Lost Kitten [Completed]

Death

"I think you choose the second path..." I said unsure of myself or my answer.

"Well not at first. Would you like to know what was the first thing I did?" She asked, I nodded so she continued, "I locked my self in my room until the landlord kicked me out." She laughed, I just sat there confused to why she found this so funny and why the landlord had to kick her out. 

"W-why did the landlord have to kick you out?" I asked nervously, starting to get scared again.

"Because I killed my dad," she laughed out, I quickly backed away from her and accidentally fell off the bed. Landing on my butt with a dull thud. She laughed louder, 'She's insane!' I Thought, starting to feel unsafe. "Would you like to know why?" Meza asked grinning like a mad man. I nodded, thinking that she might've had a good reason, that would justify killing one's own father. "Well," she immediately stopped laughing and her face turned serous, "he was abusing my  mother and me, then- when I was six- he killed my mom. I watched him close his hands around her neck as her face turned a small shade of blue. Her last words were, 'Don't hurt her...', but I guess she got her wish because he didn't hurt me but I sure hurt him!" She started laughing again, because some how killing your father was a laughing matter.

"When did you start working for Keecho?" I asked nervously.

"Hmm, let's see..." She thought, counting on her fingers, "I started to half work for him when I was fifteen, but I still had another job guarding a strip club. It wasn't until the owner was caught dealing narcotics, that I joined him full time. And now I've been doing work for him for 10 years or so. I've thought about leaving, but him giving me this job was the best job I've ever had and I doubt I could find a more perfect job." Meza exclaimed happily, like she hasn't had anyone to talk to about this.

"What do you exactly do for him?" I nervously asked, looking down and playing with my fingernails. 

She took a moment to think than answered, "Well if a fish tank's dirty to clean it, so just consider me that cleaner." I didn't understand it, but I really didn't want to know with the way she phrased it. "That's all I wanted to tell you so just think about which path you want to take and either way I will support you and help you with anything you need. So don't be afraid to ask. Have a good day, I'll call Keecho back in too." Meza said, before getting off the bed and leaving me there on the cold floor, for I was too shocked with the turn of events that had unfolded.

"What'cha talk about?" Keecho asked coming back into the room. I was still in a daze, so I didn't answer or even hear him. "Hey, Earth to Yoru. Hello? Are you even listening?" He asked waving a hand back and forth in front of my face.

"I want to continue to work in the field with you!" I exclaimed suddenly, surprising Keecho who was picking me up to set me back on the bed, but almost dropped me back on the floor.

"Are you sure?" He asked, setting me down. I nodded quickly, so quickly that I started to feel a little lightheaded. "Well, if that's what you want. Then who am I to stop you."

"Thank you!" I exclaimed happily, tackling him in a hug. "What's my first assignment?" I said sitting up straight and saluting him. 

"To sleep, now good night. It's late out." He kissed my head then started towards the door.

"Please... please stay with me... I don't want more nightmares." I pleaded silently.

"Sure, would you like me to get in the bed with you?" Keecho ask sincerely, genuinely concerned for me. I nodded and he took off his tie, shirt, and belt then crawled in with me, engulfing me in his arms. I snuggled back into to him, making myself comfy as he petted my ears- I let out a pleased purr at that action.
