With all of his heart, Jinx missed Micah. For a year, there was no sign of him; Jinx didn't even feel him peering through his eyes the way he did sometimes when he was scrying, scanning town for danger. His brother said he should give up and find a new master. He kept urging Jinx to go home with him, with his master. Ezra. Micah and Ezra had history. It wouldn't hurt to hang around Ezra. Sometimes, he did. Just to get fed. Maybe for pets. When Ezra talked to him, it was evident he missed Micah, too.
"Where's your owner, hm, Jinxy?" Jinx would shake his head and lift his chin proudly, looking away with disdain. Owner! There was a difference between being a witch's familiar and some random person's cat. Owned! Miffed, he had left but he still came back. Jinx needed a human. It was just that he hadn't yet allowed himself to give into the fact that Micah was really gone.
Jinx kept the apartment clean. He rarely used the human form but it was easier to clean in it. He scraped together money to keep the apartment theirs. He knew, deep down, that Micah was coming back.
And when the fog began to roll back in during the autumn temperature drops, he knew. He knew he was coming back.
In the form of a small black cat, he waited at the door, ears standing at attention, tail swinging from side to side. Jinx could feel him. And then he could hear him, at the door. At long last...!
