A girl made her way to school, her ears caught a faint noise that piqued her curiosity. Intrigued, she veered off her usual path and ventured towards the source of the commotion.
To her surprise, she stumbled upon a scene where a black cat relentlessly pounced on a defenceless white cat, while an orange cat lay helplessly on the ground. The orange cat appeared to be in a sorry state, with its ears bearing the brunt of the attack and its feet showing signs of minor injuries.
Being a fervent admirer of feline creatures, Her sympathy kicked in without a moment's hesitation. She decided to reprieve the distressed cat... He needs aid!
It was clear that he needed immediate aid. As she cautiously approached the orange cat, the combat between the black and white cats fumed on. The white cat, realising the futility of the fight, swiftly sprinted away, leaving the black cat with his deadly hoofs.
The black cat, though shortly distracted, soon became aware of the trouble his friend was in. His tail and ears perked up, signalling his concern.
However, upon spotting the girl who had come to help, he sensed her as a possible threat. With a growl of warning, he positioned himself defensively, ready to defend his friend.
Undeterred by the black cat's display of aggression, the girl calmly reached into her bag and retrieved a small container of ointment. She knew that this soothing balm would provide some relief to the injured orange cat.
The black cat, with its shiny fur, fixed its gaze on the girl's every move. She carefully cradled the orange cat in her lap, feeling the warmth of its body against her legs. As she stroked its velvety fur, her fingers gently caressed its head, providing a soothing touch before applying the ointment to its injured leg.
At that moment, the black cat's ears perked up, alert to a low whine emitting from its feline partner. It positioned itself again, ready to pounce and defend, but hesitated as it observed the girl tending to its injured friend. The girl skillfully utilized her means to administer first-aid, showing a level of care and compassion that surprised the black cat.
With the remedy now applied, the girl turned her head to the black cat, a genuine smile illuminating her face. However, her joy quickly faded as she realised the lateness of the hour. She bid farewell to the cats, her voice filled with a mix of affection and regret, before disappearing into the distance.
—AFTER FEW DAYS—
[
Author's POV
]
Days passed, and yet the feeling of being observed and followed continued within you. It was as if an invisible existence lurked behind every corner, hidden within the shadows.
I feel like there is someone behind the bushes. You thought, scratching your neck that doubled across your growing anxiety.
You diligently inspected your surroundings, but to your dismay, no one was to be found. With a sigh, you decided to make your way back home. As you reached your home, exhaustion washed over you, causing you to slump onto your bed.
However, just as you were about to drift off into a peaceful slumber, a sudden commotion from the roof jolted you awake once again.
Who the fuck is that??
Your heart raced with a mixture of fear and curiosity. With cautious steps, you made your way towards the source of the noise. As you drew closer, a low, rhythmic thumping sound reached your ears, gaining your interest.
And then, out of the corner of your eye, you caught a glimpse of a black, wriggling tail. To your astonishment, you realised that it was the same pair of cats you had rescued earlier. A surge of curiosity overcame you, causing your eyes to widen in wonder.
"
What are you both doing here?
" you couldn't help but ask, your voice filled with genuine curiosity.
As if caught red-handed, the cats froze in their tracks, their tails sticking straight up in the air. They peered at you with their innocent, wide eyes, their expressions almost comically adorable. It was impossible to resist their charm.
So cute!
Just as you were about to succumb to what you jokingly referred to as a "
cuteness overload heart attack.
"
"
meow~~~,
" a soft meow interrupted your thoughts.
The black cat swiftly placed its paw on the orange cat's mouth, as if trying to silence its partner. It was as if they wanted to remain hidden as if they didn't want you to notice them at all.
Witnessing this unexpected display, you couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was a sight that was both amusing and heartwarming. The cats, realising they had been found, swiftly sprinted away, but not before casting one last glance in your direction.
Their eyes held a glimmer of hope and curiosity as if silently asking if you would follow them on their mysterious adventure.
"
They just ran away!
" you exclaim with a pout, your voice tinged with dismay.
You can't help but wonder if they were following you.
Perhaps their rumbling stomachs were the reason behind their sudden departure... Poor little angels...
You think to yourself, feeling a pang of sympathy for the hungry felines.
Determined to prevent such a situation, you make it a habit to keep some food on the rooftop. It became a daily ritual, and soon enough, the cats caught wind of this newfound source of care. Like clockwork, they gather on the rooftop, eagerly awaiting their meal
Will it truly end this easily? Or will these feline companions eventually find their way into your heart, becoming a permanent part of your life? Only time will tell.
