The days were boring. Hypnos never would have thought she would ever be bored of being powered up as Hypnos but she found out that while she was powered up as Hypnos trapped as a kitten that her options for doing things were quite limited. She couldn't sit at the table, she couldn't get up into her bed alone without great trouble and she couldn't even go to school. What sort of unjust world was this life as a kitten that she couldn't even learn new things?
She had lingered for most of the day at the school yard, rolling on the grass and trying to peer into the windows in an attempt to learn anything she could potentially overhear. She didn't mean to but the kitten had fallen asleep by one of the classroom windows in a soft pile of leaves and remained there long throughout the day and until a loud ring awoke her. She was startled and launched into the air as a fluffy ball of fur.
'It's just the school bell,' she reminded herself mentally, trying to remain cautious of her surroundings and the fact she was now a kitten.
It took a moment for the thought to cross her mind and then it finally hit her. School was over! That meant that Sam would be free and going home soon! Maybe she would be able to see Istas, Ridley, or Lissy. She knew she wasn't going to see Peter come through any doors anytime soon, unless he was successful in infiltrating the institute. She wished she had been, but alas. It was obviously who was at the top of her list (and many lists) but it didn't linger as a conscious thought for the child as she pounced her way across the leaves until she sat nearby the door Sam would most likely be leaving from.
