Chapter 1
Tabitha Leon woke peacefully from her little cat nap. Stretching out her white paws and shaking her fluffy body, she let out a wide-mouthed yawn.
She gradually started to lift herself off her comfy pet bed that was covered with pillow upon pillow, each a new bright colour. She slowly moved in small circles, trying to walk out of her sleepiness.
Once fully awake, she glided across to her pink food bowl that was bejewelled with the brightest shining gems and jewels one could find, and began to hungrily much on the juicy steak and kidney bits it contained. She had to get her energy up if her mission was to be successful.
Since that erratic and confused Professor had changed her into this form, she had always had her claws in it for him. And tonight was the night, the night she would finally get her revenge.
Tabitha licked her lips slyly with anticipation, picturing Professor Pike's shocked and flustered face when he is to set foot in his muddle of a classroom the following day.
From before Tabitha had joined H.I.V.E. to teach the methods of Stealth and Evasion to its many students, she had learned that a cat in gloves catches no mice. So if it meant that she had to cause a little...let's call it discomfort, she was all for it.
Tabitha anxiously peered at the large clock that hung against the wall.
It was time.
She quickly made her way to the large metal door that enclosed her quarters, an extra bounce of excitement in each step.
Sitting still, Tabitha waited for the retinal scanner beside the door to grant her access after scanning her cat like eyes.
There was a faint humming sound and a partition in the door gave way, revealing a domestic cat door, complete with flap and all.
Bringing her front legs almost level to the ground and her backside high in the air, she pounced forward.
Shwip!
Tabitha landed firmly on all fours on the other side of the metal door in the corridor, still managing to remain poised and proper.
It was empty and still, but she knew that every now and then Colonel Francisco and his men would patrol through the different corridors of H.I.V.E. One could never be too careful in a school where villainy is accepted with open arms.
In addition there could also be the mysterious Raven gliding through the darkness of the many shadows the corridors cast.
Pussyfooting around, Tabitha slowly made her way around the labyrinth of corridors, ensuring that she took the needed caution.
