In that night, Jomin was unconscious and was fallen from a sleep spell cast by the maiden to him. When he was about to fall, she catches him with her two arms.
"Ugh...h-heavy," she said to herself.
Wondering of where he lived, she laid her two fingers on his forehead and used the ability to read within his mind. She then found out where he lived.
As Jomin laid on the ground with his back facing the skies, the maiden raised both her hands and looked above the moon.
She closed her eyes and slowly her hands glowed light green. And the mark of her forehead showed again.
When she opened her eyes, it was also glowing light green, and she chanted a prayer.
She then slowly placed her glowing hands onto the back of Jomin's wounds and it started healing. And it stopped the bleeding.
She put his arms around her neck and slowly carried him on her back, in an attempt of making a piggyback ride, but only halfway. Even though heavy, she tried her best to carry him with her small shoulders until they reached the road.
The car that was parked near the vending machine was familiar to her since she peered into his mind.
"I guess that's his car..." she said while looking at the car. She rested a bit and put Jomin into a sitting position under a tree.
"And the keys? Maybe in your pockets, Mr?" She reached her hand for his pocket to search for it and found a handful of keys which was put together with a thin ring. "Ok baby, now we are ready to go".
She went to the car and opened the car door, and then went for Jomin and carried him again to get him inside.
She was confused at first as to where he or she should sit. She saw cars before and tried to remember the details about them and figured it out quickly.
As soon as everything was settled, she and Jomin were in the front seat. She buckled him up and herself too, then she used the car key to start the engine and drove.
"Vrroonnmm...Vrrroonggm!" Then off they go.
At first, the maiden was a bit troubled about how to drive the car.
But then after a few moments of trial and error and luckily didn't damage the car, she finally figured it out and managed to drive it.
After an hour of carefully driving, they finally arrived at his place.
She stopped the car by the front gate of Jomin's house. Opened the car door and went out to reach open for the front gate.
But it was locked so she thought there should be a key among those keys that are put together with the car key. She wanted to park the car inside since the car belonged to Jomin.
She looked for the gate key from the handful of keys of where the car key was and finally found it after a few moments of inserting which key fitted in that lock.
As soon as she opened it making enough way for the car, she then drove the car in and parked it on the vacant space.
After parking the car, she went out of it and closed the gate. And then she went for Jomin inside the car and brought him out of it and gave him a half piggyback ride again.
The house seemed to be two-story but there was no one else at home. It had a flower box on the outside and it had a small porch, making a way through the entrance door.
The house was not that big but it was neat and the garden was pretty. It is easily seen since it's just in the front yard.
And that night it was very quiet, everyone was already fallen fast asleep on their beds. The only sound that the maiden can hear were the crickets, her breath, and Jomin's presence of breathing.
She placed Jomin on a sitting position again as they reached by the door of the house. Knowing that it was locked, again she searched for the right key of the house from the keys that she recently used from unlocking the car and the gate.
Tiny sounds of the keys echoed through the night. And the maiden finally found the right key making the door knob's lock lose ready for open.
She opened the door and dragged Jomin inside and then finally closed the door.
It was dark inside, she had no clue where could the light of this house be. So, she cast a small spell to turn on the lights and it did.
Now they are in the living room, as she recognized the chairs arranged by with a small table at the center. It was really neat. There were a small library and television, a lampstand beside the window, and a small aquarium.
There was another room but she didn't go for it, because right now her first concern is the man who saved his life.
She noticed a room up the stairs, suppose it could be his bedroom. She went up and take a look, and was right. She then got back down and went to Jomin. Though, it's kind of a problem of how she would get him upstairs for bed.
She thinks of why not in the living room? But the living room was not comfortable enough to sleep in.
So the only idea she had was to drag him upstairs, slowly and carefully.
After a few moments of the struggle of carrying him from the stairs, she finally put him on his bed.
Then, opened the window near and gazed up in the night sky with a beautiful half-moon.
Her hair was emerald in color with shades of dark green and black, she has fair skin and is very beautiful. And her eyes are amber in color.
As the moon shone brightly above, her hair magically grew long, and out came a tail behind her from the bottom and the cat ears from her head.
It's in their blood that they are this way, in the middle or very late at night. A moment of refreshment from the moon, The moonlight. And to remember where they really belong.
Mysterious she is, who could this creature be under the bright half-moon of this night?

The morning was peaking, the dewdrops are falling and a slight fog embraced the environment. The birds are chirping and the flowers are ready to kiss the dawn. The earthlings are soon to wake up and be awakened up from their slumber.
"Krrriinngg--! Krrriiinngg-!" Alarmed the alarm clock which was at the top of the drawer beside the bed of where Jomin slept.
Awaken by the alarm, he reaches his hand for the clock on the drawer to silence it.
He stretched his arms and yawned. Then sat on his bed for a moment. There was one thing that came out of his mind.
"Wait a minute... a dream?" He said while tracking the scenes to where it started from last night. "Well, I'm on my car---m-my car !" He went rushing to the window to check for his car. It was parked on the right spot.
"Thank goodness," he said and sighed with relief.
"But everything seems so real back there. Hmmm... I was in my car driving home, but decided to buy a drink, parked near a vending machine... then..." his mind was full of mixed thoughts and so were his feelings. "How weird! How did I end up here?"
"Maybe a dream?"
While taking off his shirt, he noticed something wrong with his shirt. He then saw the torn on the back of it. All of the scenes that night came like a flash rushing fast in his mind. He remembered the scene where he felt that terrible pain in his back. Realizing that the dream wasn't really a dream after all.
"The maiden!"
Quickly he rushed down the stairs to find her, in order to prove if it was a dream or not.
"Not here," he said to himself while checking the living room.
"Not even here" as he also checked the kitchen.
"What about outside?" He opened the door and went outside.
On the right side of where a flower box was, he saw her standing by. She was feeling the early morning winds.
"Is this for real?" He thought, very surprised.
The maiden noticed her presence. She looked unto him and smiled.
"Who the hell are you!? I mean what are you!?" He asked with a nervous and confused voice, shocked.
The other neighbors who were outside seemed to catch their attention.
The maiden who was worried about her identity that of which should be kept secret, ran unto him.
Before he could utter another word, his mouth was shut by the hand of the maiden and they directly went into the house and "bang!" doors shut.
The neighbors were worried but they have to stay out of it. Probably not their business because they think it's a family or a couple's problem. Private.
"thud" Jomin fell down the floor.
"Hey, what did you do that for?" he asked.
"...." the maiden tried to say something but her voice won't seem to come out. She needs to do something to be able to talk to him.
"Say something! What are you tryin' to do? Explain things to--" he said when he was startled with a voice speaking in his mind. He felt a little scared.
"Please calm down"
"Wha--? Huh?" He wondered and looked unto the maiden baffled.
"I'm sorry, but this is the only way to talk to you since it's morning," said the maiden in his mind.
"You are...using telepathy...Woah!" he said surprisingly.
"That's right, I'm Wanbu, I'm a mooncat," she said introducing herself.
"What's even a mooncat?" he asked.
"Don't be scared. I'm the person you helped last night," she said explaining.
"Yah, I know that night. What happened to my wound?"
"The moon helped me to heal you."
"Okay?... you know that it's hard to believe it... right?"
"I know our worlds are different but, may I stay here?"
"Stay? What do you mean to stay?"
"You see I'm alone right now, lost and got separated away from my guardian, because we were attacked by black cats."
"So those were black cats.. and?"
"And I'm waiting for her to find me and this is the only place--only you can help me. I hope you would understand my situation."
Jomin paused for a moment to think. It was so sudden and strange and he was completely baffled. it was undecided.
Until he chose to just help her.
He believed that it was destiny to help her at this moment.
"Okay. But don't try sneaky things, okay?"
The maiden smiled happily "thank you".
"Yeah, I guess it's not a problem." He said, blushing without letting her know.
For some reason, he also wanted to know more about her. Since her appearance is so different, like the color of her hair which is nearly emerald. It's like some anime. Well, his hair color is blue so he likes the company of having the hair color abnormality as normal.
He also thinks that it means a thing, possibly maybe but maybe not.
Back then he was bullied for having blue hair, and right now he seemed to reflect something with the maiden.
He is curious about her and the black cats.
'What could be the mystery behind all of this?' He thought to himself.
