Cindy's Pet Cheetah

This cheetah is no ordinary cheetah.

Yesterday,I got a cheetah. His name is Bahari. It means one who sails. I named him this because he was a pet of a sailor when suddenly the sailor went mad and attacked him. I was sailing nearby and rescued him from his previous owner. Bahari was purring,trying to comfort himself and I was shocked when I realized that he was nuzzling me. That day I felt happy because he didn't seem to want to leave my side. Even when the the veterinarian was checking up on his health and well-being,Bahari whined and cried whenever I tried to leave his side. I didn't want to,but I knew that staying with him would make him attached and I didn't know if I could keep him or if I was qualified to raise and take care of a cheetah cub. I cried the day the vet told me that he is "already your child. So what are you waiting for?" I had cries tears of joy because I knew that I would never be alone ever again.

I am a photographer and I was all alone. Each and every boy I've ever been in a relationship with has said the same thing: "You're doing work and never look up from the lenses!" It always ends the same way. I would correct them because I don't look at the lenses,it's called the LCD panel and he'll get mad and say he's leaving. He'll leave and I'll pretend I'm fine until I break down in the bath tub.

I'm not like that anymore. I still a scene girl. Always have been,always will be. I am still a photographer. The only things that have changed is the fact that I don't date anymore and I have a cheetah for a pet and companion.

Bahari leaps over my sofa and makes a few clicking noises with the robot antelope I got him for his I'm Glad I Got Ya Day. I was so happy that day when I saw him play with it. I smile and I say a quick spell.

I transform into a cheetah and Bahari says to me through telepathy:Finally! I thought you never would change!

I growl and then bite the robot antelope. Bahari growls back and tries to tug it out of my jaws. When I was little,a witch kidnapped me and taught me magic. Then she returned me home and I lied and told my parents that I had escaped. I became selectively mute and I refused to talk to most people. One of the people that I talked to about my powers was the vet that would later cure my future best friend. His name is Abdiel and he revealed to me the story of a cub that was stolen out of his clinic,a cheetah cub that I wold later name Bahari. A sailor had stole him and it made me mad so I used my powers to locate the ship and rescue Bahari. 

I can't believe that I am no longer alone. I feel like I'm on top of the world. Bahari jumps on top of me and I play fight with him. My life is amazing and I'm glad that Bahari is a part of it.

Author's Note

This was written after I watched videos on lions greeting their rescuers and I love cheetahs so I decided to write this.
