❅ Forbidden Fountain

As her screams faded, a dark silhouette stood in front of the fountain.

A deep, loathing voice spoke, "You'll taste how it feels to be a pet, human girl. I'll catch up with you later." he laughed evilly. His tail swayed together with his chuckles.

His silhouette disappeared, leaving no trace of him as if nothing happened at the peaceful place.

Meanwhile...

When the strong current brought her nowhere, in her exhaustion she to stop moving her frail arms and kicking her legs, letting her body carry with the waves to the surface. Surprisingly, the waves carries her above the surface. She takes the opportunity to gasp in air, in success.

The brightness of the sun beamed down at her when a shadow covered her figure, which makes her to take a glimpse to see an old gigantic statue resembled with three heads of a cat. Its mouth opened widely with water coming out from the inside. Its eyes were gold as the sun, shining at her.

A pair of strong arms lifted her from the water. Fear arose through her veins and her mind. Water fills her nose again, making her choke again; whoever disrupts my peace pays her wrath. The grip lessened on her as her back hit to the ground, which makes her gasps in pain.

A handsome man with silver ears and silver tail appeared in her vision, looking at her with pale cold golden eyes.

"Who's in Lynkia, brought a human in my bath!" he shouted at the guards angrily.

Lina froze.

She takes a glance at her surroundings. She found herself in a lake with falls below the gigantic cat statue. She didn't know how she gets here. But it's freaking her out.

And the man, who saved her was naked. For Pete's sake, he's really naked.

Lina screamed, struggling herself away from his grasp. She tried to divert her eyes away from its inappropriate sight.

Several of men dressed in black barged out from the shadows. Unbelievedly, all of them had cat ears and tails. Lina thought if she was in a dream or not.

Another masculine voice interrupted them. Okay, Lina feeling like going to die in fangirling with this weird accents.

"You're Highness, please quell your anger. We don't know how this stray human reaches here. We never seen anyone crossed the borders" he reached out to grab her, making her wiggle away more.

"L-Let me go! You bastard! " she try to pull away from him and struggle on her might. But that guy is incredibly strong.

"Take this brat on the human shelter." The handsome man with silver fur, that so-called, Highness ordered him. Everyone thought of her that he was a child that had escaped from the shelter.

"No, you're not taking me anywhere! I wanna go home!" Lina twist around and look both of them in bewilderment. She tried to bite the arm of the male, making the guard flinched back though it made her fall out from the ground.

"Don't let it get away." His highness yelled at the guards. She scurried away from them and run to the woods.

"Owh!" Lina tripped and whimpered in tears. She got so many bruises this day. Her sides where burning from hitting the rocks in her way to this to-knows-where she is in this place. However, her robe falls out from her shoulder without her notice, while she was about to run.

Gasps were heard from behind her, when she turned around, she realized she was surrounded by the guards and also, the highness looking at her in an astonished gaze.

When she took another step to run, but only tripped by her robe, making her fall on the ground again, leaving her in a miserable state.

She cursed for her clumsiness.

She was dripping wet, no scratch that her clothes were. One part of her sleeveless shirt fell on its sides of her shoulder, and apart from that, her pale smooth belly skin was shown as her shirt lifted abit from the fall. And she's felt thirst on her throat, making her breathe heavily. Her chest rises up and down because of it. She didn't realize she was placed in an awkward position.

Lina felt their eyes on her, realization dawned to her, she wasn't even wearing a bra. So, her breast can be seen through their perverting gaze. She doesn't want to know what's going on their minds, but the guards could feel themselves, blushing and getting red in faint shade.

His Highness who's the first one to speak, changing his mind and told the guards to bring her at the palace.

Lina flinched when another pair of arms lifted her from the ground.

"Bring her to the palace and place her to my chambers." The silver cat ordered with a calm gaze on her.

"But sir, she's-" the guard cat wanted to refuse for his highness safety.

"No, Buts. Take her now!" the guard lifted the girl gently, and covering her body with the robe and bring her to the palace.

Lina hissed, she wanted to tell him she can walk by herself. But the stern gaze was given her to shut her up. He gripped her tighter, making sure she wasn't going to get away again.

She was surprisingly behaving once for awhile.

His steps were smooth and fast. It was like an expert assassin that had been trained. Or, perhaps he was.

The caress her naked waist finally brought back to the present. It's fingers circling the skin softly. It was making her uncomfortable. She blinked when she found him, looking at her intently. His brown ears perked up slightly which was adorable.

In shyness, she moved her eyes away from his face, her eyes widened in surprise when seeing a huge palace in front of her and number of men dressed in dark colors with strange patterns on their uniforms, plus all of them had cat ears and tails with different color except they don't have silver fur as the highness cat and black fur of the man she met in the real world. They were holding swords and knives, and guard the palace surrounding it. Some were standing the gate and near all the boundary walls.

It was a huge like five-story building made up of sturdy bricks, mostly were gold with decorated glass and marbles. Overgrown grass and trees surrounding it. She gasped. She had never seen estates in her life.

So the silver cat owns this? What is he? A cat prince? Or, a cat king? She thought to herself.She stared at the silver cat who's now already in his white robes. At least, he's not naked anymore. She said thoughtly.

When she was brought inside, the man dressed in black with cat ears, bowed down in front of him, no one dared to look at her.

On seeing him, waved his hand. Every man who bowed down as a sign of respect stood and dismissed them, where three of them were left on the palace, locking the gigantic doors behind them with a thud sound.

The palace guard, put her down on the floor gently when they reached on the chambers.The silver cat flicked his finger making the palace guard dismiss out from his sight.

Leaving them both alone.

Uhm hello, what about my clothes? I'm still wet here. Lina wanted to scream at him though she decided to stay quiet.

When the door shut, the silver cat walked towards her and spoke, "For intruding my bath, which is highly restricted. You will be now my pet."

Lina gasped and glared at him.
