I walked up stairs. What did the paper say to do? Say KNEEPKNEEPMEEP? What kind of stupid stuff is that? It sounds so… childish. I’m still going to do it though… 

I took a deep breath. 

“Kneepkneepmeep” i said. I passed out. I closed my eyes as I hit the floor, expecting to feel the pain of my head hitting the hardwood floor. It never came. I opened my eyes, all I saw was a black abyss. I looked down at myself, only to see I had changed. My dark skin now a milky white. My curly black hair now straight and a dark grey. I had a small devil's tail. I put my head to my face, only to feel a thick liquid. I took my hands from my face to see what had been coming out my eyes. It was black, it looked like… tar! Oh Nononono this can't be happening. I called out.

“HELP!” I cried out. The only thing I heard was the echo of my cry.

“Anyone?!?” I asked.

“Yesssss.” a deep voice said. 

“W-who are you?” I asked, more scared than before. 

“Kneep. I am the guardian.” said the thing.

I couldn’t keep my laugh in.

“Pfft.” I laughed. The thing sighed.

“Why does this always happen…” it said, clearly annoyed. 

“Sorry, sorry!” “Can I see you please?” a huge cobra with eight heads. I stared in awe.

“You're that eight headed serpent thing that the person who wrote the thing was talking about!”

“Yes, yes I am.” “Now, to get you a spirit.” it said, slithering away.

“Wait for me!” I said running after the thing.

“Who said you could follow me?” It said, turning around to face me. (Well, it wasn’t really turning around, more like slithering around. It also isn’t really facing me, more like looking down at me.) 

“Ummm…. no one?” 

“Yes, but since you're already following me you can follow me to the chamber of the spirits.” 

“Okie!” I said running after it as it slithered to the spirits chamber.

After not even a minute we were in a dimly lit room, I really don’t know how we got there but we did. 

“This way.” We turned a corner and we were in a room with a bunch (like a T O N) of small glowing balls of light floating around. 

“Woahhhh! Are these all spirits?” I asked.

“Yes.” It slithered around. “And you will pick one to guide you.” 

“Hm... “ I thought for a moment. “What about that black one over there?” I said ponting to the corner to the left of us.

“Nate?” 

“Yes.” 

“Nate is a dark spirit. He is also very…”

“Very what?” 

“Very… kawaii.” It said.

“Is that a bad thing?” 

“Not.. necessarily.” 

“Okay, then can he guide me?” 

“Sure.” It said. “Just pick him up.” 

I walked over to the corner and cupped the small black light in my hands.

“Now you just need to think of an animal.” it said, looking at my hands.

“Okay.” I said think of my favorite animal, a cat. 

“Now, open your hands.” 

I slowly opened my hands and saw a small black animal. 

“Myew.” said the small ball of fur. Oh my goodness… that little sound is so cute! I thought. 

“It is a kitten. Now, please leave. You are getting annoying.”

“Yeesh… fine fine. Just tell me how to get home.” 

“Just say peempeenkpeenk.” 

“Um… okay.” I said.

I took a deep breath, “peempeenkpeenk” i said.

Once again I was back in my room, on the ground. The small kitten still in my hand. 

“Hi little kitten. Your Nate right?”

“Yes.” said a hight pitched voice. 

“Oh geez! You can talk?!” 

“Mhm.” 

“Okay… do you have any idea of how to tell my mom how I get a cat spirit that can talk?”

“Well, maybe you can *myew* just say that you found me and want to keep me as a pet because I was *myew* homeless.” it said.

“Okay… i think that might work…”

“Trust me it *myew* will.” 

“And if it doesn’t?” 

“Well, then I just *myew* brainwash her into letting *myew* me live with you guys!” 

“Wait…! You can do that?!”

“Yes.”

“Oh, please, please, PLEASE, don’t do that!” 

“I will only do it if I *myew* need to, relax.” 

“How can i relax!?!” “I just found out I have a weird ‘one of a kind’ power! I was just in another dimension, and now there is a cat spirit who is going to brainwash my mom!” 

“True, true- HEY! I *myew* told you I would only *myew* do that if I needed to!”

“Ughhhhh…” 

“Are you *hic* okay?”

“Are you hiccuping now?” I said laughing.

“Maybe…” he said, being a little stubborn kitten.

“Can cats even get the hiccups?” 

“I aM nOt A *myew* CaT.”

“Oh yeah, you're a cat spirit.”

΅No! I am just a *myew* spirit!... In a cat form- WAIT I am a *myew* cat!” 

“Told ya!” I said, smirking.

“Okay, but *myew* seriously, we should ask your mom if you can keep me.” 

“Kay.” I said getting up. I walked down stairs to my mom.

“Hey mom?”

“Mhm?” 

“Can I… um…. I found a cat... wait no, a kitten, and I want to keep it.”

“.... sure…” 

“Thanks mama!” I said jumping up and down.

“Your welcome.” she said smiling.
