Kitten

Chapter Nine

I went through the school day bored out of my mind. Classes were boring, as I learned many of these lessons at past schools. After school I go to my locker and start to shove my books into my locker.
"Hello kitten." Travis says taking my hand. "We will go to your house and pick up your stuff, and then we will go back to my house."
"I'm not living with you." I say trying to pull my hand out of his. I heard his low growl under his breath. I stopped tugging at his hand and stopped mid-stride.
"You are comings to live with me, and that is final."
"You can't boss me around like this!" I say, but all I really wanted to do was hug him and never let go. The nightmare came back to me, with me living with him he would find out about Megaera.
"Bria, don't fight me on this, I don't like you living alone!"
"Why, why do you care?"
"Because I care about you!"
"Why?"
"I can't tell you!" He says sighing. I close my eyes and look away.
"Please let go of me." I say quietly, tugging lightly on my hand. He sighs and lets go, and I let my hand drop to my side. I walk forward and I hear his footsteps behind me.
"Where are you going, you just passed the car."
"I'm going home," I turn to face him adjusting my backpack on my shoulder. "And you should too." He sighs and wraps his arms around me before I can walk away.
"We're ever you are I am home." He mutters, thinking I couldn't hear him. "I'm sorry I am so controlling, but I worry about you."
"Why?" I whisper closing my eyes.
"Because I care about you, a lot. You are smart, funny, beautiful, I could go on forever. I want to show you something." He says pulling away. "Then you will know why I care about you." I look up at him panic evident in my eyes. "I promise I won't hurt you, I could never hurt you."
"Can we walk today?" I ask looking in the direction of Holly's school. He nods taking my hand.
"Walking might be nice." He starts to walk and I almost have to jog to keep up with his long strides. I mean seriously, I am barely up to his shoulder! When we get Holly we start to walk home. When we get home Holly goes up to her room and Travis stand by the door giving me a smile.
"I'll see you later, we need to talk." He says closing the door behind him. I sigh and slide down the wall. Is he going to tell me he's a werewolf? Will I have to show him I'm a cat? He'll reject me for sure. I shake my head and stand up, I should start dinner for Holly.
