Magic Exists - Jinx (books for 8th graders TXT) 📗

(Kizzie's p.o.v)


Having cat ears and fluffy tail isn't fun. They appeared when i was only fifteen, i stayed home for a week when i managed to make them disappear when i wanted. it took a lot of concentration. I was seventeen now and i finished school last year. I work in a resturaunt as a waitress and do my best to stay out of trouble. I seemed to attract trouble like a fridge magnet, it was a terrible flaw, my friends only find it funny. They don't know about my cat ears or tail, no one does. And i liked to keep it that way. I didn't like it knowing i had a deep secret, a second appearnce that would scare others away.

I lived in a small flat close to work. I liked being at home, i was able to have relax and let out my true appearance. I wanted to get away though. I kept having dreams of strange places and magical beings. Others like myself, but it was only a dream. I had three friends, kylie, Aisha and Rob. They kept me up to date with the world and took me out places that were crowded and supposedly fun. But their idea of fun was sex and alcohol. One sniff of it made me gag, the only thing that made me feel drunken was cat nip and it felt weird to even buy because i didn't own a cat.

I pulled off my apron and went into the kitchen to hang it up. My shift was done for the day so i could go do my shopping and go home. Aisha and Kylie were coming over later for a movie night of chick flicks and musicals. I waved to everyone before grabbing my bag and leaving. I was dressed in light blue jeans and a green tank top with my favorite black converses on. I shook my blonde short hair and walked into the busy streets. (My hair turned blue when i changed to my true appearance) I made my way to my usual store and brought the essentials as well as drinks and snacks for tonight. But i couldn't help feeling someone watching me, it was an odd feeling and i kept looking around everywhere checking for anything suspicious.

On my way back i passed a pet store. Something was drawing me too it and it definitetly wasn't cat nip. I walked in sniffing and looked at the animals, i felt a need too, the dogs growled at me but the cats all looked to me. And I could hear them all in my head, something that came along with my ears and tail.

'Take us home, the shop owners hate's us all' i heard one say. 'We know you, take us' another said.
There were only five of them but they're pleading cries called to something deep inside me. I couldn't leave them, i had to, plus i guess it would be company for me at home.

I walked up to the desk and the grey haired woman looked up at me and she scowled "Yes?"
I kept my anger in check luckily "I would like the cats please" I smiled lightly.
Her eyes brightened slightly "All five?" she asked eagerly "Yes, m'am".

She almost cried with joy as she opened the cages and handled them roughly. I had no idea how i was going to carry them home along with the food I needed to buy and essentials for them. She grabbed a two cat-carriers one slightly bigger than the other putting them inside. They weren't expensive either.

"Do you deliver?" i asked hopefully.
"Yes dear, i'll need the adress" she said as i placed all the cat essentials on the desk.

"You do mean the cat things not the cats right?" she asked a little skitty about it.
"Yes, i just can't carry all these things home" she nodded as i wrote down the adress.
"The delivery will be at four, is that ok?" she seemed to like me a lot more now.

"Yes that's fine, thankyou" I said as i left the store doing my best to holld the bags and the cat-carriers at the same time.

'Thank you, miss' i heard one of them say. "You're welcome" i smiled down at them. I put my bags on the ground and managed to flag a cab. I never had an intention of spending so much money but i had alot because i didn't spend much anyway so i was quite lucky.

When i got in i let the cats out who rubbed themselves against me and purred loudly showing me affection. I shut the door relaxing feeling my tail push out above my jeans and my hair push through my hair. I put my stuff away and sat on my sofa and the cats sat with me. They were all unique. The pure white one with violet eyes was called Kaz (Male), The bright ginger one with pale green eyes was called Jinx (female) The black one with bright blue eyes was called Dex (Male) The black and white one was called Yuni (Female) and the last one was grey and extremely fluffy with the brightest yellow eyes i had ever seen, called Jay (male).

'We are very grateful, Kizzie" Kaz said curling around my shoulders.
"That's ok, are you going to stasy with me?" I asked as Dex curled beside me and yuni stretched in my lap. Jinx on the top of the couch with her head resting on mine.

"Of course we will" Kaz assured me, he seemed to be leader of the little group. I smiled and continued watching TV when i felt someone watching me again. A shiver ran through me as i tried to ignore it until the buzzer from the intercom made me concentrate on that instead. It was my delivery and i was quitehappy now that i could set all the things around my flat. The cat beds went randomly around the flat. I felt happy having their presence.

"You guys hungry?" I asked as i filled my one empty cupboard with cat food and treats and other essentials. They purred instantly following me into the kitchen as i placed food out into theplastic bowls and one big bowl of water for them. I laughed as they ate greedily still trying to purr at the same time. I left them too it and went back into the front room flopping onto my couch and flicking through the channels coming across 'the big bang theory'.


-------- LATER ---------


I had told them all about my friends and they agreed to be friendly. Aisha and Kylie arrived and screamed in delight just at the sight of them.

"They're adorable" They cooed as i told them which one was which and petted them. "Why five of them, though?" Kylie asked.

I shrugged "I couldn't just pick one of them i had to have them all, plus it'll give me good company, it was getting lonely here by myself" i explained
"True, they're just so adorable"

We spent the evening laughing and crying at the movies and eating all the snack food and drink. The cats stayed with us either curled up with me or them. I offered the girls to stay the night because it was midnight and i knew it could get dodgey but Rob called inviting us to a party because he could pick us up.

"No it's ok, plus i don't want to leave the cats here on their own for the first night" I shook my head with an apologetic look. "Yeah, course, plus it's at Garry's i think it would be awkward if you went there" Aisha said.

Garry was my ex-boyfriend. He was a cheat like most guys it seems, i didn't care too much now because his kisses were always sloppy and wet. He held me too tight and liked to treat me like a possesion. I was lucky to escape from him really. I Grabbed a tight tank top and some baggy shorts with a hole for my tail to go through. I brushed my sharp little teeth and stretched out and flopped onto my bed and the cats curled up with me. I was watching grease 2 on my small tv in my room and fell asleep feeling the comfort of having cat company aroound me.

'KIZZIE!' Jinx screamed at me, i woke looking at her with sleepy eyes "What is it?" I asked and that was when i felt a strong pressence in the house. I gasped feeling scared, the cats crowded me growling and hissing as a man walked into my room, his movements were quick and i couldn't see his features but i was grabbed and pulled from the bed and i felt something wash over me causing me to black out, the last thing i saw was my cats falling asleep like myself. I was being kidnapped i think and was scared witless.

I felt strange and groggy, was it a dream? I wasn't sure until i felt a silk sheet brush my skin. I slowly opened my eyes to a fairly dark room. I was lead on a four poster bed with curtains drawn back. There were fancy frames with detailed paintings on the walls. I sat up feeling a dull ache in my back. It clicked as i stretched, I looked down and found my cats beside me. Relief flooded me and i stroked their soft fur and hugged them close waking them up.
"Kizzie, can't breath!" Jinx gasped, i let go but they walked all over me rubbing their scents onto me. They're strangely protective of me I see.
"It's good to see you well" Jay said purring in my ear.
"I'm glad to see you all unharmed too, at first i though it was a dream. Do you guy's know where we are?" I said, my voice shaking slightly.
"No, sorry, we were blacked out just like you" Kaz said.
I lead back down and sighed heavily, why was here? why was i taken? There had to be a reason and someone was bound to come to this room soon. I have a feeling that the door will be locked and the windows too. My stomach growled stomach growled at me, i was hungry and so were the cats. Hopefully someone would come soon. I stood up and made sure to check the door which was locked like I thought. Maybe if
