I had just asked my question when I sensed someone watching us. Pretending not to notice, I kept my face smooth and unreadable. I girl sepped around the corner, she wasn't human, I searched through the various scents of species in my head and I came up blank. This was unusual.
Just then, I also noticed that she had a cat with me. Suddenly the impact of my power hit her and she took a small step backwards.
"Tell me young lady, will you bite her?” I got a small shock as the cat spoke. It wasn't unheard of though.
"No, I won't do that" I said, allowing a small smile to touch my lips.
“See, no need to be afraid my lady, just come here approach me. Even if she hurt you, I’ll protect you Lulu. No worries.” The cat said. I felt like snorting. As if that could could protect her, I could simply order him aside I told myself. It was true too.
The girl, took a few tentative steps towards me.
"Lulu" she said, thrusting out her hand.
"Catherine. That cat talks?" I took her hand in my tiny one and shook firmly.
“I’m not who you think I am. I used to be a lad in my previous day. I was cursed. That’s all. Anyway milady, I’m Xanxiera. Xanxiera Frost.” The cat introduced himself “Lulu is shy and does not talk much. I only know her name but not her backgrounds. She’s a bit odd at first but, you’ll get used to it.”
Odd, curses are hard, it would have to be a very powerful witch for it to be a full transformation I didn't let my smile fall. Lulu turned and stared at Xanxiera.
Finally he said “Care us be one of your comrades?” I nodded, deciding that, with humans now after us, it would be better to group. strength in numbers
All this time the man I had been questioning had stood, forgotten. I turned to him now.
"You can join us too" I said, letting my mask of indifference fall once more over my face.
