. I hadn't seen them in a while.

Instantly, I leant back over the basket, trying to get as much time with my kittens as I could.

My littlest male then began to cry, and I whimpered as I kissed over his, face.

"Hello." Liam's voice spoke as I slowly looked up to see a stranger kneeling down near me. He looked down at my kittens before smiling sadly at me. "I'm sorry." Reaching a hand out to me, I hesitantly watched as he touched my head. His thumb reached down and wiped away at my cheek as I looked at him hopelessly.

Please don't take my kittens. Please.

But he didn't hear my thoughts. Instead, he reached for the basket and pulled it away. My eyes widened as I shook my head, grabbing the other side.

"No," I whimpered as Liam came to his feet, pulling my kittens away from me, "no!" I cried, feeling a hand fist the back of my shirt. "Kittens!"

"Grace." Daddy cooed softly, coming over and pulling my arms away.

"Daddy! Daddy please!" I pleaded as he looked away, tears in his eyes.

Liam stood with my kittens, turning back and nodding at Zayn. I tried to chase the basket, to get my kittens back, but Daddy restrained me.

I could hear them begin to cry, and all I wanted to do was get them back.

"Daddy! Daddy!" I scratched at his arms as he pulled me tighter against his chest. Why wasn't Daddy stopping them?! My kittens were being taken away!

"Grace!" I heard a sudden call from behind me. Looking back, I saw Zayn attaching a lead to Niall's collar making my eyes widen.

Niall reached out desperately for me and I turned, doing the same thing. Our fingers were about to touch until Zayn yanked Niall away by his lead.

"What? Why are you taking Niall? This wasn't part of the deal!" Daddy yelled.

"He's our Neko. He's done his deed so we want him back." Louis stared confused and angry at Zayn as I shook my head desperately.

"He's their father! You can't just take him away!"

"Niall!" I cried, him tugging harsher at his restraint, panting a slobbering saliva from his mouth. But it seemed that Zayn had more strength, and had to physically drag him to the door. He took Niall in his hold before throwing him over his shoulder.

"I'm sorry for the trouble Louis." Liam said as he followed Zayn and Niall out the door.

"Niall! Kittens!" Was the last thing I cried before they were gone.

My eyes stay wide as I stare where they had left.

They were gone.

Niall and my kittens. Gone.

And now we all sat in silence. My insides dropping heavily as I fell onto my side.

"Grace!" Daddy yelled and pulled me up into his arms. But I lay limp in his hold. They're all gone and I can't find anything in me to get through to tomorrow. I'm done.

"Gra," seeing Harry crawl over towards me, he quietly whimpered as he came close. He rubbed his face against mine, wanting a reaction. But I couldn't give one. I didn't have it in me to.

Harry came beside us and wrapped his arms around me as he buried his head into my shoulder.

But I sat still. And I think I would for a long time.
