Description
  "Sorry about Jim and your wrist and everything. I promise, normal days aren't like this." Val smiled sweetly when we got back to my house.
  "It's okay, I'm used to weird." I smiled slightly as we pulled into the driveway with Matt behind us.
  We all got out of the cars and stood in the driveway. We all talked for a minute before they needed to leave.
  "Kat, take care of yourself, life is dangerous around here." Matt frowned as he leaned across to look at me.
  "Um, okay? Take care of yourselves too guys." I smiled awkwardly, not entirely understanding why that warning was warranted.
  "Take care Katie, we'll see you soon." Val hugged me and got into the car.
  "Bye guys." I waved walking into my house as they backed out of the driveway.

-Days Later-

  The days grew monotonous as I sat alone in my room, sifting through old clothes. Since no one had been at school since the day we went to the playground I sat quietly observing the behavior of my fellow students and as I watched I realized that something wasn't right. It always seemed like I was watching a terrible game be played out.
  I heard something outside of my window as I walked across the room to see what it was since I was home alone again. A small cat sat in the bushes playing with a stray leaf.
  I picked up the tiny stray and shut the window quietly. As I turned to face my bed a clawed and wrapped around my throat, lifting me from the ground. The kitten now sat in the floor hissing as I kicked and clawed at my attacker. I looked into the ghostly looking monster's eyes and choked out a scream as I felt the wind being sucked from my lungs. I could hear a woman screaming in the distance but everything was growing blurry. In the next second so many things happened I could hardly process it all. Three people appeared from nowhere knocking aside the monster and catching me before I hit the ground. One held me carefully as I watched the other two dismember the evil creature and throw it into a floating fire that devoured the pieces. My head was spinning and my vision was phasing in and out.
  The three people all faced me looking worried. I just felt exhausted and the kitten still sat in the floor hissing. They all talked below a whisper as one picked up the cat to calm it. They sat me in my bed before handing me something.
  "Eat this, it's chocolate. It'll make you feel better, I promise." The one that was holding me.
  I nibbled at it carefully and closed my eyes for a minute, to steady my head. I could tell the chocolate was helping and that my vision was clearing, but I was too exhausted to open them again. I simply rolled into the chest of whomever it was holding me and attempted sleep.
  "You all go ahead home. Just tell everyone I'm staying here for the night." The one that held me whispered pulling the covers over both of us.
  "You're sure?" one of the others questioned.
  "Yes, now go on, I have to get some sleep tonight." The one scolded settling in.
  The tiny kitten curled up between our legs and we all quickly fell to sleep.

  Everything hurt as I woke up, but I felt fairly good considering everything that happened the previous night. A long arm was spread across my shoulders and I felt the warm breath of my savior from last night. I slowly rolled over, careful not to disturb the sleeping man and kitten that lay against me. When I looked up I saw the brightest blue eyes gazing down at me.
  "What are you doing here?" I demanded a little harsher than intended.
  "Let's see, I saved your life last night and stayed to make sure that the death eaters didn't come back. So I'm here because I volunteered to play bodyguard instead of making Matt or Val stay with your bitching ass." Jimmy growled scratching the tiny black kitten's head, "By the way, where'd you get this cat?"
  "I just found her outside the window. What the hell is a death eater?"
  "Well, that's hard to explain, but you need to know that you've just become a part of our family. You're an animagus now." He smiled happily.
  "I'm a what?!" I griped staring at him.
  "An animagus, you're a shape-shifter of magical origins."
  "And how exactly do you know that I'm an animagus?" I questioned petting the cat.
  "When I kissed you, I screwed up. You have a magically susceptible blood, technically called a mud-blood, therefore when I kissed you I accidentally let some of my saliva mix with yours, in turn making you an animagus. That's also why I was so cruel after you called everyone freaks. Muggles are so absolutely insufferable when it comes to dealing with the discovery of magic. I thought you sensed our magic so I moved to protect everyone. I'm the first person to bring in even a mud-blood and leave it to me to get you targeted." He sighed staring at the ceiling.
  "Why would I be targeted?" I questioned, for some reason believing everything he had said.
  "They kill off newborns so no army can be created. You're an oddity and we need to claim you." He sighed stroking the cat, "So what's her name?"
  "Oh um, I don't know. I just found her last night. I love the name Satine."
  I smiled seeing his smile; he really was a sweet guy. I could understand why he hated me attacking his friends. I mean, I never would have allowed a stranger that I brought around to just attack my friends like I did his.
  I sat silently stroking Satine thinking about everything I had just learned about myself. Everything was gibberish but it all kind of made sense to me. Jimmy's blue eyes watched the small black kitten that clawed at his chest as he grinned happily. I still found him beautiful, but there was something more now, something that just seemed to draw me in. I sprung across the bed and attached my lips to his, hungrily. He received the affection happily as I slid closer. My hands moved lower on his bare torso as I moved even closer. Jimmy's arms wrapped around me as I sat on top of his hips; I moved to undo his belt before his hands pushed me away.
  "Oh no you don't." he scolded looking up at me.
  "What? I can't have sex anymore or something?" I whined moving away from the bed.
  "No, you can still have sex." He chuckled.
  "Then what? Do you not want me?" I was legitimately hurt by his rejection.
  "It's not that either." He smiled happily, "trust me, I want to give you everything you deserve, you're beautiful. But I can't."
  "Why not? I'm plenty old enough and you just spent the night in my bed?" I pouted.
  "Because you'll kill me." He sighed with a crooked smile.
  "I'll kill you? How?" great now I really am a freak!
  "You're still changing, without training or you being aware of what abilities you have you're likely to change in the middle of…well, you know where I'm going. You would literally rip me apart." He smiled grimly.
  "Okay, so no sex till I learn everything about me?" he nodded, "then let's get to work."
  "It's not that easy. You have to change first."
  "So change me." I was getting impatient.
  "I can't, we can speed up the process, but no one can make it happen. So let's get dressed for a workout and hit the compound." He smiled standing up to find his shirt.
