CHAPTER ONE:
Kyle opened his eyes slowly, looking around at his surroundings. He yawned and stretched before sitting up. He groomed his fluffy, ginger fur before looking around for his siblings. He was normally the last one up, so he always had trouble finding his brothers and sisters when he wanted to play with them. He turned around to face his mother.
"Mama? Where is everyone?" he asked. "I want to play!"
His mother slowly opened her emerald green eyes and looked at her son. "I believe they went somewhere into that town over their with their father," she yawned.
Kyle blinked. "Oh, okay! Is it safe for me to go alone? Or do you have to come with me?" he asked.
"Give me a second, and I'll come with you." His mother replied.
"Okay Mom!" Kyle purred. He was excited; he'd never been in a town before.
He jumped up and down in happily, barely able to control himself. Running over to a tree nearby, he dug his claws into it, slowly dragging himself up the tree. He had only just recently learned how to climb trees, and wouldn't stop until he had gotten it right for some reason. He was pretty good at climbing trees for a beginner. Spotting a hole in the tree, he crawled up into it, enjoying the view. He could see the town he would soon enter with his mom. It was truly a beautiful view, with the sunrise and birds flying around and singing. He was about to climb higher until he heard his mother calling him.
"I'm ready, sweetie! Let's go into the town."
Kyle jumped out of the hole and onto a branch below. "Coming, mom!"
He continued to jump from branch to branch, slowly making his way down. He finally reached the bottom and began to purr as his mother came over and licked his forehead.
"Let's go!" He mewed, running ahead.
"Not so fast, hon. It's not as safe as it looks, stay by me at all times until we find your father and siblings." The beautiful white she-cat meowed.
Kyle instantly stopped and turned around, waiting for his mom. "Okay, mama!"
His mother smiled kindly at him before walking right past him. Smiling back, he jogged over to be right beside her and purred loudly.
It wasn't long before they reached the town of South Park.
The tiny kitten jumped up. "Wow! It's even cooler than I thought!" Kyle said, running forwards, straight for a road.
His mother's eyes opened wide. "Stop!" She screeched, jumping forwards.
Her son immediately stopped, turning around. "What is it? What's wrong?" he mewled, looking around. Suddenly he heard a loud noise and turned to look, seeing a large strange machine running right at him.
The young kitten yowled and instantly ran off of the road and under his mother's belly. He whined loudly while shivering. "Mom! What was that thing?" he cried.
The white she-cat sighed loudly. "Don't ever do that again." She hissed. "And I've heard some humans call them cars, or something like that… humans ride in them, but they can be deadly if you're hit by one. I lost my brother to one…."
Kyle looked up at his mother, scared. "What if one of them comes after me again?"
The she-cat's frown turned into a smile. "It's fine. As long as you stay away from those dark paths, you'll be all right. They only travel on those things."
Kyle smiled. "Okay ma! I'll be more careful next time!" he mewed happily.
His mother purred loudly. "You better," she meowed, picking her son up by the scruff.
She slowly approached the dark path, looking around for and cars. Once she was certain it was safe, she jogged over to the other side, Kyle dangling limply from her jaws. Right when she made it to the other side, she let her kit go.
She sniffed the air, hoping to pick the scent of her family up, but couldn't seem to smell them. She stretched and looked down at Kyle. "Are you hungry?"
Kyle nodded and smiled. "Yeah! But what's there here to eat?" he asked curiously.
"Oh, you just wait and see…" his mother purred, walking down the sidewalk, looking for a good-smelling building.
After a few minutes, she picked up the smell of a restaurant. "Ah… here we go. Follow me," she meowed, trotting off.
Kyle flicked his ear before following his mother down the street. She made a sudden turn into a strange enclosed place, but he had to admit, it did smell amazing.
"Mom, what is this place?" he asked curiously.
His mother jumped up onto a dumpster, looking inside of it. "We're at a place called a restaurant. It's where food is served, but only humans are allowed in. Trust me, the food's a lot better when it's fresh, but the stuff that's thrown out here is pretty good, too."
Kyle nodded. "Sounds good!" he purred.
The pretty she-cat jumped in, looking for something good to eat. Kyle looked up in curiosity, standing up on his hind legs to try and get a better view.
Moments later, his mother jumped out, with some fish in her mouth. She dropped the fish on the ground, Kyle excitingly jumping at it, taking a bite.
"Delicious! I've never tasted anything better!" Kyle purred loudly, wagging his little tail, taking another bite.
His mother crouched down beside her son, taking a bite. "I'm guessing you like it, huh Kyle?"
Kyle nodded, licking his lips. His mother just simply smiled before having some more of the fish.
It wasn't too long before it was finished.
"Are you still hungry, dear?" the longhaired she-cat asked.
Kyle thought for a moment. "No."
His mother nodded. "Okay, let's go find your siblings and father, then."
Kyle jumped up, smiling. "Okay, ma!" he purred loudly.
He followed his mother as she walked off. He noticed her sniffing the air, so he decided that he'd do the same and try picking up his family's scent. Since it wasn't really working, he decided to just look around for his siblings. He spotted a large yellow building with lots of children in front of it. Kyle was getting a bit curious, so he decided to walk over to it. He sprinted across the road, too lazy to look. His mother looked behind her, not spotting her son. She got a little worried, but then saw him safely on the other side of the street. She growled and ran over to him. "Where do you think you're going?"
Kyle looked over at his mother. "Oh, sorry ma! This place just looked a little interesting, so I decided to come over…"
The she-cat looked at her son angrily. "I told you to not leave my side. It's dangerous out here. You already nearly got hit by a car; I don't want you interacting with these human children. They might steal you away from me."
Kyle looked up, a bit frightened. "R-really?" he said, shocked. "I don't want them taking me away from you!" he rubbed against his mother, both of them purring.
They pulled away from each other. "Come on, let's look for your brothers and sisters," the she-cat meowed, starting to walk away.
"Oka-" Kyle was interrupted when he heard the sound of children approaching him. He turned around, letting out a confused mewl. A shaky boy with blond hair and another boy wearing all blue was standing right in front of him. The blond-haired boy bent down.
"Aw, he's so cute! Should I keep him?" he said.
"I'm not sure. Would you be allowed to keep him?" the other boy asked.
"Yeah, probably! I can run home right now and put him in my room."
"Oh, okay, you go do that then. I'll come over later, then."
Kyle looked at them, pretty much ignoring everything they had to say.
Wow… I get to see a human up close! How cool!
Suddenly the blond-haired boy reached for the kitten, but before he could grab the kitten, Kyle's mother ran over and hissed loudly before picking up her son and running off.
The two boys stared at the mother run off with her kit.
"Jeez…" the shaky boy said, while the other one stuck up the middle finger to the cat.
Kyle's mother dropped him once they were a good distance away from the school.
"I thought you were following me," she hissed.
Kyle looked down at his paws, not knowing what to say.
"I told you to stay away from the humans," she continued. "They tried to take you away from me."
The ginger kitten sighed. "I'm sorry, ma. It won't happen again."
"It better not… Now you're not to leave my side again, got that?" she growled.
Kyle nodded, not wanting to speak. His mother started to walk off again, Kyle slowly following her, ears down.
After a few moments of silence, Kyle finally spoke up. "That place seemed a little bit familiar… like I'd seen it before."
His mother looked down at him. "What… that's ridiculous, Kyle. You've never been there before."
"I know, but it just seemed so… familiar." Kyle mewed, looking down. He closed his eyes, beginning to think for a moment. Suddenly, a strange thought came to his mind.
He walked inside of the building, alongside three humans. But he was much taller, around their height. Once they entered the yellow building, he stopped in front of some sort of blue structure and began to interact with one of children he had walked into the building with.
But his thoughts were interrupted when he suddenly flicked his ear and looked over to the other side of the street, spotting one of his siblings run off.
"Mom, I think I saw Anna!" he said, running off into the middle of the strange dark path.
"Huh, what?" his mother replied, not exactly sure about what he said.
She heard a loud rumbling noise and looked over to her right, eyes opening in shock. A car was coming, and her son never even noticed.
Since Kyle couldn't see his sister anymore, he began to sit down and think about the strange thought he had. That was so weird… was I one of those human things? That thought came so randomly… Maybe that's why that place seemed so familiar? I don't know…
But his thoughts were interrupted once more when he heard his mother call out to him.
"Kyle! Watch out! Get out of the way!" she shrieked.
"Huh?" Kyle said, turning his head, only to see a large car coming straight for him.
He let out a large scream and crouched down, but was suddenly knocked out of the way. He landed on the sidewalk and looked over to see what had saved his life, only to see that it was his mother. His mother looked right back at him, staring into his eyes.
"I love you," she meowed, just before the car hit her.
Kyle screeched as he saw his mother get hit, her blood spilling everywhere. He ran over to her body in the middle of the street, curling up beside her. He instantly began crying.
"Mommy? Mommy? Can you hear me?" he cried loudly.
But there was no reply.
He sniffled. "Mama, wake up, please!"
But his mother stayed silent. There was no doubt about it; she was dead.
Blood got all over his paws and belly, but he didn't care. He was never going to see his mother again. He wished he had never entered the town. If he hadn't, then his mother would still be alive.
He ran off, not caring where he went. He honestly didn't care where he ended up; he just wanted to get away. He turned into a dark alley and curled up in a corner, weeping loudly. If only he had stayed by her side like she had asked.
