I was 14 years old when my mum and dad split up after a 17 year marriage. My father had hurt me so much and my family also. This had to have been the darkest part of my life. I felt alone and unloved for months. I adopted Dracula during this time and he seemed to take my pain away and give me the love i was lacking.He was a very handsome black kitty boy.He was shy but he was a sweetheart!
I had him for almost two years before he went missing. I searched and hounded my neighbors for weeks to see if they had seen him, but my Drackie never returned home. A few weeks later my mum found him resting peacefully under our front hedge. We never found out how he died we guessed though that maybe he ran across the street got hit and in fear hid under the hedge. My mum says that he looked like he was dreaming of something wonderful that he was almost smiling. Unfortunatly i was at school during this hour so i didnt get a chance to say my good byes to my friend in person. My mum did for all of us then had her boyfriend take my handsome boy to the nearest animal control so they could return him to the earth. My mum didnt inform me about her findings until 3 days after. She planed on telling me after i found a new kitty friend that way maybe my pain wouldnt be as hard to deal with. The day after my mum found my baby boy i found an ad in the news paper for a litter of kittens who were ready to be taken into good homes. They had a black female and i just had to go see this kitten. When i got there to the owners home a family was leaving with a black bundle of fur in their arms. My heart sank i thought i was too late until i saw the kitten had white in their fur also. the kitty i was there to see what fully black! i couldnt wait to go in and see her. She was the last kitten of the litter. Almost like it was meant for me. She looked just like Dracula did when he was a baby and i couldnt let this sweetie go. i named her lucy. when i found out about my poor drackie i was heartbroken and cried for a few hours. I held lucy and loved her during that time and then i found it ironic that she looked identical to dracula and had the same sweetness as he did. i consider lucy my guardian angel sent from drackie to love me and make sure that im never hurting. bless you my dracula may you rest peacefully in heaven
