Cats And Dogs [Cashby]

4.

[Alan]

I wake up in a well sunlit room under a thin cover. I glance around in a panic, the walls are white, there's a nightstand on either side of the bed, there's an open door to a bathroom, and just about everything is white.

I swing my legs over the side of the bed and yell Austin's name. I'm beyond mad that, one, he drugged me and, two, he brought me here. I was doing just fine on my own.

In a second he's standing in the, now open, doorway.

"I'm going to claw your eyes out," I growl, standing up.

The second I stand I feel dizzy and he manages to move and catch me right before I hit the ground.

"Whoa there kitty cat, might wanna calm down, don't need you getting hurt," he says setting me back on the bed.

Right as he goes to move away, I grab him by the arm, digging my claws in.

"Don't make me drug you again," he threatens, glaring at me.

I move my hands away from him and he gives me a satisfied smile.

"Now then, let's go introduce you," he says.

I stand up and follow him out of the room cautiously

We walk out into the hallway and it turns out this house, or whatever it is, is huge.

I trail behind as we walk out into a living room where two boys are sitting, bickering over the TV remote.

"Kellin, Alex," Austin says, getting their attention and pointing each one out. Both their ears perk up at the sight of me. Kellin has black ears and tail to match his hair color, but as for Alex he has calico hears and tail that don't completely match his sand colored hair.

Austin clears his throat, "This is Alan."

My ears slowly rise up so they're not hidden by my hair and they both smile at me.

"Where's Tay?" Austin asks, glancing around.

"Upstairs, she's having another one of her mood swings," Alex says.

Austin sighs and I follow as he starts to walk again. We walk up a flight of stairs that led into a kitchen where a very pregnant looking girl was sat on the counter, eating a stick of celery while looking at her phone.

"What are you doing?" Austin asks.

"What does it look like?" She replies, looking up.

She looks at me and her ears fall down into her hair and the tip of her tail twitches.

"How did you even get up there?" Austin asks.

"Lynn helped me before she left. Now who's this?"

"This is Alan, he's going to be staying here for a bit," Austin says.

Tay sighs, before setting her phone down and motioning for help getting off the counter. Austin helps her and she walks over me with her hands on her back.

Her ears pop up out of her hair and her tail begins to rise and sway through the air.

"Anyway, where's Lynn?" Austin asks.

"Out," Tay says simply.

"Shouldn't she be here helping you?"

Tay sighs, letting her head fall to the side and her ears fall safely into her dark hair.

"I may have snapped at her."

"Why?"

"Well we were arguing because of something and then if transitioned to her being mad about me being pregnant, because, well you know, and so on and so forth," she explains, before walking over to the stairs. She stops at the top, gripping the railing and taking a deep breath.

"Are you ok Tay?" Austin asks, a worried look washing over his features.

"Yeah, she's just kicking that's all," Tay replies.

"Do you need help downstairs?" Austin asks.

There's a sudden door opening somewhere below and running footsteps, before a girl with brown hair, that's shaved on each side and currently pulled up into a bun, and ears and tail to match runs up the stairs.

She reaches the top stair and tries to stop, but ends up slipping and falling flat on her butt.

Tay covers her mouth to hide a smile and Austin stifles a laugh and helps her up.

"Cats," Austin's mutters, earning a glare from all three of us. "But anyway Lynn, Alan, Alan, Lynn," he adds pointing us out to each other.

Lynn takes a long look at me, eyes raking over me, my ears fall down into my hair

After an almost unbearable long silence, she finally speaks, "Sup."

I wave in response and she walks over to Tay and stands behind her. She wraps her arms around Tay's midsection, resting her hands on Tay's bump and resting her head on the others shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Lynn mutters. "I know I agreed to forgive you and I don't know what came over me."

Tay nods.

Lynn grabs Tay's hand and helps her down the stairs.

Wow I've been here for a half hour and there's already a ton of drama. This is a lot of drama for four cats and a dog.

"Yeah so this has been great, but I better get going." I start to walk away, but not before I feel a tight hand grip my shirt holding me back.

"You're not leaving," he says.

I flip around and go to bite his arm, but he moves too quickly and I miss.

"Bad kitty," Austin taunts, boping my nose and earning a growl in response.

I move away from him and go to run, but not before I'm grabbed by the shirt and with the opening of a drawer and a sharp pain in my neck I feel myself get dizzy and unbearably tired.

I hiss and growl as he picks me up, but very soon find myself unable to move and my eyelids heavier than ever.

I don't know is Lynn and Tay is even a relevant thing, but it sounds kinda cute so here it is.
