Deal or No Deal?

"Where to now

That we've found the cow?"

"I need to speak to a cat

About a witch

Who will be lucky

If she doesn't end up in a ditch?"

They now stood outside a cave.

There were wolves guarding the door.

"Thank you my friends

Your services are not needed anymore."

The wolves went away

Jasper showed his cat like teeth

Before he did say,

"So you came back?

What have you done with my Ruby?"

"If you want to know

You'll have to come with me."

Billy to say the least was surprised

And Jasper did narrow his eyes.

He looked about to pounce

Ruechari cared not an ounce.

"You think you'll hurt me?

Another has tried, so we'll see."

"What to you mean?"

"I mean I've already played this scene.

Ruby has another like you

and this is what he can do."

I pulled my shirt so he could see

the scars left by the new kitty.

"You're LYING!

How do I know, she's not hurt or dying!"

"Look into my eyes and you will see

There is no pretense, not to me."

Jasper came oh so close

He circled once or twice.

He looked in my eyes

His soul I did entice.

"You are now in my care

And to you this I swear

If your ties you choose to sever

And you help with my next endeavor

You may roam and go free

Be the cat you wish to be

And if you ever do need me

You need only whisper the name

Ruechari."

Billy was a bit unnerved

As Jasper literally purred

"I don't do well on my own.

What I want is your promise of a home."
