Chapter 50 - Unwelcome Guests

Chapter 50 - Unwelcome Guests
Kit was slammed onto her back on the hard kitchen floor. Cyrus yelled her name and ran towards her. Kit covered her face with her hands, feeling something hot against her skin. Cyrus started to laugh out of nowhere.
“ What’s so funny, Cyrus? This is bad!”
More snickering from Cyrus was heard before she heard him let out a large sigh.
“ Open your eyes, Kit.”
Kit opened her eyes and looked around. Cyrus was standing in front of something that was curled up and whimpering on the floor. Kit looked at him with a puzzled expression. He smiled and stepped to the side. There, behind him, was a small maned wolf. She was looking up at Cyrus with love.
“ Oh please, Kit, can we keep her?”
Kit slapped her hand to her forehead, exasperated by his immaturity.
“ Fine. We’ll keep her… but she’ll not sleep in our room or near Aurelia.”
Cyrus clapped his hands together twice like a child.
“ Yeah! I’ll call you… hmm… Khapri!”
Cyrus seemed so very happy. Kit couldn’t help but to smile at his excitement.
“ You are a cutie, huh? Yes you are, Khapri!”
Cyrus bent down and sat on his knees, stroking the wolf tenderly. She seemed content and comfortable. Kit walked over to the door and shut it tight, clicking the lock on it. Kit sighed, thinking of the interruption that Khapri caused. She shook her head and walked back up to her room, ignoring Cyrus’s calls for her. She sulked all the way up the stairs and shut her door tightly.
“ Stupid Cyrus… ditching me for some stupid mutt… I swear that dog glared at me… hmm…”
Kit shook off that thought and threw off her clothes into the hamper. She grabbed a large T-shirt and threw it on. She grabbed a pair of long silk shorts and threw them on as well. She climbed into the bed and moved all the way to the edge. She pulled the sheets up to her chin and closed her eyes, falling asleep quickly.
Cyrus settled Khapri in downstairs and began to make his way up the stairs and to his room. If he were lucky, he’d catch Kit while she was still awake and hopefully happy. He opened his room door slowly and approached the bed wistfully. He saw Kit sound asleep on the edge of the bed furthest away from him. She must be mad at him again. He sighed, changing into his flannel pants and a white T-shirt. He leaned over Kit before returning to his side of the bed. He kissed her gently on the cheek before walking around to the opposite side of the bed. He climbed into bed and fell asleep with the covers only halfway covering his body.
Kit awoke in the morning to the feel of hot, moist air on her face. It smelled of death and decay. Kit opened her eyes and saw two large brown eyes staring her in the face.
“ Eeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”
Cyrus, who was in bed beside her, yelled as well, was woken by Kit’s scream. He stumbled and fell out of the bed, slamming onto the floor and almost knocking over his nightstand.
“ What is it? What’s wrong?”
Kit was frozen, staring and panting, at the form of Khapri beside her bed.
“ What the bloody hell is that mutt doing in here?!”
Kit was close to tears with her fear. Cyrus was out of breath too.
“ Sorry, Kit! I didn’t know she could open…”
“ Save it! I don’t care! Just shut up!”
Kit got up and grabbed a set of clothes that was lying atop her dresser. She stormed out of the room and towards the bathroom. She slammed the door and threw her clothes down on the counter next to the sink. She took deep breaths and rinsed her face with cold water. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, frowning at her appearance. She couldn’t just let their relationship crumble like a stale biscuit. She had to hold the love that they had in her arms and keep the flame lit. She threw her nighttime clothes on the floor by the wall opposite the shower. The rippled glass in front of the shower was dry. Kit looked at the glass and sighed, turning her attention back to the shower handle. She turned on the water. It ran cold for a while before becoming steamy and hot. Kit stepped into the shower and slid the sliding doors shut. She sighed and let the water run over her, creating a white noise. The sound of the running water completely absorbed Kit, drowning out the sound of the bathroom door opening. Cyrus slipped into the bathroom, clearing his throat obviously. Kit heard him that time.
“ What do you want? Go away…”
Cyrus sighed, setting down Kit’s towel on the edge of the sink by her clothes.
“ Kit… I’m sorry. Will you speak to me? I love you…”
Kit heard Cyrus apologize and felt a tear in her eye. She liked the water because it hid her tears. Cyrus saw the blurred and fuzzy form of Kit behind the rippled glass. The glass had steamed up, causing her to look more blurred than usual.
“ Kit… I love you so much! Please forgive me for whatever I did…”
Kit looked down at her wet feet. The water made them shine with the reflection of the light. She heard him scuffle his feet on the hard floor. She saw his hand reach for the door handle of the shower.
“ Rus… do you want to come in too? It’s pretty cold out there…”
Cyrus was stunned at the sudden request. He didn’t think too much about it though. He took off his clothes and hopped in the shower with Kit. She was shy, but still so fragile-looking. Kit hugged Cyrus, letting him hold her close.
“ Cyrus… don’t ever leave me… promise?”
Cyrus smiled, holding Kit close to him. She was shaking from fear apparently.
“ I promise…”
As Cyrus was about to kiss Kit, he heard a scratching sound on the bathroom door.
“ Kit… you hear that?”
Kit heard it too. She shut off the water and slid open the shower door. She stepped out and grabbed her wand from the pile of her fresh clothes. She put on the clothes and dried her hair by magic. Cyrus was quick to follow suit, changing and gathering himself. Kit bolted from the bathroom as soon as she was done. Khapri was looking scared at the door of the bathroom. Her tail was tucked firmly between her legs and she was whimpering terribly.
“ Khapri… what is it?”
Kit asked Khapri and stroked her back. Khapri kept looking nervously at the stairs. Kit drew her wand again, pointing it at the stairs.
“ Kit, I think it’s something bad…”
Kit told Cyrus to get Aurelia from her room. He nodded and did as he was told. He saw Kit heading for the stairs as he exited Aurelia’s room with her in his arms. She was sleeping soundly and clutching her penguin plush close to her. Kit put a finger to her lips to signal silence. She walked down the stairs quickly and silently. Cyrus followed Kit to the front door in the living room. She was approaching the door with her wand raised. Cyrus was concerned about the sound of voices and the rough tone in each voice. Before Kit reached the door, she heard the voices become silent.
“ BOMBARDO!”
The door shattered and covered Kit and Cyrus with pieces of wood. Kit ran and covered Aurelia while Cyrus shielded Kit. Two death eaters came in through the shattered remains of the front door.
“ We’ve got you now, Cyrus Riddle and Kathryn Johnson, you’re coming with us!”
