Chapter 17

I looked at Gran, and then at Luca. “What’s an Aitvaras? And why do you both look so worried?”

Gran said, “I’ll explain everything in a minute, but you need to put the kitten down - carefully.”

“She’s got a name. She’s called Kitty.” I pulled Kitty closer to me.

“Cassia, listen to me,” Gran said. “This is for your own safety. Trust me. Put Kitty down on the table.”

“You’re acting as if she’s an unexploded bomb,” I said. Kitty purred as she rubbed her little head against me.

Luca said, “That’s a good way of putting it.” He held his hands out. “Let Kitty come to me. I’ll look after her while Esther tells you about her.”

I hesitated. Luca moved his hands closer. I looked into his eyes and knew I could trust him. I carefully placed Kitty into his hands.

Luca pulled Kitty close and said, “Hello there, little one. It sounds like you’ve been on some exciting adventures with Cassia and Stanley.”

Kitty nodded. “I have. I’m going to fly soon. You can watch me.”

Stanley moved over to me and gave me a worried look. I shared my own anguished look with him.

Gran began, “An Aitvaras is a shapeshifting dragon.”

“A dragon?” I looked at the little kitten.

“Hear me out, and stop interrupting,” Gran said. “Yes, they’re dragons who can change into a bird or cat, usually black in colour. When they are in their cat or bird form, they can place themselves in the home of their chosen victim.”

“Victim?” It was Stanley who interrupted Gran this time.

“Yes, victim.” Gran wagged a finger at us. “If you two don’t stop butting in, I’m going to put a silencer spell on you.”

Stanley and I pressed our lips tightly together and waited for Gran to continue.

“As I was saying, the creature makes its way into the victim’s home without the victim being aware of it. In your case, Kitty came home in the end of your broomstick. Once the creature latches onto their victim, they will start to bring them good luck. But the good luck has to be balanced with bad luck. Not bad luck for the victim, but bad luck for those around them. Cassia, have you been having bouts of good luck recently?”

I thought about that for a moment and then nodded. “I managed to find Lifin and Treto straight away when I went looking for them. I even found Treto when he was hiding beneath the trees.” I glanced at Kitty. “Well, it was Kitty who found him. And when I used that spell in anger, it worked perfectly.”

Stanley said, “Don’t forget about finding Alan’s body in Blythe’s garden. Didn’t you say Kitty wanted to fly over Blythe’s house?”

“She did. Gran, is this really true about Kitty bringing me good luck?”

“Was Kitty with you when these incidents occurred?”

“She was.” I frowned. “Stanley, do you remember when we took Kitty to the café and it was busy. All of a sudden, there was an empty table.”

“That’s right,” Stanley replied. “And you got the last bit of chocolate cake.
