Rose sat up and rubbed her sore throat. She was now terribly confused and slightly afraid. Two strange men, both with a gun, came into her apartment without her letting them in. What was the world coming to anyways? She picked up the kitten who immediately began to purr loudly and rubbed her neck in an attempt to sooth the redden skin. Rose buried her face into the kitten's soft fur and tears began to flow down her cheeks. Her body began to shake uncontrollably.<br/><br/>~Just what was I thinking of? I don't understand why I even tried to stand up to that man. Now what am I to do? I wonder how many people know my secret...... my past is my past not someone else's....~ Rose thought to her self as she held the kitten.<br/><br/>"I think that I'll call you Spooky. After my life was very normal and dull just like I like. Now I have been spooked by those two men. Things comes in threes...... Let's see if one of them will tell me what is going on and why." Rose spoke to the kitten in a harsh voice. It was very painful to speak and she knew that working tomorrow may not be possible. She would have bruises on her neck in the shape of a man's hands.<br/><br/>Slowly Rose went out to the living room to find the men and to clean up the mess. She also was hoping to find them still there so she could ask questions. But when she came out the mess was there but the men were gone. With a heavy sigh, Rose cleaned up the mess. She then put a chair in front of the window to half way block it close until it got repaired. By the time she was finished with the clean up and covering up the window, Rose was completely awake. She would call in sick tomorrow for she couldn't let the apartment be unguarded and who knows when some one would be back to fix the window.<br/><br/>After a fitful sleep and 5 hours later, Rose finally got up and took a bath. She used extra makeup to cover the slight bruise on her neck. It was not as bad as she expected but still she would need to wear a turtle neck type of a shirt. Rose tossed a pair of jeans and a loose cowl neck sweater on before going into the kitchen to make breakfast.<br/><br/>Spooky was snooping about and pawing under things to find something or another. Rose paused to watch the kitten. He was a cute little thing and very funny. Rose opened a package and tossed a ball. Spooky ran after the ball, batting it around the room. She made some coffee to drink and watched the kitten play.
