The Things Amoung Us

Chapter 3

[David Elizabeth Strider]

When we got home, John was still sniffing my arm. He didn't know yet that we were cat hybrids. His ears twitched. "D-Do you have cats?" I looked at Dirk not knowing what to say. "No, why?" I asked looking up at him. "You smell like c-cat." He said yawning. "Well I'm not sure what your smellin' buddy but-" I cut myself off picking him up. I pet his ears causing him to fall asleep, quickly. "You need some sleep." I finished my sentence petting him as we walked inside. I took him to my room and layed him on the bed. I left the room and entered the kitchen as Dirk walked in after putting Jake to bed. Dirk yawned and stretched his arms. "Video games?" I asked poking his side causing him to squeak and pull his arms down. "Sure, asshole." He growled picking me up and running into the living room. I squeaked at him when he picked me up. I was 5'0 and Dirk was 5'6 Jake 5'10 and John 5'4. We played video games until we got bored. I layed my head in his lap and let him pet me as I fell asleep. Dirk falling asleep soon after.

[Jake Maria English]

I woke up a few hours and woke up John as well walking into the kitchen. We decided to feed the albinos since neither of them looked like they had eaten properly in a couple of weeks. John came in and sat on the counter. "You n-notice they have bags full of stuff to just up in leave?" I looked at him and raised a eyebrow. "Really? What's in these bags Jonathan?" I said in my english accent. "Well there's week's worth of clothes, food, water, chargers, and money. Lots of it." I raised a eyebrow. "Do you think they plan on leaving?" I asked. "I'm not sure to be honest........ WHAT IF WE ARE WITH A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS OH GOD..." John started to breathe quickly. "What If they only saved us to kill us or sell us." I pet his ears calming him down. "John will you calm you caboose that won't happen as long as I am around. Alright?" He nodded. We walked into the living room and saw them sleeping. Dave had cat ears and a cat tail. "So... We live with hybrid run aways?" I said crossing my arms amused. "This Will Be fun." I smirk getting a idea and putting Dave's beanie on him.

[John Lillith Egbert]

Jake saw the two boys as cat hybrids. I raised a eyebrow at him as he turned around and smirked. "I have a idea, Jonathan." He said his English accent thick while lacing trouble. "What is it? It better not get us kicked out." I mummered. Jake chuckled. "It shouldn't. There is a small possibility that it might though." I sighed. "Okay go on." I said looking up at him. "We should not let them know we know they are cat hybrids and just mess with them." "Likkee?" I drawled out the word. "Cat toys. Yarn. Asking if they have a cat. Scaring them. Etc." I smirked. "Alright let's do it." I agreed. Jake brought out mac and cheese in bowls and set them on the coffee table. Jake poked Dirk's shoulder. "Strider? We made you something to eat." He said softly. Dirk groaned and yawned. "Okay thank you, Jake." He said sleepily. He poked Dave softly and Dave immediately woke up and yawned. "Food." Dirk said yawning. " We have food? What is food? When was the last time I ate? Oh yeah two days ago. Hmm.... food sounds good. Almost as good as sleep but you know what for some reason you have woken me from the depths of my mysterious dreamland to eat. Food. You know the food is going to eat me. Do you want me to be eaten, Dirk? I think you want me to be eaten so you have the two raven haired adorable fluffs of puppy hybrids to yourself. Is that what you want Dirk Marionetta Strider? Is it? Is it?!" Dave sleepily rambled. "Remind me to not wake him next time." Dirk growled pushing Dave off the couch and stretched.

[Dirk Marionetta Strider]

I pushed Dave off the couch earning a yelp in return. I pushed up my shades. "Sorry about him. He rambles." I muttered laying back down on the couch and curling up in a ball. Jake growled and picked me up. "Dork it's time to eat." I squeaked and held onto him tightly. "Holy shit... you scared me." I whimpered. He pet just underneath my hat missing my ears just a bit. "Your okay. It's time to eat though, sweetie." Jake said kissing my forehead causing my face to turn a dark red. I hid my face and he chuckled setting me in his lap as he sat down. He gave me my bowl and I started to eat. I hummed at the food. It tasted so good. I leaned into Jake and closed my eyes finishing the food a bit later. I hadn't eaten in a few days so it felt good to eat again. I usually just forgot. "Dirk you need to eat more your skin and bones." He said rubbing my back feeling my spine stick out a bit. "O-Okay......." I mummered humming at the feeling of him rubbing my back.
