Echoes from the past (P)

[Jane]

Ariel was enjoying a scrawny mouse. Even if it was not that much it was a bit delicious. Ariel soon finished her meal and stood up. She yawned revealing small thorn-sharp teeth. She sighed.

But soon she caught the scent of a cat. A really falimular scent. "Hello? Who's there?"

Castiel was not seeking to stalk his sister like Michael had planned to.

He believed it would be best to talk to Ariel directly. So after meeting up with Azrael, he had gone out to search for Ariel. He'd found her feasting on a mouse. As he approached, she noticed him and called out.

"Ariel. It's Castiel." He called back, coming into view. He sat down. "Have you spoken to Azrael, yet?"

[Jane]

Ariel looked at the tom. "Castiel! What are you doing here?" The brown and white tabby exclaimed. 

"Azrael no, I have not seen her around yet." Ariel replied. "But I have seen Michael though."

[Deleted]

Castiel sighed.

"To answer your question, our parents requested I do for you, what they asked Michael to do for Azrael." He flattened his ears. "They asked Michael to watch over Azrael. However, he's taken to stalking her without approaching her. I will not be doing the same for you. I will give you space. I simply offer my assistance for whenever you desire it, or if you are in fatal danger."

He cocked his head. "Is this acceptable? I will... Mind my own business... Unless you call or if you are in danger of dying."

[Jane]

Ariel flattened her ears against her head. Her neck fur started to bristle. "I've already told Michael this! I don't need anyone to take care of me! I'm perfectly fine on my own!" She snapped hissing.

"I'm not weak and helpless like a newborn kit!" Ariel growled. Why did mom and dad send him after me!

Castiel thought Ariel was getting angry for no reason.

He flattened his ears. "I have just told you I will give you space to do as you wish unless you're in legitimate danger of dying or if you request my help." His blue eyes locked with Ariel's. "I am aware you are capable. That is why I am not stalking you as Michael would."

[Jane]

Ariel sighed and looked down at her paws. She did not think that she would need Castiel's help. Ariel looked at her older brother again.

"Fine!" The brown and white tabby snapped twitching her tail. She did not really like the idea but as long as Castiel was not stalking her like she was a piece of prey waiting to be caught, she was fine.

Castiel sighed.

There was not a single one of his siblings who weren't difficult. Though, Ariel was definitely one of the more difficult ones. He sighed.

"As long as you understand." He meowed simply.

[Jane]

Ariel's tail tip twitched

She had nothing really else to say. "So..." She started. "Have you met anyone yet?" The brown and white tabby asked.

She waited for Castiel to answer her questions. Her ears were pricked up wit interest.

[Deleted]

Castiel's ears folded back.

"... Yes." He cocked his head. "There was a female myself and Michael encountered." He seemed to ponder something quickly, before continuing on. "Michael would not be happy if I were to tell you the outcome. Would you like to hear it?" He offered.

[Jane]

Ariel's ears pricked up with interest.

"I'm all ears!" She chirped. Ariel really wanted to hear what happened. One reason was that it must be something Michael did not really enjoy. The other reason was that it must be intresting.

[Deleted]

Castiel had a ghost of smile.

He began to tell his story. "When I had first met Michael again after arriving in Deathclan, one of his ears were damaged. I was led to Michael through the aid of the female." He paused. "The female that I spoke of just a moment ago. Michael appeared to have met her before. According to her, he was... Rather rude and she attacked him. I assume it was a rather severe transgression. She did not exude a warm demeanor... But she did not appear to be overly aggressive. However, my appearance with her caused Michael to jump to some... Unsavory conclusions that proved to be not beneficial for his health." He paused and locked eyes with Ariel.

"She damaged his other ear. I do hope Michael has the sense to avoid her, lest she take an eye next."

[Jane]

Ariel stared.

Michael beaten by a she-cat, it was not really surprising since she knew how Michael usually acted. Ariel's neck fur bristled and her claws unsheathed and sheathed. "If I see that she-cat around, I'll make sure to teach her a lession!"

[Deleted]

Castiel noticed Ariel's reaction was vastly different from Azrael's.

However, he did not approve of Ariel starting fights. "Ariel, stop." He sighed. "I was not witness to the first incident, but the second Michael attacked first." Azrael had been merely amused, but Ariel instantly was jumping to Michael's defense. Further, he didn't think it was wise for Ariel to attack a much older cat.

[Jane]

Ariel turned away.

She did not want to talk with her brother anymore. She looked over her shoulder and glared at her older brother. Ariel stayed silent.
