Our House Pet Chapter 2.2

Scream just came out. When I was trying to stand up, I felt something hard... and suddenly something grabbed my arm. Right then I just sat down again and by chance I sat on top of that hard thing. I was so surprised while I was panicking... The thing that I'm sitting on. This...

"It's a human!"

It was a person's leg. I can't even scream now. My hand was slowly reaching to that person.

"Who are you?"

The thing that I'm feeling right now is a person's skin. Is it... a face? A person who was buried in the dark was grabbing on to my arm strongly.

(Buzzing sound)

Right that time, one street light turned on. Alley became little bit brighter.

"Meow!"

A kitten cried. Next...

"(dog whine)"

A puppy cried. Next...

"..."

He opened his eye. Completely dark. It was so dark... that is was like a new born baby...

"Ex..excuse... me.. this..."

Now that you are conscious let's go to our own ways. He probably don't expect anything from a total stranger? I tried to smile and pointed my finger to his hand that was grabbing my arm.... No reply. I don't know how long this person was out in the rain his hair was all wet, and water was dripping down from his hair.

"..."

Still no reply. He didn't even let go of my arm. Stupid? I was trying to free myself from this hand... He grabbed with his one hand why is he so strong? It didn't moved. I tried to free myself by releasing each finger, but that didn't work. It was like I can't free myself unless I cut off the arm. That's how strong he was.

"(Sigh)... What's wrong?"

I looked inside the box and stared at the kitten, puppy, and the bunny. These guys eyes are... so similar. Not only all of their eyes were black but also... the atmosphere surrounding them was very alike. It was like... like...

'I'm cold and hungry. Take me home and feed me.'

Are they... really young? They are so similar as me. It's like young brats know how the world works. Maybe I feel self-reproach, but it can't help me from thinking about that. I stared at the guy who was holding me tightly... I just had to avoid his stare because... his dark stares were telling me something also.

'Take me with them.'

Totally... I was understanding everything by myself like a crazy bitch; however, I'm sure he was telling me that. I shook my head. You take stray cats or dogs but take a human? There was nothing like this anywhere in the world. Take that dude to my house without knowing anything about him? I tried hard to ignore him. Right then...

"(stomach grumbling)"
"Meow"
"(dog whine)"
"(crunch crunch)"

The signals that three animals... and one human sent. I know this. They are all different kind but they were telling one thing in common.

'Give me food.'

It was like new born chicks think the first thing they see is their mom. When he first opened his eyes, he saw me and thought I was his mom and grabbed on to me like he will never let go. I have to ignore him until the end... I have to... I can't believe how I feel really sad... Finally that day I made my another mistake.

"(Sigh).. Do... do you want to go? To... our house?"

I was stuttering. What if I just really misunderstood him and think whatever I felt like? I wasn't sure, so I was aware of him, but then he hold the box with one hand and stood up. But still he was grabbing my arm with another hand. he was sending a signal let's go.

"Let... let's go?"

This guy who flippantly followed me. I'm questioning if I'm doing the right thing. Haha, my quiet house will turn very loud from now on. The day when I became jobless, I found these pets that I have to take responsible of. Three animals and... one human.
