A Case of Double Murder

Rain poured outside a small and dank basement flat. A young boy was sitting on a brown couch with a long-haired black cat lying on another small couch. It happily purred to itself and stared at his company with it's golden round eyes. The boy was feeling scared of the cat since he was alone with it in the house. He was suddenly jealous of the cat. It hadn't a care in the world meanwhile he was abused by his parents. His father would hit him with a long wooden stick. He turned his head to spot the hard stick on the wall and a thought flowed into his mind.

The plump cat grew sleepy and started to curl up with it's tail covering it's eyes. The boy stood up and creeped over to the stick and grabbed it. Slowly he raised the stick and struck the raven-black cat by the shoulder and sickly grinned. The cat wailed as pain shot through it, with it's pelt sticking out in fear and alarm. It dodgeed the boy's leg and disappears under the couch in a The boy felt a strong urge to keep on hurting this furball. He crouched down to see in the dusty underneath of the couch was the terrified cat. It's eyes were wide with shock. He rammed the pointed stick into the cat's flank. It squealed in terror and bolted for a half-closed door about a few metre away from the boy.


The boy ran and slammed the door thinking the cat would bang into the door and be trapped in the room with him but a loud crack noise echoed in the small room. The cat choked and went limp. The boy froze at the sight of the cat. It had been crushed by the door. Blood welled out of it's mouth and pooled around it. The cat twitched and gasped for breath but nothing was there. It's sides heaved and suddenly stopped breathing. It was dead.

The Boy cried as the cat's blood slowly drained out of it's body. The blood was coming from a bone sticking out of it's broken flank. The boy ran and returned with a spade and scooped the body up and stalked out into the hall and shoved the body into a understairs cupboard. He cleaned up the blood and acted like the cat had simply ran into the rain.

Years pass by and nothing different happened until a purring noise was heard. It grew and grew over the months.

One stormy night when the Boy was all alone once more a cat padded out of it's very old hiding place. Thunder induced within it's paws with every step. The boy freezes as a crawling shadow creeps over the room. The black figure of a cat stands in the same doorway as it once died. The boy stared into it's lifeless golden eyes. For wait felt like a eternty went past the events so many years ago. The cat's side bleed harshly with a rib sticking slightly poking out. It's eyes glowed in the mid-dark room.

The cat crouched and set it's eyes and fury ablaze. It pelted across the floor and jumped into the air with it's claw's unsheared. The boy tried to move but terror made him stay in the cats way. Claws ripped through the boys side as pain surged into the boy's body. The cat landed prefectly on it's feet and looked over it's shoulder. The boy fell to his knees in weakness. The cat slowly limped over to the doorway and collapsed as a small crack noise rumbled through the cat. For the last time the cat died and entered darkness forever, leaving it's prison of a corpse. As for the boy, he copied the black cat and collapsed. Blood welled out of the terrible deep wound. He felt wozzy and shuddered. Breath was far away from him. The boy tried to cling onto life but it dissapeared and vanished.
