"Absurd!" Warren laughed. "Cat ears? A TAIL???!!!" he glanced at his little girl, eyes widened. "HOLY $^&@%!!!"
Circe's eyes watered hearing that cruel word. "Warren!" she was hurt. Macy eyed her boyfriend and raised an eyebrow. "Warren..." she warned.
Circe devoured her special breakfast, put on her warmwear, and went outside to play in the snow. What was the big deal anyway? So she was part kitty. Circe thought this was cooler than ice; she did not see the problem. She started building the Super Snow Fantastic Fort she had been dreaming and longing of building for a year when a beautiful angel flew down from above, her sunshine bright halo floating atop her head, her large white feathery angel wings spread out for the full wing span.
The warm sapphire eyes gleamed at Circe. "Hello, Circe. Do you know who I am?" she asked. Circe pointed at the angel, noticing that she was a kitty angel.
"You're a kitty!" she giggled. The angel sighed, her hair like ribbons of flowing moonlight. Her cheeks were pink like roses fresh from the garden.
"Dearest, the correct term is BAKENEKO. Did you know that?" the angel moved her sunset pink lips. "And um...I am your mother." the angel admitted as her long strapless dress blended in with the snow. "Circe, I lost you when you were an infant. Kidnappers took you from me in the Marketplace. I was hiding you in a basket but they were swift, and I forgot all that your father had told me and stuck my hand in to make sure you were OK. They snatched you away from me but lost YOU, too, and once a bakeneko baby is lost, they go to the normal land in search for people who will never lose you. You're growing up. At age 20, you'll be a full bakeneko, like me...but not the angel part. The kidnappers had killed me." Circe's eyes twinkled in amusement.
"I orphan?" Circe pondered to the angel.
"Father is alive--you must find him. No normal child shall EVER see you in Neko form, nor Bakeneko."
