I look around and see many other neko girls and boys of all ages and body types, crawling on hands and knees. I pinch myself thinking it is a dream or something. Rubbing my eyes I sleepily stand up, only to be beat from behind and shoved to the ground.

 "No standing you animal! Stay on the ground!" I look up to see a man in a brown leather jacket with grey jeans and a mean looking face. "I-i'm... sorry..." I say but he just pushes me over onto my back. "And no talking! Animals don't talk!" He yells at me. The other nekos all turn and look at me and start  looking at each other. I roll over so my face is on the ground and I cry. I feel a soft hand on my shoulder as a little neko boy about the same size as me nudges me trying to see whats wrong. "Are you okay... You are new here right?" He whispers, careful no humans are around. "I'm okay... what is this place..." I mumble weakly. "Your at the neko shop... people buy nekos from here and do whatever they want... Some people are nice but most people are really mean. Some of the other nekos here have been returned for 'disobeying' their 'masters'. Ugh... The humans think they own us or something." He then starts to get teary eyes. "M-my name is Firefly... what's yours?" I ask gently. "My name... I don't remember... I don't think i have one... I've been here for as long as I can remember." He then cries loudly and hugs my arm. I put my other hand on his head and stroke it softly trying to comfort him. "As long as we are here together, i'll be your friend." I smile as his eyes light up and he hugs me tighter. "Thank you... Firefly."

 He looks so cute as he lays down and falls asleep beside me. I then fall asleep shortly after, having terrible nightmares of what owners might do to their nekos.
