My Pets?!

Chapter 9

Threne's POV

The rays of the sun hit my face, making my eyebrows furrowed. I open my eyes and the face of Ean is the first one that greets me. He meows softly and licks my face with his slimy rough tongue. I smile and rub my face on his fluffy fur in a slow manner, making him purr in return.

"Good morning, Ean."

I look at my side,watching Reed and Matthew sleeping peacefully which is an unusual sight. I rub their heads and smile. But that smile didn't last long and vanish immediately like it never happened. I get up from my bed and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

The door beside my room opens and there comes Hera, looking very haggard. Her bed hair sticks in every direction and a string of saliva runs down from her mouth.

She looks awful. Trust me.

"Good morning, Miley." She says, yawning between her words and rub her eyes. I grab her hand,stopping her from rubbing further.

"Good morning," I reply weakly.

Ean suddenly jumps to the counter and stares at me.

Hard.

It's really uncomfortable, and I don't know why, but his stares today are different. Not the loving one, it's more like a worried and dead serious look.

I smile at him but he remain unfaze. I was surprised by his change of attitude since he is not like this.

He jumps towards the floor and run towards the open door on the kitchen. Looking for mice, I guess.

"So, how's your bruise?"

I open my shirt and good thing, the medicine worked. My wound looks like it's slowly healing. It's still painful but not too much anymore. But the purplish color is still there and I cringe in disdain at the sight that can stay up there for more days before it will vanish completely.

"Okay? And how about your...sleep?"

"Good."

She walks to me and taps my shoulder.

"No,it's not. I know because you looked horrible!"

If you can tell then why do you have to ask?

I know I really look like a walking zombie right now. I'm being paranoid too. What if the dognap thingy or even catnap or those words really exist will happen to the others? I can't let that happen! I'll die out of grief!

Wait, they must be together last night! Finding something. But they went separate ways, and now that Jiro is gone,they must be scared. That's why they huddled together on my bed yesterday.

It must be?

Or not.

After cooking, I called their names and gave them their food.

Reed runs and jumps at me, trying to cheer me up with his adorable face,looking so cheerful as always. I let out a smile and hug him. He barks and licks my face in return.

Matthew snobs me and goes to his food. I pat his head, making him hissed and jumped away from me. Always protective with his food. Its not like I'll take it away from him.

I went outside and looked for Ean, and there he is, under the tree. Looking at his once injured paw.

I sat beside him and gently grab his paw,tracing down the slowly fading scars on his soft pads. I smile weakly and run my fingers through his fur with gentle strokes. Unlike the last time,he didn't purr which is unusual.

"Hey buddy, breakfast is serve."

He let out a low meow and looks at me with a sad and worried adorable cute eyes. I bit my lower lip,trying not to squeal and cuddle him on the spot. I, instead, smile and put him on my lap.

"Is everything alright?"

He looks to the kitchen, watching Reed and Matthew eat their food. He tries to get up, but I keep my hold on him.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

He ignore me. Sadness and jealousy is written in his eyes as he tries to pry his self away from me,hissing a little. I gasp and pout,obvious sadness dancing in my eyes.

"Why are you like that?Wait,are you jealous?"

He suddenly look to the other direction and let out a low meow once again

My eyes widened as I cupped his face and lean a little.

"Are you jealous because you think all of my attention is on Matthew, Reed...and Jiro?"

He meows softly and lowers his eyes as if he understands me or I understand him. It feels weird,but in a nice way. I smiled and hug him very tight,loving the feel of his soft fur on my skin.

He might be suprised because his body tensed up. I rub his body,trying to ease the tension.

"Ean, if you ever think that my attention are only for them or if I will abandon you; it's not true. Because the four of you has a special place in my heart. Ever since my eyes laid on you four, I can't afford to lose any of you because you all are my greatest treasures that I have received in all my life. As long as you and the other guys are here beside me, I will be very contented. Without you guys, I would feel cold and sad. That's what I feel right now, and I would never let anyone take you away from me."

I sighed, remembering my mother.

I'm really a big liar, aren't I? But, I'll try to convince her again when she gets home. And I hope she'll let me keep them. Afterall,I'm lonely and they are my only company. I hope she understands.

My attention went back to Ean when I heard his meow again. His eyes twinkle with adoration and love. He leans closer to lick my lips. I got taken aback, and I don't know why, but something hot went to my cheeks. I look at Ean as his innocent light blue eyes shine under the light,making me want him to kiss me again.

Okay,that sounds creepy but not in a weird way. I mean,pet lovers like me always want some kisses from their pets,right?

Right?!

I just shrug and snuggle on him.

"Ean, you're soooooo cute!!"

After that convo with my adorable little tiger, I went to my room and changed my clothes. Hera screeched downstairs like a singing banshee, calling for me to eat.

"Are you on a diet? How can you find your dog when you haven't eat anything for awhile?"

I walk downstairs and smile at her before going outside.

"Please look after my house, Hera!"

"H-hey, Miley!"

I called some taxi and told him the address of the police station. I look at the scenery outside as I rub my bruise when it pains a bit. I bit my lips nervously and look at the driver.

"Are we there yet?"

"Not yet, maam."

Ugh! I wish I could drive, so I could take Hera's car instead.

I slump back on my seat and close my eyes. After a few turn in the city, we have finally arrive. I went to the counter and told the police of my situation.

"My dog was taken from me. He is a white siberian husky with blue glittering eyes."

The police nods and lists all of what I said.

"Very well, maam. We'll inform you if ever we saw the culprit and your dog." The police smiles gently.

I thank him and went out,sighing. Sitting on a bench,I shove my hair that falls in my face. Oh Jiro, where are you now?

I was lost in my thoughts when a bark broke my trance. I look up and saw a brown dog on the other side of the road with happiness gleaming in his eyes.

Wait, is that Reed?

He barks again and runs to me when I saw a car coming towards his way.
