Remembrance

by VectorSigma101

Sequel to "Retribution": Skip's never been nothing more than a simple tom—simple if you don't count his recent amnesia. He can't recall anything from the past six moons, and he's lost more than ever. Lost in the Twoleg Place and surrounded by a variety of interesting characters, Skip must learn to adapt to his new surroundings quickly, before the darkness consumes him.

1. Prologue

Here's the sequel to Retribution! It's a little different than the previous book, but I think you'll like it. ^^

Huh? Who goes there? Identify yourself intruder! Speak now or—oh, sorry. I just thought you were an enemy, but now I can see that you're just a pair of harmless kittypets; I should've heard your obnoxious bells jingle from clicks away. Oh, and let me unlatch my claws from your belly…sorry, it's a force of habit.

So Caspian told ya where I was, huh? I should've known. He may be my best friend, but he sometimes can be kinda creepy when it comes to his senses. So what can I do for you? …you want to hear my story? Seriously? Not many cats journey here to hear my story…most of the time they just want our help and leave without a second thought. ...Really? Hah, I've been told that I'm a great skipper and all, but it never really sinks in. But of course I'll tell you my story. I've never told it before, especially not to a pair of curious kittypets. I didn't mean that as a bad thing, no, but I've been there and done that. I enjoy my freedom.

Well, let me start my tale with a question: how would you feel if you lost all of your memories? You wouldn't know where you came from, who your relatives were, nor who you really were! Well, that was me several seasons ago. I had no memories of who I was and was practically wandering around the Twoleg Place blind! I didn't know if someone was searching for me, and were they wondering if I was safe? I didn't know!

The important thing is that now nearly everyone knows who they are and where they belong. I belong here with my cats, Lyles belongs with the Flyers, my parents—

I'm getting ahead of myself. Get comfortable because we're going to be here for a while. Let's begin with our paws lashing out and water filling our lungs.
