Bab 153: Free

"Aren't you going to open it?" the woman asked from the embrace of one of her husbands. And while I was sure that her words were supposed to be reassuring since no one wants to be locked in a cage, they scared me instead.

I didn't want the cage open, even if it meant that I could pet the cat. I was very happy and content here while the screams continued to cut through the night sky.

Really… very happy.

As much as I liked the woman and felt a connection to her, I really wished that she would keep her nose out of my business. Just because she was uncomfortable in the cage didn't mean that I was.

"Will she be safe?" asked Rip as he looked between me and the woman. Inside, I was screaming at him for even asking the question.

I was more than safe inside of it.

If he was that concerned, he could just leave me here, and it would be all good.
