Hello those who stumbled upon this story or are just loyal to me as an author! This is the second story of my rotation and again after next week we will be back to Danny and back to Fireheart. I have worked on Bolt before and here is a fun fact, Bolt was the first fanfiction based show I read about on this site!
It was dark and as it seemed quiet there was a little bit of sun light pouring in through the cracked window shades. Even though it had landed like this directly on his fur, so white that the light dispersed in all directions he wasn't awakened by that. It was because of the surge of energy he always felt when waking up on most mornings. Bolt slowly rose from his sleeping position and gave himself a quick shake, and yawned. He tried to quietly leave the room as Penny was still asleep. And to his surprise the cat, who was at once thought to be his enemy and now one of his best friends, was not on Penny's other side.
"Mittens… awake," he thought to himself and the idea was almost strange and humorous because that cat loved her sleep whether it is through the night or just a cat nap. The male dog with snow fur chuckled to himself at the thought of his witty kitty snoozing the day away and yet looking adorable at the same time. But this time around it would seem that she had beaten him to the punch… or rather waking up. He left Penny's room and looked around for his friend.
"Good morning Rhino," he said as he noticed the hamster ball reflecting the sun onto other surfaces on the couch. Though he received no answer for this greeting and he moved closer only to find that the hamster was up there but that more so he wasn't.
"He's asleep, he must have been up all night," he said to himself shaking his head but smiling as that was the rhino he had come to know and love. He then went to the kitchen to find his bowl completely full and Mitten's bowl (that was very close in proximity) was empty. Even though he wanted to keep looking for the feline friend of his he felt his stomach wake up and growl from hunger so he stopped his search to guzzle down every bit of the dry dog food. It didn't take him long to finish his breakfast and to follow it with none stop water lapping. When he was finally done and his stomach satisfied he continued looking for Mittens. He checked her litter box and she was nowhere near, she wasn't in any of her normal spots and even though that would include many locations it didn't take him long to notice she was not present in any of them.
"She's not in her bed, or in any of the window ceils… where could she be, the sun light would have been the best there and yet," he couldn't think of what to say or what to feel although he know he was feeling worried because he cared about her a lot. He whimpered as he felt lost and sat there for a moment.
"Hey Bolt what's the matter?" Rhino asked him in a sleepy tone which surprised Bolt though he had made enough noise to wake him up. He looked at the hamster in his ball and noticed his eyes were now glued to the "magic box" and not towards the dog he had just started conversation with.
"Hey Rhino, nothing's wrong, I just haven't seen Mittens this morning," he said and tried to hide the sadness that was in his voice though he didn't know why.
"She is probably sleeping in Penny's room or something like that," he said and still didn't change where his eye contact was. Bolt shook his head at what the rodent said.
"No I already checked when I woke up, she wasn't there and I have been looking around for here and she isn't in her normal places," he said and Rhino looked away from the screen with a grin on his face.
"You mean that cat woke up before you," he said in both humor and disbelief and it was this reaction that made Bolt laugh a little.
"Yeah she did, and I know she normally is cat napping or sleeping but this is why I was so surprised to see her awake but nowhere to be found," he said and tried to think of where she could be.
"So you have been looking all morning," Rhino said but a more of a guess.
"Well yes and no, I haven't been up very long but besides eating I have been looking for Mittens and still I have found not a single trace of her," he said and Rhino paused for a moment before speaking.
"Maybe she doesn't want to be found at the moment," he said and Bolt looked confused.
"Why would she want that?" He asked.
"Well everyone needs some time to themselves every once and awhile and some need it even more than that. Maybe Mittens needs time to think about something that has been on her mind and this is the opportunity to do so," Rhino said and Bolt couldn't help but note the hamster's wisdom.
"Where did that come from?" he asked.
"I've been watching a lot of psychic evaluations," he said and Bolt shrugged his shoulders, not having a clue on what those were or how Rhino would find them.
"Thanks for the advice Rhino," he said and Rhino smiled before zoning out into the "magic box" and Bolt walked towards the door which held his doggy door in place. 'If Rhino is right I wonder what Mittens had on her mind and if there was anything we could do or I could do to help her' he thought to himself for a moment before a scent hit his noise and he recognized it as the scent of the cat he had been looking for it was Mittens' scent and this made his tail wag.
"Why didn't I check out here earlier," he said to himself and followed the scent to the end of the porch where he saw his friend.
"Hey Mittens," he said happily but received no reply and when he got closer to her he realized with a shock, Mittens wasn't moving.
