The air in the Knight mansion felt thick, like a storm was brewing just outside the windows.
Inside her bedroom, Mia sat on the bed in her kitten form, feeling physically weak and mentally helpless.
Thump. Thump.
The sound of footsteps vibrated through the floorboards. To a human, it would have been silent, but to Mia's 'feline' ears, they were unusually loud.
And from the footsteps, she could tell it wasn't her mother, father or Penny. It belonged to someone else. Who visited the Knight Mansion?
Mia pushed her body out of the bed and slipped into the hallway.
She followed the traces of noises toward her father's private study.
The door was slightly ajar, a sliver of amber light spilling onto the carpet.
"I told you she has returned. What else can go wrong?!"
Mia stopped in her tracks and pressed herself against the wall hearing the agitated voice of her father. Her jade green eyes narrowed as she peered inside through the small gap.
