Book 1: Alpha
Hey again, I've got another chapter of the story all set for you guys, so let's just get started.
Chapter 2: Moonheart
When I awoke, I stretched out luxuriously, allowing my white tail tip to show through the window. A split second later, I physically pulled my tail back down and quickly took a deep breath. All of the scents were muddled, and even though I was able to sort most of them out, I couldn't tell what they were or if they were stale or not.
After a minute of internal debating, I peeked my head over the window and glanced around the park. There were no signs of life except for the occasional rat, so I opened the door and padded stealthily out of the Ferris wheel. After carefully making my way to the entrance of the Theme Park without any problems, however, the second I stepped onto the street, I heard a yowling voice. "Cat! Let's get him and see if he's the one!"
Not even bothering to turn around to see my pursuers, I ran as fast as I could down the main street. I could feel the hot breath of the dogs on my heels, when I noticed the street sign ahead. It displayed "Drake Blvd."
"My apartment!" I gasped, turning into a dull red building that was on the corner. I ran up the stairs and looked back over my shoulder to see what was chasing me. "Two dachshunds; they wouldn't be a problem if their leader wasn't a damned Rottweiler!" I thought angrily, slipping through a cat-flap and nearly crashing into the couch.
I could hear what I believed to be the Rottweiler's voice, and he was pissed, "you two, follow him! I can't fit into that door!" I instinctively unsheathed my claws and whirled around to face the dogs.
When they burst through the flap, I leapt at the nearest one and landed square on his back. I found myself face-to-face with the other dachshund, but before I could even react, I saw a lithe black shape jump down from the counter on the side of the door, knocking down the dog. I bit hard on the dog's ear that I was holding, tasting its foul blood, bitter in my mouth. It yelped in pain, and I raked my back claws across the short, tough fur on his back.
I glanced at the other dog and noticed that my savior snarled and bared its teeth as the dog raced back through the flap. The dog I was holding onto collapsed, so I let go and hopped off, watching with a grimace as a pool of blood was forming on my carpet.
"Hello," the black cat said, gazing curiously at me, "I don't believe we've met, though you smell vaguely familiar. My master called me-"
"Moonheart," I interrupted, "I am your master. However, don't use my human name, it might raise suspicions, call me Iceclaw from now on." Her eyes stretched wide in disbelief, and then she gazed deeply into my, now cloudy, eyes.
"J-I mean Iceclaw," she mewed, cutting off to correct herself, "You were the one that was spared from becoming dust? Or worse…a dog?" I nodded, and she continued, "That means you're the one that can save us from these mutts…"
A flash of both pride and worry shot through my pelt when she said that, but I managed to shrug it off. "Moonheart, do you know any other cats? Such as some strays, which could help us?"
Moonheart sat on her haunches, curling her long black tail over her paws, and closed her eyes. After a moment, she breathed out, as if coming out of a meditation. "Yes, there is a small band of strays not to far from here. The truth is, I used to visit them while you slept, and have been doing so for three months now."
I nodded, and managed to work my tail to rest on her shoulder, "it's alright," hope was flaring in my chest, this could be the answer I was looking for! "Your connection to these strays may be what I need to save us all." I glanced at the door, "however, we'll need to find a way past that dog somehow."
Moonheart nodded, and a slightly evil smirk started playing across her face. "I think I have an idea for that."
Cliffhanger?! No! Heh, well, this was the best place I could think of to stop. So, what will these strays be like? Can I save the Earth from the domination of the dogs? You'll just have to keep reading! Oh, and review, or you'll end up like the Dachshund I got a hold of!
