(18)Son of a Burgundy (Part 1)
Feel like Panic! At The Disco's - Emperor's new clothes is literally the perfect song for Thanatos to wake up to every morning.
Then again, any song involving self-entitlement would probably make his foot tap...
"Let's get one thing straight; I'm still the boss, even though I'm a fluffy, little kitty with a fluffy, little tail..."
Son of a Burgundy
I watched in glee as the blood drained from her face. My rough tongue flicked out and grasped a few of my white whiskers. Her eyes bore into my deep red orbs. The snake-like tongue darted back into my petite mouth while I gave Aurora my best innocent look.
She was not convinced.
Aurora was at a loss for words; her already delicate sanity cracking in half.
No mortals could quite resist my eyes, but I always seemed to forget that Aurora wasn't an ordinary human.
An upsetting prospect in situations such as this, but relatively promising in other situations; like the fact that she was more durable. If you know what I mean...
I chuckled gleefully on the inside as she stammered with through her words, trying to convey her false gratitude. I must admit; she was an excellent liar, even when her back was pressed up against the wall.
Oh... Promising image.
Another chuckled ran from my mouth and I purred louder, my delight fuelled on by her obvious annoyance. Her father turned and headed downstairs to return to his gardening chores. She waited patiently until he was out of sight- then turned slowly, trying not to look at my small, furry figure.
She softly closed the door behind her, making sure no living thing in the big house could possibly suspect her deep-seated anger.
I waited for her reaction with a wicked, bubbling feeling of amusement.
The door locked shut. Her eyes remained on the ceiling and her eyebrows knotted together while she tried to form a coherent sentence. I whipped my tail up and down, pleasantly enjoying her boiling rage.
Finally, she looked down; "I'm going to give you exactly ten seconds to get out of that body before I strangle a helpless cat."
I purred with delight as her anger soared across the room. She was livid! Her hands clenched into fists and her eyes glared daggers- no, swords! Massively long, sharp swords.
Aurora tried to control her breathing, but was evidently losing it in the process. I purred on. Content with what I've accomplished. Her annoyance was brilliantly delicious.
"Ten..." Her voice was trembling slightly from fear and rage. I licked my lips.
"Nine..."
Aurora moved closer, her legs battling against her brain to stay away.
"Eight. Seven..."
My tail swished across the floor.
"Six..."
She came closer, her steps cautious and light.
"Five..."
I rolled onto my side and stretched out as long as I possibly could. Ah! No wonder cats are always so relaxed.
Damn, this is good!
"Ugh! Dammit, Thanatos!" My ears perked up as she spoke my real name. How lusciously succulent it sounded coming from her sinful little mouth. My tail whipped around while I stretched my paws towards her approaching figure.
"Scratch me!"- I wanted to shout.
She didn't oblige.
Instead, she quickly lifted me up into the air and threw me on the bed. Her irritation grew as I landed on my feet, no worry in sight.
"You little son of a-"
"Oh, honey!" A muffled voice sounded from outside the room. Her mother's pale hand opened the door and she entered with a bright smile.
Aurora, numb from anger, tried to calm herself down by trying to match her mother's wide grin. She looked like she was about to burst a blood vessel. I purred with laughter.
"And? Do you like him? Oh, isn't he adorable?"
"So... cute."
Hmm... That's not the 'C' word she's really thinking about.
"Can you believe we found him in an alley? Poor thing was starving!"
"An alley?" Aurora asked skeptically. She had of course every reason to be. You think I'd risk going into some human-germ invested hole to put my plan into action?
Oh, please, give me some credit. I hypnotized them.
"I'm guessing next to a whore-house..."
Ouch!
"What's that?" Her mother asked, having not heard her daughter's foul mouth while she was distracted by my fluffy tail.
Aurora just shrugged and grinned. I wonder with how much mischief she's gotten away with by using that same gesture. She's a bloody spoiled little princess.
It's been barely ten minutes and already Aurora's mysterious life is being unravelled in front of my eyes. Now all that needs to unravel are those short shorts.
Wish I had a trick for that. Hmm... These claws are quite sharp?
"Aww! Look at him gazing off like that!" I flinched as a pair of hands grabbed onto my paws. I was so engrossed with Aurora's choice of clothing that I hadn't noticed when the older woman crouched down to pet me. Aurora's mother gently rubbed my two small paws with her thumbs.
I couldn't help but purr at the feeling. Being a cat certainly has its major advantages.
"Isn't he the cutest thing in the world?"
Yes, Aurora, aren't I the cutest thing in the world?
Aurora's face said no. Hell no.
I purred and moved closer to the mother, brushing against the side of her face. Her giggles sent echoes through my ears and her nails were long and sharp, perfect for scratching against my thick, black fur. I arched my back as she scratched down to my tail.
Ooh, I could get use to this...
Aurora, however, looked like she was about to throw herself out the window. She didn't like me being this close to her mommy. I'd have to add that to my list. I do so love getting under her perfectly moisturised skin.
"Mom... Um- What colour are its eyes?" Aurora asked; her voice soft and hesitant. Her mother found nothing strange. She was too busy giving me the best back starch I'd ever had.
Wow. I need to do this more often.
"Are you going blind, honey?" Her mother laughed happily. "It's-" Her eyes glazed over and her words got stuck in her mouth. "It's- um... Well, it's..."
Aurora's face lit up, her hope returning. The yummy blonde shot me a devilish smirk and I suddenly wished I wasn't stuck in a cat's body; and had opposable thumbs.
Aurora's mother frowned deeply. I silently watched with amusement as she shook her head and smiled goofily– as if suddenly coming to her senses; like she'd misplaced the car keys.
"Now, do you want scrambled or fried eggs, hun?"
"Wait... What? What about its eyes? What colour are they?" Aurora grasped at the remaining straws, her eyes bewildered by her mother's sudden robotic smile. I purred loudly, hoping she'd hear.
She did. If her eyes were guns, I'd be long gone.
"Aurora, scrambled or fried?" Her mother asked again as she walked past. Aurora's face fell deeper into a pit of disbelief and misery.
I rolled onto my back- actually laughing with delight- and brushed my head against the bed, leaving my black fur all over the clean, white bedding.
Aurora shot me a dirty look; "Scrambled. Thanks." Her reply was dry and lacking in any form of interest or life.
"Okay!" Her mother's cheerful disposition didn't fit in the room.
The door closed behind the beautiful blonde and I suddenly realised that I was a cat, in a room with a girl that could most probably resort to animal abuse if I didn't come right out and admit my plan.
I'd like to see her try though...
"You little prick!"
I saw the pillow before it hit my little body, and jumped out of the way just in time. First shampoo bottles, now pillows?
When will she just throw herself at me?
"Get back here, dick!"
I laughed hysterically, but obviously it came out as series of peculiar patterned meows.
I ran across the room- my tail popping up and down as she followed; her sexy blue eyes wild with determination. I'd stop and admire them, if her hands didn't tighten like she was about to strangle someone. Though, that was quite arousing too.
"Argh! You are so dead!"
I quickly turned around and hissed loudly, my fangs sharp and ready to bite. Aurora's eyes fell down into slits, but she immediately stopped in her tracks, not sure what to do from here.
I kept my back arched and my tailed puffed up like a duster. She glared at me and bit her lip.
Let's get one thing straight; I'm still the boss, even though I'm a fluffy, little kitty with a fluffy, little tail.
"Get out of my house!" Her voice was soft and controlled, but anyone could see the fury dripping from her eyes. I relaxed my body and decided that I'd have to play this a bit differently if I wanted to get where I planned to. So, slowly, without trying to scare her, I walked past her and gently jumped up onto the bed and laid down.
Aurora was not convinced that I wasn't about to do her any harm just yet. She jumped out of my way like I was oncoming traffic.
The beauty was shocked by my sudden calmness and grabbed a tennis racket from behind her bathroom door and kept it steady next to her side. She watched me with dark, broody eyes. Her entire stance was rigid and stiff.
I closed my eyes and pretended to nap. My tail flicked over my head.
I heard her move around the room, her uncertainly clear as daylight. She paced a few times, and then bit her nails. All the while the room was silent, apart from her shallow breathing. I waited for her escape plan.
"I should've seen this coming..." Her voice was calculating; it almost sounded like she was scolding herself.
As she thought about what the hell she was going to do with a demon cat, I sneakily peered over her room. The first time I'd seen it, the moon had been full, shining a bright magical light in through the large window- brightening everything to a beautiful pure and forbidden shine. I remember seeing her for the first time, that skin so sensual- sending a blinding luster and drowning my eyes in moonlight.
I wanted that again; that strange feeling.
Tonight.
Now, however, the glare of the white room only gave me a headache. It was too bright and too close for comfort. I closed my eyes again, trying to dim the throbbing headache. I thought being a cat would help me elude that pesky nuisance.
The door banged shut.
Aurora was gone.
Oops.
Raise your hand if you want Thanatos as a pet cat...
