The Catboy's Master (SilverRain x Somewittyname)

[SilverRain]

A boy named Sora cheerfully waved at customers who waked past the bakery. The afternoon sun was setting and Sora was in charge of closing up shop. The owner of the shop had gone to another town to sought a new type of flour. The owner was Mr. Willows, a plump and jolly man that everyone liked.

To everyone, Sora was a regular human boy - not many knew that he was in fact a catboy. He had hidden his cat ears and tail, which were the same colour as his soft brown hair.

It was an advantage for him to be working at the bakery because all the mice were scared of him. Sometimes when it was night and no one was looking, Sora would change into his catboy form and go around pouncing on all the mice he could find. It was a fun activity. And there were other times when he would go to a distant hill and quietly watch the moon and the stars.

Sora was a quiet catboy. He had been seperated from the rest of the clan when they were being attacked by humans. He just kept on running and running till he tumbled down a hill and fell into a sack of flour at the mill. Then he got delivered to the bakery and that was when his new life started. Sora wanted to go home, but there was no home for him anymore. He had to find his clan, but had lost track of them. He kept his catboy form hidden since then. He feared that the humans would kill him if they found out.

Sora continued to pack up the buns and unused ingredients before he started to sweep the floor. He was all dusty with flour now and shook his head a little bit to get the flour out of his hair. Little did he know that he wouldn't be staying in the bakery for much longer...


OOC: You also get a picture of catboy Sora, but for our RP he would be a little bit older

With night down and the whole country-side folks fast asleep or just relaxing in home figures started to roam the sidewalks. Snatching up whatever unlucky soul that was alone or just easy pickings. Tonight was a very important night for one of the clans that stood in the country-side. A figure moved across the side-walk slowly and stopped in front of the local bakery shop. He could see a lone figure moving about, seemed to be young and from what light pretty cute. It’d make a perfect gift for the new prince.

The door unlocked for the being and with soundless steps he made his ways to the boy. Within a blink of an eye he wrapped an arm around the boy’s arm and torso as his cold hands covered his mouth and nose. It only took a few minutes for a regular human to be knocked out. It was easy and truthfully the being was sad that it hadn’t taken much to grab his present. Either way he had it now and hopefully his older brother, Prince Daniel, would enjoy it in whatever matter he liked.

************************************************** *************

Walls were covered in brightly colored wine red and sun gold drapes, each with the clan’s crest. There was a long wooden table with a hundred plates and goblets neatly in place. There were too chairs at the head of the table with silver dining ware that had some jewels actually embedded into them. Humans hurried as they tried setting up everything just before their many guests arrived. Daniel watched his servants hurry their pace as the party soon would start.

“Oh loving brother of mine~” a voice cooed from behind the marble doors. Daniel groaned softly he ran his fingers through his hair before calling back “Come in. And hurry we only have a short time before we have to attended this thing.” Daniel said. The large stone door opened up and a young vampire walked in with a rather large bag. Shaking his head the older male did not want to see what latest gift his brother had gotten for him.
“Oh, calm now. I got you something you’ll love! Well I would guess you love, I mean you like blood either way right?”
“Robert.”
“Heh, well look in.” Robert grinned as he sat the bag down. Daniel looked at the bag, it was as tall as his younger brother, who was 5’8.9 and as wide as the marble door. Looking in Daniel shook his head in disbelief
“…Damn it Robert…”

OOC: Cute <3!

[SilverRain]

Sora thought he heard some noise from the bakery and when the door was opened cold wind drifted in. He tried to look at what had just opened the door, only to suddenly find that someone had caught him. There was a gasp from Sora. He tried to fling about his arms, but that didn't do anything except send flour everywhere. Eventually Sora passed out.

---------------

He later woke up and found he was being carried around in a bag of sorts. The bag bobbed and swayed meaning that he was being taken somewhere. Did the humans find out that he was a catboy? What were they going to do to him? He didn't want to be sold or tortured. Sora looked about and wriggled around in the bag. Maybe he could make a hole in it and then escape. But by the time he thought of that, he heard a voice.

Sora silently listened to the conversation, though he felt a bit lost by it. His captors... they didn't sound mean like the barbarians of animal circuses. Their voices were gentle and calm, one with laughter and the other with patience. But what were they going to do to him? It felt scary being in a bag like this. Being in a bag usually meant a terrible fate! Sora felt the bag being set down and he tumbled forwards. Then someone opened the top of the bag and peeked in. Sora came face to face with the man named Daniel and it was here that he realised that his kitty ears and tail were out.

Sora meeped, climbed free from the bag and started to make a quick dash towards the marble doors.

[Somewittyname]

Seeing the cat ears and tail Daniel was surprised and looked at his brother “You got me a demon?” Daniel asked surprised to see the cute boy. Watching as he attempted to run off Robert laughed and quickly grabbed the lad hugging him. “His adorable! Look! Look Daniel! He has the ears and tail!” Robert giggled as he played with the ears and tail. Shaking his head Daniel closed all the doors and sat on his bed as his brother took a seat beside him and held the neko.

“I swear with you Robert! Give him here.” He said taking the boy. Sitting him on his lap he carefully brushed the demon’s hair away from his face and examined him. He was adorable, and looked very frighten. “What’s your name?” Daniel asked in a soothing voice as he sat the boy down on the bed and stood up. HE had to pull Robert up but he made sure there was enough space between them and the neko so the poor thing wouldn’t be more frighten as it already was.

[SilverRain]

"Wah! Help!" went Sora meekly as he was picked up. He sort of squirmed and tried to wriggle free - a mostly futile attempt. He looked up at Robert when he heard that he was called cute. So these guys weren't going to torture him? That was a bit of a relief. When Sora was set down, he stayed still and let Robert play with his ears and tail. Sora panicked a little when he saw the one named Daniel get up to close the doors.

Daniel then took Sora into his hands and gently set him down onto the bed. It was only now that Sora noticed his surroundings. The bed was nice and soft - better than anything he ever slept on. For him it was mostly a wooden bed without a mattress. Stacking hay worked as well as some duck feathers, but this bed was comfy. The furnishings around the room was grand and Sora's gaze remained on the red and gold crest on display. What did it mean? The air was sweet and nice too, different to the sweetness of baked bread. Sora's scent was freshly baked bread.

Sora was somewhat startled when Daniel asked him his name. "S-Sora, my name is Sora" replied the boy. Sora felt nervous. What were they going to do to him? Why was he kidnapped? Most times when people were taken away by force, it meant something bad. Sora pulled his knees up to his face forming what could be said as a tight kitty ball. "W-Where am I? Why am I here?" asked Sora. He didn't want to ask what was going to happen to him. He didn't want to find out. He hoped the bakery was okay.

[Somewittyname]

Daniel sighed and a glared was given to the man beside him before he turned his attention back to the trembling lad in front of him. Grabbing his robe that would be quite over-sized for the smaller male he walked over slowly and covered the boy's shoulders. Wrapping him in the thick and warm robe he smiled softly "You are in my castle ... and for from I could get out of the idiot over there,"
"Hello."
"You are a present of mines. I ... under our laws, can not let you leave now." he said softly with an apologetic tone. Looking back to the door he stood up "Now now Rose, please return back stairs and prepare a plate of meats and fresh fish please." he said out loud. There had been no sound of anyone even coming to the door yet, Daniel had heard his maid coming from the stairs. Tilting the boy's head back he examined him, he was indeed a rare breed that was quickly dying off due to the humans. Stroking his cheek he stepped back.

"I guess I'll keep him, its either that or be a part of the least of the food chain to kill off their breed. I rather not see this breed died." Daniel looked to Robert who smiled. Then frown when he saw how pissed off his brother was. With a nervous giggle and a half-ass excused he quickly left the room with the door firmly shut behind him. Daniel sat on the bed and patted beside him. "Understand," he began in a soothing voice "I understand you are frighten and unsure of what is happening, but I will make sure of your safety and well being. You don't have to scared here, here you could stay in your naturally form as long as you like."

[SilverRain]

Sora cuddled up to the nice and warm robe that was placed around it. It felt protective and safe inside it. This scent... was it Daniel's? Sora guessed so. With what Daniel said next, it made Sora's mind wander. Sora had never been in a castle before - he had only heard about it from the townsfolk. He had been told of long and twisting corridors that never end secret passages and hidden rooms, grand ballrooms and dining rooms, places where all of the land can be viewed from one window. Anyone who entered one could very well get lost within it. With so many things to discover and see for himself, Sora became eager to explore this castle (especially the high lookout points). Thinking about it, who could own a castle? Was it only Kings and Royalty? Sora never really thought about that before.

Sora lets Daniel tilt his head back - it felt sort of ticklish. He didn't feel he was in danger as Daniel and his brother had kind voices and enchanting eyes. Sora did however, become a little confused. Why was he referred to as a present and what did it mean in this context? Sora didn't understand why he couldn't leave. It brought him back to the bitter realisation that this was in the end still kidnapping. He was brought here in a bag. Was he going to be trapped here forever? What would happen if he tried to escape? Sora became a little unsettled.

But the freedom of being able to let out his kitty ears and tail brought a strange comfort back to Sora (even though it confused him even more). As a catboy hiding amongst the humans, it was a hard life every day. Each sound at night would make Sora jump awake because he thought the humans had found out about his secret form. Hiding his ears and tail were hard because it was like holding your breath the whole day. Even the bakery man eventually got suspicious. Sora lived in constant fear.

Sora could sort of make a link as to why Daniel waned to keep him here. It was a form of protection wasn't it? But part of Sora felt a bit restricted. And perhaps a little fear of the unknown. Sora's voice was a little shaky as he asked his questions. "Thank you for giving me a place to stay, but is there a reason why I can't leave? What happens if I try to leave? Also, what do I do here? Who else is in this castle?" asked the very curious Sora.

[Somewittyname]

Smirking when the boy started to ask the many questions Daniel knew he had a neko for sure. Petting his head he stood and opened the door as a woman came in with a plate of food. Setting the plate in front of the neko and welcoming the woman to the door Daniel closed the door and went to the balcony doors “Well, there are many reasons. The main ones are that if you are found outside of the castle walls you will most likely be shot or seen as a threat by the humans if you get too far from here. If you try to leave well, you’ll be lost here. There are many rooms and halls that are left unattended and if you became lost …. You may die there.” Daniel said softly as he pushed open the balcony doors. The sweet aromas of sweet honey and roast started to fill the room and fresh bread as well. All had a slight iron scent as well, the iron from the fresh blood being poured over each food item and into the drinks as well. “You can do basically anything here, run around, play, and chase the many mice and birds that live in the castle as well. Besides myself, there are three of my sisters, my brother as you have had the unpleasant chance of meetings, and my human servants. You do not have to worry about them, they won’t be frighten by you and for the most part will leave you alone unless you need a bath or feed.”

Grabbing his clothes from the rack he sighed softly going behind some blinds as he started to change. “You may eat your food. I’ll leave the door open if you want to explore but please do not go into any of the dark halls. I do not want you to get lost.” Coming out from behind the blinds Daniel was dressed in a dark blood red coat with gold and silver designing over it. His black tights went well over the whole look, he almost seemed like a prince from a story book tale. Smiling he walked over and scratched the young demon behind his ear.
“Sora, please do not be scared here. There is no reason to be.”

Daniel stood straight before starting to the door “Relax, I promise nothing will happen to you." with that Daniel left the room, the marble door creaked open enough to allow Sora to leave the room if he pleased.

[SilverRain]

Sora meowed when Daniel petted his head. It felt good to be petted. When the food came in Sora looked curiously at it. He hadn't come to realise that he was in a vampire's manor. The food smelt a bit different, but it looked the same. Sora just assumed it was a special way of cooking used by the richer population. The neko would heed the warning to stay away from dark corridors. After all, nekos weren't that famous for their fighting skill and Sora didn't want to run into anything that was bigger than him (in case it thought that he was food). That and he didn't want to die getting lost in the corridors.

The mention of a bath made Sora feel a bit weird. He usually just bathed himself, sometimes in a tab or in the lake. He didn't like the running water of rivers or waterfalls though. The fast running water and sound made him feel as if he would be swept away. He had heard of how royalty would be bathed by people, or at least something along the lines of that. The thought made him blush a little. Oh but then if things did get a bit strange, he could always just change into his housecat form and lick himself clean. That would work.

Sora just gazed somewhat absentmindedly when Daniel was changing behind the rack. Daniel's dress made Sora look in awe and he felt that Daniel was like a powerful ruler. He looked cool. Oh and so did the black tights - they felt 'Daniel-like'. Sora liked being scratched behind the ears and he sort of bended and twisted around, playing with Daniel's hand. He flattened his ears against his hand and then momentarily fell back on the bed before he righted himself again.

After Daniel left, Sora ate the food by sniffing and then licking it first. Then he began to nibble at it before he actually ate it. He started with the fish first because that was what he liked best. After all the food was finished (Sora didn't want things to go to waste), Sora walked up to the door and peeked out. It looked safe... And then Sora saw a mouse. He gave chance - being bipedal was much more convenient as he could see more. Of course being on all fours was faster, but he preferred his human ways. Sora liked chasing mice - they were a bit like toys to him. Both he and the mice would stay away from the corridors either from the warning or instinct itself. After more fun chasing, Sora pounced on the mouse, catching it in his hands. He picked it up and played with it for a moment before letting it run off to safety. Even though Sora was a neko, he felt that he liked human food more than mouse food.

Sora looked around... wait... where was he now? Sora had probably winded up somewhere else from all the chasing. Then again, he could probably backtrack using his own scent. But what was this place?

[Somewittyname]

Daniel felt a bit younger with his new pet, he had once had a neko but she had been old and more motherly than a playmate to Daniel. It was nice to have a younger male who seemed to be full of life and always wondering about the world spinning around them. This would be fun for them.

The feast started an hour after Daniel left the bedroom the feast began with the guest coming in one by one. Every madam and sir came, all dressed in their finest robes with ever hair in place and fangs showing. He stood at the head of the table, father on his right side and his siblings on his left. Everything began slowly, as usual. A long speech of when Daniel was turned at the age of 19 years old and how now the 500 year old kin now seemed like he had been living longer than any of his other kins.

Maids and servants wandered the halls, all ignoring Sora as he ran pass them. No one notice or feared the little kitten, they knew he wouldn’t attack them.

Currently Sora was in the halls that lead to the dance room. By now the soft melodies of violins and harps leaking into the rooms of the castle companied by laughter and chatter from the women of the higher classes. Daniel stood by the open door balcony and stared out at the dark fields. It was nice and calm, much different from his youth years. He remembered the hard years he once lived, Summers of sweating and lugging heavy logs home; Winters of shivering and hoping the crops did freeze; Springs of hunting game; and Falls preparing for the festival of the dead, hoping to please his departed family members. Deep, heavy sigh escaped Daniel and he smiled.

“So, how is your pet doing?”
“Hello Robert, he is doing well. Seems like he enjoys my castle, I think he’ll be fine with staying here.”
