Rythian's Cat Part 8

    It's been about a week since I turned kitty, and other than the occasional walk with Tee, nothing much happened. Zoey still tries to get me to come to her and tries to pet me every so often. which is wired.... Rythian steers clear of me for the most part, only interacting with me if he has to and to put down my food.

    Rythian hasn’t come down stairs in the middle of the night again. But he didn’t get up at dawn with Zoey today like he usually does. He didn’t put down my food ether, Zoey did.

    I'm not worried! certainly not! Just curious. I debate venturing up stairs to see him, but decide that that’s probably not a good idea. If he has any idea once so ever about who I am, and he feels even the slightest bit threatened in his what I assume to be vulnerable state, he will not hesitate to destroy said threat.

    He will not hesitate to destroy me.

    I shiver at the thought. I don’t think he knows anything for sure, because i'm still alive and in his home, but I don’t really feel like risking my life to see if Rythian is OK. I-i mean to learn about what can make him ill! I don’t care about his well-being in the slightest!

    Zoey looks worried though and as soon as she puts my food down she disappears into their room again. I don’t see ether of them for a few hours and when Zoey finally does comes down again, it's only for a few minutes. She wets a cloth, before she hurriedly makes her way back up the stairs.

    I don’t see Teep ether. I don’t know if he is also with Rythian, or if he is keeping watch from his tower, now that the guard system is short one mage.

    Ether way he's not here, and I find myself feeling the effects of boredom. I cant sit still, and I debate finding that ball of yarn again, but that would require me going into Rythian's room...And that's not really something I want to do.

    I try to go search for Teep outside but find I am unable to open the door...i scratch at it a bit but no one is downstairs to see it. I try and do as Teep did a few days ago. and open it with my tail, but I cant reach it.

    “Meow!” I call exasperated. I give up on trying to open the door and return to the couch. I sit there for awhile and just think. This occupies me for a short while before my thoughts rest on what could possible take Rythian down. He doesn’t go easily. I should know.

    Could it be the same thing that brought him downstairs the first night I was here? If so what exactly is it? Could I diagnose it if I got a better look? My mind is filled with question and I wonder what will get me in his room first. The boredom or the curiosity?

    In the end it was a mixture of the two that got me climbing the spiral staircase up to the bedroom. I walk down the hallway and find the doors open. I walk in and make my presence known with a soft meow.

    Zoey looks up from her place by the bed and smiles at me, but I can see tears in her eyes. She quickly wipes them away with the back of her hand and calls to me.

    “Hey there, Bekant. Come here kitty.” She sniffles and I walk over to her. She seems please at me finally coming to her and pats the bed twice. I take this as a sign to jump up and do just that. I let her pet me for a bit before curiosity got the better of me and I adjust me place on the bed so that I can see Rythian.

    I don’t like what I see.
