Uh oh....Sometimes Routines change

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yoongi jumps off his front porch steps and makes his way to Preschool.

He wasn't able to walk home yesterday so he couldn't see the boy in the window after school, so he is trying to get there quickly to have more time to see him.

"Good morning, Mr. Yoongi."

Yoongi stops in his steps before bowing. "Good morning, grandma." Like every morning, he received a warm bread wrapped in a napkin and continued on his way.

He passed the alley way and stopped. He had to say hi to the man. "Good morning."

Yoongi waited for the usual reply but he heard nothing. "Hello?" Yoongi can clearly see someone cleaning, it had to be the man.

Yoongi waited until the person finished working. He wanted to know why the man wasn't talking to him.

The figure grew closer and Yoongi smiled, but once they got to the entrance, Yoongi felt his heart drop and fear growing. His tail popped out its fur and ears fell on his head, indicating his emotion.

It was his friend, the man, but he looked scary. His face was covered in bruises, mouth covered in a metal mouth muzzle, he walked with a limp and his hair was shaved. But what scared Yoongi the most was his hand. Some of his fingers were missing, his left hand doesn't have the ring and pointer finger while his right is missing his middle. He had ten yesterday. Why does he have seven now?

Yoongi wanted to asked what happened but a German Shepard Hybrid officer pulled him away from the man gently. "Stay away from him, kid. He's in trouble."

Yoongi wanted to cry. "Why?" He asked, watching the man slowly back away from the officer and back into the dark alley.

The officer dusts off Yoongi before answering. "He was seen talking to a kid and was caught eating stolen food. So he was punished."

Yoongi's heart dropped. "Will the kid be in trouble too?" He asked. Yoongi didn't mean to, but he'll take his punishment if he had to.

"Of course not. This Cleaner will finish up here before being moved. You and the other children won't have to worry about him anymore."

Yoongi felt scared for the man but he didn't know why. He looked sad and frightened, and he was the cause of it.

"Now get to school. Everything will be ok now." The officer said, patting Yoongi's head with a smile. Yoongi nods before running away. He can't stare at his human friend any longer.

The officer watches the small cat before pulling out his baton ready to strike the defenseless human.

After crossing the street to the orphanage, Yoongi walks up to the window to see the boy again. After looking side to side, he smiles when the boy was spotted.

The boy smiled back, he likes the cat. Running to the window, the boy places his hands on the glass with Yoongi following after. The two smiled at each other. The boy then placed a finger on a different spot on the window, Yoongi copied.

For two minutes Yoongi played Touch with the boy. It wasn't a hard game but it wasn't boring either. The boy placed his full hand near the bottom of the window sideways and Yoongi did the same on top when a worker grabbed the boy by his oversized shirt.

Yoongi stares at the worker who smiled at him and waving before taking the boy behind two green curtains. Yoongi grew sad again, he didn't get to say bye to his friend.

That's two friends he didn't get to say bye to. Today is really sad.

Finally making it to preschool, his teacher smiled.

"Welcome to class Yoongi. Are you ready for the day?" She asked enthusiastically.

Yoongi immediately started to cry. His teacher didn't expect that reaction and gently picked him up and carried him to her classroom. Many children were asking why he was crying but she never gave them a straight answer.

"Start on your morning chores. I will be in my space talking to Yoongi." She instructs.

Making it to her desk, she places Yoongi on the his feet. "Alright, now tell me what is wrong." She said calmly.

Yoongi coughed. "My friend! He got in trouble because of me! He was hurted and it was my fault." He cried out. The teacher, of course, didn't know he was talking about a human when she comforted him. "I'm sure he knows that it wasn't on purpose."

"He couldn't talk to me like every morning." Yoongi wipes his tears with his arm.

"It's ok. This happens between friends. He will come around."

"But he is moving! I won't see him again." Yoongi sniffs.

"Well, I'm sure you'll meet again. The world is a small place, he'll come around."

Yoongi was able to stop crying and understand what his teacher had said. "Ok."

The rest of the day was filled with fun and learning. After school, Yoongi started his walk home. He stopped at the orphanage to see his friend but the boy wasn't in, in fact, none of the children were. So he continued on his way home.

Passing the alley, he sees a new face this time it was a woman. She looked way older than the man. I don't want her to get in trouble too. With that in mind, he left her alone.

So sad. It got dark didn't it?

Just so you know you will see the word muzzle a lot in this book so I thought I could give a better explanation about how they look. Remember when Loki was muzzled in Avengers? Yeah, that's the one.

Leave me some love!
