Dewpetal crawled through the dense brambles, her sleek fur occasionally snagging on a few thorns. Finally, she came to her destination: the twoleg border. She padded along the wooden sticks until she came to one particular place: Boar's house. She curled her tail around her paws, waiting patiently. Soon, a deep purring sounded in her ears.
"Hello, my love," Boar rumbled.
Dewpetal purred back. "Want to come hunt with me?"
"Whatever you want, honey."
Dewpetal traced her tail along his flank. "Come, I'll show you how to catch a rat. Twolegs dont like them, but they are quite tasty," she explained, leading him into the patch of catmint and marigold. This was a good supply for the medicine cat, so she always had an excuse to come.
Boar followed his mate into his Twoleg's garden. "Why don't you come in for some catnip first?" He asked, genuinely innocent.
Dewpetal purred gratefully, hiding her guilt. "Sure," she mewed, licking his ear affectionately. He was a remarkable mate, despite the fact that he was a kittypet...
Boar scratched on the closed opening of the twoleg den. When it opened, he dropped to the ground, rolling around and whining, and motioned for Dewpetal to do the same. The twoleg made a queer shaking rumbly noise and scooped them up, bringing them into the stuffy den. Dewpetal squirmed at first, but she realized the scent of catnip was near, and they were heading straight to it.
The twoleg set them down, and Dewpetal immediately started exploring. She came to a strange dent in the wall. Curiously, she licked it...
ZAP!
A great agonizing shock pulsed through her body before she spotted her tongue smoking, and fell unconsious.
When Dewpetal woke up, she discovered her beautiful creamy fur was all in patches and had a sooty smell. The little fur she had left was a forlorn gray. And she was lying on a cold flat surface that reeked of twoleg. She tried to get up, but failed as pain racked through her body and a splitting headache somehow concentrated on her tongue engulfed her. She once again fainted.
When she finally came to her senses again, Boar was standing a little way off in front of her. "Boar..." she moaned, sending bursts of pain along her body.
Disgusted, Boar backed away from her. "Ick, Dewpetal, you are so UGLY. And your voice is so scratchy and ancient," he spat. Dewpetal's eyes welled up with tears. "You don't love me because I'm ugly?" She whispered hoarsely.
Boar licked his paw, a look of pure contempt on his face."Who knew you would be so stupid as to electrocute yourself?"
