Chapter 14 - Grave News! Just A Local School Mystery?!

*Crickets chirping.

| Your local college journalist, Agnes! Here, slipping into our college's main building, late after dark. And for one key reason.

'Yesterday, I kept hearing this strange high-pitched cries! Have you heard them too?!'

'Oh, WHAT could those creepy sounds be!'

'Our campus isn't haunted, right?! Right?!'

| So, here I am. Probing around at night, to solve the cause of these eerie rumors...

((STeeeP!))

"Mhm... So this is our building's lobby at night." Agnes stated, as she eyed the halls. "Man, It's weird to be here, when I'm all alone...

Guess, I'll poke around the classrooms, if I want that next story." She sneakily muttered.

*Step..

*STep, step.

*Step~puh...

| Some searching and photos later.

"Nothing... Are there any more locations, I've forgotten... Hrm?" Agnes asked herself, as her ears twitched.

*Distant whisperings, and a echoing screech!

Grinning, she thought, 'Was that ghosts? Having a friendly conversation??? I think I know, where I'm heading next.'

| A hallway later.

"Heh?? Is there, something down there?" She asked, as she reached around her foot. "This feels like_ They're paintbrushes!? *Crinkles* Mrmm... "

*Deep mumbling sounds.

Her camera primed, Agnes exclaimed, "Those eerie sounds, are they from outside! Then that means, my story could be too-"

*Tin noises.

*Echoing cries, and shrieks.

Right there, I thrusted that backdoor open. Quickly snapped photos with my camera, and then I looked around.

"Aargh!-gRgngh- " The man chocked out, with complete shock. "gGrh!!"

((Mew? Squawk!))

Adjusting her ridiculous glasses, Agnes said, "You- They're-- Wait, those aren't ghosts. (...) Could you tell me, why are you here, -and this Late at night!"

(mwew? Merw!)

Looking anguished, he replied, "It is because, these homeless kittens.. needed feeding... There is, no one for them."

As she looked ahead, she responded, "Mhm-mrm! A momma cat, and her batch of kittens, huh? *Adjusts head* In that light, it feels like I've seen you somewhere... "

| Some introductions later.

"I'm just realizing, 'Satsuki'... If these cats were the rumors cause, that means I've got no story to tell..." She stated, as she scratched her head.

((Scratch, chew, squeak.))

Satsuki strictly scolded, "Please stop. Lids, are not chewable for animals."

Noticing something, Agnes shouted, "That sight! The cat holding that lid- What? Why's that feeling familiar to me..... "

| A day later, in the next article.

The headline read, "Guess what! College mysteries cleared, and real-life maneki nekos found! Are you in need of luck?

If you want luck, go head to the back of *** college! Maybe you can help THESE lucky cats."

"You like me? I think I'll call you -Ponzu!" A campus girl spoke.

"So swfot!! Is tofu a good name?!" A campus guy said.

| To be continued, Maybe! ^^
