Prologue: Gentle Hands

The rain beat down upon your wretched form and you could do little more then call out for help each time a random person walked by and noticed you. But they never stopped, you were not worth the effort in this bleak world where there was little money and little food when it was stolen from your mouth by people deemed your superiors. You could understand it and you couldn't blame them considering it was your world too. Yet still the pain of your body was immense and you cursed the driver of the cart that had knocked you down and carried on like you were little more then a stone on the road.

Your heart sank as thunder sounded overhead - so much louder then you had ever heard it before and for once it made you want to hide, but you couldn't move. You had tried to view your own injuries but the pain in your back had made it impossible for you to turn and check yourself out. It made you growl and hiss, only to shriek at the idea of being so crazy! Okay, so you had been turned into a smoky-grey-blue cat with big brown eyes and a cute little button nose, as well as a coat like velvet.... but that didn't mean you had to stay acting like a cat! What was it that stupid Polish guy had said when he'd found you the other day? "If you think like a cat too long you'll stay a cat!" It was true too, though you had not wanted to believe that smelly pony and his eccentric human master, but where you would turn back into a human at night you were now only turning back into a human once every three days....

"MIAOW!" You called out again, almost screaming for the help you desperately needed, but with no sound of a cart on the road or feet in the mud you gave up. Slumping your once pretty face of now matted and stained fur into the nearest puddle you lapped what little water you could manage before feeling too disorientated to carry on....

"Oh, did I hear another kitty?" A sweet but kind of nervous voice reached your ears and they twitched, making you feel even more stupid. There was suddenly the familiar sound of boots in the mud and you let out a low mewl of pain before trying to move and call again. There was suddenly a different voice, another cat, and you looked up in surprise at a big fluffy brown cat with a big nose that was bouncing toward you, his fluffy tail lifted up like a banner for the person that followed.

"Oh... You look in a bad way. Want help?" The other cat bounced next to you - boy he was fat and you could only imagine how rich his owner must be to keep him so chunky. You could smell easily that it was a male cat, unneutered, incredibly healthy, and surprisingly you picked up no aggressive odours at all - something you'd learnt the hard way with the other street cats. With a gentle wheeze you nodded your head and the other cat let out a comforting purr and sat down beside you to help keep you warm before letting out a violent yowling-scream for his human. "Don't worry, da? My servant will help you out and I always wanted a friend around the house."

"Your servant?" You questioned weakly. You had noticed amongst the street cats that there were odd terms with regards to humans - can-opener, boss, mum, servant, toilet-cleaner, sap, and only occasionally the term companion - if this fat guy was calling his owner a servant then it was no wonder he was so chunky, but at least he had given you invitation to stay and that was a relief. But then you received a surprise when he chuckled at you.

"Da, my boss has many servants and as I'm second-in-command they are mine too and so much fun. This guy is Lithuania; he's the one who has to take me for my daily march. He has to take me back home in my special basket too so I don't get muddy paws from the rain. But you will be my friend, da?" The big cat questioned again, liberally rubbing cheeks with you to leave his scent on you and practically claim you as his. Gently you nodded in agreement when the human came to stand over you, a bonnet-covered pram dragging after him... some basket. The big cat grinned and began to mewl and whine at the human before he turned back to you and began to rub up against you. "Don't worry - humans are dumb, da, so I make like you're my girlfriend so he will not refuse to help... Or I will scratch his eyes out."

"That's reassuring..." You murmured before suddenly feeling soft hands stretch around you. At first you felt only sudden jolts of pain from being moved and viciously you jabbed your sharp teeth into the arm of the human that was lifting you up. But when he pulled you to his chest and gently fondled your ears whilst cradling you; you lifted your teeth from his arm and stared at him in fascination. His beautiful green eyes caught you off guard and you gave a mewl of sorrow before lapping at where you had bitten him in apology, purring all the time as he continued to stroke your ears.

"Poor pretty lady, I don't mind that you bite-ed me - someone hurt you so it's alright to be a little unsure. But don't panic, I will look after you. You're lucky to be a Russian Blue; otherwise Mr Russia might get upset with me bringing home a random stray with his precious pet." Lithuania smiled at you; that was the oddest compliment you'd ever gained in your life but somehow you felt both beautiful and reassured of your safety. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Gently Lithuania tucked you into the pram under a warm blanket and you received a surprise when the big fat cat hopped into the pram beside you. Yeah, he called this a basket? He really was fat! But the big cat just grinned and purred at you both rubbing your cheeks again and licking your ears in that way a cat does to his closest friend or sibling.

"Da, you'll be fine, my master loves pretty kitties! But what is your name?"

"My name..." You paused for a moment, the dizziness kicking in as the pram began to move and it shocked you that you could not really remember. But then you remembered and gave a smile of delight. "My name is ____."
