"Not an ordinary cat? What is that supposed to mean?" Aurora asked Lilith looking at her confused.
"Well he has a dark aura looming over him, and by dark, i mean very dark ". Lilith replied aurora but looking at the confusion on her face, she decided to break it down. Sighing softly she said. "Supernaturals like demons, vampires, mermaids and some other creatures are able to sense other creatures aura or rather their spiritual energy and with such dark aura I'm going to assume he his a demon". She completed referring to the black cat sleeping on aurora's bed.
"A demon?" Aurora asked.
"I think so, though I'm not certain". She said to Aurora looking in deep thought. "Or maybe I'm just assuming things, maybe the aura I'm sensing belongs to his owner or something" She completed shrugging.
"Oh" Aurora muttered.
"Yeah but for now just be careful till i figure out what he really is". Lilith said to Aurora.
"Ok" Aurora said yawning looking tired.
"I think you should go to bed, you look tired". Lilith said looking at Aurora's tired face.
"Yeah, it's been a long day " Aurora stretched before laying on her bed "goodnight Lilith" she mumbled before closing her eyes.
Waking up the next morning, Aurora looked besides her and realized Lilith wasn't in the room. "Where did she go to" Aurora thought to herself. Looking at the alarm clock by the night stand she was shocked to see it was past ten already. Seems Lilith must have woken up long time ago and decided not to wake her up because she knew how tired she was yesterday. Thank goodness it's Saturday, at least no classes. Aurora thought to herself but now she has missed breakfast she would have to wait till lunch time before getting anything into her stomach and she was really hungry since she refused to have dinner last night. "Argh" she groaned burying her face in her pillow when she heard a purr. She shrieked and jump slightly which resulted in her landing flat on the floor.

How did I even forget about the cat, I groaned running my hands through my hair. Standing up I sat back on my bed inspecting the cat. He seems fine, but he hasn't eaten anything, and now I missed breakfast what am I going to give him to eat now. "Arghhh" I groaned for the second time today. Standing up from the bed I dropped the cat and walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and bath. Coming out from the bathroom I got dressed and decided to go in search of Lilith.
Ok so it's been over thirty minutes already and I'm still walking aimlessly around the girls dorm and i swear I haven't even seen a sign, ANY sign of Lilith anywhere. I'm getting so frustrated and I'm sure I've already grown gray hairs from worry plus I haven't even eaten anything. ARGHH!! Gosh this is frustrating. I'm so hungry. And I've been groaning since i woke up like some depressed old woman. Running my hands through my hair, I sighed for the hundredth time today and it's still morning. Walking down the corridor I walked into an hallway by my left and went straight to the door that was at the end of the hallway. it's actually Sabrina's and Amber's room. At first when I started looking for Lilith and got tired, I went to Hydra but even she and Eva weren't in their rooms as well, wonder were they are. I mean I knew Lilith won't be with them, I was just hoping they knew were she was but I couldn't even find them. Knocking on the door a bored looking Amber opened the door with a huge scowl on her face.
"What?" She asked looking annoyed upon seeing it was me her annoyance turned into excitement or curiosity or something like that I don't know but the scowl she had on her face morphed into a smirk. "Hmm, to what do I owe this visit?".
"Where is Sabrina?"I asked ignoring her question.
"I wouldn't know but why are you looking for her?" She replied.
"Nevermind" I told her walking away. Guess both the cat which I am yet to name and I would have to stay hungry till lunch time.
"Whatever reason you might be looking for her, I'm pretty sure I can be of help even much better than she can". She smirked.
"Don't bother amber" I mumbled.
"Well common tell me I'm bored and I'm tired of doing nothing and staying in the room like some princess waiting for her prince charming" she flicked her hair walking besides me.
"No one is forcing you to stay cooped up in your room" i responded.
"Tell me something..." She smirked in mischief moving closer to me sniffing me, wayyy too close for my liking. If someone had told me Amber and I would have a normal conversation I would never believe, I mean it's not a normal conversation but more like Amber annoying me but it's still a conversation nonetheless.
Groaning in annoyance I shoved her out of my way. "What's your problem? Never heard of personal space".
Still smirking and still too close to me she leaned closer to my ears as two girls walked pass us. "Why do you smell different? I mean you know you smell different right, like there is a scent stuck to you". She looked like she knew something. A mischievous glint in her eyes. She definitely knows something.
"What do you know?" I asked going straight to the point not in the mood to beat around the bush.
Still Smirking she replied "so do you need my help".
"No" I replied rolling my eyes. Need her help, yh right.
"Ok let me rephrase do you want my help, I mean you know for a fact that I do know something you don't, so don't you think it'll be wise to be nice to me".
"How about this, you tell me what you know then I'll see how useful you can be to me". I told her.
"Hmmm" she hummed licking her lips in a seductively "you've become much more outspoken, I love it, makes you much more attractive and alluring to me ".
I just rolled my eyes ignoring her.
"But if you insist, I'll tell you what I know. For one, last night the protective barrier was broken, hmm", she hummed staring at me, "who could have done that?, Two I picked up a strange scent around the barrier last night I think about an hour or two before the barrier was broken or should I say shattered by a certain someone and two pups" she said smiling so brightly. "And one more thing".
"Well so she knows everything already what more is she going to say" i rolled my eyes inwardly.
"A little birdie also told me a certain blonde head was with a black cat yesterday which was exuding a strange smell and aura while others were at dinner" she finished still smiling. Well I'll give it to her she's good, smart, and aware of what goes on around her. And if I really want to keep the cat and find out what he really is and most importantly to stay out of trouble while doing that, I'll need her help.
"If I've gotten anything from all you've said, it's one your brother is a snitch a bitch even" I said glaring at her which she responded to by gasping and placing a hand on her chest faking hurt still smiling.
"I said a birdie not a vampire" she laughed staring at me like she was talking to a confused toddler. Rolling my eyes I chose to ignore her and instead continue what I was saying.
"Two you were not also at dinner yesterday, which will make it harder for me to get caught, three the cat isn't a normal cat".
"Bingo!" She exclaimed looking excited. "Now we need to find out exactly what he is".
"Yh whatever".
"So why exactly where you looking for Sabrina". She uttered her name with disgust.
"Woke up late, didn't see Lilith so I needed to know if she saw her".
"Oh I saw her, but what do need her for" she questioned pissing me off.
"What's this? Twenty one questions?" I asked her in annoyance making her laugh in delight.
"Snarky, hmm? Girl you just keep drawing me to you without you even knowing. Keep it up, I mean I love girls with attitude". She smiled.
Is she flirting with me? Wait... Wait a minute is she really flirting with me? Ha! You've got to be kidding me right now. "You're crazy, crazy I tell you". I walked away from her shaking my head. Walking besides me she asked referring to Lilith.
"So what did you want from her".
"I skipped dinner, and now i missed breakfast, I'm hungry and I'm sure the cat is also hungry so I was looking for her to see if she has a solution".
"Well you could have just said so, common lets get to your room, sneak the cat out and get something to eat". She said walking few steps ahead of me. On getting to the room I grabbed the cat who was still on my bed exactly where I had left him. We both left the room heading to the Ground floor.
"We're are we going to". I asked a bit worried since the cat was in my hands, though we haven't seen anybody yet I'm certain that before we get the the ground floor we will be caught.
"You said you were hungry right?" She asked.
"Yh?" I replied unsure.
"Well we are going to the kitchen to get you both something to eat" she replied.
"Will the fairies let us in?" I asked.
"Talk about twenty one questions". She said rolling her eyes but replied anyways. "They won't and that's why we would have to sneak in princess".
"Don't call me that and sneak in?". I question.
"Yes sneak in princess and aren't you a princess". She smiled. Taking a deep breath, i figured ignoring her was for the best because the more I speak the more opportunity I gave her to spit out rubbish. So we sneaked into the kitchen with the cat and got food to eat and I couldn't be anymore grateful, it was unbelievably easy to sneak in and sneak out, according to Amber she had done it several times when she needed blood, apparently the urge for blood when it comes to pure blooded vampires is overwhelming sometimes so she no other option than to sneak in and steal a couple of blood bags. Though she didn't exactly said she didn't have other options, she said she could compel the students so she could drink from them but if caught she'll get punished.
We are currently sitting under the huge tree with the cat outside the academy where the twins and I disappeared from last night. I got to know where Lilith and the others were. Funny enough there is a room in the academy called the common room in each dorm where the students go to relax, play games have fun and other stuff when they have nothing to do. Let's just say it's main function is for socializing and it's funny because I had no idea that there were rooms like that in the school and I've been here for over two months plus. Although Amber suggested to take me there but i rejected her offer since I don't exactly like being in crowded places or rather in the midst of people I'm unfamiliar with. So I decided to take in fresh air by sitting outside the academy where Amber and I are the only students here, though it's not an offence to be outside the academy except at night but most students prefer being inside that outside. I personally prefer being outside surrounded by nature, the beautiful flowers the bright sunny sky, the fresh air and the cool breeze under this tree. I've never felt so alive, although, as a princess I was not allowed to leave the castle, sometimes Brenna and kaida somehow manage to sneak me out of the castle, they were the only fun things in my life back at home. I really miss them and can't wait to see them again, I wonder how my life would have been if I hadn't been friends with them.
"Hellooo!! Earth to Aurora". I heard Amber said waving her hands over my face.
Slapping her hands away from my face, i replied. "What?".
"Aggressive much?" She questioned. "I was asking what name are you planning on giving him".
"I have to name him?" I asked.
"Well duh, you don't plan on calling him the black cat forever now, do you?". She sassed.
"Well if what you guys are saying is true, I doubt he'll be with me forever". I murmured staring at the cat on my legs who looks pretty relaxed and comfortable, he's eyes are closed and seem not to be the least bit interested in what we're saying making it hard for me to believe he isn't a normal cat. I've come to realize that he loves snuggling with me, like he always tries to be close to me like so close and he loves me carrying him. I think he likes me.
"I doubt that, but you still need to give him a name" she insisted.
"Ok, how about I call you tom" I asked staring at him but upon seeing the unimpressed look on both Amber's and the cat's face, his eyes are now wide open and he is now sitting instead of lying on my lap expectantly, so I kept going.
"Spot?" I asked.
"Are you for real?" Amber snorted.
"Ermm.... hazel?" Nothing, no reaction from the both of them.
"Shadow? Dusk? Twilight? Ebony?Graphite? Charcoal?" At this point I was calling random names.
At the last name Amber stared at me "you've got to be kidding me, charcoal? Really?".
"Common he's black". I said to her then turned towards the cat. "You like charcoal don't you?" In return he glared at me so hard that had the hairs on my neck standing. "What? You don't like it?". I know cats don't glare, oh who am I kidding, cats do glare but his glare is more humanlike that catlike, if you understand what I'm saying. And surprisingly talking to the cat doesn't seem weird or crazy, it just seems like I'm talking to a friend, as weird as it sounds that's how it seems.
"Ok how about azrael? No? What of Damion" I questioned. The glare from the cat hardened and now he even has a scowl on his face so i continued.
"Sabrina? Luna?" Instantly he hissed at me in anger, I had to throw him out of my lap in fear that he'll attack me, I swear I saw his eyes change color for a second. Though I have to admit I had purposely mentioned those names to piss him off, and trust me it was worth it, if not for the way he is glaring at me right now i would have been rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Seriously?" Amber asking shaking her head towards me. Stretching her hands towards the cat petting it. After some time of laughing to myself, in my head of course. I pulled him towards me smiling.
"How about I call you onyx? Hmm?". Purring softly, he rubbed himself on me meowing. I think I saw him smirk in delight but maybe it's just my imagination.
"Onyx it is then". I murmured staring at him.
"Onyx". Amber said. "I love it".
Laughing lightly I replied while petting him. "I think he loves it as well"
