Chapter 2

It felt warm... 

This is a very different feeling from what I am used to. It is usually cold and hard, but now I feel warm and cozy. 

I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a soft mat and my body was covered with a small blanket. 

I looked around my surrounding. There was a small fireplace nearby and a pile of woods were burning within it keeping the room warm. There were some pictures hanging on the wall but I couldn't see it properly due to the dark. There were some furniture in the room. The room was small but it was cozy and it felt nice. 

I somehow knew that we were not anywhere near the village. I could near the rustling of the leaves due to the wind outside. May be we are somewhere deep inside the woods. 

The sound of footsteps nearing and the door opening caught my attention and I looked towards it. 

"Oh! You are awake. I brought some warm milk incase you are hungry." It was the same girl with blue eyes. 

She placed the bowl milk near me and waited eagerly at the sport as if giving me time to adjust to my surroundings. It felt odd, she felt really familiar. 

I stared at her for a few movements before I make my way towards the bowl. The milk was warm. It was then that I noticed that my injured foot was wrapped in bandages. In fact, all my wounds were treated and well covered with bandages. 

I looked up at her, she was staring at me very eagerly as if she was enjoying watching me drink the milk.

She stroked my head while I was drinking the milk. Her hands were warm and I tried to snuggle into it. 

'Are you out of your mind!? You are an unlucky black cat. You will only bring bad luck with whoever you stay.'

The thought made me jolt away from her hand. I will not bring bad luck for this person. She has shown me kindness that no one ever did. 

I looked at her. Her blue eyes staring at me and a small smile graced her lips. I could only dream... 

'Don't be a fool, you can never be a normal cat. It's the curse you will never be able to get rid of it.'
