Episode Four

Besides working at the college photography club part time as their model, I also work at a flower shop on the other side of town. Mrs. Bunker needed help because she was getting too old to do floral arrangements and big orders so she hired me to do them.

It wasn't bad, I got to see cute couples or shy men walk in to buy flowers for their loved ones. Or people coming in to buy 'Forget-Me-Not' flowers for funerals.

Weddings were a tough one though because the pressure from the brides and bridals family were on a whole other level. If they weren't satisfied I had to redo everything, but I would donate the already made bouquets to anyone that looks like they need one.

"Mrs. Bunker?" I asked as I opened the stores front door, immediately seeing Mrs. Bunker on her rocking chair by the window.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Bunker," I greeted her and she nodded her head along as her chair moved in a smooth rhythm. I walked in the back, pulling on a apron and dropping my skateboard to the side.

I came out and started watering the flowers, the hydrangeas were my favorite, they were so beautiful. I sighed as I saw that the baby breath started withering. I should make a bouquet out of them before they completely wither.

I finished my chores and as usual, the day was pretty slow. My headache started to ease throughout the day though. I took out the trash and came back inside, picked up my skateboard and closed the store up. Mrs. Bunker already retired for the night in the 2nd floor of the building.

While I was in the middle of riding my skate board, I lost my balance and fell into an alleyway, my skateboard slid under a dumpster.

I tried sitting up, but I couldn't. I looked down at my hand... hand... white paws? What the heck?! Am I dreaming right now?! Please tell me this is a dream! Please tell me I am Imagining this!

Yes, this has to be a dream! But the pain from my fall was still there.

"There young master is! Quick, catch him before he runs away!" A man in a black suit yelled as he came running towards me. I got startled and started to run too.

Why are men dressed as gangsters chasing me?! I ran through alleyways and hid behind a dumpster when I ran into a dead end.

I tried quieting my breathing so they wouldn't find me, I felt like I was in a nightmare! What are they gonna do when they find me?! Are they gonna eat me?!

"Leo," A deep commanding voice called out. The voice was unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. Right after hearing the mans voice, a purr erupted from a chest, exposing my position.

Suddenly I was picked up and held in someones strong arms. I was too shocked to react and grabbed ahold of the persons shirt with my claws.
