((Y/N)'s POV)

I woke up while it was still dark out and the washcloth was still in my mouth while I was cuffed to the bed. I tried to get out of here but my wrists wouldn't slip through and the fear I was feeling was going to make me cry. I saw a faint shadow and heard soft snoring which means that cat monster lady was in here and asleep. I had to be careful or else she would wake up and I won't be able to leave. I tried for what felt like hours to slip free but when the sun was coming up, I started to panic and really pulled hard until I hurt myself!

(Mitzi's POV)

I woke up to the sounds of metal rattling and muffled cries. Last night came back to me so I got up and looked to see the creature struggling, thrashing, and hyperventilating, just trying to escape.

They looked scared so I went up to them to take the gag out and the sound of crying filled the room. I looked at his wrists and they looked like he tried to escape and struggled for hours like some schmuck trying to get out of paying back a debt or refusing to talk. I never did this to a child before. They even looked scared to death of me and this time it was not because of my boys behind me and I do hate to be the bad guy. Maybe this calls for a different approach so I stroked his cheek while reaching for the key and freed his legs so he backed up to have more room to move his hands. I think this was out of fear but he still let me stroke his cheek.

Mitizi-Hey, Sweet thing. How about we start over on friendlier terms? My name is Mitzi May but most around here call me Ms. M. How about your name?

(Ivy's POV)

Breakfast was on me and Freckle as per the wager we had but we really ordered for him. We were thinking about the creature from last night and how he even scared everyone when he ran around, and then Ms. M had them put in her office for a private talk. All of that makes me lose my appetite but Rocky can put food away like nothing happened.

Rocky-You gonna drink that coffee? *muffled* *gulp*

Freckle-Here.

Freckle pushed his coffee over to Rocky and he poured syrup to it. I had enough of this and wanted to know what was going on in that conk of his.

Ivy-Rocky. Do you mind if I just ask a itty bitty question?

Rocky-Sure.

I slammed my hands on the table which made him flinch and since we were the only ones in here right now, I can say what I please!

Ivy-How can you sit there and chew without a care in the world?!

Rocky-But... it's blueberry pancakes.

Ivy-We had a doozy of a night and you look like it doesn't even bother you!

Rocky-Blasamy! It was a true horror tale but it is the price to discover something as the unknown tests one's determination for science. So it may involve waffle irons, poison fangs, and other deadly things and I say to not stray! 

Freckle-You think it could also be a demon?

Rocky went back to eating and I just wondered what was going on with the creature right now.

(Mitzi's POV)

This little guy is completely harmless. No claws, no fangs, soft skin, no fur for warmth, no sense of anything as good as mine, and all he did when I touched him was shiver. I even pushed a little further to uncuff his wrists but he only backed up and curled against the wall just like he did last night. To think Viktor was going to shoot him. I got the little guy's name but that was it.

Mitzi-(Y/N), you think you can look at me for a moment?

He only peeked at me from his knees with fear and tears in his eyes. Poor thing looked unkept and his hair looked greasy as well as smelling bad so he really does need a bath. I thought that my bathroom would be a one way exit kind of deal but I don't want to risk them making a makeshift weapon or escape plan so... looks like I need to give them one.

Mitzi-You need a bath.

(Y/N)-*Whimper* Wh-Where is it?

Mitzi-I'll take you there. I have to keep an eye on you myself.

(Y/N)-B-But... I'll be-... And you'll see-.

Mitzi-I have seen a lot in my life. Nothing to be ashamed of and besides if you try something you might end up just hurting yourself. I'll only be right outside the tub.

I wasn't lying because sometimes this business gets messy and a lady can see a lot. The worst case in this is that-.

(Timeskip 30 Minutes)

I had to wash them myself. They don't know the difference between shampoo and conditioner and when they wanted to add more cold water while watching me sit on the sink and using the tub to hide as much as he could, he added more hot and burned himself. I found out he has some of the same parts as a boy and the water turned a little brown at first. By the end out it, he was lean, smelled much better, and I got him some of his clothes that I liked. The looked comfy and adorable too. It's not like he's going outside.

I cuffed his feet to the bed to make sure he didn't leave while I take a shower for myself. I made it a quick on and got dressed in the bathroom too before dolling myself up. A few looks in the mirror and I went back out to the room to see (Y/N) curled up.

((Y/N)'s POV)

Mitzi came back out and uncuffed my legs before picking me up to sit me on her lap. I didn't know what to do but I thought fighting would make her kill me. She kept on rubbing my back and head and I let her to keep her from getting mad. She kept on going until my stomach growled.

Mitzi-*Giggles* You hungry, Babyface? You like pancakes?

(Y/N)-... Yes.

I felt my ace burn up a little. She held me while going to a phone to call someone and make the order then leave the food by the door. After that, she rubbed my tummy.

Mitzi-You aren't so scary after all, are you? ~

I really wanted to run but when I peeked out the window and heard cars and people, I knew it was all cats out there... I didn't have anywhere to go. I felt tears coming out of my eyes missing my Mommy and Daddy.

Mitzi-Awwww. Don't be scared Hun. ~

Soon there was a knock on the door so she left me on the bed... I got up quietly.

(Mitzi's POV)

I opened the door and I saw someone walk down the hall but the food was left by the door. I took it in and closed the door then turned around to see that (Y/N) was gone. I looked around the room for him but then I heard a faint whimper. I put the tray on the desk then crouched down to see the boy on the floor.

Mitizi-What are you doing?

(Y/N)-S-Someone is gonna see. *whisper*

He was still getting used to being here but I noticed he's like any scared child. Children do love sweets and he is hungry.

Mitzi-Well, you can't eat your pancakes under there, Hun. Why don't you come out so we can eat and talk?... Not gonna make a lady eat by herself, are you?

He slowly crawled out and tip-toed over her bit by bit while I set the food and put him back in my lap. I think I know a method that might work. Just gotta start with something easy and not personal.

Mitzi-Let's play a little game. You answer a question and I give you a bite. Sound nice? ~

(Y/N)-I-I guess.

Mitzi-Good. How about we talk about that snazzy little machine of yours? ~

(Y/N)-Oh... That's a tablet.

Mitzi-Tablet?... What can it do?

He started to show me a lot of things when he got his hands on it then said it needed to be plugged in soon. From everything he showed me while I fed him to get more trust from him, I was blown away. This tablet is the bees-knees. He even got a show going on it.

(Y/N)-Th-This is a show I like... A-Ahhhhhh.

Mitzi-Oh. Here.

I could tell he was forcing himself to let this happen and he still looked scared of me. Next, he showed me pictures and there were more of him in these pictures that he said were called humans... He could barely say that because he cried but I understood they those must be his parents and they weren't around anymore somehow while he still was. Poor thing won't ever stand a chance out there. When he was done eating, I ate my fill, and (Y/N) went back to the bed I had him cuffed on earlier to be alone.

Mitzi-What are you doing over there?

He only lied down and closed his eyes looking emotionally exhausted. I know that feeling all too well from when I lost Atlas... I went up to him to pick him up and then his stuff and brought him somewhere else while the halls were still empty... My room. I put him on my bed and it felt nice to be in my own bed and there was a spot just for him. I felt him shaking though.

Mitzi-Are you still scared of me?

He only nodded his head before he got up to plug his tablet in the wall then slowly came back with tears in his eyes. I had to pull him back into me.

Mitzi's mind-So adorable... Seeing as there's no need or point in letting you grow up in this world, I think you can at least help me out after hard work days.

I always did wonder what having a child for my own would be like but I just thought it would be with Atlas and they would be a cat like me. At least I still get a son. Sadly, I had to get some business done but at least I know where to come for a nice break.

Mitzi-Stay here, Sweetie. I'll be back after I take care of some business. I'll be sure to bring you something nice.

(Timeskip 15 Minutes)

(Ivy's POV)

Ms. M sent the boys out on a job, Viktor and Zib too. I could have gone with Rocky and Freckle but I decided to take it easy today... At least that was the plan. I got a call while I was in the diner to bring something up for Ms. M and it had to be me since I already saw the creature so nobody would get freaked out. She wanted toys which makes sense because the creature is a child. Someone should be coming with the toys soon and I have to bring them up to her room. When they got here, I opened the bad to just see stuffed animals, balls, and blocks... I guess she wants things to be simple.

Ivy-Just go up there and drop the bag off. Be swift.

I went upstairs and when I was in the hallway, I heard things being moved around in a room so I knocked on the door. That's when I heard scampering.

Mitzi-*Sigh* Honey... Be a moment.

I waited for the door to open and when I did, I saw Ms. M smiling a little.

Mitzi-Ivy, Honey. You brought the toys. Do you also mind helping me with a little something?

Ivy-Sure.

I felt a little uneasy when I entered the room and saw a blanket laying on the ground in the middle of the room when I put the toys down. She walked over to her bathroom in her bedroom then came out holding the creature like a baby.

Mitzi-Ivy, this is (Y/N) and he calls himself a human. Guess they're jittery little fellas.

Ivy-Oh... What do you need me to help with?

Mitzi-I caught him almost hurting himself in a panic when I came back in from giving a few jobs out to people so I wanted him to stay still while also being comfy. Just help me wrap him up.

This was all weird but I did help her which was a little scary at first. I thought he would bite, punch, and kick like he did with Rocky. Now, he is completely docile. Maybe it's because we are not loud but he did try to run when we got close to wrapping him up. He even screamed while he cried but Ms. M kept on going while I helped her then she put a big pin in the blanket.

Mitzi-There. All done.

(Y/N)-L-Let me out, please! *whisper yell*

She only smiled before picking him up like a baby in her lap and he only whimpered. Then she looked at me.

Mitzi-You can get closer. He doesn't hurt a fly... *chuckles* Really, he jumped around like a flea on a hot griddle from a fly earlier. Is that right? ~

I saw his cheeks blushing and now trying to hide his face in the blanket when I got closer... I rubbed his head a little which made him look at me with the saddest and most adorable eyes. They were like pearls. Ms. M was treating him like a baby right in front of me and all he did was whine, whimper, blush, and tried to hide his face... It reminded me of Freckle which was very adorable.

Mitzi-There. Now, you can't hurt yourself when you panic. ~

She nuzzled his face with her nose and then looked at me.

Mitzi-Say Ivy. Would you be able to watch him tonight, Sweetheart? I got people to talk to about supplies and wanted to make sure (Y/N) is either asleep or watched until I get back. There is also your little group but...

Ivy/Mitzi-Rocky.

Ivy-I can do it for you Ms. M.

Mitzi-Thank you. I'll be sure he's bathed and fed before I leave... Honey, maybe you can show Ivy that tablet machine. ~

Ivy-Tablet?

Mitzi-Oh, that machine can do so many things. Even works better than most of the things we have. Right now, (Y/N) needs a gentle and caring touch. So if you bring the boys just keep Rocky on a short leash.

I nodded my head to stay a bit longer then Ms. M wanted the bag so she could did into it. She then looked a little annoyed while holing (Y/N).

Mitzi-Don't tell me they forgot... Looks like I need to have a talk with my errand boy later.

She just took out a stuffed animal and put it by (Y/N)'s face then he turned into it to muffle his cries. She took him to her bed so it was time for me to leave and be ready to watch him tonight.

Ivy's mind-For a human I just discovered... that was cute. ~
