Chereads / Love Me Like I Do To You / Chapter 4 - Swift

Chapter 4 - Swift

I'm so excited! Today is the day I get my name! I have been waiting for this forever! Mommy told me that I can get my name when I turn five. We all do. All the children in our solar are born in the same day at the same time. A solar is otherwise known as a loner base. Everyone here either used to be a loner or was born here. The difference between a loner and a rouge is that rouges have gone feral and are usually those who have been banished from their pack. Loners are those who stayed sane and left voluntarily. If a loner is away from others of it's kind for too long they go rouge. My mom came here after the Clan leader got her pregnant along with 5 others. All of us involved live in Thunder Clan some call us the 5 clans, the Star points, the 5 Solar systems, or the forgotten ones. Our group is officially named Thunder Clan but most of us prefer the Solar. Those who come here pregnant are magically synced to mach the other moms pregnancies. If one person has a miscarriage all of them do. It's kind of awful but we believe that if that happens Sky Clan is telling us we shouldn't have children for the year intended. There are 6 of us receiving names today from Stormstar the clan leader. Stormstar is very kind and cares about everyone in the clan along with all of the other clans. Sky Clan will choose our names today. Some say that your name is based on your personality or worth but that is proven wrong in many cases. I will finally get to be an apprentice today! I wonder who my mentor will be! I have always wanted to be a medicine cat but I am a really good fighter. I will be trained as a warrior. I have a bad temper and sometimes I sneak out of the camp to hunt alone. I'm only a kit so I'm not allowed out of the camp. Everyone knows I sneak out and they have tried to stop me before but I'm the fastest cat in the clan they can't get close to me. We are all different kinds of cats and we can shift into human form but we all prefer cat form. We can be Normal sized for a cat or we can be the size of whatever type we are. I am a pure white cat of the panther bloodline but I can also shift into something else. I would never tell anyone or they would get rid of me. Cat's hate dogs after all. I can become a massive white wolf with gorgeous blue eyes. I am normally a little white cat with silver eyes. As a huge panther I have silver fur on my paws but other than that everything is the same as my cat. As a human I have silver hair with dark blue streaks in it that reaches my lower back and bangs that almost cover my eyes. I am only 6 moons old but as a human I would only be half a year old. Being a cat means that my human form is 4-years-old already. After we receive our names. Our human forms grow at a normal pace to humans. Wolf shifters or as most call them werewolves grow at the same place as humans so it doesn't affect my speed of maturing. Mom is a tiger and my father is a lion apparently so mommy doesn't know where I got the panther bloodline from but she thinks it could be farther back in her family because the leader of her clan had a law that the leaders family must stay as pure lions so there is no possibility that it came from him. I am the only panther in the clan and the only white furred cat most of us are tigers, lions, and just normal cats. Yes most of us are just normal cats and not of any beast bloodline. I hate turning into a human everyone else has blond to light brown hair so I stand out even like that. Every full moon there is a gathering of all the 5 clans to share news and we shift into humans every blood moon. Today sadly is a blood moon and it's snowy. The adults went to get warm clothes for us. We are more mature than humans at our age so we could end up drawing too much attention to ourselves if we went to the human cities. I want to go to human school. I want to learn about them.

I run out of the nursery with the other kits as we carry our new clothes. We all get along but I don't have anyone I would call a friend. The adults say I act like a human when they think no one is listening. We run into the tunnels going deeper and deeper till we emerge into a huge cave big enough for us to shift into human form or mystic form as we call it. I set down the bag and shift till I am standing tall on two legs with a pair of shorts and a tank top on. I notice that I look older than I did last time I shifted but I strip and put on the long black dress with the entire top covered in diamonds on ignoring the change. The dress has off shoulder sleeves and a puffed bottom that goes down to hide my feet. The dress doesn't drag on the floor but it covers my feet none the less. I run a brush through my long hair that is at least an inch longer than before and let out a sigh. My dress is long sleeved but my shoulders will get cold. I put my hair over my shoulders to cover them. I slip on the black combat boots and turn to the other girls. They are all gaping at me. I look at my dress and back at them. They all have long dresses with the bottoms similar to mine but one of them has a little gem covered belt to match while the others had either a necklace or hair piece. I shrug and we all shift back. Magic makes us look just as we did before shifting when we shift to human form. We run out of the cave and look at the moon. If we don't hurry we will be late. It is bad luck to say anything but the required on your naming ceremony day so we have been completely silent all day just looking at each other excitedly all day long. We race to get to the gathering. None of us has been to one of these but we all know how to track a scent. We arrive at the trees as we hear Stormstar announce us. We all walk in a single file line with me at the back up to the high stone. The others go through getting the names Stonepaw, colorpaw, mousepaw, birdpaw, and wingpaw. I step up as it's my turn. "Pantherkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Zero. Your mentor will be Tigerclaw." Stormstar says. Everyone gasps at my name. This is what Sky Clan named me. I am not a paw, I am just Zero. I shake my head bewildered. How can I be just Zero. What kind of name is that anyway. We have no right to question Sky Clan. I only want to fit in and now this. Is it not enough that I look different no matter what form I take but I just had to get a weird name? Stormstar looks just as shocked as everyone else. She has no control over what she says in the ceremony. I feel tears gather in my eyes threatening to fall so I run shifting mid-step as I go. Into my cat form. I run as fast as possible. I know I crossed the border into the only clan that doesn't attend the gatherings territory. They sometimes show up but not always and definitely not today I run strait through their territory being chased by shadowclan warriors because I am trespassing. I run across the border exiting their territory. I look back and see a cat with pitch black fur is chasing me still even after leaving the territory. I run as the trees thin and I can still hear the cat behind me. He isn't nearly as fast as me. I run out of the forest and I hear him stop so I turn back to see him looking at me with worried eyes as he sits inside the treeline. I turn and run into the busy city. I have to stay in cat form till I grow up. My clothes will grow with me and I have money in my shoe like always. I run into an alleyway to find 3 dogs going through the garbage. They all look at me and growl so I shift to full size and growl back. They all run off and I shift back to a little cat. I go over to the wall to find a bunch of twigs and moss. I make a nest and lay down to sleep slowly closing my eyes drifting off.

I slowly stir awake and stiffen as I realize that I am not in the nest I made yesterday. I am being carried by a human. No. The human is sitting. I slowly open my eyes and look around. We are inside a car. I know what it is because I eavesdropped on the young warriors who would be teenagers as humans. I feel something around my neck and try to paw it off. The human laughs. I look up at a little boy who is about the same age as my human form. I narrow my eyes at him and he reaches down unlatching whatever is on my neck and setting it down Infront of me. I notice that it is a collar! Like what the humans put on their pets! I look at the name engraved on it. It says one word. One amazing word. One word that I will forever love. One thing that I will never forget. One thing that makes me not run away. One name. Swift. I don't know why it means so much to me but I look up at the boy with tears in my eyes.

"Hi my name is Drake. Nice to meet you Swift." The boy who is apparently named Drake smiles. I purr and lean into him. He takes the opportunity to put the collar back on and I let him.

"Alpha won't be happy about this Drake and he might make you get rid of it." The man driving tells Drake as the car stops. I can't see where we are but I am excited to see. I look at Drake thinking about what the driver just said and I start to panic. I sniff the air and sure enough this boy is a werewolf.

"Father will be fine with it and if he gets rid of her then I'll leave with her. I will even take care of her myself if I have to." Drake says determined. Wait, is he the Alpha's son? I think to myself. I feel his aura and it is indeed an Alpha's aura. Drake picks me up, hugging me gently as the driver opens the door for him. The man glares at me and I give him a menacing look. He pales as he sniffs the air and his eyes widen. He looks at me intrigued. I send him a warning. "You tell anyone and I kill you stupid mutt. I mean no harm to this boy and intend to leave if possible. Unless of course I am comfortable here. I am just a cat shifter what could I do to a pack of wolves even with leaders blood an Alpha could still overpower me. I am a newly named apprentice with no training at all whatsoever. I can see how happy Drake is with me so I may stay. In human form me and him are the same age. If I do leave do not be surprised to see me as a human becoming his friend no matter what it takes. My powers are not to fight and I have yet to awaken them. You know what a fully awakened cat can do even if we are just little cats. Do not get in my way. I could kill you in this form. Don't be fooled by my size." I send a telepathic message to the driver as Drake walks to the front door.

When Drake steps inside a man who looks like an older version of Drake rounds the corner sniffing the air. I concentrate and hide my aura so I am just like a normal cat. I push my body against Drake's chest and puff up my fur hissing at the Alpha. I know that he wouldn't hurt his son and Drake won't ever hand me over so I'm completely safe.

"Drake why are you holding that thing you know our kind don't like cats?" The Alpha asks. Drake pulls me closer trying to calm me down by scratching behind my ears. I lean into him and purr softly.

"Her name is Swift and I rather like cats. I found her in an alleyway asleep on what looked like a nest. If you try to get rid of her then I leave too. Plus she doesn't seem to like you much father but she doesn't mind that I'm a wolf too." Drake says holding me closer to him. I guess he was serious when he said he would leave with me if he kicked me out. I know I shouldn't have but I do something that risks my safety. I leap out of Drake's arms and walk over to the Alpha. I sniff his foot and back away hissing. He growls lowly in warning. I turn my head defiantly and flick my tail in his direction before sountering to the kitchen table and curling up underneath in the shadows. I peek over at Drake and the Alpha who are obviously trying not to laugh. They can't seem to control it anymore and burst out laughing. I turn away from them in anger and walk away. I follow Drake's scent up the stairs and I feel a presence behind me. I Glance over my shoulder to see both of the wolves following me with amusement clear in their eyes. I walk up two more flights of stairs till I find where. I want to go. I walk over and jump up grabbing the handle slowly twisting it with my little paws till it finally opens. I drop back down and swish my tail side to side happy with myself before I walk inside. They try to follow but I kick the door shut with a huff. I know they can just open the door but I hear laughter on the other side of the door. I walk over to his bed and grab a small blanket that smells like it isn't used as often as the rest. I hear the door open as I drag the blanket to the corner of the room using my teeth. I put it down and start to push it around till it is in the shape of a nest. I hop in and curl up looking over to the wolves. Alpha is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed looking at me with amusement. Drake is sitting on his bed looking at me curiously. I huff and turn to face away from them both closing my eyes. I think about our medicine cat. Leafmoon. She was so kind. Her mentor died when she was still only a new apprentice but she was the only cat with healing knowledge. She took over and has been the medicine cat for 3 moons. Me and her were friends. I used to help out in the medicine den when I didn't have something to do. I meow sadly at the memory as I drift to sleep thinking about my Clan.

I am running as fast as possible being chased through the forest of Thunder Clan territory. I hear them close behind me. I shouldn't have snuck out today! I smelled a fox and got curious what they looked like. When I saw them I thought I could get them off our territory. My legs are hurting but I push on. I suddenly feel strong teeth sink into my shoulder and a steering pain across my entire body. I meow in pain and make a sound that I have never heard from a cat before in my life. It was like a growl mixed with howling and meowing. I look over to see one of the foxes has my shoulder. I swipe my a paw at it's eyes claws extended. The fox drops me immediately. I blinded her. She turns towards the border and runs away. I turn to the other 3 foxes and hiss menacingly. They back away but one of them gets a stupid Idea. He jumps on me and bites my hind leg. I reach up and scratch a deep cut into his chest. They all turn and run away as fast as their legs can take them. I start towards camp on two legs. It is very difficult but I have to get to the medicine den to get looked at. I don't know if I will be able to walk again. I feel the wounds start to heal. No bones are broken but it hurts like hell to walk on my paws. I notice the bushes around the camp come into view as black spots dance in my vision. I collapse and everything goes dark.

I just wake up to see Drake holding his arm in pain and I smell blood. I quickly jump up and dash towards him. He pulls away slightly. I hear footsteps rush towards the door but I don't care enough to look up. I lick at the wound and place one paw on the scratch. He doesn't heal as fast as a full grown werewolf because he hasn't shifted yet. I push all the energy I can to my paw and a bright golden light radiates from my paw. I know that the wound is closed so I take my paw off his arm. I watch as a small paw print tattoo forms on his wrist. I healed him and without realizing I also claimed him as my Clan. I feel dizzy from healing him. I get whatever wound he had because of what I did. I limo over to my makeshift bed not putting any weight on my front paw. I lay down with my paw outside of the nest as blood soaks my fur. I start to see black dots in my vision so I push my last bit of energy to the wound closing it before I lose consciousness.

I wake up to the feeling of being put down in warm water I look up to see Drake holding me in the water. He smiles at me as he cleans my blood covered leg. I slowly step away and start to lick my paw before dipping it back in the water. The blood is now gone from my white fur so I lick the rest of my body and Drake washes my back. I notice him being very careful of where he looks knowing he is avoiding looking at my private areas. I feel happy that he would go to so much trouble to avoid it. Drake pulls me out of the bath and onto a towel on the floor. I shake my fur out before he starts to dry me with a towel.

Drake picks my up wrapped in a towel holding me on my back like a human baby. I don't mind it is actually comfy laying like this I feel bad about scratching him in my sleep. I start to shiver from the cold and he wraps another towel around me before carrying me downstairs to the living room. I see dozens of people who I assume are pack members. They all stiffen and sniff the air. They all snap their heads our direction. I feel weak and probably look it as I lean my small head against his chest. Everybody has a surprised expression seeing me. I snuggle into Drake's arms for comfort. I am completely dry by now so he puts the towels on the little table before sitting down. I curl into his lap and purr happily. I hate crowds of humans but Drake is helping me not to panic. I feel fine in his arms. One girl who looks the same age but is wearing a mini skirt and a tube top walks over swaying her hips. I roll my eyes at her because she just looks like there is something wrong with her hips. I curl up more into his arms as the wolf girl walks over. She looks jealous of me sitting in his lap. The girl grabs me and I meow as she throws me to the floor. I land on my feet and hiss at her as she sits on his lap. I feel rage. How dare that bitch throw me. I stalk forward ready to pounce as Drake pushes her away from him. She yells looking shocked as she lands on the floor. I feel a wave of satisfaction as I walk over to her and stomp on her fingers. She yells in surprise as I sounters over to Drake with my head up. I hop on Drake's lap and rub my face against his chest as he pets me. I am purring like crazy. I hear a few people chuckle as I lay down letting out a sigh of content. I already hate that girl. I start to drift off when I hear something horrible.

"There are rouges at the border and a lot of them. Hide the woman and children wo can't fight in the safe room. Drake stands up with me in his arms as he runs towards the safe room with everyone else. I meow and he stops abruptly. I wiggle trying to get out of his arms. He shakes his head with fear in his eyes. I look at him pleadingly. I know I can help them no matter what it costs me.

"I won't let you go running around during an attack. The warriors can handle them Swift we need to get to the safe room." I plead with him using my eyes. He eventually sets me down. I nudge him towards the safe room. "Be careful Swift don't get hurt." He says before running off into the safe room. I spot a few cameras as I run. I feel energized from the adrenaline. I have to keep this pack safe.

When I reach the battle there are some rouge bodies on the ground and a few warriors who are too injured to fight are trying to get to safety. I move over to where a rouge is trying to sneak up on a man who can't walk and is trying to get to the packhouse. I growl drawing everyone's attention as I leap for the wolf who was going to attack a defenseless wolf. Cat growls aren't as menacing as wolves just hearing them but we don't growl unless we're pissed. The wolf totally underestimates me because I'm a kitten but I just use that to my advantage. I scratch his eye so he can only see from one side and slash his stomach. I pounce making him fall over I add a few more scratches before letting him run. I look around at all the eyes staring at me. I lick my blood covered paw looking from one rouge to the next. I notice the pack wolves back up towards the packhouse with the injured using me as a distraction but little do they know. They are helping me a lot by getting out of the way. The rouges all step towards me. I am surrounded but it doesn't bother me. When they are all close enough I growl again and pounce from one wolf to another. I pull a females heart out before moving on to the next victim. I cut some throats and slash some deeply leaving them to bleed out. When it's just me and a pup who was forced into this. I can tell by how afraid he is of them and the relief when I kill the last one. He isn't even old enough to shift. He has a silver knife in one hand and is now looking at me with fear in his eyes. I jerk my head towards the forest and he runs as fast as possible. I walk over to a puddle of water on the driveway and wash some of the blood off. I know that Drake saw what I did. I look at the door as it opens revealing Drake looking at me wide eyed. I back away unable to look him in the eyes. He comes over to me and crouches down next to me. I look up at his eyes that look relieved to see me. I just slowly step back before giving him one last sad look and running into the forest. I can't do it right now. I run towards human city as Drake calls after me sobbing as I run. I stop near the edge of human city and walk to an abandoned cave to sleep.

***12 years later***

I cross into human city ready to shift again. I haven't come here since he found me in the ally. I go just inside the treeline and shift into human form. I pull out my money and count it. I have $98,000,000 in cash so I hide it in my shoe again other than $500. I walk into a fancy shop looking just like all the rich kids in here. Everybody looks at me in awe as they see my outfit and my face along with my hair. I go over to a rack of dresses pulling out a beautiful black gown with a lacy bottom and red diamonds on the top similar to the one I'm wearing. I love it. I look at the price and sigh. Most would think I robbed a bank if I bought more than the one dress. It costs as much as a mansion. I walk over to the dressing rooms and put on the dress. It fits perfectly. There are apparently only a few dresses like this in the world so it makes sense that it is priced so high. The dress surprisingly fits wonderfully so I put mine back on and walk out holding the dress. The girls are all looking at me in amusement as I walk towards the rack I got it from but I walk passed the rack and towards the shoe section. I grab a new pair of black combat boots that are slightly fancier than the ones I'm wearing. I walk over to the counter. The lady at the counter seems amused with me probably thinking that I don't know how much this cost or my parents bank account can't afford this. She rings it up to $4,000,000.

"Look sweetie you can't afford this one you can save the embarrassment and walk out while you still have your dignity." The girl says. I pull out a huge stack of bills and count out $4,500,000 slapping it down on the counter.

"Keep the change and put that in a bag for me sweetie." I say emphasis on the word sweetie. I hate when people call me that. The girl looks at me wide eyed as she counts the money. The other girls look stunned. The girl puts my dress and shoes in a nice dress bag. I turn to leave when I stop dead in my tracks. I look over and sure enough there is the girl who threw me off of Drake's lap. I am so mad about that still but she doesn't know that I'm a shifter so I ignore her walking out of the shop. I love the dress I'm wearing but I feel like change my clothes even if I don't shift very often. I walk into a store and take in the prices of everything. I spot a mirror that would go great in my cave. I have it decorated to be comfortable in any form. I grab a cart and take the mirror along with makeup and three pet beds. Two for big dogs but different sizes and one for cats. I spot a scratching post that is small but looks fun. I take that too. I grab a few other things that I could use. It's harder to hunt in the snow and I don't feel like storing anything so I buy some food that will last quite a while. When I run out I can just hunt the scarce animals. I don't get too much because human food doesn't taste as good as wild animals. I only get a loaf of bread and a few boxes of cereal. I don't have anywhere to put milk so I will just eat it dry. I pay for everything before leaving and going into the forest. I turn the bags to my arms and legs before shifting. I learned that as long as I am technically wearing something it will disappear when I shift just like my clothes. I run in panther form to my cave behind a waterfall. Us cat shifters can use magic so I concealed this place from the outside. I wouldn't want anyone to come here uninvited. I walk inside and shift to human. I set up everything where I want it and shift to my cat form. The last thing I think before falling asleep is. I want to see Drake tomorrow.

I wake up and remember my thoughts. I look around the cave with my little cat eyes. I stand up and stretch mewling quietly before shifting to human form. I love this dress but I want to wear the new one I got. I put on my new outfit and some makeup because we'll why not. I brush my hair that is already perfect before shifting again. I climb through the waterfall and start to run in the direction of his pack. Drake's wolf didn't let him stay as part of my Clan so he made Drake cut the ties. I know because I could feel his wolf's dislike for the link and Drake's want to keep it. I walk up to the border. I still have my collar but it doesn't fit anymore. I grew but I never let it get damaged. I walk up to the border patrol guard who I recognize as the guy who I saved by killing a rouge that was about to pounce him. I meow drawing his attention. He crouches down with wide eyes filled with recognition. I place my collar down on the ground but stand protectively behind it. He reaches down but I hiss. He sighs and kneels looking at the word on the collar confirming who I am. He motions for me to cross the border. I walk over then turn to him tilting my head questioningly.

"I can't leave my post but you know the way there just knock with your little paws. I mind linked him to open the door when he hears a soft knock. He's waiting at the packhouse." The guy smiles. I nod and dash to the packhouse collar in my mouth. I jump and hit the door with my paws before sitting down, my tail moving back and forth impatiently. When the door opens to see what looks like an older version of the last time I saw Drake he looks around and doesn't see anyone making a small frown appear on his lips. I mew and he looks down at me I glance at the ground shamefully. When he doesn't move I look up at his now shocked face. He looks hurt. I can see it in his eyes. I hurt him but I can still see love in his eyes behind it all. I pick up my collar and place it at his feet before stepping back. He picks up the collar and his breath catches in his throat. A small small comes to his face but it's sad. I want to make that look go away. I feel determination course through my body. I leap up onto his head. I curl up into his wonderful brown hair. He chuckles grabbing me and holding me out Infront of him. I mew tilting my head to the side as if to ask why he took me from my comfy spot. He smiles brightly at me. And hugs me to his chest. I hear the door close before he walks me upstairs to his room. Everything is different. I look over to the wall by his bed to see multiple pictures of us as kids. Most are from when I was asleep there is one of me fighting the rouges and a few with me curled in his lap. I can tell that people took these secretly so we wouldn't notice. Drake takes me over and sits on his bed.

"So Swift when do I get to see you in human form and maybe get to know your real name?" Drake asks completely catching me off guard. I look at him with wide eyes. "I wasn't stupid as a kid you act too human to be a normal cat plus Alpha's get enhanced hearing and smell before we shift I was born with it. I could smell that you were a shifter but you still wanted to come with me even if I am your enemy because of what we are. I don't care if your a cat and I'm a wolf it doesn't matter to me. Also your really cute when you're mad and jealous." He smiles. I sigh and jump down to the floor. I look at him worriedly. "Do your clothes rip when you shift because you can have a shirt if you want?" He asks blushing just realizing that was a possibility. I shake my head and turn away from him shifting to my human form. I now regret wearing this I slowly turn around to look at him and his breath catches in his throat. "Mate." He whispers. I am shocked by this but I feel it too. I can also see the thread connecting our soul's. I slowly step forward and bend down putting one hand on each side of him with my palms flat on the bed. I look at his face up close. We are a breath away and I tilt my head to the side. I put my head in his neck and sniff. He does the same to me.

"So what's your real name?" He asks me sounding breathless. I don't really want to answer him but at the same time I do. I sigh stepping back.

"I hate my real name even though Sky Clan gifted it to me. My name is the reason I left the clan. Do you know how sacred our names are? If you don't understand why it is a shock then I do not wish to tell you." I say looking in his eyes. I know that he really wants to let his eyes roam my body but I can't blame him. I am very gifted in the boob department and I know I have curves that are to die for.

"I know that you start as a kit with whatever breed you are having the suffix kit at the end and that is when you are still considered a baby. Next is an apprentice you get your new name ending in paw that is yours till you become a warrior and get a new name that will last till you die or take the position as clan leader." He says looking at me face.

"Exactly but Sky Clan did something that has never happened before at least that anyone knows. They gave me a name that means nothing. I had to leave. All the clans other than Shadowclan who hardly ever shows up to the gatherings knows of what happened. I ran through Shadowclan to get to human city. My mother is probably so disappointed in me. My name is Zero but I wish to keep the name you gave me instead. I would have been fine staying as Pantherkit but SkyClan is cruel. I would have stayed in the nursery forever if I never had to receive my name although I am glad for the fact that I had a real reason to leave. I have always been different. From the color of my fur to the way I act. I have been told all my life that I act like a human or a dog. No offense but I hated being called those things. I have always been one who loves to run and escape from the confines of the camp. I used to sneak out and hunt as a kit. I was so excited to get my name that I wasn't even nervous. I am the product of a one night stand between my mother and her old clan leader. I don't know why I am the way I am because no one has the answers I want. I ran away because of my name and when I went into human city I found an ally there were a bunch of dogs there and I scared them away. I made a nest of moss and twigs. I was so tired from running and I fell asleep. I woke up in your arms and felt safe and when I saw the collar I knew that you didn't judge me because you didn't know who I was. This was my fresh start but when the rouges attacked I lost control. I couldn't look you in the eye knowing that you saw what I did. I had to leave to be alone. I couldn't bring myself to come back. I thought you hated me. Then I went to buy some things and saw that skank from before the attack I felt the need to come back. I'm sorry and if you want I will leave you alone and never come back." I say looking at my feet with my hands clasped behind my back.

"I don't want you to leave, your my mate and I liked you even when we were kids. Even when I had only seen you in cat form." Drake says. I look up and notice he is now standing inches away from me and I can feel his breath on my face. Suddenly we hear the door start to open and I jump into Drake's arms shifting mid-air so I land as a little white cat.

Slut girl walks in trying to be seductive and failing miserably. It's kind of sad that she thinks it will work. She's wearing a blue mini skirt and a cropped tank top that is way too low cut leaving nothing to the imagination.

"Hey Drakey let's play. I'm bored." She purrs.

"I've told you so many times Stacy I don't like you. Leave me alone. Also stop coming in my room without knocking I could have been having a really important conversation with someone." He glances at me. Stacy just noticed me and scowled.

"You brought that thing back here I thought you got over it. I can't believe that you would want to be around such a disgusting animal." Stacy says with a disgusted look on her face.

I hop down and walk over to her swishing my tail as I walk. When I reach her I mew as a warning before digging my claws into her ugly ass foot. She yelps in pain and surprise. I step back and shake my paw in disgust trying to get the blood off. I stand on my hind legs confusing her and before she knows what I'm doing I wipe my claws on her mini skirt, ripping it in the process. I walk back over to Drake satisfied with my work. I hop into his arms snuggling in his chest. Stacy huffs and storms out of the room. When she slams the door I can't stop myself. I shift back and roll around on the floor laughing my head off. Drake joins in the laughing but lays down on his bed.

The door opens again and she storms in angrily. "I knew it! You do have a girl in here. Who are you stupid bitch! Drake belongs to me you whore!" She yells. I don't react and Drake looks about ready to kill her.

"You done yet?" I ask apparently making her angrier. She doesn't say anything so I continue. "First yes I can be a bitch when it suits me, second if Drake belonged to you then he would be hanging out with you and not me, and third I think you should look in the mirror before calling someone a whore." I say not at all bothered by her presence on the outside but on the inside I'm about ready to rip her head off. I glance up at her to see her opening and closing her mouth like a fish. Completely speechless. She sniffs the air and her eyes go wide.

"Y…your a cat!" She says surprised looking at me like I just grew 2 heads. I smile sitting up with my hands behind my back holding me up.

"Exactly and I am the same cat that came when we were 4 so if you would be so kind as to get the hell out before I kill you that would be great." I say smiling sweetly while my ears, tail, and claws come out in a half shift showing my want to rip her apart. Stacy looks terrified. She backs up to the door. You would think my tail would rip my clothes but instead it just goes through them. We are magic after all. No matter what I wear it won't rip because of my shifting. Stacy turns and runs out like her ass is on fire so I put my claws away leaving my tail and ears as they are.

I stand up and lay on the bed next to Drake with a sigh. "You can reject me you know?" I say more than ask avoiding eye contact.

"Why would I do that?" Drake asks. I look at him to see he is smiling at me. I shift into my cat form and curl into his side. I purr and close my eyes till I drift to sleep.

*****Mistyfoot POV*****

I am in my den curled up in my nest. I hope my little baby is ok. My little Pantherkit. My Zero. My CrystalCat. I have always known my baby was special. I asked Sky Clan to give her a different name so that she would be safe. If she had stayed I would have told her. I didn't tell those old farts in Sky Clan to give her an unusual name I wanted them to give her a good name that isn't CrystalPaw like she was supposed to get. I already yelled at them about it. I just hope that I can tell her about the prophecy. She isn't my biological kit but I love her just the same. Her real mom was my best friend. She was killed in a rouge attack along with Crystals father. Her mother was a cat and her father a wolf. I wanted to tell her but now I don't even know if she's alive.
