St. Hashiro

The Cat

   "That explains why you spoke Russian in my dream!" exclaimed Asami. "You were warning me!" Sister Oana seemed confused.

  "But, what does it mean? 'Death is upon us.' Hmm, what is going to kill us?" thought Sister Oana out loud. 

   "The cult maybe?" said Asami nervously. Sister Oana got nervous.

  "I hope not," said Sister Oana. The doors to the pews opened and a nun with almost black eyes looked at Oana and Asami.

  "Sister, come to the pews, we must pray immediately!" said the nun. Asami looked puzzled. 

  "Sister Oana, you said that this place is empty all the time," said Asami. Sister Oana seemed as confused as Asami. The nun smiled.

  "What a beautfiul name, Sister," said the nun. Sister Oana smiled back.

  "Thank you," said Oana.  The nun stopped smilling and looked at Asami. 

  "My dear, you should leave. The evil from the cult will spread across the town unless we pray here in the church, so please stay away from here for your own safety," said the nun gravely. Another nun appeared by her.

  "Sister Bella, are you coming?" asked the other nun. 

  "Yes, Sister Rose," said Sister Bella. "Sister, please come pray with us." She beckoned Oana to come. Asami gave a quick wave and left as Sister Oana headed into the pews with Sister Bella and Sister Rose. 

  Terrie walked around her block. She was bored and didn't know what else to do. 

   "Hm, I wanna go to the woods, but with those cult people around, it sounds scary," thought Terrie.  Terrie shrugs her shoulders, and takes a path leading there. She hummed to herself, as the wind blew gently. The sky was not as cloudy as it was earlier, in fact the sun was starting to appear. Terrie smiled, as she was glad the dark clouds were gone now. She got close to the entrance of the woods. Terrie then jumped, as something rubbed up on her leg from behind. She turned around only to see a black cat looking up at her. It had a red mark over its right eye. It's eyes were bright green. 

  "Meow," said the cat. Terrie smiled. She looked at to see if it had a collar but there was nothing there.

  "No family huh? Well, I'm going to go into the woods, if you want to follow," said Terrie. She walked a little on the path into the woods and turned. The cat wasn't following her, it just sat there. Terrie walked up to the cat and put her hands on her hips. She then decides to pick up the cat. The cat meowed and she began to walk in the woods. It hissed loudly as she walked into the woods. Terrie looked at it, and then the trees around them. 

  "Maybe we should go home, it's 4:35, and you seem afraid of these woods...I am too.." said Terrie. She walked out of the woods and headed to her house. She opened the door and walked in holding the cat. Carrie, who was sitting on the dark blue sofa watching TV, looked at Terrie. 

  "Aw, what a cute kitty!" said Carrie, smiling. The cat began to purr in Terrie's arms. Terrie sat down with the cat on her lap.

  "We need to get stuff for this cat if we're gonna keep it," said Terrie. 

  "I could head down to the market," said Carrie, as she got up. 

  "It's ok, I'll go!" said Terrie. She walked to the door. "Wait, I have a question, what's the name of your friend?" Carrie looked at Terrie.

  "Her name's Miyuki, why?" asked Carrie.

  "You just haven't told me yet. Miyuki sounds like a lovely name," said Terrie. The cat's ears perked at the name Miyuki and it hopped onto Carrie's lap. Carrie smiled and Terrie left.
