The warmth of the sun rays creeping through her curtains awoke Mercedes the next morning. She tried to close her eyes tighter and go back to sleep but just as she was about to drift off a soft mass jumped on her bed a soft black furry face nuzzled her face and made a purring sound. " ok ok blue, I'm getting up" laughed Mercedes and gave her cat a cuddle. She got up and started getting ready for the day ahead, excited at the though that today was her last day of college. In September she'd start Uni and move out from the traffic of London to the seaside air of the town of Southport, just as she was finishing fixing her long hair she had the weirdest feeling of being watched, she turned towards the window and saw blue standing in a defensive pose staring at the window, his dark fur on edge and he made a hissing noise. The she heard it. The same evil cackle from her dream. Her chocolate skin turned to goosebumps and her eyes widened, she tentatively walked towards the window but didn't see anything out of the ordinary, the back garden looked innocuous with it rose bushes glittering in the soft early June sun. The laugh seemed to mock her, she turned around and felt it all around her and then it stopped as suddenly as it had begun. Blue walked towards Mercedes and rubbed itself on her legs, she took comfort from that and waited for her heart to slow down to normal rhythm, trying to understand what had just happened. Maybe it was all in her head, the nightmare still fresh on her mind but then if that was it, why had blue acted so strangely?
