MIDNGHT

LaGina struggled with her aging body as she walked towards the dim light that seeped through the thick, red drapes. Her liver-spotted hand shook as she grabbed the satin tieback and wrapped it around the curtain before hooking it over the brass wall clip. Dust billowed in the now brightly sun-filled room as the old woman pushed back her long, white hair and peered out the window. The front yard was nicely trimmed with colorful flowers running down each side of the old broken sidewalk. Trees lined the border, blocking it from the nearby dirt road. Her eyes frantically scanned the area, looking for her dear friend, Midnight. He was just an old stray black cat she had found wondering the alleys in her childhood hometown when she was only eight years old.

“Midnight!” LaGina yelled after limping to the back door in hopes the cat was hiding in the thick woods. “Here, kitty, kitty!” Spoken louder with a shaky hint of fear, she’d shouted it after she’d opened the door. Carefully, she descended the back steps and closed in on the trees. “I have a treat for you!”

“Meow,” Midnight faintly answered. LaGina quickly looked toward the old well. No! Her mind screamed with panic, but just then, the old cat sauntered around the crumbling bricks. Her heart skipped a beat and she smiled.

Slowly, she scooped the old cat into her arthritic arms and gently caressed his dull gray fur. His eyes were murky, a veil of white hiding his once green eyes. “You poor baby,” the old woman cooed in a voice much more suitable to a young woman. She turned until facing her house, the limp in her walk less noticeable as she neared her home. She reached for the doorknob and her liver-spotted hand was now as peachy as the fruit on a tree. After they entered their home, Midnight leaped from her arms as spry as a kitten, landing with a thud. His body glistened in the light as he rubbed his black-colored fur against his mistress' legs.

“You silly cat,” LaGina said as she bent down. The movement caused her long, blonde hair to fall forward as she stroked Midnight's head. She had enjoyed over one hundred and forty years with her beloved friend and she hoped for many more. Midnight looked upward to her with those bright green eyes she was so accustomed to seeing. “Don't you wander off again. You know it will be the death of us,” the now young LaGina said. She gracefully walked into the kitchen with her friend close behind.

Midnight sat down on the cold tile floor, licking his paw and watching his mistress while he patiently waited for his tasty treat.
