Adventures of Klowee & Aura

Klowee laid on the rug at the entrance of the house. The door, mostly made of tempered glass, welcomed the sun in and it lit up the door way.

Klowee bathed in the light. Her very existence called for a trumpeting band, her theme music was always something grand. She laid in the light. 

But her fur resembled the night. Black. Crisp. Sheen. Her tuxedo looked liked what mints taste like. Fresh. She was always clean. Pristine, white toes pranced like stars flickering in the night. 

Her eyes gently closing for her first afternoon nap when all of a sudden she heard a step from the other room. Not one of the humans. She sighed. It was Aura.

Aura took bold steps. Her dwarfed legs caused her to be slightly smaller than most cats but every paw step was like thunder striking a cloud. Her paws printed white because it ran out of ( color of aura?)_ ink. Hazy lightning coming down from her black spine. She made her way across the island kitchen to where the front door was. she spoke with a haitian woman's accent, "You know i can feel the disappointment you get when you hear my steps without even using my powers. why are you so mean?"

Klowee doesn't respond.

Aura continues as she trots through the hallway "you know, i dont very much like you  either. Your energy is too icy and dark for my liking. But I've grown to like your human too." She stops at the wall across the room from where Klowee is and sits curling her tail around her body, "This is a safe distance from your en-" Aura  goes silent. 

Klowee's ear twitches. Then raises her head looking intently up toward the ceiling. 

Aura is already looking at the same spot, her tail is now flaring around her and she in attack mode, ready to pounce. 

all of a sudden a dark orb zapped into the space where the two cats had been looking, they hissed and arched toward the orb. The orb began to spin violently causing ominous clouds and thunder to form around it. The cats hiss and a swarm of flies exploded out into the house. an endless stream of black poured into the living room floor. Both the cats leapt into the air striking a few of the flies, killing them on impact, but was soon overwhelmed by the amount. 

"We have to warn the humans!" Aura meowed and dashed into the room where one of the humans slept. Klowee followed but it was too late. the flies had joined together to form giant hands and had grabbed the two women. The screams of the women were muffled by the beating wings of the flies. The two large hands of flies traveled back to the spinning orb. It gaped open wider and the flies poured back in and zipped shut. 

Both the cats were wide eyed and speechless. They ran into each room and only saw a few dead flies littered around. 

Klowee finally broke the silence, "Why weren't we taken?"

"I shifted our auras so they wouldn't notice us right before they came out," Aura responded. "Before you ask, I protected you because the aura that came from the orb is more than I can manage on my own. If I had to choose I'd trade you for the humans in an instant. But I know your human wouldn't like that very much... but more importantly I think they were looking for you."

Klowee sniffed and listened for her familiar. He hadnt come home yet. She let out a sigh. "Thank you." 

"Do,  you know why," Aura asked.

Klowee walked back to the rug in front of the door. She noticed a few dead flies on it and flicked them away with her paw. She turned to Aura and sat and began licking her paw.

"Why must you be so dramatic."

Klowee stopped mid licked and looked at Aura. Then continued. 

"We are running out of time!"

"You are a bit younger so, you dont know as much. Your powers are great but you have much to learn. Dont let them be so great you let them overshadow you."

"Dont Lec-"

Klowee continued calmly interrupting, "They are in the shadow realm. I can get us there but at a cost. First we must wait until my familiar gets here." Then continued licking her paw.

Aura watched her silently. 

Klowee sighed. "The bulk of my powers originate from the shadow realm. The aura you feel on me, is really from there. They are searching for me because they want to use my powers. But I-" Klowee lets out a hack but nothing comes out. 

"I see..." Aura responds. "You dont speak because your words are limited. But why?"

"Klowee struggled to let out "Listen." Her eyes began to glow purple and green and in an instant Aura's eyes began to glow the same color. after a few moments Klowee shut her eyes and Aura's eyes returned to normal.

"Oh... I didnt know...
