I entered the house. I look around it. Small but tidy.
Then I feep goosebumps all over my body. Something is rubbing on my feet.
I look down only to meet an expecting gaze.
"meaow..." the xat sweetly meowed.
With a heightened alert I jumped and attacked the intruder. I bite it on its neck but stopped halfway without hurting the cat. I suddenly has recollection of this cat based on the owner's memories.
This cat is Coco. A stray cat Crystal picked because of pity. And the cat is just so sweet so Crystal keeps it.
I opened my jaws dropping the frightened cat. It hastily went to its cat corner (a corner Crystal especially arranged with sleeping mat and with all necessities Coco needs). It tries to bury its body in its sleeping mat but only its head is burried. the rest especially it plump buttocks is facing me.
"Pfft!" I couldn't help but laugh at how silly Coco looks.
"Meow.. Don't look at me meow." Coco cries.
I was startled. "It turns out I still understand cats. So it means I also understands dogs."
I jumped into the sofa with all four limbs.
"ugh, so soft." I smiled blissfully.
"I need to focus."
I then started to analyze my situation. I close my eyes in meditation.
"I am a dog reborn on a woman's body. I have to integrate everything I remembered from my past life with Crystal's. That's the only way for me to play Crystal's upcoming days well."
But with a soft and warm sofa under me, I just can't help but drift to sleep.
Zzzzzzzz..... (drools)
In dreamland,
"What! A dog?" a shriek behind startled me.
I turned my fury head and look at her with disdain.
"Cutie dog, why are you here? I'm supposed to meet the soul that resides my body now." Crystal pat my head and asked.
"Well, I am the one residing it now." I answered. I don't know how but somehow speaking on our own languages, we understand each other.
Crystal covered her mouth. Then she cry.
"Stop it. I'm much clever than you who died because of alcohol allergy eventhough you know it." I told her ruthlessly. I hate crybabies.
"okay. I do not have much time. I am about to go to the realm of heaven. Here take this."
Crystal handed me a crystaa ball.
She placed it on my paws and gradually dissapear.
"Find the culprit for... me.." this are her last words before her soul dissipated in the air entirely.
I then focus myself on that crystal ball. The ball floats up and enters my forehead.
I was afraid it may cause some accident so I struggled to stop it from sinking further. But with my paws, instead of withdrawing it, I seem to push it even deeper to my head until it disappear.
Then somehow like a new born self, I could feel all of Crystal's life is merging with my doggy soul. As if I am her and She is me.
