Secret Guardian (Part 2)

Previously... "Out of the way, you black feline!" A buffy guy said as he kicked me across the road. I'd like to show him what he's dealing with but right now, I got to warn her.

I ran down the street as fast as my four paws could take me. I reached the described house and scratched on the door as loud as I could. I made sounds of agony as I scratched her door.

I was about to turn into my human form as just she opened the door. She looked from side to side, but saw no one, I purred as she was about to close the door. She looks down and gasped. I guess she remembers me now?

She picked me up and brought me into the house, mumbling apologies on the way to the living room as she got me food.

She poured fresh, cold milk into a bowl and set it down in front of me. I drank the liquid as if it was my last. As I finished she picked me up and took her into her room. I closed my cat eyes as I've never been inside a girl's room. What am I to expect? She sets me down onto the bed, commanding me not to go anywhere as she went to take a shower. I sat there on the bed staring at the closed door to the bathroom. I got bored and changed into my human form. I sat there for at least ten more minutes until she came back out with wet hair. She looks at me shocked... Then yells, "What are you doing here?! How'd you get in?! Hey, what happened to the cat?!" I smiled and was just about to answer, but someone knocked the front door.

Shit, they're already here. "Look, you've got to trust me on this one and hide." I assure her. She looks at me confused and opened her mouth to protest but I rushed her into the closet.

The front door bust open and five guys entered the house. I stood in the living room, waiting. "Where's the damn girl?" The leader demanded. "Not here," I replied, "she's not home." The leader smirked and ordered the group of men to search the house. As they ran aimlessly around the house, the leader eyed me for any response. I stared at them, hoping they won't cause much trouble.

The men returned to their leader's side and reported to have not spotted the girl. Their leader wasn't happy. He ordered them to keep an eye on me as he searched himself. He walked aimlessly around the house at the four other men had done until he walks past me, towards the bedroom.

I quickly grabs his arm as I repeated my earlier response. He smirk grew and inched closer to the bedroom. My grip tightened around his arm as my eyes glowed in crimson red. I dug my nails into his arm as blood drew.

The leader's eyes grew in terror as he shouted for the other to get me off of him. I could see that thy hesitated but they complied. I didn't waste any time as I kicked ones stomach and another guy's head. I let the leader's arm go for a second and twisted the arm of one of the remaining two guys. Lastly I threw a punch in the face at the last one and it free blood form his nose. I told them to scram and they ran out the door without another thought. I turned to the leader and smirked. It was only me and him. His face turned pale white and he shook in fear. My smirk grew as I whispered in his ear how he was going to die by my hands. I pulled my hands back and smiled innocently. But we both know there's death behind that. I suggested he run while still smiling. He ran, ran past the door, down the street, into his car and drove until he was out of town.

I walked back into the room and opened the closet doors. I looked down at the girl. She was hugging her legs close to her chest trying hard not to shake. I told her it's safe to come out as I sat down beside her. She looks at me with those innocent eyes and gets out to the cramped closet.

She smiled and thanks me again. "It's no problem." I said running the back of my neck. I told her that it was best to sleep now and she agreed. "Tomorrow's a long day" I said. She smiled and kept thanking me. "I told you that's it's no problem. I guess I was meant to protect." She climbs into bed and lays down. "Are you going to stay?" She asks. I shook my head as I grabbed my coat, which magically appeared out of nowhere, and walked out the door. "Wait! Why don't you stay? It's late, so stay." She said. I smiled and agreed. She closed her eyes and fell in a deep sleep. I walked back to her bed and sat beside it, guarding for whatever is to come. But I knew there was nothing to worry about. Today's problems were solved, tomorrow I'll start worrying.

The next morning was peaceful. I laid down next to her peacefully as the sun shines through the curtains. Don't worry, I turned back into a cat. It'll be suspicious if she found a boy in her bed next to her. I pretended to be sleeping as she wakes up. She slightly smiled and petted me. I felt the weight of her hand leave my head and heard the bathroom door open. Moments later I heard the shower running. I laid there and stared at the bathroom. I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep again 15 minutes later when she came out fresh and ready for the day. As she exited the room I opened my eyes again. I waited for about 5 more minute before going out of the room. I found her dancing in the kitchen with a spatula in hand. I walked up to her and purrs. She stopped and looked down at me. Her hands wrapped around my small black body and kissed my nose. The alarm had to ruin our moment when it's annoying beeping sound ripped through the house.

"Oh gosh, I should be going now." She says as she put me down and picks up her backpack. "I'll be back in a few hours, okay?" And with that, she leave the house locking the door securely. I smiled as I changed back into a human. This is going to be interesting....
