Cat Cuddles (Eden)

Athena sighed as she looked at the dark cieling with white stars painted on it. Her thoughts dwelled on the fact that she would be going back to school the next day. The seventeen year old would be a senior at Eden Falls, her stomach was filled with frogs leaping all around inside her stomach.

A soft meow caught the teen's attention. Athena sat up and saw a group of cats and kittens in the doorway of her. The black cat in the center caught her gaze. "Alright, Cer, you can let the brood in," she told her mother's familiar.

Moments later, her bed was covered in furry felines. Athena's own familiar Obsidian, sat in her lap and began batting at her hand with his paw. She took this as a sign to give in to her cat's demands. Cerberus and Isis, who were mother's familiars were on Athena's left, with sharp eyes the black and white females watched the other cats, who came from their various liters.

Both Archer and Nate's familiars were present, a surprise to Athena as neither of the cats particulary liked being far from their humans. Athena gently gave Bones and Arthur each a scratch behind the ears. A giggle escaped Athena's lips as she watched Nefetiri and Cleopatra wrestle with each other. The kittens who belonged to Venus and Calliope were from Isis's first liter, the white kittens still had a lot of growing.

Athena reached into her nightstand and pulled out the laser. She flashed it on the floor. Immediatly, five kittens jumped from the bed to chase after the light. Athena laughed, as she kept darting the light away from the felines as they chased the light and piled on top of each other. Isis and Cerberus both moved into Athena's lap.

"They really are silly, aren't they Cer and Isis?" she asked the two cats with a happy smile on her face.

Spring Goodbyes

With sad brown eyes she kissed him goodbye. They hated goodbyes, even though they happened once a year. Though he didn't like hugs, she always gave him one.

"I'll be back in six months. You won't even notice that I'm gone," she promises as they pull apart.

A sad smile is on his weathered faced. "I always notice when you're gone, my Persephone."

Gently, she cupped his cheek with her hand. "Close your eyes," she whispered as her lips brushed against his.

Exasperated, the Lord of the Underworld did as he was told. With eyes closed he accepted one last kiss, before he felt his wife's prescence leave their home. Eyes cracked, he spotted Cerberus at his feet. A sadness filled him, his shoulders fell as together he and his dog moved back inside to wait for six months.

Wake Up Calls (TAG)

Sunlight filtered into the large bay windows, the beams of light fell across the floor and through the bed. Golden rays fell onto Ella Rosewood’s face, as the morning arrived.

A groan escaped the mahogany haired teen’s lips, as she flipped over and pulled a blanket up over her face. Ella was not ready for the morning to start, she grumbled as she buried her face under the pillows.

Ella slept peacefully for another hour, before a knock came from the door.

“Ella, wake up!” the voice of one Virgil Tracey called from behind the wooden door.

Another groan escaped the teen’s lips before she grabbed one of the many pillows on her bed and threw it in the direction of the door. “Go away,” her muffled voice grumpily mumbled back to her brother.
