Hello my lovely readers! I'm updating again! I'm in a good mood tonight, don't know why.

"Well, we're free," I said.

Two looked out the door, golden eyes wide. "Wow," she breathed. "I never thought I'd see that again!"

We all looked at her curiously. "See what again?" Five asked.

Two frowned as the memory seemed to fade. "I don't know. The sun, I guess..." She didn't sound very convinced by her answer.

"We should go," I said. "The Kraang might find out that we're gone." I carefully stepped out of the door, expecting a Kraang laser in the back at any moment. But it didn't come, and I waved the rest of my friends outside.

I made it about five steps out the door before I stopped to lean against the wall that enclosed the little yard outside the Kraang facility. My ears flattened against my head. "It's so loud and smelly," I said shakily. It must have been even worse for Six, with her large rabbit ears. The sounds and smells assaulted my heightened cat senses from all sides, making my head pound.

Five made a doglike whimpering sound, then got himself together. Like I said, he acts like a dog occasionally. Some problem with his mutation or something. "It certainly is very...chaotic," he agreed.

"Someone's coming!" Six exclaimed suddenly.

"Hide!" One said, fluttering up into the air. We all scattered into the shadows. I crouched behind a large box of something or other, watching the yard. After a moment three people can in.

They definitely weren't Kraang. They were too bulky. I caught a glint of metal on one of them; they were armed. I caught a few words.

"-want to break into his own place? Think this stuff through, Leo! Lets move! Oh...heheh." A young voice snickered nervously.

"Lets move," repeated a sterner voice. He sounded annoyed. They lifted up the door and went in.

After a few seconds I moved from my place and waved the others out of hiding. "What was that all about?" Three asked, gesturing to the door the odd trio had just gone through.

I shook my head. "No idea. Maybe we should get off the streets," I suggested.

"Where would we go?" Six asked. I noticed that her ears dropped slightly. She was tired and upset.

I glanced toward the roofs. "We could go above them."

"Above them?" Two repeated. "How?"

I pointed to a fire escape. "We climb."

And climb we did. The fire escape wasn't to hard for any of us, since Three was big enough to give us all boosts when we needed it. One simply fluttered up, and Six took advantage of her rabbit DNA to hop up. When we got up, I looked around, mouth open in awe. The silvery moonlight highlighted the sharp corners of the buildings. Farther off, a line of blue marked the ocean. I felt myself tense up to run. Funny how your body remembers things our brain doesn't. I had a sudden urge to run and leap along the roofs, and never stop. I held myself back, and instead looked around for somewhere to stay. Eventually we settled on the top floor of an abandoned looking building. The stairs had collapsed, making access from the ground floor basically impossible, but part of the roof had fallen in and allowed us to enter. Settling in did not take long. We moved aside the worst of the rubble and cleared an area to sleep in. After that was done, I looked out again. I still wanted to run, to release the pent up energy inside me.

Three saw my look and nodded. "Go ahead, Cat. We can take care of things here."

I smiled gratefully. "See you later, alligator!" I scrambled up onto the roof and took off running. I savored the feeling of wind rushing over my face, blowing my hair around and ruffling my fur. I came to the edge of the roof and jumped, barely slowing down. I was weightless for a moment, suspended in the air. Then I landed and continued. I don't know how long I ran, simply enjoying the feeling of being free. But when I'd finally stopped, near a big black spire shaped building, the moon had moved noticeably.

I looked at the building. Why did it seem like I should remember it? It felt so familiar, just out of reach. I sighed with frustration at not being able I remember anything. It would be nice of I could remember something. A face, a name, a pet, anything at all that might give me a clue to who I was.

I looked at the moon again. It might have moved slightly, but I couldn't tell. I turned to head back to our new home. Even if I couldn't remember anything, I was free. And nothing was ever going to take me or my friends back to that place. Ever.

So, I finally finished the chapter. Woohoo! Sorry it took so long. I had a mild case of writers block, but I think I'm over it. I hope you liked it!
