Midnight Stars

Dark Nights

As the sun slowly drifted down, I felt the darkness rise upon my eyes, as I made my way back home from the shore, I felt as though I was being watched, as I turned around there was a kitten, white as snow, with tiny legs stamping behind me a few feet, I knew that it had been all alone with no family because I have seen it before, walking down the streets, but today it would have a family. I took the kitten in and brought it to my house, I then named it Snow, since it's fur was white as snow, it searched the house, in every corner, every twist and turn, until it reached my room and then it jumped onto the bed barley making it without falling, and curled up in a ball and fell fast asleep. The next morning the alarm clock beamed 6:30 a.m, I'm going to be late! Today I have work and there was no time to spare, so I quickly threw on some clothes and then was about to run out the door and then realized the kitten laying on the bed still asleep, should I leave her or should I take her? No time to think so I quickly grabbed Snow and put her in my purse.

As soon as I arrived at work, the boss was standing at the door, "I've been waiting" she said with a stern voice, "sorry, I-", "no time for excuses" she said, "get to work on time next time", so I quickly ran into my office, then all of a sudden I herd a meowing and looked down into my purse, "oh I forgot about you little guy" I said, Snow meowed in reply, well I better get to work.

7 hours later I returned home, as I pulled up in the drive way I noticed something was off, I slowly walked up to the door and opened it, "it's not locked, and I locked it this morning" I said to myself, "hello, is anyone here?" I said as I slowly made my way inside, and their it was......a place I used to call home......but now I shall call it The Dump, there was trash and stuff thrown everywhere and to my surprise in the corner was a tall, buff, figure, with black hair, standing back facing me, "who are you??? I'm calling the police!!" I said with panic, but I got no answer, "get out of my house!!!" I yelled, and the figure slowly turned around, I quickly grabbed and umbrella standing by the door for a weapon, and the figure was holding something, and that something was a gun, pointed right at my head.
