Cass had literally been doing nothing all day, she had literally been waiting for the day to end by patiently tapping her foot on the door frame, then the chest at the end of her bed, to literally kicking the fireplace in the key stone until some part of the fireplace gave way (luckily the only thing that fell on her was dust) and now she was literally exhausted from literally only waiting all day for tomorrow that she found herself actually listening to what her only a few minutes older brother had to say about taking the cat outside. She didn't usually go near the thing but zombie!Cass seemed to be resident after eight pm today and there she went out the door, carrying the cat outstretched looking quite zombie like in this fashion until she reached the patch of grass in front of her house and dropped Tibbles like a hot cake.
"Do your business," she said, kicking the cat's tail to the side away from her open toed sandals.
And then she spotted a peculiar thing across the way. People in a tight knit group racing to the big big big house over the way. She could've sworn she had heard a cry as they darted past with some hulking animal type thing in front leading the way. Curling in on herself and feeling a lot less inconspicuous as she did this, she tried to keep still as to gauge what they were saying, but the rain was beginning to hammer heavily now. A meagre light threw from a lampost above the ever-quickening group some illumination on their pale faces but they still didn't look familiar; the Elwood family never had visitors, and still, they most definitely weren't part of the immediate Elwood family. She doubted any of them were related from the ones she could see, a right motley crew.
She sighed, shrugging it off mentally and also literally when she saw a teacher from school's face torn up in a bad way and she gulped, darting back inside and slamming the door on the loyal cat's tail.
