Cats Come In Grey
Chapter One
'Beep,beep, beep,beep'
I woke up with a start.
'What was that?' I thought to myself as I looked around my room, still half asleep. I looked over at my clock and remembered that I had set my alarm. I turned the alarm off and moaned as I flopped back on my pillow. "Alarm clocks, because every morning should begin with a heart attack" I say out loud as I try to pull myself out of the comfiness of the blankets. As soon as I step out of bed I was attacked by a ball of fur.
It was Zaphoria my cat. I had found her living off the streets when she was just a hungry kitten. She has light grey fur with white around her left eye and on the tip of her tail. She got her name from the black stripes on her right paw that form a Z.
"Good morning Zaphoria, are you hungry?" She meowed loudly and started circling my legs. "Ok, just hold on."
When my younger brother was at my house last week he thought it would be funny to steal my house phone. Then turn out the lights, and scare me half to death. I still haven't gotten my house phone back from him. So I had to carry my cell phone everywhere.
I grabbed my cell phone from its charger and headed to the kitchen. Zaphoria ran over to her bowl beside the bar. She sat down waiting anxiously. I grabbed a handful of her food from the closet and placed it in her bowl. "There you go. Now time for my breakfast."
I fixed toast and eggs, then sat down to eat.
After I finished , I cleaned up the dishes ,and headed for my closet. I picked out a green and white striped tank, that had the word dance written on it in blue. I also had on grey yoga pants with purple socks. Then I went over to the bathroom and started to fix my shoulder length, dirty blonde hair into a high side ponytail. I was straightening my bangs, when my cell phone rang.
" Hello, Kat", I said into the phone.
"Hey, Saphire I -" Kat paused"wait how did you know it was me?"
"Only my best friend would call me at six in the morning" I replied.
Kat and I have been best friends since preschool. People would mistake us for twins all the time, with us both having dirty blonde hair and fair skin. The only way someone could tell us apart was by looking at our eyes. While I have sapphire colored eyes , Kat has emerald green eyes.
" So what's up?" I asked.
"Well," Kat started, " you see I wanted to go for a run this morning. So I started to run out to the lake we found in the woods near the old golf course. When I got there I saw two guys near the lake talking, and of corse me being me, I went over there, hiding in the bushes trying to hear what they were saying. I didn't get much, because I tripped over a tree root and fell into a bush. They saw and started chasing me, I started running, I think I lost them. No need to come out here, I'll just wait ten minutes, an if there's no trouble I'll head out. Don't worry Saphire I'm hiding out in a old garden shed not far from the lake, they will never find me."
To say I was worried was a understatement. I was down right terrified for Kat.
"Kat," My voice laced with worry. "Are you sure you don't want me to come and get you, call the police, anything?"
"No I'll be - " Kats voice stopped.
I could hear in the background what sounded like a door opening, but what I heard next was much worse.
Kats voice could be heard screaming. "Kat!" I yelled into the phone, having a wave of panic wash over me.
Nothing. The line was dead.
"Well guys that's it. Sorry it was so short, but I hope you like it. Thanks for reading. Please review, I don't mind constructive criticism.
