Disclaimer: I do not own the Chronicles of Nick

*note-I do not know Dagon's eye color, so i put in his cat form that he had gold eyes. Also I don't know if either actually have cat forms. This is just an idea.

*note- blah blah blah is them talking telepathically

NO FLAMES!

"Next time Caleb is getting the stray, I don't care how much he doesn't like the person or hell monkey." Nick grumbled as he looked around at his growing multitude of pets. Now that Aeron and Dagon were on the team, and since they were close to Xev, Nick's house had been offered as a safe residence. "I refuse to be called a crazy cat lady."

Aeron turned his head and Nick could see the mischief in the white cat's eyes. Crazy cat lady huh? What haven't you been telling me, boyo?

Nick threw the pillow at the feline/god who hissed and easily dodged it, as graceful as when he was fighting demons.

Dagon rolled his golden eyes at the two of them before diving for the thrown pillow. Sometimes they act so alike it's scary. His midnight black body curled up on the pillow before he turned his head and glared at the rest of the people in the room, Mine.

I was surprised that your mother would allow another cat, much less two. Xev's gray form made its way over to Nick and plopped itself in the young Malachai's lap. When in cat form Xev seemed so much more friendly, but in reality he seemed to be marking his territory. The room, the other god/felines, and Nick were all Xev's apparently.

I told you never to let her near a pet store or adoption place. This is why. She is a sucker when it comes to animals with no homes. Back when we had no money she always felt bad that we couldn't help them out, but now the two of us are doing a lot better. Nick explained to them. He laughed when Aeron scampered over to him and Xev and pounced on the gray cat.

Hey! Stop that. Xev snarled at the other cat.

Nick grabbed the two and put them on either side of his lap, ignoring their indignant 'hmph' at the treatment. "Oh don't give me that." he chuckled. "I don't want any of you on top of me. Its. weird."

He should have known better.

The three cats all seemed to perk up at the same time. Glancing at each other all three got up and started circling Nick.

"What are you three doing?" He asked, not bothering to use telepathy. They didn't answer him, instead they circled him like prey. "Seriously guys, what are you doing?"

Dagon easily jumped up onto the bed. Why do you think we're doing anything Gautier? His voice in Nick's head was falsely sweet and innocent. Nick knew better than to trust that. Aww, I'm offended.

From behind Aeron tackled Nick, and despite his small feline body was able to move the tall boy considerably far. Next Xev's gray body knocked into him, bringing him fully to lay on the bed. Dagon came last and since Nick was already lying down the effect was just Nick groaning. You're ours Gautier. Now that was just plain sinister. The three were obviously feeling satisfied because they laid down on his chest and stomach, not even bothering to think he would shoo them off.

"I hate you guys." That was such a lie, this was such a nice and peaceful memory in the ever present cloud of darkness and fear his life was turning into.

Hearing his thoughts Aeron responded, Glad we could help boyo.

Just a little one shot to get myself in that writing mood. I have ideas for Chronicles of Nick and I need to focus. What did you guys think? How do you like these four's friendship because despite the lack of it in the last book I really think the four of them together would be like the four stooges/musketeers.

Please review and tell me what you thought, I really like that.
