The Holder of Treachery

At any time you're at home, call up any courier company and ask to speak to "The Holder of Treachery." The person at the other end of the line with sound relieved and ask for your name and address, then hang up. Before the next sunset, you will receive a large box from that company, addressed to you but with no sender listed. The box will also have air holes, but you will not be able to see or hear anything inside.

No matter how you open the box, you will cut yourself on it and a few drops of blood will land on the contents; a white cat. Your life is now linked to that of the cat; should it suffer, you will suffer. Should you suffer, however, the cat will merely laugh at you. Should it die... you don't want to know what will happen to your soul if that cat dies.

Your task is to keep that cat alive until midnight a week from when you get the box. The cat, however, will try to kill you. It is unnaturally cunning and will try everything it can think of to lure you into your own death, and is more than happy to endanger itself to try and get you to die. As the week passes, these traps and plots will become more ingenious and harder to thwart, and you will need all of your wits and strength if you are to even have a hope of survival. If you have faced the [[Holder of Honor]], I pity you: you will not survive the week, and your death will be a mercy compared to what awaits you afterwards.

After a week has passed, and you are still alive when midnight approaches, the cat will launch itself at you and attack you one last time. It is amazingly strong and tenacious for a cat and death at its claws will plunge your soul into torment for eternity. Once midnight comes, the cat will scream, "[i]why won't you die[/i]?" You must answer, "Because I am not a traitor." If you give the answer without fear or hesitation, the cat will stop attacking you, look you in the eye and say, "Then you will learn." It will then scratch your hands and run from your sight, vanishing. Once this happens, go straight to bed and sleep. When you wake, your hands will now bear claws.

Those claws are Object 159 of 538. They bring betrayal to all who oppose you.

Object # of 538
