You walk out

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You walk out

You walk out to your mailbox, grumpy because your mom made you do it while you were in the middle of reading The Phantom of the Opera. Opening the little door, you find nothing but a golden envelope. What's this? You wonder, and you reach in.

Upon further inspection, you discover the note is sealed with a red glob of wax. The wax is imprinted with a pair of drama masks, one happy, one sad. You peal off the seal. As you slide out the letter inside, you hear faint organ music playing in the background. Ignoring the music, you read the note.

Dear Recevier of this Note,

You have been invited to the Grand Reopening of the Paris Opera House! After being abandoned for quiet a while, this opera house is finally restored to it's glory. The queens and toms of Paris are itching to get their paws on tickets to shows, but you're lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour!

You will be able to see many performances, experience the wonder of early 20th century France, and even go on a tour of the Paris Opera House!* There may even be some very special guests who might show up! Your AEs and CAPTCHAs are welcome. Do you dare to come with me on a slpendid journey of music and mystery?

Sincerely, The House Owner

*We are not responsible for deaths, hauntings, or anything of that sorts. The one thing we can promise is that the Feline of the Opera will not be responsible for those things.

You shrug, and think, This seems fun. Suddenly, fur starts sprouting up all over your skin, and the world around you starts to spin. You soon find yourself in front of the Paris Opera House, as an anthropomorphic cat.

Day 3, Part 5

The funerals had been arranged, and a cloud of gloom had settled itself over the CBers. The House Owner noticed this, so he invited the CBers backstage to have a little fun. When they had all gathered backstage, The House Owner began a game of Best Dressed.

~~~ 

Meanwhile, The Feline and September were exploring the Opera House. The Feline led September down into his lair, and the two cats were surprised by the fact that it was empty.

"Hm..." mused The Feline. "I guess they moved everything out after I left." "You left?" September asked. The Feline nodded. "I couldn't stay down here forever." he replied. "I am a criminal, after all." September took his words in, then realized something.

"Where did you go?" she inquired. The Feline hesitated. "Uh... Somewhere?" September rolled her eyes. "Where did you go?" she wondered again. The Feline looked away. "I went away from here." he answered uneasily.

Then September saw it. It wasn't very noticeable, for it was small, but it was surely there. She saw a little hole smack dab in the center of The Feline's head. "Why is there a hole in your head?" September questioned.

The Feline whipped his head around so that he now faced September. His single amber eye was wide in fear, and his frown had turned into a snarl. "Go away!" he shrieked. Then his form swirled together until he was a blob of black and gray. The form moved, then drifted away, revealing a black cat with two amber eyes. It hissed, and dashed off into the shadows.

September was bewildered. How had The Feline turned into a cat? Why was there a hole in his head? September forgot her shock and ran after the black cat.

~~~

After what seemed like hours of searching, September found The Feline in a corner crying. When she sat down next to him, The Feline raised his head and growled. "I told you to leave." he snarled. September ignored him. "Tell me the truth," she ordered. The Feline plopped his head back into his knees. "I'm dead..." he sobbed.

September was speechless. The Feline was a ghost?!? Then it all came to her. The hole... It must've been the cause of his death. And his transformation...

~~~

Heh heh heh. I've hidden an Animal Jam reference in the story... Try and find it!
