-Smuggled.

Neve POV.

I don’t know how old I really am, I just learned how to talk, but I know that I was raised in a cage, the ones who took care of me were humans, not nice ones, they don’t like me, they told me so, they forget to feed me, they don’t change me enough, and I feel sick more days, I spend most of my days sleeping due to the medication they give me to keep me asleep.

I haven’t introduced myself yet, I’m Neve, I’m a kitten, a Neko, I’m half kitten half-human, I have a human body just add to it cat ears and tail and me being more prone to act like the kitten I am. My hair is long and brown, it always hurt when they brush it for me, but they said that having long hair would get them more money, I have to look pretty for them, even if it hurt.

My ears and tail are platinum blond, they aren’t bleacher but that’s how I was born, I have blue eyes, and fair skin, my captors say I’m beautiful, I’ll sell for a pretty penny. I’m not mad they said they want to sell me, I don’t like them, I like someone to take care of me and love me, although I was always living in the cage with them as my only care providers and parents, they told me about other kittens.

They told me the other kittens live happily with their daddy’s or mommy’s everyone but me, if I ever got sold, my new owners would abuse me, but I didn’t want to believe them, they just love to act all mean to me, to make me cry but I don’t care, I know one day I’ll have a happy family.

Today was the big day, today was the day I’ll leave their care to my new owners, they said a big bad wolf have bought me, he’s going to eat me for dinner if I misbehave, but I’m a good kitten, I don’t deserve punishment or to be eaten alive. I’ll show them, I’m a really good kitten!!! For today, since it’s a big special day, I got a bath or the equivalent of the bath in this bad place, they use a hose and spray me with cold water while I cry, they then would brush my hair with too much force making sure my hair is all smooth, finally they dressed me in new one use diaper for the day, and a dress, I love wearing dresses but most days I’m just naked, they told me they are saving my dress for when needed, and today is the big day.

My first captor came toward me, he held my up by too much force checking how I look, he made sure to hide all my bruises before taking few pictures of me, yelling for me to get my ears up, but they are always laying against my head, especially when I’m sad, I’m sad most of the time, my tail was also hanging low between my feet.

“Could she act any sadder?” captor one asks.

“He’s still paying for the bitch, I don’t care if I have to deliver her crying and sobbing” Captor two answer him, making tears fill my eyes, why so mean, I know bitch is a bad word.

“Whatever you say, I’m done with the pictures,” he says, at least this time I’m dressed, other times, he had taken pictures of me while I was nakey.

“Put her to sleep, we’re moving once we get his okay” Captor one says. I hate when they put me down to sleep, that means the icky medicine, and I’m off until the medicine gets out of my body, making me feel sicker than usual.

Captor two got some kind of cloth with the medicine on it, my eyes filled with tears knowing what’s coming in next, the smell was terrible, it made me feel all dizzy until my eyes finally closed me falling asleep due to the medicine.

I felt my body being set in the cold cage, I hate the cage, but tonight might be my last night in it, I hope, I pray, want to. I felt the cage being shifted, I’m not a heave sleeper even with the medicine, I could still feel some of the movement happening, being taken to a car, the door closing behind me, taking off on the unstable grounds, we weren’t on the normal roads, if they got caught with me, they need some identification of whom I am, things they don’t have, I heard them talking about it before.

The road kept going up and down, it felt like we're driving through the woods, I could even hear some wolves howling before we hit a big bump, my head must have hit the wall of the cage making me blackout.
