Cat

Chapter 1

A not so pleasant meeting...

The wind howls and night falls, as i shiver here alone in the darkness of a box in a back alley. A soft meow comes from outside the box and as i open the sides kuro walks in. He lays his small fluffy body next to me as his back touches my stomach and his fur warms me. Seeing him reminds me of my past life... My name is Cat I'm a homeless boy and when I was seven my parents pasted away in a house fire our family was poor and when they died the government wouldn't take me in. I was too young to understand why and i still don't know... So i took life into my own hands and lived in boxes in alleys. The people of the city hate me. I get into fights a lot trying to defend myself. But I know nothing will help, they only take me as some loser whose gonna rob them. Well, if I have nothing Why not rob them? I survive on stealing. Nothing like a petty thief to lighten the mood.  Anyway here i am, sitting alone in the box ...with kuro, he's my cat. I guess... though i have nothing to feed him he usually comes to me a lot. He really helps with getting warm... i named him Kuro because of his fur... its pitch black, but it has this shine to it, it makes him look so nice? Life has been hard but I've just turned fifteen well, I can get a job but till I'm fully fifteen... and according to a supposed stranded I have to wait a full month before   I usually go though dumps and find something to eat but today i couldn't find anything! I'm starving down to the bone... But I'm use to it. Hmm... maybe there's like a shop I could rob? Morning came, as the sun peeked in people slowly started to flood the streets. Suddenly voices came from the alley. Kuro didn't flinch some bastards  are trying to rape some girl again... I sighed "This is getting old." I whispered to myself. I peeked my head out to see some rich girl trying to calmly brush her way out from three guys who are blocking her from leaving. "Heh! Sorry! But I need to get to school!" she smiled trying to make her way through a crack between the guys. They blocked her. "Not so fast Dear. You seem scared. Calm down, we can get to know each other and maybe have a drink..." 

"I'm sorry but I need to get to school..." She seemed anxious

One of them grabbed her arm trying to pull her forward, she pulled back. Walking backward. Maybe I should step in? Ehh, whatever fine. This is my terf.  I stood up from the boxes. Stopping one of the guys from grabbing her again. "Find someone your age." I stared dead into their eyes they seemed surprised.  They looked at each other, "Come on lets go.  We'll someone else, for now lets keep it low." I was surprised they turned around and left. I sighed. "You okay?" I asked She nodded, now that i'm seeing her up close I noticed not only was she cute but she definitely seemed like she was in the same age group.  "I'm going to be late for school, I should get going. Thank you for your help!" she bowed. 

That was the last of her, Least that's what I thought. 

I spent the day dumpster diving, I scored some food and stole from some chef who might send a hit-man on me. Heh! I couldn't get what happened this morning out of my head it was like a permanent memory.
