The clock struck midnight.

A6d opened their eyes-

His eyes-

He rolled his neck and stretched out his arms, flexing his fingers and enjoying the feel of them.

Then he glanced around the small room that was their home; it was lit with candles and the stray lantern here and there. Fairly messy with cloaks and various ingredients strewn about and hung from the ceiling. A couple cauldrons lay about, in need of cleaning, but there was no way he was wasting his time on that tonight.

He finished stretching and quickly swung a velvety black cloak over his shoulders, grabbing their wand and sticking it behind his ear.

Then his eyes caught on the two cats. They sat glowering at him from the floor.

A6d smiled and strode over to them, crouching.

"Now don't look at me like that. You both had plenty of time and now it's my turn."

They hissed, one was a grouchy orange tabby and the other a snobby grey-and-white munchkin cat. The green-eyed tabby tried to scratch a6d but he caught its paw with his thin fingers.

"Ah- ah- ah-" he scolded, "none of that."

He stood up. "Neither of you get to waste any more of my time. Come on."

He walked to the window and turned back but they hadn't moved an inch.

"Oh be lucky I'm not so cruel as you. I could throw you out the window like you did me, roomies." He said the last word like a sarcastic purr.

Then he started to get impatient when they stayed put.
"Dream. George. You know what- fine. Stay here. You know what happens."

At this Dream gave the closest possible thing to a sigh that a cat can and slowly stalked over to a6d, with George tailing behind him.

Without waiting another second, a6d slid smoothly off the windowsill and drifted down through the cool night air, the cloak billowing around his tall, dark figure like an apparition.

His boots touched down upon the ground silently and he drew in a deep breath. He didn't need to be a cat to land softly, but he relished being human.

The two cats landed behind him, still sulking, but a6d paid them no mind as he strode off toward the village center, where there were lights and festivals and people.

A6d only got to use the human body for these twenty-four hours every year. Obviously this was why Hallowe'en was his favorite day; he eagerly looked forward to it until it arrived, and was miserable directly afterwards when he had to wait another three hundred sixty four days to use it again.

Being a cat wasn't bad, not at all. It was very pleasant and... refined.
No, the thing a6d despised about the rest of the year was his lack of freedom.

For most of the year his roommates Dream and George controlled their body, sharing it between them however they decided. A6d was stuck as a cat while they could roam around as the young man.

He looked the same whoever was controlling it: tall, raven hair, and a sharp face with high cheekbones, almost spectrally thin, but purely human. Obviously with the addition of magic in his blood.

No, the only discernible difference was the eyes. Dream in control meant the boy had clear green eyes, George's were his crystal blue.

A6d caught a glance of his reflection in a pane as he hurried along the dim road; his eyes were coal black, but they could burn like embers.

Dark shadows flickered behind them, dancing on the walls. One human and two cats.
The three of them were cursed together, so long ago that a6d had forgotten how or why it happened.

Now they were quite literally inseparable, whoever had power over the body could do as he wished; the other two were forced to follow wherever he led them. If they got too away they were very unpleasantly apparated back.

Dream and George had frequently tortured a6d with this function, and he usually took the liberty of torturing them back when he got the chance.

He was in a good mood tonight, he nearly always was on Hallowe'en.

His heart beat faster with erratic joy as his footsteps carried him closer to the light and noise.
