Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 9: Cᴀᴛ ᴀɴᴅ Sᴜɴғʟᴏᴡᴇʀ

"So, deal?" Bill asked. Waiting for your answer and seeing if you'll agree to this.

You were thinking about it for a bit before sighing. "Fine, deal." As you said that, Bill cleared his throat before speaking. "I might need my body again, so this is where you'll be getting your body back." As Bill finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, waiting for you to shake it. You didn't hesitate and held his hand, resulting in your ghost-like form being dragged back in, and as a few short seconds passed, you were back in your old body.

"This - feels so weird." You muttered as you examined your body a bit, it felt weird being back on your two feet after having an outside body experience. As you finished your little inspecting, you looked up to see all around you was now the usual gray scape you have learned to get used to, and Bill was back to being in his yellow triangular form. "Now." That was all that he spoke before stretching out his hand, and the familiar blue flame appeared on his hand. You took a deep breath before reaching out to your hand, shaking his hand as a result.

Nothing spectacular happened. Your hand was just sitting there, not to mention gripping his hand like something bad was going to happen, but nothing happened. Just pure silence. But you knew that you just contracted a deal with him.

"That's it?" You questioned, and he just stared at you like you were stupid. "Of course. What did you expect?" He asked, and you stayed silent. He just sighed while moving his hand away from yours. He tipped his tophat before speaking. "Remember our deal." He said in a serious tone, and you couldn't help but nod in silence. "Good, I'll be taking my leave." You didn't have time to respond when you blinked and around you finally had colors. You were just standing in the middle of the room like a confused critter.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, revealing Ford. "Yoo..-" You said awkwardly, trying to stay chill. "Hey, y/n, just wanted to check up on you," he said warmly, and you couldn't help but smile at his kindness. "Thank you, grunkle Ford, but I'm fine!" You reassured him with a thumbs up. "Good. It's just that me and your siblings have noticed that you've been acting strange.." Ford said, and you couldn't help but feel nervous. "O-oh- r-really...?" Your tone did not make this any better or less suspicious.

"Are you sure?" Ford asked again, and you nodded your head frantically. "Alright.. just take care, ok?" He sounded worried. You looked at him with a reassuring smile and nodded. "Of course, Grunkle Ford, I can take care of myself!" You said with an enthusiastic tone. He nodded in acknowledgment. "Right, enjoy yourself then, y/n." Ford looked at you for a few seconds before opening the door to leave. As the door opened, Ford didn't notice a little black cat entering the room he closed the door and left.

As Ford had left without noticing the little furry creature getting in the room, he stared at you with an uncomfortable gaze. Soon, the silence was broken when he opened his mouth to speak. "Hello dear!" He said with a soft tone that reassured you, in a way.

"Nyx?" You called out, and he nodded his little head. "The one and only!" He said while slowly walking up to you and snuggling his body against your leg. This was normal cat behavior, but the difference was that this cat wasn't an animal. It was a demon. You decided to stay vigilant and careful around him, despite your urges to pat him like an actual cat.

"What brought you here?" You asked while Nyx still stayed near your leg, letting out a few purrs here and there. "I wanted to see you!" He answered happily. You wanted to shoo him away and tell him to leave you alone, but you couldn't. You couldn't mean to animals, that would be animal abuse!

"See me?" You questioned. You were skeptical and suspicious of his intentions, but you had to admit that he was good at keeping up this cat-like attitude. "Yep! You're an interesting human. You got Cipher's attention as well! Cipher is a complicated character, and that just makes me intrigued by you since he's so..'normal' around you." He explained while still snuggling near your leg. You didn't bother telling him to get out anymore. Firstly, because he was actually an entertaining individual, and secondly, even if you did tell him to leave, he would just come back later on in the day or the following days.
