Chapter 13

All of us watched the kitten closely and waited. The kitten got up slowly and sniffed the food and water , it took a bite out of the tuna hesitantly but once the kitten ate the first bite of food, it was as if something clicked in it's brain and it took another bite and another and another.

I finally released a breath I didn't realize I was holding and a huge smile appeared on my face. I turned to my friends and I saw that they were smiling too. Alec came to me and pulled me into a hug and I was too happy too question it.

After we broke a part all of the rest came and hugged me . " Claire , you just saved a kitten." Asher exclaimed. "Yeah you just did , Claire bear ." Adam agreed with him and nodded as did the others . I smiled at them then shook my head" Thank you guys, but I didn't save it alone, we all did. And I'm sorry that I snapped at you guys , I was just so scared that the kitten won't make it. Not that that is an excuse but , can you forgive me?" I apologized and looked at them with a guilty look on my face. "Girl , you just saved a kitten from freezing to death, only an idiot wouldn't forgive you. Isn't that right guys?" Ari said , all of the guys nodded . "Yep that's right." Alec said.

I sighed and sat back down next to the kitten and the others followed in my suit and sat sown around the us. I watched the kitten eat when I noticed that it had drunk all of of the water so I poured some more in the cup. The kitten flinched and it broke my heart , but the kitten went back to eating .

"So what are we going to do with it?" Adam asked . "Well one of us is going to take it, but who?" Asher said . "I would love to take but my mom is allergic yo furry animals." Ari said, " My sister doesn't need anymore responsibility." Adam said.

"I'll take it." I said , "Are you sure, wouldn't your aunt mind?" Alec asked me. I nodded "I found it I should be the one to take care of it . And I doubt aunt Vivi would mind, I know that loves animals and that she had a kitten growing up. She would love this little kitten. " I said , "Okay then it's decided, what are you going to name it though?" Ari asked. "Well I 'll have to see if it's a boy or girl , then I'll decide. But I'm very particular about names so it will take me a bit to decided. " I said. "it's a boy." Adam announced . I checked the kitten without disturbing it and confirmed that it's a boy.

"Well I guess you better start coming up with names." Ari said. I nodded then went back to watching the kitten.

"Ah what a day, we went from trying to explain math to Adam to saving a little kitten." Asher exclaimed . "Hey not funny ." Adam objected and Asher raised his hands in defense "Just telling the truth.." he said in a teasing way. Adam glared at him and I just bursted out laughing. "Claire , how dare you betray me . " Adam said with a hand over his heart. I just looked at him with a smile and said" Okay mister dramatic." Adam glared at me then shook his head and said"traitor", but you can hear the humorous undertone in his voice.

I noticed that the kitten finished eating and he curled into himself . I looked a bit closer and saw that he had fallen asleep ."Guys he fell asleep." I whispered , everyone looked at him ," Awwww, he is adorable ." Ari cooed .

"I have to leave , before it gets too dark and cold for this little guy." I said and carefully picked up the kitten and wrapping it in jacket. He stirred a bit but didn't wake up, so I picked the rest of my stuff. Alec got up with me,"I'll take you, you shouldn't walk around while the kitten is with you . He may get cold." He said. "Ok sure." I said since the kitten comes first and don't him to be cold.

"See you later guys." I said , Alec did the same and we left.

....................

Alec drove in silence and I was glad since right then all I needed was quietness . After a bit we reached the house and Alec parked outside. I was about to unbuckle my seat my Alec started talking. "Listen Claire, I'm sorry for how I acted when we first met. I had so much anger in me and I took it out on the wrong person . Please forgive me." Alec begged me. I looked at him then sighed, "It's okay Alec . Sometimes our ranger gets the better the of us, but that isn't an excuse. If you do it again I wont forgive and forget , okay?" I said. He nodded and smile at me, "Friends?" he asked . "Friends." I said with a smile.

I opened the car door and before I stepped out I said "See you later Alec." ,"See you later Claire.' He said with smile. And with that I left the car and went to my home.

..............

I opened the door and entered the house. I put my stuff at the entrance but kept the kitten close to me. I looked for my aunt in the kitchen and living room and when I didn't see her I yelled " Auntie are you here?" After I yelled I heard foot steps coming from upstairs. I waited for a bit at the stairs and not a couple seconds later aunt Vivi was on the stairs.

"Claire what is i- " she started to say but then she noticed the kitten in my arms, "You have a cat with you ." she said when she reached me. "Yeah auntie I'm sorry but my friends and I found it and I couldn't leave it alone." I said. "It's okay Claire, come on let's sit down then you can tell me the full story, okay?" she said. I nodded , she said said okay and went to the living room. I followed her and started telling her what happened.

..................

"Wow Claire, you are a hero." Auntie said, "Thank you auntie. So can I keep him?" I asked and gave her my puppy dog eyes. She smiled at me then said, "Sure but he is you responsibility . I'll pay for his medical bills and food but everything else is your responsibility , okay?" she said, I nodded, "Thank you auntie, you won't regret it . " I said and kissed her cheek carefully since I'm still holding the kitten."I know I won't . Now go to your room and set up a space for the kitten to sleep. Tomorrow we'll go and get him stuff." Auntie said, I nodded then went and got my stuff from the door then went to my room.

...

I changed my clothes and prepared a space for the kitten to sleep but I just laid on my bed with him sleeping on me , thinking about names fro him. But just none of the things I thought about fit him. Suddenly a name came to my mind and I knew that was just his name.

"Felix , your name is Felix. You are my little lucky one."
