*punctuation and capitalisation slow me down so im ignoring them*

i awoke with a start, a tiny gasp escaping my lips as i sat straight up and looked around startled. nothing was out of place. the wind rusted the sheer curtains a bit, bring in an unexpected cool breeze that blew across my bare skin. i threw back the sheets and heard a muffled yowl from somewhere in the abyss of blankets.

"Luci you silly kitten, come out of there", i whispered as i unravelled her soft ginger form from the black faux fur blanket covering most of the bed, and held her in my arms as she purred contentedly. Luci had been my companion for just a few months but she acted like we'd been friends forever. often content to just lick my face when i ididnt feel up to getting out of bed. i couldnt imagine life without her and am always glad i rescued her from the humane society that july.

i set her down on the floor and she mewed in protest as i walked toward the window. the latch was as cool as the floor was and made me shudder at the thought of how cold it would be when i went outside next. i threw on a robe and flicked on the bathroom light, completely unprepared to meet the horror i knew id see in the mirror.
avoiding the shock, i turned on the hot faucet and wiped the sleep from my eyes. looking into the mirror, a giggle escaped my lips as i realised that jarret was right whe he said that if i was a cat, id look exactly like Luci. i saw my own bright green eyes reflected back at me and my strawberry hair messed up as usual.

*sorry its so choppy and short....more to come later*
