We entered the coffee shop and took our orders. We went and sat down and waited for two minutes and a man came out with our drinks and serves us and winks at scourge I growl at him and he nearly trips.Scourge laughs and sips his coffee. I grin and soon we finish our coffee and we are on the street again. After I thought we could go to the food bank. So we do and after scourge is carrying two bags of food and I am carrying the thrift shop bags. Finally we reach the tree house and we enter. We put the bags down and sit on the bed to rest.

"Why are you so nice!?" Scourge asks.

"Well because you deserve it!" I say smiling. I could see in his eyes that he had a hard life.

"Wow.I lo- your amazing!" He blushes.

"You are too. Now lets start unpacking!" I grin.

Opening the bags I pull out the the giant pillow, the wood planks, a gas powered small stove, the umbrella, the oddly bright pair of yellow boots, clock, duct tape, journal, about 15 books, two baseball caps, that's when I notice to neck collars. One was a very light blue and the other was a dark blue. They had half's of hearts made from bones and on the one it said BF and the other said Fl. Best friends for life. Scourge chuckled and hugged me from behind.

"This is my thanks to you" he smiled and I felt like I was going to die of happiness. Best friends for life. I think I'm glad that squirrelflight rejected me and im very glad scourge accepted me. A friend. I HAVE A FRIEND!!! I can't speak I turn around and hug the life out of scourge.

"Urm.. try not to kill me here" he says I giggle and let go.

"Thank you!!!" I grin wildly. I take the light blue one and put it on him an he puts the dark blue on me.

"If this is a dream I don't wanna wake up" I hug him again.

"Ha ha me to"

"Lets get everything set up!" I smile and stand up and pull him up with me and he starts putting things in different places while I unpacked food and I started making us lunch which was sandwiches and juice. Luckily the people at the food bank gave us paper cups and plates. So just as scourge finishes I finish too and we walk over to the bed and eat in a peaceful silence. Its late after noon when we finish eating and I hear a telephone ringing I walk to my bag and take out my phone I forgot I had and answer.

"Ashfur!?!?! Where are you??" My mothers panicked voice rang in my ear.

"Oh. I'm at a friends house." I answer.

"A friends hmm? Who?" She hums.

"Well his name is scourge he-" I get cut off.

"What! Scourge a black cat!?" She says frantically.

"Umm yeah"

"Oh no you need to get out of there!! Do you know where you are?!" She freaked out.

"Mom he is really nice!!" I try to persuade her.

"No he is not! He is a killer!!"

"What? No he isn't! He is the only person that understands me he is my first and only friend and I don't want to leave him!" When I finish I was crying and scourge came over to me and hugged me tightly and removed the phone from my hand. I still hear my mother frantically yelling and asking if im still okay.

"Shhh ashfur it will be ok. You'll see me at school remember." He smiled hugging me and rocking me gently.

"I don't want to leave you! I-I don't want to go away from you."I cried in to his chest.

"Ash don't worry. You should go home and not worry. Ok?" He says painfully slow. I sigh and close my eyes if I could just stay in his arms forever.

"Come on I'll walk you home mkay?"

"Oh okay" We stand up and I gather my things and we exit the tree house. We soon reach the school we stop on the side walk and wait for my mom to pick me up. I sigh. I hope he doesn't forget me. I had only been with him for a day and a half but it felt like years I was with him. I lean on scourge and look at him he was silently crying. I look at the street and saw my moms car. She spotted me and stopped beside me and told me to get in. I trudged over to the car and open the door but first I turn around and take scourges paws and pull him in-front of the window and my mother looked out in fear. I hugged him tightly and I pecked his cheek. I leaned up his ear and said "This will be our little thing. Right?" He nodded vigorously. I hug him tighter and grin. I was happy, the most happy I have ever been.
That was until my mother pulled me in to the car and drove off angrily.

"NO!!" I cried.

"What were you thinking! Kissing a guy. What do you want to got to hell or something. Not to mention you kissed a killer! Of all the people you could make a friend with!?" She yelled at me. Oh yeah I forgot to mention my mom is very religious. She also hated gay and lesbian couples. I ignored her and silently sobbed looking out the window. I wanted to be back in that sexy black cats arms. I wanted to kiss his furry face and hug the life outta him.

Soon we were home and I was dragged into the house. I angrily pulled away from my mom and stalked upstairs to my room. I flop on to the bed and cry myself to sleep. When I open my eyes again it was really dark outside realizing I was still in scourges clothes I take off the shirt and use it as my pillow case and I take my pants off and snuggle in to bed. I smell the shirt. Chocolate. I hug the pillow and cried. I was heart broken. Like someone sliced my heart up a million times. I hear the window blow open. I sigh and walk over and close it and walk back over to my bed. But the funny thing is someone is already occupying it. It was a black cat with one white paw and ice blue eyes. I almost scream in happiness. He came to me. He was only wearing boxers like me.

"S-scourge!?" I almost cry I'm so happy.

"Would you like to come here and kiss me?" He asks and I nodded eagerly poncing on him and pinned him down on the bed and kissed every inch of his face.

"I missed you too" he laughs.

"Oh my god I missed you even If it was four hours" I hug him feeling my heart get bandaged up and I felt light and happy. "I love you" he kisses me on the cheek and smiles. I got up and locked the door to make sure that my parents wouldn't come in.

I walk back to bed and lay beside him. I wonder about what my mother said earlier. Not to mention you kissed a killer! Scourge killed someone? But why? I decide not to ask now so I could just enjoy a little while longer with the crazy black cat I love. I hug him tight and he rubs my back. I purr. He chuckles and we slip in to the world of randomness and odd dreams.

I open my eyes sun was pouring out of the open window. I sigh at the empty place in my bed were scourge was sleeping beside me last night. If it wasn't a dream. I glance over at my dresser and my eyes met with a cup of hot chocolate with a rose and a note. I miss you, see you tomorrow ~ S

I smile and pull myself to the table and start to drink the warm chocolate beverage. I pick up the rose and smell it. Beautiful. I find a vase and place it in it. I felt hypnotized by the rose making me remember scourge. My mother came in about two hours after I woke up and past me a tray of food. I say nothing and change my stare to outside. I watch cars '1, 2, 3, 4,......' I sigh and go to my bed and read since after the 167 car I got bored with the little counting game. Once I finish the book I crawl out of bed to look out the window; the sun was in the middle of the sky and I let out a long growl of boredom. The freaking day is taking to long to go by! I look around and find a piece of paper and a pencil on my desk so I walked over to it and sit down and pick up the pencil and draw a picture. It was of me and scourge in the tree house playing video games. 'Ha I won' I think. Looking out the window again I sigh it was going to set in about two hours. I realize that I might want to do my homework that was in a neat pile on my desk it was due tomorrow and I had five pages to do. I grip the pencil in my had and start to work on homework after I pin the picture I made on the wall.

My attention is pulled to my phone and I look at the time 9:31 oh crap. I was startled by a knock on the door. It was my dad.

"Can I come in?" He asks politely. I nod in approval and he walks in and sits on the bed.

"I assume you haven't heard about the black murder?" He questions.

"No" I respond.

"Well it happened two years ago you were only thirteen. When news broke out of a murder that happened down the street from us. Your mom freaked out and was concerned about the murder coming to get us. They soon found another body and this time with a note and black fur was in the claws of the victim. The note said ' I hope your learning. This wont be the last. ' Then the third body was found and a note ' How is it going with the search. By the way I'm not as far as you think.' Then cats started turning on each other. All black cats around the area where taken in and so was scourge. They had tested the fur and it was a match to scourge and he had three long scratches on his chest.... they took him to prison for two years he only got out afew months ago. Scourge had apparently killed three cats at the age of 14. They name the incident the black murder. This is why your mother freaked out so much. " he finishes with a sigh. I couldn't speak. Speechless. Had I really fell for a killer? The only cat to befriended me was a murderer.

"I'm sorry." My dad said and hugged me. I hug back but I was completely inaudible.
