Chapter 4 - The Cat
Len's POV
This feeling... It won't leave me. It's like a hunger but no matter how much I eat it won't go away. And whenever it becomes unbearable the cat comes to me. And it looks at me with those huge eyes, I think they are becoming bigger and bigger each time it comes.
And then it says something. It says a lot of things, but the first and last word is always:
PARADICHLOROBENZENE
Last time it said that I should go to Kaito's house. It said that I should take his precious photo album that his mother had left him before she died. It said I should burn it and then show that to Kaito.
And then, the cat finished with 'PARADICHLOROBENZENE" as always.
I did everything it said before. At first, it was easy. Hiding other people's things, putting buckets filled with water on the half-opened doors so it could fall on somebody's head, putting a lot of pepper in their lunch (I like this one)...
Then, the cat demanded to steal their money, make gossips so they would start arguing... This part wasn't easy, but I did it, because the hunger will always disappear when I see their desperate faces.
And it will always return with so much power...
And now, the cat sarted asking for too much. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I decided to stay at my room until the cat stops coming. The hunger became so strong. I felt as if there's a hole in my stomach and it hurts hurts hurts...
But it didn't stop. It continued to come.
I couldn't stand that anymore.
I saw the cat coming through the window. The last drop made the glass overflow.
I ran after the cat. It escapet to the forest and I chased after it. It was incredibly fast. Oh, god, I hated it so much!
Suddenly, we were at the lake. The cat stopped, so did I.
I shouted at it: "Why are you always coming?! Why do you always demand me to do those bad things?!"
I stopped waiting for answer, but it didn't come so I continued with questions: "What is 'paradichlorobenzene'?!"
But it didn't answer my questions. It just stared at me with its big eyes.
And then, for no real reason, I asked:
"What do I sing for?!"
No reaction from the cat.
"Answer me!" I grabbed the cat but it didn't react at all. It just continued to stare, stare, stare...
I've taken it for its neck and put it under the water. I wanted to drown the cat. I just wanted it to disappear.
It didn't fight against me. It just stared at me under the water. I felt so unease for doing this, but it must die!
After a few minutes like that it smiled at me. It was mocking me!
And then it died.
I let its body to float away happy because its over. Its finally over.
And then I heard a voice behind me.
