*** Trying hard to not tripped on my feet, I limping through the emptied hallway. The 4th period has begun and I decided to skip as I went to one of the school highest tower instead after succesfully sneaking away from the gym earlier,
I sigh after the last stairs and look outside the huge open window of the tower, wind blown my hood and make my hair dancing around me with the cold wind,
I starred at the big silver moon and the twinkling star and smiled, sitting down on top one of the window as I felt wind caressed my open wounds, touching them gently as if nurse the reddened flesh and help the blood dry faster. This is one of my favourite hiding place every time I felt like ran away from the bad day ever since I found this path accidently that one night I explored the school building after one bullying session, that night was the very night I swore to myself that its the last time I shed tears. Now I forgotten when the last time I actually cried,
“its so beautiful” I murmured as I watch the cloud moves from the moon and the light shine upon my face then moves my arms a little, hissed when the gesture sent a jolting pains from my joint and wrists wounds. Damn, this hurts like !, I cursed under my breath before brought the wounds to my lips and them. The iron taste of blood spread through my taste bud as I keep them like how animal did when mending their wounds. My eyes shine bright red as I did,
After I felt the wound start to sting less than before, I pull my lips away from them and murmured “oh how I wish I have a friend to share with at the time like this”, I sigh, wishful thinking, just whose in their right mind would willingly asscociate with me, none,
I did try to ask for a puppy or maybe kitten to my step mother once, but the woman just hiss at me, saying that she has enough burden to care for, then walk away, leaving my 7 years old self wondering what she mean by that -which I later found out it was me, that burden that she said all along-, she never thought me as a member of her family once and since that day on I did the same,
Drowning in my random thought, I didn’t realize that shadow has gathered and conjuring arond me before it materealize, shaping a rather solid form and I snap my head towards the form and gasped. Did I conjure unconciously again? Well, I did it once in a while without knowing it sometimes, it rather form as a shield or deformed shape most of the time but this time, The shape was more solid and well formed, making me furrowed my brows as I try to focus on guessing what my shadow try to makes, I jolted backward as the form moved, two silver dots opened to reflect on the moon light then it jump, breaking away from its mist like shadow pupa and run towards me,
Eh? Is it purring?
Standing in front of me, a black cat with fur as black as the night and silver eyes starring at me as if its greeting me with its eyes then let out a meow. I stood up bruptly, watching the cat took a step towards me and rub its black head on my legs. Impossible,
Did I really just conjure and made this cat?!
with a slight shaky hands, I crouch down to touch the cat head and it lean towards my touch more, purring happily, “did I just made you?” I croaked and once again, it meowed, as if it understand my words and I let out a surprised gasp, the cat head mindlessly before a grins crept up on my face, admiring the sleek black fur, it soft in my touch, its beautiful. This is amazing,
My shadow keeps surprising me lately, just how did it became this strong? I never train my gift, thinking that its too much of a hassle, not to mention how my step mother always saying that she didn’t like my shadow manipulation ability -its unknown and she hates unknown thing-,
The cat keeps purring as it now laid its beautiful head on my lap while I fawning over him -yeah, I decided that it would be male, what? He’s my creation, I’m free to choose the gender of my creation didn’t I?-,
“now, what would I call you, hm?” I pondered, tapping on my chin as I examine the black feline, he look up in interest, his silvery orbs conected with my own silver eyes, his furr jet black, he almost invisible in the dark night, blending perfectly with the shadow, I’m sure in a moonless night no one will ever see him,
Shadow, Umbra, no, too predictable
Silver, Canus, nah
Night,
Night, Noctis
Night!, I beamed as I found a perfect name and he jumped slightly at my sudden jolt of excitement and look at me as if throwing me annoyed pointed looks, I sweat dropped. great, I just made a sassy cat. Shaking my head, I grinned,
“Nox” I breath out, still grinning widely as I watch the cat tilt its head aside as if considering the name before meowed then my fingers, “you like it”, he purr and I laughed, I guess he likes it,
Taking Nox’s soft paws in mine -I could felt his razor claws folded in his thick fur-, I whisper, smiles never leave my face, “welcome to the world Nox”.

 

*** Making my way through the voyer of the manor with Nox tailed behind me, I chuckled when I saw him walk ahead of me, circling my legs once before sniffing around, wondering from side to side as he took in his surrounding. He's adorable~
I start to climb the stairs to go straight into my room before sounds of laughter came into my ears from the hall and I curiously peek in. Ah, they decided to visit, again, why did they always came here? Didn’t they have their own house or something?. I tried to tip toed my way back to my original route, ushering Nox that peeked eagerly between my legs but the cat slipped from me and meowed, pulling the devils attention towards our direction as I panickly grab Nox and cup his snout with my hands as he struggled from my grips. But the demage had been done and eight pairs of eyes focused on my crouching posture,
Nara clucked her tongue as she spot me and sneer “sneaking around again sis?” she call me sarcstically and I hold the huge urge to roll my eyes at her. I heard Nox hissed bellow me when he sees my step sister. I feel you baby, I feel you, she’s annoying right?,
“I’m not, this is my house too, Nara” I answered with a sigh as I stood up, holding Nox infront of my chest as he throws daggers on the girl. I tried to calm him down,
Nara lift an eyebrow when she saw my cat “where’d you pick that thing” asked, nose scrunched in disgust while behind her, Jimin looking at Nox with interest, I know he always likes animals and I could see he wanted to know my cat already. I huffed when I eye them one by one before my eyes connected with TaeHyung’s as he stare at me blankly and I shivered, the whole scene of him and Jimin torturing me played in my mind again as I unconciously took a step back,
“mom won’t be too happy if she know there’s dirty animal roaming around in the house you know” Nara smugly smirked when I keep silent and I could see Jimin frowned at Nara’s tones. Why would he surprised? Everybody know how Nara detest animal, she hates them, claiming that they nothing than a lowlife germ carrier,
“he’s not dirty Nara, besides, he won’t be dirty, he’s not actually a cat” I answered,
Jimin lift an eyebrow “what do you mean by not an ac
