Here we go again!

"That test was easier than I expected." Astra stretched as they left the class, along with her friends,

"Yeah, I guess," Juno muttered,

"Enough with the small talk!" Dawn interrupted walking up to Astra to look her in the face,

"Where were you really?"

Astra looked to the side nervously, unable to tell it to her face,

"I have no idea what you're talking about, I told you I had to take care of something,"

"Dawn, let's lay off it," Juno said trying to calm everyone down,

"It's one time so it shouldn't be that big of a deal,"

Dawn sighed, backing up from Astra,

"You're right,"

"Sorry Astra," Dawn looked towards the spot where Astra had been standing, but her face filled with shock as she realized what had happened.

"Where did she go??"

Juno directed Dawn's attention down the hallway

"What?" She muttered as she caught sight of Astra sprinting towards the school gates.

"Hey! Where are you going??" Dawn shouted,

"School isn't over yet!" but her words fell on deaf ears as Astra got further and further away,

'gotta get home gotta get home,' She thought to herself continuously as she ran, trying to get home before something bad happened.

"Oi! Get back here with that!"

Astra heard someone shouting in the distance,

'Don't tell me,' She thought as she continued to run down her neighborhood road to her house.

"Hey, little girl! Stop that cat!"

When she got close enough she saw a man chasing a cat in the opposite direction holding a car windsheild wiper, its emerald eyes and black and white fur stood out as familiar to her.

Astra stood in front of the feline, kneeling to grab it the moment it got close enough,

"Thank you miss," The man said, picking up what the cub had stolen, before leaving,

"What are you, some kind of dog?" Astra muttered as she got up from the ground, placing the cub in her backpack,

"We're going back home-" Hearing this the cub struggled to get out, soon relaxing as Astra started to walk,

"Seriously, I think I accidentally took the wrong cub," She sighed,

As the two of them headed home,

_______

"What am I going to do with you," She muttered as she played with the cub with a string on her bed,

'The watch hasn't been active since yesterday,'

'Maybe it's out of batteries?' Astra thought,

'What kind of batteries does this thing even use,'

the cat continued to play with the string but stopped in alert hearing something downstairs,

Ding Dong, Ding Dong,

The doorbell rang,

"Imma see who that is, Stay here for a minute, ok?" Astra told the cat, petting it lightly on the head before leaving,

"How long is she gonna take," Dawn muttered, she and Juno stood outside waiting for Astra to open the door,

"Maybe we should give her some space-" Juno said as he started to walk away,

Dawn grabbed him by the collar and almost immediately he gave up all attempts to leave,

"Can I help you?" The door opens and Astra peeks from the cracks,

"It's us," Dawn muttered,

"Sorry but now isn't a good time to-" Astra tried to explain but Dawn wasn't listening she pushed the door,

"Just let me in already? Why did you leave school early? What's going on?"

Astra pushed back trying to shut the door,

"Nothing is I just had to do something I only came to school for the test!"

"What is this something, Astra you could tell me anything,"

"I know that!" Astra shouted but it was to no avail, The door opened and Astra fell over along with Dawn.

Astra tried to get up and noticed something glowing, a light cyan color,

'Damn it not now!' She thought,

"You alright?" Juno helped her up from the ground only to be pushed away by her and locked in her room,

"This is bad, this is bad," Astra muttered,

"How do I explain this?"

The cub turned its head in confusion, not knowing the reason for Astra's panic session,

Astra looks down at the watch as the timer counts down once more,

A light bright enough flashed the whole house and soon, there was silence.
