I Was Summoned
Dragged into existence by too much coffee, unfulfilled dreams, and a desperate need for chaos wrapped in fur.
One day, I simply appeared.
Walked into Leigh’s life like I owned the place—because I did.
The house. The desk. The bed.
Her.
She didn’t choose me. She couldn’t.
I’m not a pet. I’m a presence. A consequence. A contract signed in ink, blood, and a soft meow that belied the ancient power behind my eyes.
At night, I watch.
The things that try to cross the veil know better now—I wait in the corners, still as death, eyes glowing like embers. Let them try. I dare them.
By day, I plot.
I sit beside Leigh, tail twitching as she writes. I whisper things she pretends not to hear—dark things, beautiful things. We shape stories like spells, stitched together with grief, magic, and sharp edges.
She thinks she’s in charge.
That’s adorable.
But the truth is this:
She writes because I let her.
She creates because I guard the door.
And when she forgets what she’s capable of, I remind her—with a claw, a glare, or a gentle thump of judgment as I stretch across her laptop.
So no, I wasn’t born.
I arrived—because she needed me, whether she knew it or not.
And now?
I’m not going anywhere.
