Eve shook her head. "Honestly. If you want to know what my first thought really was…" She hesitated. "You're different."

Eve shook her head. "Honestly. If you want to know what my first thought really was…" She hesitated. "You're different."

"Different as in… I don't think I've ever met anyone like you before," she answered honestly.
group
Eve shook her head. "That isn't entirely what I meant. It wasn't just your appearance. It was… your whole demeanor."
group
Eve lowered her eyes. "I never thought my life would come to this. Afraid to go out in public because…" Tentatively, she looked back over at the men. The four of them were still staring at her. She quickly looked away again. "Because of people like them," she finished. "That's why I have to take the attention away from me, somewhat."
group
Eve's eyes widened. "You're… You're not going to, are you? I mean, I don't like them any more than you do, but…"
group
Eve breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Thank you. I'm quite glad to hear that you've never even tried."
group
"I don't know," she quipped thoughtfully. "I've never needed a soul before." Because technically, I have two.
group
"Very true," Eve murmured. "I suppose I should be going soon. I have my plants to tend to and people to avoid."
group
Eve chuckled. "Well, that's alright. My plants are my vice. I care for them, which cares for me. I'll see you later?" She wiggled her fingers in a wave and left. Immediately, the four men in the corner who had been staring at Eve the entire duration of her stay all stood up and headed toward the door to follow her.

"Eve! A minute!" one of them called out to her.
"No, sir," Eve replied, not stopping.
"Please, Eve!" another one called.
Eve turned on her heel. "If you'd like a chance with me, you'll have to get the key to my house from my cat. Until then, buzz off!" She turned and left.
With the news out, it spread around the town like wildfire.
group
Moments after Eve disappeared, a black cat strolled through the town.
"There it is!"
"The cat!"
"The key!"
The cat was soon being chased around the town. Its eyes flashed with fear, but no matter how hard the people tried, no one could catch her.
group
The black cat darted down an alley and hid inside a dumpster until the horde of people looking for her disbanded.
group
The cat leapt out and padded further down the alley where no one would see her.
group
The cat's wide eyes studied the creature, and she tilted her head curiously.
group
The cat slowly backtracked, her wide eyes and sleek fur making her stick out as a domestic feline.
"Got an owner? You should run back to them before I make you unable t-" She is cut off by the cat you recognize as Bladee coming from the shadows and confronting the cat verbally attacking Eve..
"Cmon Lalue, what happened to 'happiness' and 'we can make them happpy'?" He responded to Lalue's outrage amused.
"Not my fault she woke me up" She mumbled in response.
