"I told you this was a terrible idea."

Ilia rolled her eyes at her father's typical grumping, straightening up from where she'd bent down to check at the wheel of their carriage. "Oh, calm down, Papa," she sighed, frowning.

A soft mew from inside the carriage drew her attention and she stepped forward to hold her arms out, allowing Twyla to jump into her embrace and purringly nuzzle against her chin. "Well, it's certainly jam. We'll just have to walk to the next house, see if someone will offer some assistance."

Varryn glowered at her. "You know what a bad idea that is, sweetheart," he grumbled. "We're out in the middle of nowhere-"

"It's hardly the middle of nowhere, Papa," Ilia sighed, long-suffering. "We're in the middle of estate grounds, aren't we? There's manors on every side of us, one of them is bound to help us!"

No sooner were the words past her lips when the gray clouds that had been ominously gathering above them opened with a crashing sheet of rain. All three, human, demon, and hellcat, screeched at the sudden deluge and started sprinting up the quickly muddying road toward the nearest house.

Varryn slammed his fist against the door and Ilia called, "Hello, please, is anyone home? Can you let us in out of the rain, pleas?!"
