Thread: Cat and Mouse(KaryxCheshire)

The guests that he and been expecting, much like him, were also part cat. There were a few others but they kept to themselves. It was to be the party of parties and everyone brought something with them to show off. Usually it was a new piece of jewelry or a camera with pictures of the latest thing that he purchased and, on top of all else, stories of their latest conquests over smaller cooperations. But there was one guest who had a rather unusual thing to bring to the ball with him. At the end of a short chain there was a collar and this caller was around the neck of a young girl. This was not just any young girl, no, not any girl got to go to a cat??s ball. She was beautiful. Her cream colored skin was perfectly flawless and her long golden hair looked to be smooth as silk, currently it sat in pigtails that draped over her shoulders and went all the way down to her hips. Her big chestnut brown eyes gazed at the floor, her bangs hiding them when she kept her head down. Her dress was beautiful, a strapless pink gown with one of the lowest backs in the room. A pink lace wove the sites together but still showed all of her back, giving the dress almost the look of a corset. The dress matched the large pink ribbons that kept her hair in pigtails. The dress back was so low that just over the top of it a long, skinny, golden tail was able to com just over the top of the back. That tail was part of the reason she was on the chain but having a tail was no problem, just about everyone here showed their tail??s proudly. It was what was on top of her head that kept her chained. On the sides of her head sat big, round, mouse ears. Currently those ears fell to press against her head, a clear sign she was frightened. Being a young, lone mouse in a room full of cats she had every right to be. The man holding the chain was a well known busyness man, said to have started form nothing to come out with one of the biggest businesses in the world today. The man had red hair but not a freckle in sight, his ears wore stripes as did his tail, but not tiger strips, more like those of a tabby. Before they had entered the man had stopped just outside and pulled the child away from the other guests, pulling on the chain and choking her slightly. Her hands went to the collar but he just laughed at her futile attempts. He was holding it just tight enough to make it hard to breath but not to cut off all the air. ??You should be very happy girl. Not many of your kind get to attend one of these without ending up as the main course.? He told her, then he asked. ??Are you happy I brought you?? She wasn??t happy, she had thought that him coming here would give her a night away form his cruelty, she could find a way to escape. Instead he brought her here on a leash in a dress that she thought showed off far too much of her skin to still be considered formal. Still, see couldn??t tell him any of this. He gave her some slack and she coughed a few times before saying. ??Yes master, thank you for bringing me.? She stole a glance up at him, this did not seem to be good enough and she knew she would get it later if she didn??t make him happy. ??I-I am undeserving of such a beautiful gown to go to such a beautiful event, thank you for finding it in your heart to bring me along.? Thank seemed to pacify him because he brought her inside with a smile on his face. There was not enough slack for her to fall behind so she had to keep up but never walk in front of him. As he introduced her to some people he would look down at her and give the leash a tug so it pulled at her neck. ??Ears up.? He would say, and she would perk up her big round ears and sometimes hear other cats laugh. She hated it there. While he danced he kept the chain in one hand so she would have t follow closely without getting in the way of other dancers. People seemed to think this was amusing so he always had a dance partner and she always had to keep moving alone. After all, no one wanted to dance with a mouse. When he was tired he bought her to the table, she was forced to stand next to him while he ate. When he sat they were at eye level so she did her best to keep her attention of others things to avoid meeting his eyes or seeing the food. Occasionally she would feel his hand on her lower back. Someone, she didn??t know who, grabbed her tail from the base and pulled. She let out a surprised squeak and his whole table seemed to explode into laughter. The best, and worst distraction from all this, was the buffet table. From where she stood she could smell al the different kinds of foods on it. There were grapes and strawberries and raspberries and blue berries, even black berries. She could smell different flavors of cheese cubes and even sardines on the table. There was crackers and bread and butter. Her mouth almost watered at the idea that she might be able to get to the table. The music hid the sound of her stomach growling. She was so hungry, she wished that her Master Aliwar would let her have even one cheese cube.
