Hustle cat love story

Trouble At the Cat Corner

"Well ain't you a happy kitten?" He purrs making my cheeks glow a warning hue of pink. I shrug and walk to the couch, my amazing bread dough couch. Nacht follows behind like a lost puppy we sit together watching movies till we both fall asleep, the calming night comforting me with every breeze.

I wake up, my eyes still closed I reach out for Nacht but nothing is there, I jump up and he's gone. Maybe he's in the bathro... oh there's a note.

"Had to take care of somethin, be back soon kitten ~ Nacht"

When did he write this? Hmm whatever. I walk to the kitchen, dump stupid Mochi his stupid food. I stare down at the overflowing garbage bag. Okay I really need to take these out. I sling the bags over my shoulder and walk across the pavement to the dumpsters. Something feels.. off. I feel a pulse of something. It's strong... fierce... electric..  my mind wonders for a few moments till I realize
"Landry!?" The words escape my mouth. He's never been one that was good at hiding his magic.. but why would he be using it? Unless... oh no.. I burst into a sprint towards the cafe. Oh shit oh shit oh shit! God I hope my legs can carry me fast enough. I turn the corner with my sneakers skitting across the the asphalt to see a horrible scene. Hayes is shaking from inside the cafe with Finley's arms wrapped around him, Reese and Landry are in a defensive position, there magic flaring.. and then there's Graves and Nacht. Both standing tall, giving each other stares that could shatter glass. Where's Mason? I wonder if shes.. Oof! Strong arms wrap around my shoulders and pull me back  forcing me to sit.
"What the!?" I yell out, all of the attention is now at me, accept for graves who is still staring down Nacht.
"Don't get involved Avery, were takin care of this" masons voice is strong and stern. She's too strong, there's no way I can escape her hold.
"Avery!? Why the hell are you here?" Spits Reese. I grunt, a frustrated look on my face. My face turns to Nacht he shares only a couple of concerned glances before putting his full attention back on Graves.
Minutes pass, god what happend? I take more careful looks at Reese and Landry and they look strong but... tired, they don't look like they can fight anymore. That is if they were fighting before.
"I thought I told you to leave" Graves mumbles, his sword in hand.
"Hey, I wasn't bothering ya was I? Just minding my own damn business" Nacht spits his words out, almost hissing them
"You tried to hurt Avery"
"She don't look hurt to me. So why don't ya calm down, yeah?"
What the hell, is this my fault? Well kinda... me and Nacht dating is kinda a problem now that I think about it. I can't take this, I can't let this happen. I watch graves take a few swings at Nacht but he easily dodges. I see a small crushed up can by the trash. Heck yea I can use this. I focus, flinging the can  behind me *WHAM!* it hits Mason square in the face. Uh sorry Mason.. I'll make it up later.
"Tsk!" She growls, releasing her grip and stumbling backward, I jump up. Reese and Landry looking at me with puzzled expressions. I run past them and head straight for Nacht and Graves. I don't want either of them getting hurt. I can't! Neither of them notice me at first.. Nacht looks mad though, at graves. He points his bat, and growls something but I don't know what he said. Before I know it I'm in between them, I can't let them fight each other like this.
"Avery no!" Graves yells, and then it hits me. Nacht's bat jabs into my chest, it knocks me back, swiping the air from my lungs. Nacht stumbles back, his bat hitting the ground. His eyes... stunned. I fall into Graves's arms. I feel cold, so cold.. Graves lifts me up higher and rushes me into the cafe, the others follow. I'm Layed out on the floor. Wincing at first.
"Avery.. this is why.." graves voice trails off. Looking past everyone who's circling around me I see Nacht, he's outside the cafe with a pained expression on his face. He didn't mean to.. I know he didn't...
"Ugh... I'm.. fine" I mutter. I hear some sighs of relief.
"Avery the rust with spread soon.. we must do something." I look down and the rust creeps around my torso, and slowly up my left arm.
"Graves, he didn't mean to.."
"Are you kidding me Avery!? Your trying to forgive that guy!" Reese shouts. God there so impatient.
"He's the only one who can stop the rust.. you have to let me go to him."
The whole cafe argues.. back and forth for at least five minutes.
"Fine" his voice is loud and strong. It's Graves. Everyone else's voice falls and they back away.
"Avery, I hope you know what your Doing" he sighs, letting me stand up. I smile back at all of them before leaving the doors. Nacht is leaned against a wall, his eyes closed. Until he hears me, he pears his head and rushed to my side. I wobble and stumble into his arms. He scoops me up, with a calm smile across his face.
"Avery, why'd ya.."
"Its fine, it was my fault you big goof." I chuckle, that's the first time he said my name.. it makes me happy. He grins and places his hand on mine. The rust crumbles and flutters to the floor.
"Better kitten?"
"Better" we smile. I don't care if the other are watching us;  which they probably are. I'm not forgetting this moment. He leans his head down and plants a long,, sweet kiss on my lips. I hear gasps. Lots of them, I don't care. I know it will be hard but maybe I can let them see the good side of him. The side I see him in.
"I love you Avery"
"I love you too Nacht"

The End

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AHHH OMG it's finally over XD I have to address two things though. The first one: yes, I know I called Graves's cat Countess in the other chapters haha. It was an accident for some reason I remembered her name as countess. And two; I forgot that Mochi actually likes wet food. XD let's just pretend he hates it for this story. Anyway hope you enjoyed. More coming!
