Imogen



This is a short story I wrote using a story starter
IMOGEN
Imogen was sitting on her old leather couch snuggling her cheek into her two tortoiseshell cats Latte and Sundae. Tortoiseshell cats are usually really snobby, but not Imogen's cats. Latte and Sundae were so tame that a 1 year old could pull them down the hallway by their feet. Imogen was a cat lover and she was so surprised when she got told her aloof cat Latte was having kittens. Imogen was a girl who was always thinking in the future so she had named Lattes future kittens Amber and Milo. The kittens were due to arrive in less than 4 days so Imogen was getting restless. Dr Tomas had told Imogen that there were to be two kittens, he only said that so she was kept busy for the next few days making up names for the future kittens. Imogen snuggled closer to latte and Sundae whilst she watched the TV. She switched through the channels until she found her favorite, but for some reason her favorite show had been replaced by the news. She kept searching the channels but the show she loved was no where. Imogen finally gave up and started to watch the news. On the TV, the producers were saying how a mysterious plane had flown down onto the most popular airport in the city. The plane drivers looked like they were about 100 years old and they seemed as though they were lost. Whilst Imogen was fixed to the TV There was a sudden knock on the door. Imogens mum Tisha opened the door. A man stepped in, he was wearing a black leather coat. The coat was the mirror image of the man from the TVs, the man who stepped out of the plane. The man spoke up. His croaky voice echoed around the house sending Sundae and Latte flying out of the room like there was a dog chasing them. “ I am your grandfather”he said this with a struggle. “ ahhh no that isn't possible because my father died in a plane crash 3 years ago” Tisha said whilst trying to avoid Imogen's hard gaze that was beaming right through her. Right now all that was on Imogen's mind was that’s my granddad and a little about her band's latest performance. Imogen's band was called two times cool/ another cool summer they couldn't decide the name but they were going for Another Summer. But that is a completely different topic. The man introduced himself as Alec Dixon. Tisha and Alec ( pronounced Al-eyk) were arguing for a while trying to declare that he was or was not related to them but Alec won. Imogen knew it would turn out like that because her Mum was terrible at arguing. Sundae and Latte ran back into the room and jumped into Alec's arms and started licking him. “ See Mum even the cats think we are related” stated Imogen in a sassy tone. A few weeks later with Alec by her side Imogen went to pick up Milo and Amber her two new cats, or should I say kittens. But there was one more kitten riding along with them, that furry friend was a kitten called Copper who had been hiding away in Latte's tummy without anyone knowing. Things were peaceful in Imogen's house… that's what she liked most.
