Amarisa's P.O.V
I open my eyes looking around. I see my wizard sleeping on the couch. I jump off my chair and walk over to him. I jump up onto his legs. I stand in the space between his legs. I slowly climb up onto his stomach and then lay down resting my head on his chest. He is sleeping soundly, his hood is covering his eyes and almost his nose. I hear the door open and I snap my head towards the door and my fur sticks up a little. Who is this? The guy wears a black cloak, covering their face from my view. He then proceeds towards us. I then stand up, stick my fur up and hunching my back up to make me look bigger. I growl and hiss at him. He stops staring at me. I fold my ears back and swing my tail side to side. I dip my tail and head low, growling at this human, this wizard. This person's hand glows towards me and my claws come out. I'm ready to pounce at this wizard.

"Amarisa, calm down." The wizard said. My ears perk up and I stop growling. I tilt my head a little, confused. But once they take a step forward I fold my ears back and growl. I don't care that he knows my name, he's still a threat. I feel Seto move under my paws. The wizard grabs Seto's arm and I claw the wizard's wrist making him let go and grab his wrist.

"Yeah. That's right. I didn't give you permission to touch my wizard. So back off." I thought. 

"Bad Amarisa. Bad kitty." He scolded. I narrow my eyes at this wizard. Only Seto is allowed to scold me, not this human. He reaches towards Seto's shoulder and I step on Seto's shoulder and growl. He stops.

"Have you learned nothing?" I thought.

"What are you doing Amarisa?" Seto thought.

"There's some wizard here, trying to touch you. I'm clawing him." I thought back. Seto sits up slowly making me slide down to his lap. Seto looks at the wizard.

"That's a big cat Seto." The wizard said.

"Who are you?" Seto asks.

"My name is Sean." Sean said.

"Okay." Seto said.

Prince Seto's P.O.V
"Let's take a walk." Sean said. Amarisa jumps off my lap and onto the floor. I fee blood trickle down Sean's left hand.

"Oh um did she-"

"Not to worry." Sean said. He waves his hand over his wrist and the cuts and blood disappear like nothing happened. I stand up. Sean lowers his hood revealing silver eyes, dark brown hair, black cloak, tanned skin, a dark blue tunic, black fingerless gloves, black pants and dark brown boots. We all go outside. "So Jackson told me that you grew up in the mortal world, away from magic." I nod. Amarisa sits down next to my feet.

"Yeah." I said.

"That's very risky. Let my see your wrists." Sean said putting his hands out to me. I look at  them and then at his eyes. "You are arcane?"

"Yes." Sean said. He grabs my wrist suddenly and I hear Amarisa growls. Sean pushes my sleeve down revealing my bandages hands and wrists more. "How much magic have you supplied that mortal King?"

"I didn't give it up by choice." I said. He grips my wrist a little tight. Amarisa hisses at Sean. I see Sean's eyes flicker to Amarisa for a split second.

"No. Of course not." Sean said quietly. He lets go of my wrist. "I assume you are on their side."

"Their being?" I ask.

"Jackson, Mason, Amelia." Sean said.

"Is that bad?" I ask. Sean crosses his arms.

"You barely know anything of the wizard world Seto. There's a reason why them three are still here." Sean said. He uncrosses his arms. "Try to figure out which side you are on and switch to the winning side. Arcane wizards are extremely powerful, they are basically the top dogs. Meaning that you can be easily used by other wizards and mortals as well." Used? Well I have already been used by mortals since I was born. "Do yourself a favor Seto, arcane wizards are better on their own then with other wizards that use them. But do you know who you should pair up with?"

"I bet some cat nip that he thinks it's him." Amarisa thought.

"Let guess, you." I said.

"Yes." Sean said.

"I win!" Amarisa thought.

"Just think about it Seto." Sean said. He then walks away and Amarisa paws my leg.

"I don't have any cat nip." I said.

"Awww dang it. I wanted some." Amarisa thought. I look down at her.

"Tell you what, the next chance I get I will get you some cat nip." I said. Amarisa's head perks up and her tail swings side to side.

"Really?" She thought hopefully.

"Yes." I said. I open back up the door. "I'm going back to sleep." I close behind me and Amarisa walks towards the couch. I lay down on it on my back. I close my eyes and feel weight push down on my chest and open my eyes seeing Amarisa is in a sort of ball on my chest and the couch. I smile a little and rest my arm around her. But then I feel pain sting in my hand. I look at my bandaged hands. Amarisa picks up her hand and looks at my hands. She paws my hand.

"Do they hurt? Shouldn't they be healed by now?" Amarisa thinks. My hands weren't burned. They were stabbed repeatedly by that dumb machine. I get up a little so Amarisa can get off my chest and lay in my lap as I sit up. I pull my sleeves to my elbows and look at my bloodied bandaged hands.

"Do they need to be changed?" A voice asks. I look at the steps seeing Jackson standing there in a tank top and shorts looking at me. It's a little passed the middle of the night. "Let me see your hands." Jackson sits down on the couch and takes one of my hands gently. She gently unwraps the bandage. My hand still looks horrible, there are still some cuts that haven't healed fully. Jackson gently grabs my wrist and puts her other hand on mine. Amarisa's ears perk up. Jackson flattens out my hand and then looks at me. "Yeah they do. I'll be right back." She gets off the couch and I stare at her as she walk up the steps.

"Human emotions are so complicated." Amarisa thought. I look down at Amarisa.

"W-What?" I ask.

"You were just checking her out. I know you were, so don't try to deny it and your emotions spiked when she was touching you." Amarisa thought. I bite down my bottom lip.

"Got them." Jackson said. I look at her.

"There it goes again." Amarisa thought.

"No one asked for your opinion!" I thought back. Jackson sets some gauze and cloth down. She looks at my unbandaged hand.

"Let me clean your hands. They are bloodied." She said. I catch myself staring at her again as she leave. I look at the couch and my cheeks turn a little pink.

"I t-"

"If you say one more thing Amarisa, you can forget the cat nip." I said quietly. She turns her head to me.

"That's cold and vain!" Amarisa thought. I didn't know Jackson was here till she took my uncovered hand and rubs a wet sponge against my skin. I look at her.

"How did this happen if I can ask?" She asks. I look away from her.

"I rather not talk about it." I said. Amarisa jumps out of my lap and on the couch directly behind me.

"Sorry. What's it like having a familiar?" She asks.

"For one they are always in your head. Talking to you. And they can feel your pain and emotions and use some of your spells." I said.

"Cool." Jackson said.

"Sometimes it is, sometimes it's annoying." I said.

"You know you love me." Amarisa thought. Jackson puts a cloth around the palm of my hand and on my wrist ucovering the cuts that are still open. She then puts gauze on my left hand over the cloth.

"I don't know if I could handle having a familiar." Jackson said. She takes my right hand and starts unwrapping it. "But you were given no choice on the matter." She starts to clean my hand. "They can feel your emotions? So Amarisa would be able to tell if you like someone?"

"Yeah and she never shuts up about it either." I thought.

Heeeyyyyyy." Amarisa thought.

"Yeah she could." I said.

"That has to be annoying." She sajd.

"You don't know the half of it." I said.

"You know I'm laying right here." Amarisa thought. She wraps my right hand the same way she wrapped my right.

"There you go. Hopefully your hands will faster." She said. She gets up.

"I bet more cat nip that you stare at her as she leaves." Amarisa thought suddenly.

"I'll see you in the morning Seto. Night." She said.

"Night." I said. I look away from her as she walks up the steps but my eyes steal a glance.

"GOTCHA!" Amarisa thought. I clench my fists a little and groan a little.

"Why don't you go take a cat nap for a few hours?" I ask her.

"Because I love embarrassing you in our mind link." She thought. I pick her up and put her on the floor. I lay on my side on the couch. She jumps up in the space between me and the edge of the cushions and snuggles in against my chest. "Jenna would be jealous your eyeing other girls."

"What? Why would sh-"

"You act the same way around her too." Amarisa thought. I'm tempted to push Amarisa off the couch, but that would be mean and she would stick her claws into me again. I just rest my arm over her and pull my hood down so it is over my eyes. I close my eyes and drift off into darkness.
