Wasn't exactly sure where she was when she had escaped her master's clutches. He had taken her when she was young and needless to say, he had not been kind. Never allowed to go outside, locked away in a room with no windows. How did she ever do it? He made the mistake one night of trying to visit her while he was drunk. In her kitten form, she waited in the dark for him to come. It almost looked like her front end was laying on the floor, the hind end of the tiny white puff ball sticking up, her tail swaying back and forth against the floor. Closer and closer the loud thudding of his steps came. She counted in her head, watching with violet eyes, watching ... waiting... Just then the turning of the knob.
Nyght bolted out the door as soon as it cracked open, right between the man's legs, before he even realized what had happened. Moving throughout the house, she looked around for an open window, the house a mess... old moldy food thrown on the floor, no wonder the house smelt so bad. The living room. A breeze was coming through a window that was half opened, making the broken and some missing slats of a blind push into the house then slam against the wall when the wind died down. Here goes nothing.
She heard yelling. The voice coming closer as the man was stumbling her way. She climbed up the cloth like material of the tattered recliner and leaped towards the opening of the window. To her surprise, the momentum forced the screen to give way. Landing outside of the house, she did not have time to look around and bolted straight for the grass towards the street. She ran and ran and ran as fast as those four little paws could take her.
As she ran down the streets of the city of Akuzeth, she was nearly stepped on multiple times by different dragons that roamed the area. Nyght hid in various locations throughout the city, afraid that if she stayed in one place too long, her master would eventually find her.

Kenessa A feline in need is a friend indeed.
Well, no. See, I wasn't really on the troll for a new cat. Really, I was in Eokia looking for a nice toy for Patches. Still cat-related, but not entirely so. She was an easily-distracted little thing, and I needed to get things done before I went to go see Kishar in this Sonlas place.
I ended up coming here to Akuzeth, and my skin was crawling with each step. Eokia just wasn't right; nothing about it was. Unnatural in how purely natural it was... and that was coming from me, the Queen of the Weird and Mildly Eldritch. I looked stuff like that in the eye while I stole their money from under their noses - often quite literally.
Still, nothing could prepare me for the sight of a little cat throwing itself into a hiding place. "Oh. Shite," I said. Then, I bent over, looking to the thing. "Hey little guy. Whatcha runnin' from, there?"
I didn't see or hear whatever was trying to come after the animal, so I just assumed that it was just spooked. Planeswalking human True Neutral | 31 | Female nyghtmystress

Saw a dumpster and ran towards it, hoping that no one took too much notice of her, if any notice at all. Nyght lowered herself and began to crawl under the dumpster. She began to turn around,then lay down on her stomach, her tail curled against her paws, that head lowered. Violet hues picked up on the sight of a female and watched as her head appeared. As the woman began to speak, Nyght backed up slowly. She could not trust any humanoid at the moment.
Nyght gulped hard. She began to shake more violently, not knowing if she could trust the female. Slowly she closed her eyes, hoping the woman would just go away and leave her be.

Kenessa Poor thing, of course it was spooked. Cats in flight tended to be the shakiest things in existence. Little charged particles were less frantic than them on the worst days.
I sat still, nodding to it. "Hey now, it's ok. I'm one of the good ones," I tried to reassure the thing. I realized, in the back of my head, that it might actually understand human language, considering where we were, but I wasn't going to start talking to it like a person. My interactions with them were much less tender.
"You hungry? I got some food," I reached into my bag slowly, trying to pull out a package with equal slowness. Didn't want the kitten scurrying off thinking I was gonna hurt it. Planeswalking human True Neutral | 31 | Female nyghtmystress

When the female spoke of being one of the good ones, Nyght's eyes began to slowly open. Those violet hues staring straight at the female. She spoke of food and Nyght's stomach growled, not remembering the last time her 'master' actually fed her. She was glad she was not in her human form, for if it was food this female was offering, it would more likely to fill her stomach in this form. Nyght watched closely as the female stuck her hand into the pocket and saw her hand fishing around for something. Nyght inched slightly forward, tilting her head to the left curiously.

Kenessa I withdrew a piece of meat from my bag. It was something I was planning to give Patches when I got home, but hey. Something needed my help.
When the hell did I become a Samaritan. Probably around the time I realized that the universe was willing to unmake all of my best laid plans.
I guess I also didn't realize that it was doing that from the very beginning. That raised a lot of implications about my actions that I wasn't quite ready to face at the moment.
Either way, I was here, bending down, holding out some meat to a cat under a dumpster. Smelled like ass here, but it was worth helping the creature.
"Here you are. Come now," I said in a soft voice, moving the meat in a small circle to show the kitten it was safe to reach out for.
Good Gods, I really was turning into a nice person. Ick. Planeswalking human True Neutral | 31 | Female nyghtmystress

Watched as a piece of meat was exposed from the female's pocket. When it was presented to Nyght, the tiny kitten used her front paws to slowly inch forward. Once Nyght became close enough to be able to grab the meat with her mouth, those violet eyes looked up at the female and she gave out a soft mew, almost as if she were asking permission to eat the meat.
Stomach growled some more being this close to food and she could not help herself. She reached for the meat with her mouth and took it with her teeth. She pulled the meat from the female's hand and placed it on the ground and began to take tiny bites of it. A soft purr began to omit from Nyght as she enjoyed the taste of the meat. Once she was finished, that tiny tongue escaped her lips as she licked them over. Head then lifted and she looked up at the woman, letting out another mew.

Kenessa Fucking hell, if that wasn't the cutest thing I'd seen this month, I dunno what was.
"Yeah, see? Don't gotta be afraid," I said to the kitten with a smile, holding up more meat. "More where that came from, too."
I wanted to pet it, I really, really did. But, I knew cats weren't too keen on that unless they were cool with you.
So, I was patient, and I asked her a question. "You wanna come with me, kitty? It's cold out here, by yourself." Planeswalking human True Neutral | 31 | Female

Nyght blinked when she saw another piece of meat. She wanted to devour it. Would she be able to? The female spoke of there being more where that came from. Nyght took that as a green light to eat the other piece. She brought her right front paw up and placed the pads against the female's hand then pulled it away, placing it back on the ground. That mouth then took the other piece of meat and placed that one on the ground as well. The purring this time was a little louder. And just as the female asked Nyght if she wanted to come home with her... Nyght heard 'him'.
It was her 'master'. He was calling out her name, "Nyght where are you? You little bytch. When I find you I will make sure you never shift again. I'll crush your hands and feet! Come here you little..." Nyght quickly jumped up and dove into the pocket of the female's coat, shivering violently once more. Nyght letting out a scared mew, letting the female know just what she was afraid of.
The man was 6'2 in height, slender with a muscular build. He was using his magics to light up dark corners as well as lifting things to look underneath or behind them. The man looked to be in his late 30's with black hair and green eyes. The scent of alcohol almost enough to make a person wretch as it seemed to ooze out of his pores. He spotted the female and called out, "You girl!" Nyght grew stiff as a board. "Have you seen a white kitten with violet eyes, or a tall woman with long black hair and violet eyes come through here?"

Kenessa When kittens jump to you for safety, that means that the thing that's spooking them is pretty near you.
I gathered that much from the way she was acting. Poor thing.
When the drunkard made his appearance, it was a very primal anger that bubbled up in me. My hand was on my gun when he addressed me directly, asking for the whereabouts of the cat.
"Try searchin' your house?" I pointed a thumb to the gutter on the side of the building. "Cats like to hide in those places." Planeswalking human True Neutral | 31 | Female

The man saw Kenessa place her hand on her gun. "You gonna shoot me little girl?" He asked her. Her words and the motion towards the gutter made him narrow his eyes and scoff at her. "Mind your tongue.... ahh the hell with you" he stumbled towards the gutter calling out, "NYGHT! Get out here! When I find you your gonna get it and good!"
Nyght stayed balled up within the females pocket. Her face buried beneath her paws. Eyes clenched shut as if he could see her through the material of the coat the woman was wearing.

Kenessa I wasn't usually immediately violent toward people. It didn't do me good for business to just go around punching everything that looked mildly unsettling.
This guy was really pushing that to the limit. I don't even think I had a reason to not shoot him.
"Listen ya drunk bastard," My voice was as calm as it could get. Nothing about this guy scared me. "You got five seconds to turn and leave."
Technically, we were in an alleyway, and playing bouncer there was pretty stupid, even I could admit, but I wasn't exactly running on logic. It was just pure protective instinct, by this point.
So I started the countdown in my head, and at the count of five... well, that was an easy one. Planeswalking human True Neutral | 31 | Female

The man turned towards Nessa, stumbling and nearly falling as he heard what she had to say, "Ahh the hell with you. She ain't here" the man stumbles off, calling out for Nyght once again. After Nyght could no longer hear his calls for her, she slowly brought her front paws up to rest on the top of the pocket, followed by her tiny, fluffy head. Tilting her head back, she looked up at the woman and let out an inquisitive, "Mew?"

Kenessa When the bastard left, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. A fight would've been pretty gruesome with the little one sitting in my pocket. Turning my head down to the kitten, I reached in try and pet her head. "Hey now, he's gone. Let's head home. Too cold out here for ya, methinks."

When the woman said that he was gone, Nyght let out a soft mew. Then she felt the hand. At first instinct, she pulled her head away and looked to the woman's hand. Seeing the fingers dangle there, Nyght slowly began to brush her furry head against the flesh on the back of the woman's hand. When she sensed that there was no danger about to come from it, Nyght's head leaned against the hand and started to emit a soft purr
