Not Your Everyday Cat [Eve]

@"Evelyn Pierce"

Being only half-transformed, he decided to only wear some baggy pants, so he felt how she hugged him, burying her face on his soft fur. He took a deep sigh, patting her head gently, he really had nowhere to go that night, and from sleeping on a soft warm bed to sleep on the hard cold concrete of the streets, his choice was pretty darn obvious.

He gently picked her up and carried her bridal style to her bedroom “I’ll stay” He said almost on a whisper, sitting on the bed with her still on his arms. Each time he thought that he was close to fully solving the puzzle behind this girl, a new detail popped up and he had to start from scratch all over again. Well, at least that was enough to keep him interested instead of locking him on the boring routine that he had to repeat over and over since the very first day of his creation.

“There is one thing that I can’t understand, you broke down to tears after telling me about how you were mistreated, but right after that you go and try to hurt yourself. Why you do that?” His eyes were firmly locked on the delicate form of the girl on his arms, not sure if he could let her down without risk of her running off to try to hurt herself again.

Chasing her around the house over and over to save her wasn’t something that he would like at all, so if he could save himself the trouble just by holding her like that, he would just keep the firm yet gentle grasp for as long as he saw fit.

Mephis was a bit deep in his thoughts after the girl’s words, after all his years of living he knew how easily mortals could break under certain kinds of torture, and for what he was hearing she had to go though one of the worst kinds. She was broken and bended to the point where she felt only as a weapon, a weapon meaning to be held by someone. Yet, at the same time, there was still a part of her that wasn’t willing to just die and was fighting to show itself and get over the gloomy personality that was trying to suffocate it so badly.

He was taken away from his thoughts and looked at her once more when she started to snuggle, moving his ears and tail a bit. He started to purr a bit as she started to brush her fingers through his fur, he couldn’t really help it, just liked the feeling.

He had to admit it, the whole…situation was starting to make some thoughts roam around his head, but he quickly tried to ignore them. If he wanted to stay and satisfy his interest, keep the girl’s trust was a must, and doing anything to her could easily shatter that. He had to resist, at least for now.

After Evelyn fell asleep he slowly got up and, as careful as possible to not wake her, placed her on the bed, putting the covers over her body carefully. He grabbed her dog tags gently, not really having any issue to read both languages. His preferred language was English, but when you live for so long you have to learn a lot of languages, both old and new, Russian being one of those.

He found it interesting, how humans could degrade other members of their own kin to this, weapons ready to be handled and used to kill the ones around them. He paid close attention to her handler’s tag, wondering where he could be. The girl talked like if she was used to sleep in the same bed as him, so he was feeling a bit confused. He didn’t really cared for him at all, he probably was just an average human or creature thinking that he was more important than her…tch, foolish humans with their superiority thoughts, he had seen a lot of empires fall because of that ways of thinking, turning the once powerful kings into pathetic excuses of a human, begging for their lives.

But he wouldn’t tolerate it if he tried to break the young subject of his interest. If he did, he would at least get a new soul to deliver to his king…and something to entertain him for a couple of hours. He may be a lesser demon, but he still liked to torture those who got on his nerves.

He reverted back to his cat form and curled up against the girl, closing his eyes and allowing sleep to take over.

Mephis rarely had any kind of dreams, so when he slept he just was submerged in complete darkness , a darkness that oddly enough was enough to allow him to rest and feel that strange pleasure that came from the sole act of sleeping. He could undersatnd why so many of the summoneable demons decided to stay asleep between summonings.

However, sooner than later a delicious smell reached his nose, making him sniff the air while still deep asleep. He slowly started to wake up and open his eyes, flicking his ears a bit from time to time. Once he finally had fully opened his eyes and his sight adjusted, he joticed the tadty treat infront of him, raising his head and using a paw to pull Evelyn’s hand closer to his face to be able to get it.

After eating the pleasant surprise he licked his lips and got up, stretching lazily while yawning “Thanks for the shrimp, Evelyn” He almost purred, his voice still a bit sleep. He never had been awaken with a tasty snack before, and had to say it, he obviously liked the small detail.

Mephis got comfortable on Eve’s arms as she scooped him up, moving his tail to show his contempt. He almost forgot that this girl wasn’t his owner thanks to the care that she was showing towards him. She said that she knew about the pain that meant going through hunger and how she wanted a companion with her, but still, she was being incredibly kind towards him.

He was wondering if this was just because he was the new thing around the house, kinda like how kids got when they got new toys, making them go crazy over them for the first days only to forget about them completely after that period of time, or if there was something else. What would happen if he decided to stay for a couple of days? Would he still be treated like this or she would start taking him for granted and forget about him.

He licked his lips when he looked at the fish and the milk, well, at least the girl was doing a wonderful work on tempting him to stay. As soon as he was put down he started to eat the fish and the shrimps, careful to be as polite as possible. Only after he was done he started to drink the milk, almost purring as he did it. If this girl kept giving him milk, he was going to come back as often as possible for sure, even if for any reason he decided to not make a contract with her after all.
