The threat- Part 2

Areo jumped on the bed, swishing its tail and Katie picked it up in her arms with a smile.

"Aren't you the cutest thing," she said scratching its head to earn another meow, "I wish even I was a cat."

She played with him as he tried biting her finger softly making her laugh. Areo was definitely the cutest black cat she had ever met until now.

"You're very fond of the cat."

Hearing the sudden voice, she jumped clutching her hand on her chest.

"Malphus!" one of these days he was going to give her a heart attack, "Didn't you say you were going to visit someplace?"

"I did," he said as the cat tilted its head towards him. Apparently Areo could see the dead man unlike the other people in the mansion, "But the city has been demolished to a barren land. I will have to search all over the place now."

"This one's always around you," he commented looking at the cat, "It seems like its master has left it to look after you when he isn't around."

His words turned her neck red.
