Otome

-Snow-

This was the worst punishment ever. I would rather take being hung up in a tree or down in the dungeon then being small and having the necklace. What sort of sick sense of humor did Lady Amora have? Everyone’s going to pick on me I know it. This really sucks because I really wanted to be alone with Candy tonight. She looked so beautiful in that kimono.

Well at least Amora made some clothes for me since I don’t know how long I’m going to be stuck like this.

“I’m going to head out then.” Talon said as we was talking out of my room.

“Okay…” I answered quietly glancing over at him then went back to my dresser to find clothes that were the right size.

I heard my door shut as I clung onto the towel that I had wrapped around me and dug in the drawer with my free hand. I pulled out a smaller version of my pants and put them on then found a long sleeved shirt and put that on as well. The shirt was a little baggy, but for now I would have to get over it. My hair was back down to the cent of my back. I guess this was the easiest way for Amaor to put the seal back on. I sighed and looked at the top of my dresser. My hair ties were up there but I couldn’t reach them now.

“Maybe I can try that.” I muttered to myself and turned back into my cat form, which was now a cub again and backed away from the dresser. “1…3!” I siad to myself and charged at my dresser and jumped. I got my front paws up on the top and dug my claws in to pull myself the rest of the way up. I grabbed a hair tie with my mouth then looked at my door.

‘I wonder what Candy is up to. Her hair is got to be wet to. I can always get back up here and get another one. I’ll take this one to her.’ I decided and jumped down. Luckily talon didn’t shut my door all the way and I could push the door open with my paw before I trotted down the hall to Candy’s room.

I worked at the door and got it open. When I looked in she had her back to the door as she was laying on her bed. I wandered over to her and about half way to her bed I broke into a run so I could jump at the bed and get up. After I got up I climbed over her legs and saw her hugging one of her pillows. She looked sad. I went over to her and set the hair tie down on her hand. After I set it down I had to fight the urge to start playing with it. Damn these kitten tendencies and wanting to play with everything.

A small smile found it’s way across her lips and she slipped the hair tie onto her wrist and then placed a hand on my head and started petting me. I couldn’t help but start to purr. She was so gentle, I loved her sent, and she’s a nice person. I didn’t think that I would ever get close to someone, but Candy has really changed that.

She giggled a little because I was purring. “See I’m not scary like this.” I told her as I opened one of my eyes to look at her.

“You’re also a cub.” She smiled and pulled me into her body. I could feel her heart beat against me.

How I wish I was my actual age against so I could wrap my arms around her and kiss her passionately. She kissed me. That means she like’s me doesn’t it? I’m not too sure about how human’s work but I am willing to learn.

“That’s true…” I said. She still sounded sad though. I wanted to be able to help in some way. Oh I got it! I pushed myself out of her arms and then pounced on her. “Play.” I said getting off.

She looked at me confused so I did it again. “Play!” I exclaimed and sat like a pretty kitty on her bed.

She giggled and sat up. “Okay, we can play.” She smiled then got off her bed. “Try and catch me.” She said and ran out her door.

I chased after her. The one time where I can’t easily catch up to her she decides that we will play this game. Well I’ll try my best. She turned the corner ahead of me and I was going at my full speed. I turned the corner and then it was too late when I realized that the other spirits had just cleaned the floor so it was slick and I went sliding on my stomach down the hall.

I sighed in frustration after I stopped and tried to get up but my soft kitten paws would have none of that and I fell back onto the floor. I turned back into my human form so I could actually stand up. When I stood up I realized that my hair was now to the floor. I had no choice now I needed to get a hair tie and put it up. I walked off the slick floor and I could hear Candy laughing and I followed her sweet laugh to where she was hiding.

I grabbed onto her leg and looked up to her with a smile. “I found you Candy.”

She put a hand on my head and laughed. “Yes you did. Your hair is so long again.”

I nodded. “I guess Amora decided that I couldn’t fuss if she redid the seal with me being little. So I shouldn’t go mad again.”

She turned me around then I heard her sit down behind me. “What are you doing?” I asked her.

“I’m putting you hair up silly.” She answered as I felt her hands lightly pull on my hair and pulling it back.

I stood there quietly as I let her put up my hair. It was strange having someone else doing it. I’ve done my own hair all my life. I guess at the same time I was still getting use to people caring about me. No one seemed to ever care about me. They thought I was scary and pushed me away when all I wanted to do was make friends. I know my nails are sharp, but I couldn’t do much about it. The villagers hated me. I didn’t have a mom or a dad to go home to. I didn’t even really have a place to call home.

It was nice to have a family. I loved everyone here even though I would never admit it to anyone. Especially that damn narwhal. If he knew I would never hear the end of it.
