Chapter 1

You: In a world full of Nekos and Vampires the last Thing Phil had been concerned with was being abandoned by his mother. But as his ears pressed into his hair with fear and he shook from the cold, he realized he was alone. He sat on the side of the street, his tail by his side. The only thing that kept him warm at the time. He soon passed out, ether from the cold or hunger. He awoke in a strange place, the only thing he knew was the smell. He was in a vampires home. He whimpered and he curled up with himself on the floor under a blanket. He had no idea where he was or where the Vampires he smelled were, until A tall pale male came into the room he was in. He had Dark brown hair and a hint of brown behind his reddish eyes.

Stranger: Dan sighed as he walked into his living room and started looking for his sketchpad. His eyes widened when he heard a noise behind him and spun around, seeing a boy that looked a little younger than himself curled up in the corner. He had dark black hair and ears and a thin tail that was frozen midair, and he could feel the boy's sharp cerulean eyes trained on him, cold with fear. The brunette sighed again, he didn't really like it when his family brought in random nekos without even telling him. "Father?" he yelled, directing his voice to the upper level of their residence. "Who's this?"

You: Phil gripped the blanket, he wasn't common with Vampires. His mother wouldn't let him go near any. His ears were pressed to the top of his head when the vampire started yelling. He herd someone coming down stairs and into the room. "Oh, he's awake. This boy was left on the side of the rode, I couldn't let him freeze to death out there. I'm not sure what his name is, he was passed out when I found him". The man said, then looked at Phil. "What's your name". He said in a gentle tone. "P-Phil". He stuttered, still scared out of his mind.

Stranger: Dan rolled his eyes at the shaky boy called Phil. He looked scared out of his mind, really, you'd think he'd never seen a vampire before. "Dan, introduce yourself," his father murmured, glaring at him a bit but then smiling at the neko kid. "I'm Dan," he said exasperatedly. "Have any of you seen my sketchbook, I mean, okay, you can stay or whatever, but if you stole my drawing notebook-"

You: Phil shook his head, "I-I didn't". He said, scared that if he thought Phil did he'd get hurt or something. His mother has told him all Vampires are dangerous, so he's on edge. He tried taking deep breaths to settle down, if then wanted to kill him they would have already right? "I haven't seen it". He said, of course he hasn't he only just woke up. He just wanted to go home, if it was even his home anymore.

Stranger: Dan heaved a sigh and started to turn around to go back upstairs because this was all so stupid and useless, but he felt a hand tugging him back on his shoulder. His father was making him stay to talk to the kid? "Do you have someplace we can take you, a parent or a sibling?" his dad asked gently. Of course he was being gentle, the kid's eyes were practically bugging out of his head and he looked like someone had set him on vibrate. Dan crossed his arms on his chest and waited impatiently for an answer.

You: Phil thought for a moment, he was almost sure his mother left him for a reason. And to show up back home would be the worst thing he could do, he didn't know where he would go. Maybe he'll have to be homeless. He shook his head, he already felt weird being here. Already someone doesn't like him, Dan was it. Phil could feel it. He doesn't know when he should leave, on top of being scared now he has to worry about where he's going to sleep.

Stranger: Dan saw the boy slowly shake his head and felt a bit sorry. Only a bit. Thousands of people got rejected because they were an odd offspring, often kids were dropped off in some sketchy corner of their town to either make the best of it or die. Usually it was dying, and that's why 'the new world' had to have sweepers who sweeped the roads, not just for leaves during autumn. 'The new world' started when a pill was passed out universally that was supposedly supposed to replace all needed vaccinations. It was a bit expensive, but it had undergo testing and nothing seemed to be the matter. It would be the cure to many problems. But there was a flaw, something that nobody really understood. Scientists had said that the pill had chemicals that altered people's cells and DNA but mended it back together so that nothing was missing. People got extra additions to their cells, and nothing bad really happened, but the only thing that did happen was that some people got their DNA altered so that their skin was a bit darker, but some people got it altered to the point that they had ears sprouting from their head and tails growing from the end of their spinal cord. Dan brushed his hair behind his ear, remembering how sometimes the cell alteration skipped a generation. Was this kid, Phil, abandoned because of how he resembled a cat?
