Your P.O.V

The metal door of the small stone room I was in rattled and screeched in protest of opening. I look up from the cold ground and see the owner.
"Time to sing pretty kitty." He spat, grabbing my tail. I yowled in protest as he carried me to the dressing room.

"Wear that." He said. His simple orders rang through my ears and he left. I moved to place the dress over my frail shoulders. The slim white fabric laced over my bones. He never fed me much. Only ever an apple and a piece of bread. If I was lucky he would bring some grapes but that was rare.

I frown. My voice hasn't been doing well lately. He's been giving me less water. I might have to be punished again. I can't ponder on that because the owner comes back and drags me to the makeup station.
He pushes me on a chair and starts so tug at my hair. I bite my lip to keep from yowling again. I'll surly get hurt if I do.

The owner kidnapped me off the streets and he's been using me to get people to visit his theater ever since I was eleven. He has been abusing me and not feeding me, only keeping me for my voice. My voice, People come from everywhere to hear the lady in the cat masks voice.
Who is she? They question. Why does she have a mask? What does her face look like? They would never know about what happens to me. To them I'm a celebrity. But I'm actually a caged cat. They would be disappointed if they knew that.

About an hour later he seems satisfied with my looks and pushes me on stage, making sure I hid my cat features I start the song when the low music plays. Swaying from the side of the stage people murmur excitedly. I press my pointer finger to the lips of my black mask and they go silent. I sway from side to side and lean into the music. My voice echoing through the large speakers.

"I learned to live, half a life"

My eyes are probably shining with tears.
I twirl around in the stage and dip to the low notes and raus my arms to the high ones. My tail was clumped uncomfortably under the dress. My ears wanted to pop out and scare the audience half to deth.

"But you want me one more time"

My dancing slows and I twirl slowly. The music stops and I bow. I look up in my mask to see happy people clapping and cheering for me. I smiled. They enjoyed what I did. Singing and dancing brought me to my own little world. I blocked out the real world and went into my own.

The music completely stopped but the  roses kept falling over me. People were throwing flowers and cheering. I smiled and twirl before closing my eyes and picking a single black rose from the large pile. I kiss it and bow once again swaying back off stage.

I gently take the plan black mask off and place it back on the counter.

"YOU STUPID CAT!" The owner yelled furious. "YOU DIDN'T DO YOR BEST! YOUR TAIL SHOWED! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS??? ILL CUT IT OF THE NEXT TIME IT SHOWS!!! THE SAME FOR YOUR PRECIOUS EARS!!!"I cower in the corner in fear as he yanks my tail. I cry silently and he throws me into a room and chains me to a wall. "No food or water for two days!" He yells and slams the rickety door shut. I look up to see the old glass window open a crack. I shifted into my Main Coon cat and laid on the icy ground. I sniffle and cry for what seems like hours.

Sebastian's P.O.V

Young lord has decided to to take Lizzy to the theater. There was going to be a showing of 'the lady in the black mask' singing Jar Of Heart's by Christina Perii.

Right now we were stepping out of the carriage and paying for the tickets. Lizzy was jumping up and down sputtering rumors about 'the lady in the cat mask'. People buzzed around the doors waiting to be seated. Lizzy insisted we brought flowers. I had my gloved hands on a dozen black roses.

We found our seats and settled down. The rest of the audience however, kept a lively buzz. A song began and a frail lady in a white dress glided on stage. She looked bony and the slim dress showed it. She looked unhealthy. Only I could see this due to my demon eyesight. Her black mask resembled a cat with only the bottom part of her mask showed her mouth and slits carved where her shining eyes showed.

She swayed to the song and danced as if she was on clouds. Her voice brought the whole performance to life and showed so much emotion people were crying. Her own eyes watered at the music as she floated across the stage.

My eyes widened and she closed hers. Twirling around, she sang high notes  and she slowed during the end.  Her voice poured emotion into people as they stared at her. She flew into her own world, seemingly not noticing the audience.

Her voice slowed and finally stopped with the final note. Silence stayed for a free moments before the audience gave a standing ovation. They cheered and clapped, throwing flowers to grace her presence. She smiled and twirled around.

Lizzy threw her dozen of flowers to the stage to join the rest. I placed my black roses on stage as the dancer leaned to pick a flower. She spun and  closed her eyes, holding out her hand. Her finger tips brushed across my bouquet of roses.

She smiled and picked a single flower of the twelve. She did a final bow and twirled off of the stage.

The crowed left and gossiped to there family and friends.
Lizzy stayed after gossiping with people until it got dark. She pouted but took Young Masters arm as he led her through crowds. I heard a faint sniffling in an alleyway and told Ciel to go to keep going and that I would catch up soon.

I walked closer to the sniffling and saw a glass window open a crack. Inside the dark room was a multi colored cat chained to a wall. I frowned and pried the window open. The cat looked up in surprise and jumped from the cold stone floor. She purred and rubbed herself on me as much as possible. She didn't want me to leave and I wasn't intending to without her.

I broke the rusty chains and brought the cat to my chest. She purred and pressed her paws to me. She seemed content with where she was and decided to take a nap. I smiled and jumped through the window.
