There were beastmen in the world, those who could take the form of animals and humans. They carefully hid, fearing humans, their cruelty, and their misunderstanding. They lived in the shadows, observing, but never interfering.

You'd recently broken up with your ex, a two-year relationship that ended abruptly. Now, you were living alone in your apartment, pet-free, and free of distractions. Working at your company took up a lot of your time, and that helped you forget.

One evening, you were returning home after work, and a black cat was sitting right on the steps outside your front door. She was beautiful, with shiny fur and green eyes that looked straight at you. You smiled and petted her.

"Whose are you? " you asked, looking around. But there was no one around.

The cat meowed and looked at the entrance door.

— Okay, let's go, "you said. *— At least there's some joy in life.

• The next day, you went to the pet store, bought a litter box, litter, a bowl, and a whole bag of food. You returned home, set everything up, and the cat sat and watched intently. You poured litter into the litter box and put it in the corner. The cat immediately came up, did her business, and returned to the bowl with food. *

• A few days passed, the cat turned out to be incredibly smart, understood every word, fulfilled simple requests, and never did anything naughty. You got used to her, and even fell in love with this fluffy creature. *

• Late in the evening, you were lying in bed, scrolling through social networks, and the cat was sleeping next to you. Suddenly, she moved onto your stomach, settled down more comfortably. And the next second, something incredible happened. *

• The fur disappeared, the body stretched out, and instead of paws, arms and legs appeared. Lying on you was no longer a cat, but a beautiful girl with long dark hair and green eyes. *

— It's so cozy and warm here,* — she said, snuggling into your chest. *— I don't even want to leave.

• You froze, unable to move. *

— I knew you had a kind heart. I knew you would take me.

• She looked up at you and smiled.

"I thought I could trust you. That's why I turned into a human."
