Ebony POV

I sighed, walking up a hill with Marlon, Fuzzy and Izzy. I'm still worn out by those mind control things, but Marlon said I must thank some rat. I'm not thanking some rat for saving my life, even if she's older than me and human now.

My eyes spotted an old wooden house with a beautiful view of the city and a lake beside it. Marlon knocked on the door with a proud smile.

My teeth sharpened at her as soon as she opened the door. She raised her eyebrow, looking at me. "Hungry?" she glared.

"Look, I'm thankful for you and saving me and all but that doesn't mean you are still a little delicious...-"

Marlon covered my drooling mouth. "I'm sorry, mam" he said, glaring at me.

Izzy gave her a mug she made from clay. "Thank you for bringing back Ebony" she smiled softly.

"Awe...such a sweet child, otherwise than this devil" Ms. Whiskers smiled innocently.

"You little!-"

Marlon grabbed me before I could beat the crap out of her. We went inside and sat around the dinning table. The house looked nice actually and peaceful. There were pictures of her and a little boy around us.

"Cookies?" she chuckled.

I took one from her and looked at her angrily. I took a bite and suddenly wanted more. Marlon and Fuzzy laughed at me stuffing my mouth with the cookies.

I noticed a squeaky toy laying on the floor. "You are not the only one living ago here, huh?" I asked with the cookies in my mouth.

"No. I have a nice boy-"

A boy with dirty blonde hair and golden brown eyes interrupted us with his soaked self and heavily breathing. "I couldn't catch the chicken, Grandma!" he wined.

We looked up at his hair and noticed a pair of dog ears then looked down at his tail drooping.

He trembled, staring at us then growled at me and Izzy. "Why are cats here?" he asked angrily.

"Why are you here?" I shot back at him.

"I live here!"

Ms. Whiskers patted his shoulder. "Charlie, there are guests here. Be nice" she sighed.

"But...Grandma" he frowned.

He stood before us then looked at his soaking wet clothes. "I'm Charlie, nice to meet you all-" he paused and looked at Fuzzy. "Hi" he said in a shaky tone.

"Hi" she smiled softly.

I sat closer to Fuzzy then glared at him. "She's young"

He blushed. "Wha-I didn't mean that. I was just..."

Fuzzy blinked. "Huh?"

Marlon smirked, looking at me. "What's wrong if he likes her?"

"Shut up, human"

"Are you two married?" Mrs. Whiskers asked all of a sudden.

"No!" I exclaimed.

"That's sad" she shook her head.

"Shut up, sewage rat!" I screamed angrily.

~🐈~

Charlie showed us around the hill. We awed and cheered looked at the different places. He was getting too close to Fuzzy so I placed my body between them. He groaned, glaring at me. "I'm not doing anything. I just want her as a friend"

"That's what they all say. Fuzzy ignore him" I said, folding my arms.

As soon as I blinked, she ran to him at amazing speed then scratched behind his ear. "He's adorable!" she giggled, drooling extremely.

"I'm not adorable," he pouted then stuck out his tongue when she scratched behind both of his ears. "this feels good" he giggled.

Marlon suddenly started rubbing my head. I purred then ran away from him.

"You like it!" he laughed.

"Stupid!" I screamed.

Marlon smiled proudly, patting Charlie's back. "You go to school?"

"No, sir" Charlie smiled nervously. "I like working on the little farm to help my grandmother" he smiled to himself.

"You need to be educated too" Marlon said and Charlie nodded.

Fuzzy smiled proudly. "You can come to my school!"

"No!" I shook her.

"Okay" he laughed.

"No!" I glared at him.

Marlon smiled evilly and laughed at me. I'll destroy him!
