A parent's grief- Part 1

She blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't imagining but did the small adorable cat transform to a panther that was sitting on top of her?! She didn't know if it was because of lack of sleep and food but to make sure she wasn't dreaming, the animal pawed at her playfully which came more like a threat to her. 

Oh God thought Penny to herself. Forget about getting killed by a vampire or a black witch. She was going to die by the paws of a panther!

Hearing the animal purr didn't make it anything less difficult. There was no maid and the butler had gone in with the teacup. 

"What an intelligent cat," Penny praised the panther who purred, coming close to her face and rubbing his own face on the side of her cheeks as any small cat would. But the problem here was that this was no small cat but a bigger version of a cat, "You had to turn and scare me right after the butler left, huh," she commented to have the panther lick her face. This made her giggle.
