Chapter 5

- Narrator -

The two specters were already many kilometers away from the territory of the wolves, entering an old house with a musty smell, cobwebs and a few broken timbers on their way.

Their footsteps echoed with squeaks and creaks throughout the house as they took each step, they both climbed the stairs to the second floor passing through the torn, damp and fallen tapestries together with some photos of unknown people that accompanied the dark and dilapidated house.

The first specter put his cold hand on the door and made his way with the second specter behind him.

— Madam, it's done, we have the attention of the wolves in our direction.

— Very well done Abrahel and Abyssus — a woman with mature and delicate features, with lipstick painted in carmine color, green eyes protected with long eyelashes and around her face some strands of jet-colored hair fell, covering this beauty with a red hood.

The woman gets up from where she was prostrated before and walks slowly around Abrahel and Abyssus.

— At the speed we are going, we'll have in our hands Morgana, and not even my brother will be able to do something with the power that I will have in my hands; and with the news that she's with a she-wolf, we will have greater power — She exclaimed with a low tone and with a small smile on the edge of her mouth, placing her hand on Abrahel's shoulder.

Outside that house, in the darkness of the forest, there was another entity aware of everything that was happening and watching each and every one of its movements.

"Very well, Aradia," the wind exclaimed and then disappeared into the darkness.

- Morgana -

A heartbreaking howl spreads through the little cabin, working its way deep into our ears.

I see Dayana get up quickly and go to the door.

— I'm sorry, something just happened at home, they need me. I have to go, I'll come later, as soon as I can.

She approaches the door but before leaving she turns in my direction.

— Be careful

And as she leaves, I approach the door and press my forehead, meditating a bit about what she had told me.

"Are you OK?"

He listened inside her mind; she immediately knew it was Kay.

— No, Kay, I'm not fine, you know what is happening outside, right?

I see how the little cat lowers her head and her ears

"Yes... I'm sorry about the shield".

— It's okay; we just have to get to work to be able to replace it as soon as possible and be able to stay here as long as possible... I don't know, maybe with Dayana on our side it is not necessary to flee anymore — I said with a small almost imperceptible smile on the lips.

— Very good, Kay, we are going to need more than your legs and my hands to be able to rebuild everything — I said looking at my little cat.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! At least, we have no more hair or fleas!"

"Only for a while, when we rebuilt the shield" I said, telling her about her little internal party.

"How did you say you said?"

She said with one front leg up and one down.

— Do you remember the main reason why you are on all fours? — I could swear that if the cats were ashamed, Kay would be very red, I finally took off from the door and went to check my books to be able to remake the shield.

"Hey don't remind me anymore, I still keep my position that it was her fault, she should be like a very sexy cat with fleas not me!"

I can't contain my laughter and I laugh out loud remembering what happened a few years ago.

FLASHBACK

- Kay -

Since I had nothing to do after Maya tried to make my life difficult, I decided to go home and rest.

I was walking and a few meters ahead of my achievement I saw Maya enter a house that I supposed to be hers.

What if I have fun in another way?

I thought of that moment, I sneaked into her backyard and managed to see a tree overlooking a window.

What luck, what would the bad girl from high school do in her spare time?

I approach the tree and begin to climb it, when I reach the part that faces her window, I place myself where she cannot see me.

I see how Maya moves in her room, leaves her backpack, takes off her shoes, turns on the TV and lies down on her bed, she is zapping on television for a while, I'm starting to get bored.

Well, I think she's not going to do anything interesting....

— Princess Luna becomes Black night moon again.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the television in Maya's room.

Wait...¿Maya is watching My Little Pony?

I continue to observe Maya to confirm that I am not mistaken if she is watching My Little Pony.

— Yes, well we have the cure for that.

I can't believe what I'm seeing

I place my hand over her mouth to keep from laughing and being discovered.

— Come on Sparkle, Fluttershy, Apple jack, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, you guys can!  By the power of friendship!

Now I can't hold my laughter and as expected Maya is aware of my presence but I can't stop laughing and I fall from the tree.

— Ahh, it hurts — I fall back to the ground and I can't move.

I can hear steps in the distance, i need to get out of here.

I hardly start to get up off the ground and try to run into the forest but before I get there I am paralyzed.

"Oh no, I'm in trouble, because I didn't realize that she's a witch too, damn, this is going to get ugly.

- Is it possible to know what you were doing spying from that tree?

Still unable to move my body, I answer her.

— I was curious to know my pain in the ass does after school — I say with decision

— Do you know that you are not in a teasing position at this moment? — She tells me with a smile on her lips — ¿What am I going to do with your curiosity kitten?

— I did not know that you were also a witch, you learn new things every day, and do not call me kitten — I say with a frown

— Yes, it runs in the family. And c'mon, with that curiosity I could easily mistake you for a cat — she tells me, surrounding my still petrified body.

I look at her with curiosity — What do you want? — I tell her after a while — it's starting to itch and I can't scratch myself being like this.

— Too curious for a simple human, don't you think? — She tells me tilting an eyebrow.

— Come on, you have already done what you are going to do to me to go see My Little Pony — I say, unable to help but laugh.

I see how the colors rise to her face and she looks at me angrily.

— Your curiosity is going to be expensive, Kay — She tells me looking at me with mockery — "Curiositas cattus qui occisus est ab homine usque ad minimum et fiet vobis"

I know what that spell is, this is wrong.

— Wait Maya, no!  — too late

- Meow

When I open my eyes, I look up and see Maya looking at me with delight.

— What a pretty kitten.

This strikes me as curious

— Oh, by Satan, you are so adorable — I see how she is about to take me in her arms.

"Do not even think about it"

— Come here beautiful thing!

"No!"

— This will teach you not to be so curious — she says while holding me. I try to scratch her but I still don't know how to use this little body.

— Kay, I'm just going to tell you that this curse will only be removed if I want to, and if they remove it, it will only be temporary, lucky kitty — As soon as she stops talking, she walks away as if she had not transformed me into a cat.

This strikes me as curious!  Damn My Little Pony!
