Second Chance Dinner: The Familiar Cafe

By Bonnie Elizabeth

Stressed out about her business, Jade Owlens wants nothing more than a quiet walk home with her familiar feline, Mason. That is until she spots Tyson Lyons coming out of his office on her way home.

 

The two start to chat only to hear the squeal of tires and the howl of a cat! Mason has disappeared.

 

Finding him limping to the sidewalk, Jade gathers him up, terrified about what's going on. Familiars don't just jump out into the street.

 

Thankfully, Tyson rushes them both to the vet where the waiting starts.

 

Second Chance Dinner is short story in the Familiar Café World featuring Jade Owlens

Bonnie Elizabeth

Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them. While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them. Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories. When the internet came along (yes, she’s old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don’t notice rejection. Then she started publishing. Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire. She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back. You can find out more about her books at her publisher, My Big Fat Orange Cat Publishing.

Ihandle stress poorly and yet here I was, planning a two-year anniversary celebration for my business. I run the cat café in Waverton, Kentucky. As the witch familiar capital of the United States, of course, my cats were all familiars waiting to adopt a witch.

September was an excellent time for an anniversary celebration. The mayor had pressed me to go all out even though it was only two years. The celebration would bring in more outsiders to our little town and outsiders always brought money. My café was good at bringing in outsiders. Last year, the mayor had given me a little pawprint plaque with my name, Jade Owlens, on it, along with thank-you.

I paused to catch my breath, sinking down into my favorite chair in the cat portion of the café. My employees had closed the shop an hour ago and I’d been working on the anniversary celebration plans with my best friend, Natalie. Natalie runs the hotel in town and is very proud of the fact that it has the best space to hold an event. She’d taken it upon herself to help me plan the anniversary celebration.

For now, I had to rest. Charlene, one of my employees had made sure the familiars were snoozing in their kennels in the private area in the back. I felt a tingle of magic along my skin, the tickle raising the hairs on my arms. It came from
