A Demon, For Me?

A cats life

Jesse's Pov:

I woke up the next morning feeling different. I opened my eyes to Gaea staring at me "master you are a kitty-cat?" "What kind of question is that I'm-" I rubbed my eyes and my hands felt furry and clawed. I looked at myself I was small and tortoiseshell "I knew this was going to happen but torties usually girls. Anyway, Gaea can you wake up Conner I would but I may use claws" "I'm up please don't use claws" "good now take me to my father's house luckily he moved into town from our old home in the woods". Conner lifted me up and set me on his shoulder. Gaea hopped up onto his other and we were off.

My father's new home was just as dark and eerie as our old one. I could feel my tail puff out when I saw it. Before we could knock he opened a trap-door below us. Now normal people would fall in but Conner tripped and landed on top of it so when it opened he didn't fall but he lied on the ground clutching to a rock so he wouldn't. Gaea and I did our best to pull him out. He pulled himself out and rolled into the door. "do you have to knock so loud kid?" yelled an old angry voice "dad your spell finally turned me into a cat" He pulled the door open and glanced at me. "HA that's what you get when you combine your kid with a cat I guess you'll eventually end up with a cat that can talk". I glared at him. "come on fuzzball let's get you back to your human form".

He scruffed me and carried me to his basement. Normally bad sign but Conner and Gaea followed close behind so I was less afraid. He set me on a table "alright now this will keep you in your human form but you may have some more feline like instincts along with this" "like what I already always land on my feet" "I knew it" Conner yelled. "well you may start to bat at string and attack laser pens or you could just end up growing a tail" "I want a tail I don't care how hard it would be to shop for pants I'll adjust" "I'll see if I can accommodate that" He ran over to a bookshelf in the stone walls. He pulled out an old dusty book "here it is form restoration 8819173645"

There was a sudden shift in the room I was no longer sitting on a table but I was standing as a cat on the ceiling. "I hate you" "that should wear off in a couple of hours and you should be a human by tomorrow" "tomorrow but I don't want to be a cat much longer let alone an upside down cat that is afflicted with reverse gravity". "I have an unrelated question that spell had more numbers than any other spell I've heard why?" "its the pure complexity of it" my father tried to explain "Conner take me home I'll explain on the way".

Conner held me under his "okay so take me to see your mom, Conner, she is good with magic she may be able to speed this up a little I knew we should have gone to someone who is semi decent with magic" "after you answer my question" "fine the truth about magic is its all about those numbers in demon hunters it releases weird chemicals in the brain that sends specialized types of energy through the body causing magic but someone like my father doesn't have enough magic in his body for that so it ends up being hours before the spell takes affect" "how so?" "the man once shot me in the face with a fireball on accident. He got home from a mission I walked up to greet him and take his coat when boom fireball to the face"

We were almost to Conner's home when I slipped from his grasp and floated into a tree. "I hate you" I yelled as I clung to the first branch I could reach. "Great Jesse now we've got a cat stuck in the tree and I don't think the fire department would handle this all that well" "shut up and get me down" I meowed. He did the best he could to climb the tree. When he got to my branch suddenly I was holding not to float away but not to hit the dirt below. When he went to grab me I smiled a wicked smile and hopped off. Gaea looked at me "master are you unharmed?" "yes Gaea" I smelled something weird in the air. There was a small popping noise behind me right before the tree toppled over causing Conner to roll off into the bushes.

Standing where the tree had been was an over-sized flower. "oh its actually quite lovely. It's a rose" The flowers head tilted toward me and the petal tips turned inward like teeth. "not so lovely now" I muttered. "fireball" I pointed my paw at it but instead of fire I shot a cat claw. That simply bounced off the rose. The flower leaned in closer. Conner flew out at it just before it could bite me. "do something" "like what? I can't use weapons my magic is wonky and if you haven't noticed I'm still a cat" "fine I'll handle it this time".

Conner summoned himself a sword it was his usual two handed clay-more style. He chopped at the flower to no avail. He smashed and slashed barely pushing it back let alone causing a dent "try magic" I suggested. "I'm no good at that and you know it" "just try it" "Flame sword 2219" His sword burst into flames as he slashed at the flower. He opened a small cut on the rose from which sprang forth a small man "thank you for releasing me from that hell of a trap" "trap" I inquired. "Demons made them years ago they trapped humans inside and it caused us to look like one and break stuff on accident" "then why did you come at me like that?" "I was trying to talk to you I saw that you were the towns demon hunters so I figured you could help and you did well the cat didn't but you young man I'm forever indebted to you" "HEY" I yelled "I'm a demon hunter to but I am trapped as a cat because my father thought it would make me tougher" "did it work?" "right now no but normally I'm agile and always land on my feet"

The small man ran off to find his family. "I give up I'm just going to go home and nap Gaea come on" "yes master Gaea will listen to master even if master is a kitty-cat". I walked home climbed in through my window and fell asleep on my bed.
