I run down the sidewalk, heart pounding, grinning with excitement. Finally, some fun, some life.  Some, well, revenge.

As I fly past the people, cars, and buildings, my hair and ears are thrown back with the wind.  I love this feeling.

I find his house and grin, happily.  Finally revenge. I go around the house and see a long ugly broken ladder. So I climb it up onto the roof. Finally. I look around and see the tall chimney, and walking over to it I feel like Santa . Ho ho ho. I think, climbing into the chimney.

Slowly I reach the bottom and my feel hit the ground. I crawl out of the little space, ashes getting all over me. Where could he be? I lick my lips in anticipation.  Probably in his bedroom, it is pretty late out still.

Slowly I stand up and look around. It's a mess and reeks of alcohol.  He drinks too much for my liking.  It's dark, but I can still see since I'm a cat. I see stairs up ahead, so I walk towards them.  I hit something, the stairs I think.

I take a step and rise. Then another. Definitely stairs, I think.  Slowly I ascend up time and when I get to the top I look around real quick to get a sense of where I am. I feel a door up ahead. Probably a bedroom door. I suddenly feel my watch and it starts to ring.

Fear. I can feel it. It's not mine though. It's Bobs. He's scared. I know it.

"W-w-who's there?" He yells and I hear him walk to the door.

Big mistake. And my grin grows impossibly wide.  Then a click. The bastard locked the door!! Oh well, more fun for me!

"Open the door Bobby~" I coo to the door.

"Stop! I have a gun!" He whimpers. "I'm not afraid to shoot!"

"Ohh don't do that! It's less fun for me~~" I grin. "Besssidess I wanna have some fun first."

I teleport into the room and he screams.  Perfect.  I pin him down against the floor, my legs around his torso and my hands on his.

"You've been a bother to one of my friends, the names Alice..." I whisper into his ear.  "I've never liked bullies..."

I lick my lips and feel his fear.  He's shaking.  I love it. 

"P-please! I won't do it again! Let me go!" Bob cries.

"Fine, but first," I take out my knife and he screams.  I lightly drag it across his neck, engraving a C in it.

"This is your last chance." I sat, before teleporting back into the tower.

Slowly I get up. Last night was so much fun.  But I groan because it wore me out. I need something to eat.  I walk into the kitchen and hear the TV buzzing.

"Last night a civilian named Bob claimed he was attacked.  He does not want his last name to be known.  He claimed a creature with cat like features broke into his house, threatened him, and left.  The police find no evidence except the victims neck has a C carved into it.  Bob is at a local hospital and will be admitted to a mental hospital until further notice.-"

I turn off the TV.  And Steve stares at me.

"What was that about?" I ask.

"Not sure, but I find it interesting...." He takes a sip of his coffee. 

Is he on to me? Shit. I hope not.

"Cat like features... that sounds a bit like you doesn't it..?" He asks eyeing me.

"Could be anyone.  Plus they said he may be crazy, so who knows." 

He narrows his eyes and sighs. 

"Ok then, well I'm going to the training roo-"

"Ok! Let's go!" I grab his arm and run off to the room.

"H-hey! Let go!" He yells and I do.

"Sorry, I'm just excited!"

He sighs. What is with people and sighing?!

"Ok ok, let's go." He says and I grin my wide grin, making him take a step back.

"How can you do that?" He asks and I start to walk towards the door.

"Huh, good question. It's just like how you smile I guess......" with that I push open the door.

It is so nice in here. I inhale through my nose. It smells like a new car.  How often do they clean this place?  I look around.  Punching bags line the wall.  A large glass window allows me to look outside at the city below us.  A few tread mills and some weights.  Dang.

"I know it's clean in here." Steve says, shocking me.

"Oh shoot! I forgot you came!" I cry out and he laughs.

Steve's POV

"Oh shoot! I forgot you came!" She yells and I laugh.

How did she forget?  Oh well.  I head over to one of the punching bags, leaving Chess to do her own thing.  I put on some grey gloves and hit the bag.

One, two, three, four...I keep going until I feel like death is sitting next to me.  And turn around. Cheshire is still standing there, but staring at me.

"Want some help?" I ask and she turns away.  Guess not.  I turn around to keep punching.  Suddenly I hear a loud thud.  I whip around.

Cheshire's not there! Where is sh-EEEEE!!" I yell out as she lands in front of me.

He body is close to mine, and if I crouch down or she stands on her toes, we could probably kiss or something.  Not that I'd want to.....

She grins a wide grin and walks away over to the treadmills.  And I give myself a grin. Not a wide one, but a small one.

Hey y'all! I'm so glad I got this updated!  So here's what happened. I had school.  I also got a bi flag!!! I'm sorry it took so long to update.  By the way.. Steve totally wants to kiss her!!
