I grabbed the cat, enthralled by it's bck fur and white duvet and pretty green eyes.
" I-it's so cute, h-how could anyone be afraid of it ?" "
I'm with Melissi here. It's just a cat. I understand you're allergic but no need to make a scene.
" Ah,right ? Because a cat with two tails and a ear piercing is normal ? "
" Hm ?"
Me and Melissi looked closely. We didn't notice at first but he was right. Weird, I should have noticed it earlier but I'm pretty sure I saw only one tail before holding it.
" S-should I exorcise it ?"
" Why immediately jump to exorcism ? Maybe it was just born like that ?"
" Everytime I sleep with this thing in the room, I get nightmares."
" Maybe that's just a you problem and it has nothing to do with it."
" I usually never have nightmares, so I do think it is weird."
" T-there's a first time for everything..."
Suddenly, I was seing a tail behind their back. Was I hallucinating ? Maybe he was right about this cat ?
" Don't you guys feel something in your back, like tails ?"
" N-no, Miss Audrey..."
" You see what I'm saying, this cat makes people see things that aren't there."
" I see, it seems this little fel creates illusions. He doesn't seem aware of it though ?"
" He ? "
" I grabbed it, so I noticed. It is male."
" Anyway, about that room?"
" Are you really glossing over this creature in your hand ?!"
" I think you're overreacting, the worst it did is make me see tails on you guys."
" Easy for you to say, that thing made me saw terrible things."
" Have you consider it's because of how you're talking about it ?"
" I can't win against you girls...Fine, you can use the room, as you long as you handle that thing."
" See, Melissi, we managed to reach an agreement."
She raised up her thumb in response, striking a pose. For someone so timid, she's kinda eccentric.
" S-still, Miss Audrey, w-what are w-we gonna do with it ?"
" Hold on a second, I'm calling Li, she might know more than we do about that weird cat."
She responded to my phone call quite fast.
" Oh my god ! Audrey ?! I was so worried ! Mom told me everything! Are you okay ?! Why haven't you called me if you were fine ?! "
" You're the one who should have told me you were feeling better already and I've never been better. If you're fine now, why didn't you come to school today ?"
" ..."
" Li ?"
" You know, I wanted to apologize. I really thought Mom could do something for you but I was wrong. I shouldn't have just went into it without considering she might not. I also roped you up into something I shouldn't have. Those apostles are my issue and not yours. Also, Mom said I haven't fully recovered yet so I couldn't go today."
" How uncharacteristic of you to apologize and about that apostle thing, you couldn't have predicted that weird woman would have showed when we walked back home."
" A-postles ?"
" Hold on a second ."
" Why are you looking at me like you saw a monster, Melessy ?"
" I-it's nothing..."
She looked to the side, a sad look on her face. This girl is definitely hiding something but one thing at a time. First, this cat.
"Still, I'm sorry."
" It's fine, Li. Even if your Mom couldn't do anything, I'm sure we'll be able to find a solution together."
" Wow, I see mister has become smooth while I was gone. "
She took her breath and composed herself.
" Anyway, why were you calling me for, Audrey ?"
" Well...I wanted to know if you knew some things about a two tailed cat."
" With bck fur ?"
" Yes."
" White duvet ?"
" ....Yes..."
" An ear piercing ?"
" Hold on, don't you know too much ?!"
" Sounds like my cat. Mom brought me one when I was 13 and I always wondered where it went . "
" So you're telling me we potentially have found your cat ?"
" Send me a picture and we'll know for sure."
This girl, even when she's not here she causes trouble.
After sending the picture, I was immediately greeted by the sweating emoji.
Seems like we have hit bullseyes.
" I get it. So this really is your cat ! What a coincidence that it ended up here in school... How did it even escape in the first pce ?"
" Well, when we visited Santa Maria during my middle school days, I came with it in my bag and things happened. Mom doesn't trust me with animals anymore now."
" No kidding ! "
" Could you hold onto it ? I'll come get Caith Sith tomorrow."
" Sure but did you just call it Caith Sith ?"
" My mom told me it's the race name."
" Li, Li, Li, there's no such a thing as a race of cats called Caith Sith and even if it was true, why would you call it it's race name ?"
" I wasn't that creative ..."
" Yeah, I can see that ... Also, why does your mom gives you a Caith Sith as a pet ?! If it's like this, I want a pet dragon."
"You do realize the dragon is more deadly than my cat, right ?"
I hanged up.
" Everything is in order now. So can we use the room now."
" Well, since you're gonna take that cat and honour your deal, it's fine."
" There you go,Melessy. I'll take the little fel with me and give it back to it's owner tomorrow at the same pce. Is that fine for you ?"
" Y-yes. T-thank you so much,Miss Audrey."
They both looked at me like I had something more to say.
" Why are you looking at me like that ?"
" You said you weren't a girl, what's up with that ?"
They said in perfect synchro.
"Sigh... I suppose I can expin it to you guys..."
