IslandOne morning,
a white cat was fishing on a small boat. At 30 years of age, he lived
alone. He enjoyed sea fishing and more
often than not he caught enough for dinner. Suddenly the sky was dark and
threatening. A gale was blowing and the sea was choppy. He quickly packed
everything and began to sail home. Unfortunately he was too late, he must find
a shelter or else he
would get drown. He thought
he was going to die when he suddenly saw an island.There was as old man watching him from inside, he
giggled when he saw the stranger landed on the shore, the stranger was drenched
through with rain.The white cat pulled the
boat ashore and hid it in the forest entrance. Looking around in bewilderment,
he saw lights coming out from a house. He picked up everything and decided to
visit the house. He did not know that only this area was raining, it was not
raining outside this island.The main
body of the house was a rectangle, but added on were curved portions that
looked like towers with grey peaked roof tops. The outside of the old house was
covered in a kind of tile that had been ripped away in places to expose the
wooden skeleton beneath and part of the roof had also been torn off.An old human
opened the door, "Young man, please come in," he said in a
voice perfectly calm, and no muscle of his countenance disturbed.The white
cat entered the house slowly. To his surprise, the house was as bright as
daylight. The floor was paved with mint flowered bricks and the wall was paved
with white flowered bricks. These colours made the room brighter. It has one
door and two windows. One window was near the steps and the other one was its
opposite. From this window, he could see the blue sky and sea."Young man,
what's your name? I'm White, you can use the washroom to dry your body," the old man's thick,
groomed mustache was sliver-white. His wide forehead had numerous lines."Mr White, I'm Bella." After Bella dried his
body, he sat down in front of White."Bella, you
better leave before evening because this house is haunted."Bella nerves
were so shaken that he could not govern his voice and conceal his
agitation. "Ghosts?
Vampires? Dracula? Spirits?"White shook
his head slowly, "No, just ghosts only. But don't worry, I'll teach you how to kill
ghosts. However these are not ordinary ghosts, do you know Zhang the Exorcist?""No, why?""Zhang's Shifu - Maggie
- ordered him to cleanse some ghosts in an empty house. But he got scared, the
ghosts captured him and tortured him until he almost lost his precious dick.
When he was fully recovered, he quit the job and married with a nurse.""Alright, I won't get scared when I saw the ghosts. But first thing first, can I make
breakfast?""Sure, but there's no kitchen in this house, you can make your breakfast here."Twenty minutes
later, Bella began to eat the roasted fish. "White,
why don't you leave this house?" he asked in
a tone of great curiosity.White put a
cookie into his mouth, "I've been
living in this house for many years. This is my ancestor's property and I'm not going to
give up so easily. Beside, I'm too old to
go to the mainland and start a new life," he answered in a leisurely manner.After a sip
of water, Bella continued talking with White, "Why don't the ghosts kill you immediately?"White
sighed, "They wanted to torture me slowly.""White, I'm full now and ready to learn kung fu.""Bella, it is very simple only. Just meditate until your hands
feel the heat, and then point at the ghost with a finger. You don't need kung fu to fight them, instead you
need courage."Soon Bella
felt his paws were burning, he opened his eyes but did not see White. He stood
up and entered the washroom. After he finished business, he opened the
door but he saw an empty bedroom. He was shocked and immediately closed the door again. He forgot what
White told him just now, he was very scared now, he lost courage completely. His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his
legs became weak and his knees were knocking. He breathed
in deeply to relax and opened the door again, he left the room with shaking legs.Standing in a
marble hallway, he was
confronted by the most terrifying thing he had ever
seen. He could not move, had
nowhere to go and his feet
suddenly finding their own will, failed to move after his very strong desire told them to do so. A girl walked
out from the previous bedroom and yelled. "Hey! What are you doing in my house!"Just now the bedroom was empty, so where did this girl
come from? Bella's legs suddenly carried him as fast and as far as possible. "Wow,
young man, you can run so fast!"Now Bella was running along the hallway, "Of course,
I'm an anthro cat!" he answered proudly. He could run two times faster than a
human, but the girl managed to follow him. He glanced at the girl, she has no feet
and now she was flying. He increased his speed and he believed that he has
broken the Olympic record.The hallway has no end, luckily the girl suddenly
disappeared. Bella slowed down and gasped heavily. At that moment he saw an old
man sitting on a chair, eating cookies alone. "Mr White, just now I saw a
ghost," he panted.The old man turned his head around, but his body
remained unmoved. "I'm not Mr White, I'm Mr Black," he giggled, he has a black
face. The old man stared at the white cat. Just stared. Nothing else, yet the cat
could feel his pulse beating in his ears, blocking out all other sound except
the breath that was raggedly moving in and out of his mouth at regular, gasping
intervals.Bella broke another Olympic record - he jumped as high
as possible, his ears stood up and his heart almost escaped from his chest. He
turned around, took a deep breath and ran again. He had no idea where to go, he
just wanted to leave that place. He slowed down when he entered a living room.
He tried to lower his ears but they were somehow frozen and he has lost control
over them. He sighed and decided to let them dropped automatically. "Young man,
you look thirsty. Take a break, have a 7-Up."Bella turned around and saw a can of 7-Up floating in
the air but he did not see anyone. "Thanks," he said and began to drink it. Bella
turned around again and saw a man without anything on his face - he was
faceless. Immediately Bella squirted him with 7-Up."Young man, it is rude to do that!"Suddenly Bella shouted, "Alright! I'm not going to run
anymore!" he finished the 7-Up and threw the can to the faceless man, but it
went through his body.Bella suddenly remembered what White told him. He
closed his eyes, concentrated, gathered courage and soon his paws felt the heat
again. He opened his eyes and punched the faceless guy, immediately it turned into
dust and disappeared. He was very angry now, he hated being played by the
ghosts.********************"Bella, open your eyes!"Bella felt someone shaking his body, he quickly opened
his eyes and saw White again."Bella, did the ghosts attack you? I saw you punching
and kicking like a mad cat here."Bella nodded and told him everything, he did not leave
the room after all."You looked angry, good, please continue to keep up
your anger. Zhang the Exorcist
forgot to get mad, and so he lost the battle.""Why!""Both anthros and humans, whenever you got angry,
you'll become more powerful. For example Dr. Bruce Banner will transform into
Hulk whenever he got mad; Son Goku will transform into Super Saiyan whenever he got angry. When living
creatures got angry, they will scare the ghosts away.""No wonder, the moment I got angry, all illusions are
gone and I'm back to here. They somehow made my blood boil. DON'T PLAY-PLAY
WITH ME! I'M AFRAID OF NO GHOSTS!""That's right, they liked to trick you with illusions,
you'll get lost in their world once you felt frightened. Or even worse, dragged
into the Hell and never returned. Anger will consume a lot of energies, you
better eat something now before they re-appear."Bella made some chicken sandwiches, "White, where did
they come from?" he began to asked.White inserted a cookie into his mouth, and then he
told Bella everything about his parents. "Bella, you better get angry and
meditate now," he said.Ten minutes later, many faceless ghosts began to
attack them."Watch me," White said and pointed at a ghost. A lightning
was shot out from his finger and destroyed the ghost."How dare you bully an old man!" Bella got mad about
it and exclaimed, "Cowabunga!" he shot down many ghosts and finally they
destroyed all ghosts."Bella, their Boss is coming, you better re-charge
now...too late!" A giant faceless creature
appeared and released unseen fear-gas towards Bella, causing him to feel frightened.
White was not affected by the gas. "Don't look into his
eyes!"Bella froze looking at the giant faceless creature.
Sweat poured down Bella's body as he stayed still as possible. It looked at Bella
up and down and he almost let out a whimper. Bella tried not to breath but he
knew it was impossible."Bella, there's a power that comes from deep inside of
you, cause every day you're reaching toward the light!"Bella started as though roused from a dream and said, "Sorry,
he got me scared - for a few seconds. Now I'm getting mad again!"The creature attacked White with poison gas. White
avoided and released ten lightning strikes from his fingers. She got hit
directly but was unharmed. Bella got an idea and found the fuse box."Bella! What the hell you're doing?" White shouted as
Bella opened the fuse box."Re-charge!" Bella shouted back and used a paw to
touch the metal gently. Immediately he got electrified and was bounced
backwards."Bella, speak to me, are you alright? OMG! You became a
bar-be-que cat!""I...guess...so...don't try this at home, you're not a cat
and you don't have nine lives," Bella now became a black cat and engulfed by
smoke.White took a deep breath and stretched out both hands
to release the most powerful lightning strike. Bella also did the same thing.
At the same time, the enemy also released the greatest poison gas towards them."Bella, push harder!"Bella got angrier and pushed with all might. The
lightning and poison were bounced back to the enemy, blasting the enemy into
dust. Bella was glad that he became a white cat again."Bella, thanks, it's already morning and the rain has
stopped, you can go home now.""White, thanks, I'll use this power to help others."White shook his head, "The power can only kill ghosts,
not living creatures, you can become a Ghost Buster if you want to.""Cool, good idea."White handed Bella a compass, "East all the way," he
said slowly."Thanks, White."Bella found his boat and began to leave the island."Thank you, Bella," White said as he sat down on a
chair. He closed his eyes slowly, a light engulfed him and he disappeared. He
died in peace after Bella helped him to destroy all ghosts.The end.
