To Capture a Heart

Chapter 5

Munkustrap had noticed me and Coricopat and smiled at us both. "It's nice to see that you're getting use to things here, i see that you've grown a liking to Coricopat here," he said happily. I smiled and nodded, nuzzling my head on Coricopat's shoulder. Coricopat chuckled and nuzzled his head on top of mine. I smiled happily. It was the first time i actually felt love since my owner died.

Munkustrap ordered everyone to go to their dens to rest up tonight and tomorrow morning for tomorrow night's Ball. Me and Coricopat soon parted ways once all the other cats had left to the dens. I looked up at him and smiled, he looked down at me and smiled back, absolute love in his eyes. "Guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow night?" i said, I couldn't keep my eyes off of him, our eyes were locked and i couldn't look away. "Tomorrow night, I'll see you there, save your first dance for me?" he asked, hope in his voice. "Only you," i said happily. He leaned down and nuzzled his head on my head and neck. I nuzzled my head on his, he leaned down to my lips and lightly pecked them. He stared into my eyes, smiling. "See you tomorrow night," he started to walk backwards as did I, not wanting to break eye contact. We waved at eachother one last time before walking into the dens.

When I walked in I was met with a happy looking Tantomile. "I know you'll treat him well," she nuzzled her head on mine and went over to the cushions to sleep. I smiled and went over to my cousion and laid down. Thinking of Coricopat.

It was now morning but i couldn't get back to sleep, i'm so used to getting up early in a morning to get food and water. I sat up and looked around, everyone was still asleep, as expected. I slowly made my way out of the den, i didn't want to be stuck in the den bored out of my mind. When i walked out, I was shocked to see Coricopat there, especially without Tantomile. I slowly made my way up to him. "Coricopat..? Are you okay?" I asked, concerned. He turned his head to face  me and a soft smile appeared on his face. "I'm perfectly fine, my dear," he said, his voice soft and gentle. I sat next to him. "Why are you up? Isn't the Jellical Ball tonight?" I asked, curious. He chuckled and looked at me, "I should ask you the same thing, Y/N," He chuckled. I giggled, "I couldn't sleep, I'm just so used to getting up early in the morning, since...my owner died.." I looked down in sorrow. He looked at me, sympathy in his eyes. "I'm so sorry, so does this mean you have no place to go?" he asked, standing in front of me. I nodded, still looking at the ground. He moved his tail under my chin, making me look at him, I had tears in my eyes and I could see the worry in his. "After the Jellical Ball you can come live with me and Tantomile, I'm sure our owner would love to have you," he smiled down at me. I looked up at him, shocked. "R-Really...?" my voice was a little shaky, signalling I was about to cry. He nodded and placed his poor on my face, wiping my tears away. "We'll take good care of you," he locked his eyes with mine. I smiled and nodded, repeating the words 'Thank you' over and over again. I was so happy that someone was actually willing to take me in, just like my owner did when I was a kitten. He chuckled and nuzzled his head on top of mine as i nuzzled my head on his chest.

A few minutes had passed, me and Coricopat were just chatting and getting to know eachother. I told him about my passed and the time i refused to leave my owner's grave, and he told me about him and Tantomile being mystical witch cats and that their owner was a witch, i looked at him in awe when he told me. He also told me that they were psychic and that they new I was coming, but then he said that he could never of seen me being his mate. I thought it was very sweet, i still remember the day he asked me to be his mate and his dancing partner to the Ball. I just hope that what we have never dies.
