On the top floor of a large house, at the foot of a large four-poster bed, a small grey cat is curled nose-to-tail; it is watching over its peacefully slumbering mistress, protecting her from the terrors stalking the night. Moonlight streams through a gap in curtains covering wide, open windows, casting a soft glow over both girl and guard.

The cat’s charge continues to sleep until, still in the thrall of her dream, she begins to toss and turn, disturbing her miniature protector. It tries to stabilize itself, but is thrown to the ground by its mistresses’ movements. On the floor, the tiny feline tenses and shifts, hissing at the malevolent shadows lurking in the corners of the room. Gradually, the terrors retreat from its fury; the girl settles. The protector meows its triumph and vacates the room through the large window, its task completed - for tonight, at least.

You're stories are great. They make me want to read the rest until I find out there is none. So, I like your stories. but they're too short T.T become an author so I can buy all your books! *crazy stalker eye twitch* (I'm just kidding...about the stalker part anyway)

@commander oblivious: cat's don't hate everybody, in fact, most are very sweet. second, you have to read her other story for this to make sense. trust me, it does. *nods*

this is pretty short...it is most definitely classed as 'microfiction', lol! smile it's still good all the same.

Wha...? The kitty is her protector?
I thought cats hated everybody...
I would enjoy it if you were to add on to this and tell us why the kitty is the girl's protector, what it's doing, and why she needs protecting...-nudgenudge- Moarplz?

Very cool, but short. It felt kind of like a haiku to read. It's nice break from the sea of terrible writing! xP
