The Cat and The Mouse ( Episode 1: My New Life Starts )

July 18, 2016

     It was a morning, on a Monday. No school, just summer vacation for a while. I was bored to death on the 5th day of summer already. My parents still went to work and I am the only child in the family. The names Haratora, and I'm 17 years old. There's nothing special about me, I'm just a gamer and that's it. 

     I got out of bed and woke my mutt up, I call him that even though he's a pug. I pick him up and walk into the kitchen while I place him on the island counter. I look at him and he just barks.

This is me, Haratora.

" What do you want Spoink. Geez, I just woke up." I ignore her hunger

     I put a waffle in the toaster and pour me some coffee. I looked next to me and saw our cat Mrs. Whiskers, she's a crazy cat who has too much energy to handle with. I laugh and pet her head as she purrs more and more. I take my waffle out of the toaster and spread butter all over it, then I pour maple syrup on it. I put the plate on the island and eat it there. I finish and clean the plate in the sink. Spoink followed me to the living room, and Mrs. Whiskers sat on my lap while I sat down on the sofa. I turned the TV on and the news was on, I changed the channel to see that Castle was on, my favorite murder show. 

    Spoink sits next to me as I watch TV, Mrs. Whiskers just lays on her back. I continue to watch TV until 8:00 AM, that's when I feed these two nut balls. 

" Breakfast time you two," I say and head back to the kitchen.

     I gave some kibble to Spoink and some wet food for Whiskers. I gave them their food at the same time and went back to the sofa. I went back to the News and saw that it would be thundering today. I locked the dog and cat door, so they both would stay inside. I turned the TV off and was bored with myself.

' Wait it can't thunder in summer, or can it.' I thought to myself

     I looked to my right to see my cat just sitting there. She was showing me her teeth, which kind of scared me.

" What do you want," I said as I looked into her eyes.

" I want you to let me out." She meowed

" Wait, did I hear you correctly." I yelled

" Meowwwww." She yawned while licking her paws

" Good you didn't speak," I spoke out loud.

     I patted her head and placed her on my lap, petting her stomach. I looked down at my phone and my friend Kozikun wanted to hang. He's one of my best friends, we play Minecraft together often. I text him back and forth for a while until he text's in caps that there is no thunder storm today. I look outside and it's sunny out, I rubbed my head in confusion. I laugh and reply to him.

" Dude, it was on the News," I argue.

" Nope, and I watch it everyday man." He texted

" Fine, then it's just over my house, only," I answer and didn't get a reply back.

     I wait for another 5 minutes, no reply. I walk outside with my cat in my arms and see a dark cloud over my house, so far I was right. I watch as it turns different colors and a figure comes out of it. A girl stepped out of it and landed right next to me. Mrs. Whiskers hissed at her and ran back into the house, I just stood there. I watched as she looked at every inch of me, it was like an inspection for drugs. I tried to speak but every time I did she put a finger up to my mouth.

" You seem very new." She described and she looked at my face

" What do you mean," I ask her.

" Your a mage aren't you, you can be my familiar." She laughed

" What's a mage," I ask again. 

" Someone who can wield magic," She laughed even more.
" Magic? That's real." I screamed
" Yes, you should know since your parents are two of them." She explained

     I was shocked and interested at the same time, my parents are mages and they never told their only son. How can they do that to me but was it for my own good. I look at the girl standing there who looks like someone I know.

This is Hachi.

" Hachi?" I question
" What?"
" Oh my god, your my sister." I yell
" You finally remembered who I am to you, good. Now mother sent me so you can be my familiar, meaning you serve me and protect me." She explained more
" Oh, then I'll do it. But one thing, what magic do I have." I asked
" Not yet." She laughed and kissed my cheek

     I watched her walk away and fly back into the thunder storm. After she disappeared, the thunder storm disappeared with her. What was I going to do, my sister just asked me to be her familiar and told me I was a mage, how crazy is this.
