Chapter 2
"Oi Maxie, Fidget" I yelled at the two bats "Have you see Belle?" the pair shook their heads, I sighed and decided to go spy on Basil some more, when arrived at Baker Street I gasped. Belle was talking to Basil through the window "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I screamed "THE BOSS WILL KILL YOU" I chose my words very carefully "Keep away from me you rat!" I took a step back we agreed as kids we wouldn't mention our species. Suddenly my rage exploded and ran towards Belle, trying to keep my claws in. Basil suddenly opened the door and cried "Get inside Belle quick" Belle ran in and slammed the door while Basil locked the window. I ran back to Ratigan's lair. When I got back I stood against one of the walls, my cold blue eyes dull. Ratigan walked over to me and asked "Where's Belle? I've never seen you two apart" I felt tears start to well in my eyes, Ratigan noticed and handed me his handkerchief. I muttered my thanks and wiped away the tears. "What's happened?" I gulped and replied eventually "Belle's got with Basil" Ratigan's face suddenly went red
"WHAT?!" I jumped and explained what had happened. When I had finished I burst into tears "My best friends with the bane of my existence!" I then felt Ratigan's paw on my hair, he was stroking my blond hair. "It's Ok" he soothed gently I ended up crying on Ratigan's shoulder. I felt him stiffen, I then decided to pull away "Better?" he coughed I nodded and scurried away to my hammock, which was located in the top corner of the lair and closed my eyes. I was woken up in the middle of the night by a scream, it was Ratigan. I slid down the ladder and ran into Ratigan's room and started shaking his shoulders "Wake up Boss!" I yelled and Ratigan's eyes flee open and he started to look around "It's Ok" I said soothingly "Big Ben nightmare again?" he nodded and closed his eyes. I then left the room and climbed up the ladder to my hammock. I then snuggled up underneath my blankets and cuddled my stuffed frog (AN: I couldn't think of anything else). I looked at the empty hammock next to me where Belle usually slept, I reached out and grabbed a stuffed canary and pulled it close. I then ripped off my black gloves and started shredding the canary and when I was finished I threw what was left over the side of hammock and then pulled my gloves back on. I then threw my head on my pillow and silently sobbed.
