The Little Neko (girlxgirl)

chapter 2

*rylies POV*
I know my new master heard my comment because she gave me an odd look and raised a brow. I just turned away from her and looked put the window.

My new mistress is beautiful, she has blond hair to her shoulder blades and bright green eyes full of childish life. I don't trust it, no matter how they look all masters are the same ad they'll all return me.

After the car ride, which I spent gripping the car set for dear life, my mistress unbuckled me and I jumped out of the car and mentally rejoiced to be safe on the land again.  soon realized everyone was staring at me and I dropped to my knees, bowing m head to my mistress like a good pet should. I cant mess this one up, its m last chance or else they'll shot me the minute I enter the pet store again.

I hear a quiet giggle and sneak a glance at my mistress to see her smiling down on me. 

"its alright Rylie, you don't have to kneel to me." she says but I of course know better than to fall for this little test of hers, she's either really testing my obedience or really wants to have a reason to punish me.

"-new clothes and then we can get to know you. sound good?" mistress asks and I swallow nervously realizing she thought I was listening to her.

"Oh um, yes mistress." I quickly reply, not wanting to make her angry by having to repeat everything she just said. 

"Just call me Claire." she tells me and I nod. "yes mistress Claire."

She and her family soon walked inside ad I took that as my cue to follow them inside, looking around and taking in the scents. Her house smelled nice, like fall time. Claire sat on the couch and I sat on the ground beside her legs like a good neko. 

"You can come onto the couch." Claire tells me but I shake my head, perfectly content here on the floor.

I noticed her family sat on the other couch in the room. There's an older man and woman which I assume are her parents and a boy a bit older than my mistress who looks just like her and I think that's her brother.

"So, Rylie," my mistress says and I look up at her but not into her eyes, "Tell us a it about yourself." 

"Well I'm 17 years old, and I've had three masters before you..." I say unconsciously touching the scar on the back of my ear.  "but don't worry mistress I'll be really good for you so you don't have to get rid of me." 

She just nods giving me a sad look which had me confused, did I upset my mistress already?

"I-I'm sorry mistress I didn't mean to upset you." I quickly apologies and tense when I stutter. I'm not supposed to stutter, it annoys my masters. 

I notice her hand coming towards me and quickly cover my head, waiting for the blow but It never came. instead I got the warm feeling I always get  when someone pets my ears and I start to quietly purr. I realize mistress is petting my ears, she must have forgiven me for my bad behavior.

"I'm sorry for being bad mistress I'm trying to be good, please don't be mad." I beg for her forgiveness with a quiet whimper. How could I have messed up already, I'm such a terrible pet. I fell my eyes start to tear up and open my backpack with my few items in it, pulling out my stuffed rabbit and immediately calming. 

"That's a cute toy, can I see it?" Claire asks my holding open a hand for it. She's going to take my bunny away!

"No its mine! You cant take it!" I say without thinking about what I was saying and quickly shift into my small cat form, hiding under the couch with my rabbit. My breathing picks up as I realized I messed up again already, I didn't mean to yell at mistress now she's going to punish me for it. 

Black dots started to cover my vision and I felt like I couldn't breathe, I could hear mistress calling for me to come out from the couch.

"No I don't want to be punished again. Please mistress ill be a good girl." I beg her, yes neko can talk even in our cat form. "I need my bunny please don't take it away from me." 

My breathing gets more uneven and I know my mistress is saying something to me but I cant make it out as my vision goes fully black and I'm left in silent darkness.
