The Nightmare!

Hello, I decided to post a short story. Actually i have made a lot of short stories, but i never finished them. I managed to finish this one because i have to post it on my writing class journal. So YES! this is my very first short story. There are a lot of grammar mistakes when i made it, but now i've corrected some of them. Maybe some of the mistakes are still there, but i hope it won't disturb the reading. Ow and i forgot to mention that, don't get me wrong! I do love cats! Feeling clueless? just read it! ^^ Enjoy it!

This morning I saw a black cat crossed in front of my house. He stopped and looked at me with his filthy face, pleading. Pshaw! I hated the face. I hate the eyes. I hate cats! Know what? All cats were hypocrites, pretending to be vulnerable so that people feel pity. Acted annoyingly sweet when they’re asking food, but silently left when the master no longer had any food. This cat was no exception. I sniffed in disgust as the black cat approached my feet and rubbed his head. I could feel my stomach twisting, ready to throw up, not my lunch, but my hatred. And I did. Before I realized, my feet has already kicked him, right at the abdomen. A lot surprised, the cat looked at me sharply and hissed. A strong, long hiss. His fur was all standing up straight. Something in his eyes made me wanna step back and run. Lucky me, or so I thought, the cat decided to take his leave first.

As I was in my room, I contemplated my action in the night. Did I do too much? I thought. But then a sound came to my brain, ‘What the heck? it's a cat! He deserves it!’ it said. That’s true. I don’t have to think about it. The cats were all hypocrites, right? So yes, he deserved it.

I was about to sleep when I heard a soft voice coming out of the blue, "OH NO, my darling. He does not deserve it.” I rose up and looked around in fear someone was in my room without my knowing. And I found… nothing. Nothing or no one was in here except me. It must be my thought, then. Feeling relieved, I shrugged back my blanket. The night was so cold.

“No one deserves that, dear. Especially a special cat like me.” Startled, I rose up again, but now I didn’t need to look around because I was looking straight into two glowing golden eyes of the same cat that I had seen this morning. I saw him standing at the end of my bed. How did he get in? And as if he knew what’s on my mind, the cat replied again, " I said I’m not a normal cat. I am special. That’s why I can enter this room" I blinked my eyes, lest I was hallucinating. But I wasn’t! The cat was real! He was talking! To me! And his eyes… his eyes were… all glowing… in a scary way. I could feel my body began to tremble.

"You had done a terrible thing to me this morning, don’t you remember?”

I gulped, couldn't find my words.

“Why did you do that, dear? Have I ever harmed you?” demanded him. For this question, I had my voice back, “You are a hypocrite creature!” I screamed.

Silence at a moment. Then the cat tsk-tsking. The he began “Do you think I’m a horrible animal? Then look at yourself!”

Suddenly my body felt itchy. My hair seemed to elongate. Something happened to me! I saw the cat grining in satisfaction. I do not know what happened to me until I saw myself in the mirror. Oh NO! My body was full of hair, I had fangs and sharp-nailed! I also had tail! I was scared and screamed loudly. So loud that I could feel my throat could had snapped.

I sat on my bed. Sweet turned down on my forehead. I examined my surrounding and looked at the clock. This was my bedroom, and it was still 4 am. I checked my hands and feet, they’re normal. Thanks God, it was only a dream! Then I laughed at my own stupidity.

"Why are you laughing? Are you happy? ", asked a voice. Then I replied, "Of course. I ... “, wait! Where did the voice come out?! I looked around and found the familiar black creature on the table. His eyes that glowed in the dark showed the real threat. If the cat is here, it means.... "How is your night, dear? Did you enjoy it" asked it again. I popped my eyes in fear. It was not a nightmare!
