This is how I picture the attic, if the description below is unclear or you just don't feel like reading about what it looks like. If something in the image is unclear, please comment and I'll reply and fix it! Thanks!~

Jess's P.O.V

I woke up shaking.

When did I fall asleep?

I ignore the thought. I need to be more careful, what if they do something to me while I'm sleeping?

What if they already did?

I shiver at the thought. What if they drugged me or something? I tried calming myself down a bit when another thought popped into my head.

Are they actually my parents?

If I have amnesia I wouldn't know for sure, but by the way they were acting earlier, you'd think I'd arrived in a  package or something. I try to think of something about myself to see if I actually can't remember anything.

'What's my name?'

...

'How old am I?'

...

'Ok, lets see... where do I actually live?'

...

I can't think of any answers to these questions. When I ask myself, my mind freezes and goes completely empty, and stays like that until I change the subject. Will I ever find out who I am?  What's my actual name? They said sonething about 'Kitten' being my new name, but why? Are they really my parents? What did they mean by they 'saved me'? Wha-

My thoughts are interrupted by the creaking of the attic ladder. I freeze in place. I start shaking uncontrollably. Lion walks up and grabs something from the bottom of the ladder, as if someone was handing it up to him. It appears to be a small round table. Its made of dark wood and has three rounded legs that get smaller as they reach the bottom. There are carved designs on all the legs except one.

Lion manages to get it up the ladder and moves it to the opposite side that my bed it, and leaves it. He then walks back over and one-by-one, pulls up three chairs and moves them to the table. He walks over to pull up one last thing: a decorative rug. Tiger then walks up the stairs and whispers in Lion's ear. They then get to work reorganizing the furniture. They have the table on top of the rug as well as the chairs. The chairs make a triangle around the table.

The chairs are also made of dark wood, they have a light colored cushion on the seat and an open back on the chair. The legs are the same as the table, but all four have designs on all of them, except one, which has no designs at all.

On the wall behind the table, I notice a small kitchen area that wasn't there before.

So they were up here last night.

I shiver at the thought, and continue to watch them work. They added a vase of flowers as a center piece, the vase has a wide bottom and then slowly rounded up to a thin neck until it sprouted up at the top. The flowers in the vase were white roses, which matched the color of the vase.

In the small kitchen area, there was a white fridge, an oven to the right, and some cabinets to the right of the stove, and to the left of the fridge. There was a microwave above the oven and a small pantry to the right of the cabinets by the oven. Lion started setting the table while Tiger started cooking.

I was very confused at this point. Thoughts ran through my head, making another tornado. Did they know I was awake? Did they forget I was here? Why is there a kitchen and dining room up here? Why are they cooking food?
