Curiosity. That's what it is. That's why I peeked through the other side of the blinds hiding the outside world from me. Or more like hiding me from the outside world. I know it's forbidden and I know he forbids me for my own sake. But yet here I am, letting curiosity get the better of me. Though who can blame me, big brother isn't home so he'll never know. And I'm sure no one will notice me, I am 22 floors up from the busy city below.
I stared mesmerised by the sight I had been longing to see. Though it didn't last long as I quickly realised that we weren't the only building up above the city, as I noticed a person roaming around in the tall, illuminated building opposite. Immediately I threw myself back from the window, the white blinds falling back in to place and once again keeping me hidden.
"Ouch!" I yelped removing my foot off of my soft, black tail and quickly got myself up off the cold wooden floor. Though I couldn't help but feel anything but guilt as I had gone against what my brother had always told me. I should of just listened and ignored that dangerous curiosity of mine.
"I'm such an idiot" I mumbled to myself as I made my way to the to the large grey couch, letting myself fall into the padded cushions. I let out a sigh and it echoed through the empty apartment that I sat all alone in.
Brother had been gone for a few days now, "I'll be back in like a day or two" he had told me as he gave me a quick pat on the head before leaving.
Lier. Lier. LIER! I thought to myself as I clenched onto my legs which were pressed up against my chest. Why does he always do that? I'm fed up of being left alone in this boring, lonely apartment for days on end. Before I could even realise my heated cheeks were covered in my own tears as I hid my face into my legs.
"Kei! I'm finally back, sorry I was gone longer then I said but-"
"NICO!" I jumped off the sofa, running straight to him and clung onto him as tight as I could, though tears still falling down my reddened cheeks
"What's with the crying? Did you fall or something?" He asked as he picked me up and wiped away my tears
"No I- I'm just glad to see you that's all, It was getting kinda lonely y'know. So stop lying to me and telling me you won't be gone long"
"Look I said I'm sorry ok, it's just things come up and they end up taking longer then I expected" he smiled as he placed me back down and ruffled my hair then walked passed me, making his way to his bedroom.
I quickly followed eager to know what he'd been doing the past few days "So the least you can do is tell me what you've been doing then?"
But I wasn't going to get an answer as he shut the door behind him before I could catch up, "Not right now imma get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning ok?"
"Y-yeah ok, have a nice sleep big brother, I'm glad your back" I replied quietly trying to hide the fact I was sad.
"Me too little sis, don't forget to eat dinner now, night"
"Oh yeah I won't, good night" I said as I turned away from his door making my way back over to the sofa. Sitting back down, I was once again alone and my thoughts began to wonder.
Why? Why are you always so cold when you come back. You never share what you do with me, your so secretive. I wished he'd just tell me.
Bored of the silence that once again filled the large apartment, I reached for the remote and began searching for something to watch. I decided to watch some anime on Netflix to help distract myself from how lonely I was feeling right now.
I did this a lot, as you could of guessed I can't exactly just go outside so I spend a lot of my time doing things such as watching TV, drawing, baking etc.
A few hours had passed, I had made myself something to eat and it was early hours of the morning now so I decided that I should get some sleep so I could be up early to spend time with brother. After getting changed in to a top and some pajama shorts I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
As I look up from the sink I'm reminded by the reflection staring back at me of what I am. That I'm not human. I'm just an experiment runaway, right? Yeah, I mean I can't be human anymore, humans don't have cat ears and a tail. I'll probably never leave this place because society doesn't want me. Though I know the government probably want me, I mean I do belong to them but Nico saved me from them and became my older protective brother. I shake my head stopping myself from thinking back to those torturing memory's that are permanently stuck at the back of my mind.
I splash my face with some cold water and put a smile back on my pale face, holding my raven black tail close to me I mumble to myself "There's no reason to worry about the evil government silly, Nico will always protect me"
After reassuring myself I leave the bathroom and return to my room, slowly closing my door behind me. I made my way over to my bed and collapsed into the pile of my stuffed animals. Grabbing my light blue fluffy blanket and covering myself with it as I drifted off into a deep sleep.
A/N Heyy! So I was writing another story that was kinda similar to this but I wasn't sure what to do with it so I started with the idea again and I have many more ideas for this story line then the other. So I hope you like it, and hopefully this will be more successful than the last lmaoo. I'm such a flop omg haha. Though I took the last book down I'm not sure if I should just leave it up anyways? So if anyone wants me to keep it up then I will I guess
Thanks for reading~
