After that I remember nothing about the rest of my school day. I walked back home dazed. My mom owned a small apartment . My younger sister's name is Jennie and she is small and nimble. My mom was out for work till seven in the evening . So, I got into my sweat pants and a grey shirt with a messy collar . I made myself half a dozen salad sandwiches . I grabbed myself three of them on a plate with a glass of apple juice and juggled my food and my bag to my room . I sat down on my bed and took out the latest novel i had bought and i had to start. It was "Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief"
You must be wondering - 'Your math's teacher changed into a serial killer house fly man and you were the one who later killed him . How could you possibly be eating and reading a book after all this trauma ! Also how come have you not gone insane with all of that!?. Well it;s like an addiction or something , when I am scared or worried i just want to get out of the world and go into another world via books and what's the point of relaxing without having something to munch on?!
Anyways, I opened the book and resisted my urge of running away screaming . I had only read the first page of the book and only took a bite of a sandwich when the doorbell rang.
'JENNIE! open the damn door!' i screamed at her from my room. I know I was being irresponsible - I was the big sister , Jennie was a fourth grader , she was only ten, what if a kidnapper came in ? blah.. blah..blah.... whatever. 'Not me , I am small, remember Jessica ! Sister code!' Jennie shouted back. For a fourth grader her voice was as shrill as a rooster's voice.
Grumbling i went to the front door with half a eaten sandwich in my hand. I opened the door and saw nobody was there . I was about to close the door when somebody called ' You over here!' . I looked around and saw nothing , irritated i replied ' If this is a sort of prank i warn you , my sister bites harder then a police's watchdog' (It's true!)
'Near your feet Yo!' came that purring voice and i looked down at my feet and saw a cat talking to me! I really don't know what i said but it must have been "WHAT THE HECK!!" . It was a ginger colored tabby cat . 'Hello Jessica Morgan, I am Mathew your protector and I am here to take you to a safe place for our kind' it said. 'Our kind? what do you mean by our kind?Am I a cat or something?' I asked sarcastically .
'I'll tell you everything just come with me' it said . I know i should not follow strangers but what choice I had? I told him to wait and went inside and into Jennie's room, completely ignoring her rude sign which said "JESSICA AND HER FRIENDS ARE NOT ALLOWED". 'Hey Jenn , I need to go out for some... important school project um... due tomorrow. Be sage ok ?And don't eat my sandwiches' I said to Jennie who was busy eating her sandwiches ( and yes! I still had that half eaten sandwich in my hand ) . I put on my black jacket and white boots and the house keys and locked the front door. Then I went with the cat. Downstairs waiting for us was a normal taxi.
We sat in and my life changing story began.
