The next time I woke up was because the cat was scratching around. I looked around. I really had to use the bathroom. I had the bright idea that the kitty might have to go too. I unlocked the kitten's cage very quietly, then I left the car. I don't know where we stopped, but there were no lights. Like anywhere. So I walked behind the car and set the kitten down. "Stay put." I did my business and looked to where I'd set the cat.
She wasn't there. Ughh, okay. "Here kitty kitty," I said as I made a few clicking sounds with my tongue. Well now the hunt begins. "Maybe I should've brought my flashlight." I thought aloud. "Yes. That might've been smart." A voice in the dark responded. I jumped. "Wh.. who's there?"
"Don't you recognize my voice?"
"Maybe it would help if you hadn't left for the first ten years of my life."
"So you do recognize me?"
"It's kind of hard not to recognize the voice of the man who had left me and my sister at 4 and 8. We were kids. You're a jerk."
"I am balanced. With your mother. Or at least I was, before you!"
"It's not my fault you two screwed up your future. But it didn't have to be balanced to stay together. I didn't need to be a boy for you to be happy."
"You obviously don't understand what kind of power you harness, I suppose that's good. It'll definitely help while I take care of you."Feeling threatened as I was, I backed up and felt my body start to glow with heat. After a moment I realized I was literally glowing, but it wasn't sunny like before. This time it was more like a reflection of soft light. I realized later that that was the moon part coming out in me.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
With the glow I could now see more, he was holding kitty. I started getting extremely angry and nearly yelled, "Give her back!"
"Come with me and extinguish your powers, then I might not hurt her. Might."Reluctantly, I put out my lights and followed him, slowly and cautiously. I could feel his happiness radiating through the air. I followed the sound of his footsteps, until they stopped, then I heard a door open and lights turned on. I prepared to get in the front but his vengeful self stopped me and pointed to the rear, basically the trunk. I shook my head and he grabbed my wrist and pushed me in. He forced a bracelet on my wrist and had his hand around my neck.
"Now that you're with me, good luck finding your sister or your mom again." He grinned, a maniac like, psychopath grin. That's when the panic started to flood in.
