The morning had gone by so very strange. It was irregular, and even though other mornings hadn't followed the usual model this once stuck out. That being said time had slowed down around Bolt as he found his "frozen" kitty. He tried to run to her but he found that he couldn't move, couldn't breathe. His paws forced their way from the wooden floor but they moved slow, too slow for his worry to coupe. He fought on and started to move faster than he was before.
"Mittens," he called to her and noticed with pain that she didn't look back; she said nothing in the form of a reply. He jumped onto the railing of the porch that she was standing on, it wasn't easy but he clawed his way up and managed to get a grip.
"Mittens please answer me, say something," he begged as once again he was slowed down by some force the closer he got to her, the slower he felt. He was about to reach her, lick her, brush against her, annoy her, play with her, anything to snap her out of it. But it was upon him getting within an inch or two away from her that she gasped and then fell off of the rail onto her side.
Bolt had time to say nothing as he watched his friend hit the porch with a thud, he jumped after her and landed awkwardly, trying to get to his friend as fast as possible. She wasn't moving, her sides, or at least the one that wasn't against the porch was moving but oh so slightly. He didn't know what to do, how to react, he wanted to go get Penny or her mom to help or get help, but he didn't want to leave the feline's side. He heard a noise for a second and saw Rhino rolling by.
"Rhino," he called to him.
"Yes Bolt," he called back, making his way to the white dog.
"I need you to try and get Penny or her mother out her," he said and Rhino in a bolt of energy and excitement made his way back into the house. Seeing the little orange hamster's energy for such a strange and challenging mission made him smile but he then looked back at Mittens and his heart sank. He began to lick her furiously again and again and again. Her fur became matted and wet, it was a funny sight to behind but this didn't stop him. No matter how mad she would be, it would be worth it if and when she woke up.
After a while his tongue was getting tired, he felt like he had a fur ball in his throat, and Mittens… well she looked like she had been in a flood. He whimpered and begged the unconscious cat to wake up and nudged her with his noise. When he was about to give up her heard a faint cough and quickly began to lick her face again, her eyes blinked slowly and he began to lick quicker.
"B…bolt… what," she said slowly most likely wondering why he was licking her basically to death. His tail began to wag and he felt his heart beat faster; he licked faster and faster until she shook her head. This finally caused him to stop and he sat there panting.
"Mittens I was so worried… you weren't moving," he said and she blinked for a moment as if she couldn't believe what had happened… or she knew all too well that it had.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about this cat," she said and although normally that wouldn't had a single note of doubt in her voice and there would be that sly confidence that she had always shown him, he began to realize it wasn't there this time. He wanted to ignore this thought but he knew he couldn't; besides he had other questions for her.
"Why weren't you moving?" he asked Mittens who didn't answer.
"You were breathing at least, are you sick or something?" he asked and again she didn't answer.
"Did you not want to see me?" he asked her and she didn't answer but in her eyes he could see pain. She wanted to say something but she might not have been able too. He didn't care at that moment if anything she would have said would have hurt him, all he cared about was keeping his kitty friend safe and out of harm.
"It's happening again," was all that she said to him and this both peaked his interest and concerned him more so. He was prompted with more questions which were going to spill out no matter what.
"What's happening again?"
"How many times as it happened before?"
"Is it bad?"
"Can I help you in any way?"
"Did someone hurting you?"
"Is there anything you can tell me?"
The questions rattled out of him quickly as he almost begged for an answer. He felt a bit of a whimper so there was an actual amount of begging involved. And as he nudged his noise into her still wet side he felt her tense boy slowly trying to relax.
"I know something is bothering you Mittens. No matter what it is I am here for you and so is Rhino and Penny and her mom. You're not alone," he words seemed to echo in the air around him, and in his head and hers as well. There was nothing said for what felt like a long time. The sun was starting to rise and Mittens noticed that her fur wasn't as damp as before. They looked at each other and Bolt nodded.
"You don't have to tell me anything… just remember what I said," he said to her and it was this that prompted her to nod and open her mouth.
"Bolt, it's hard to explain and even harder to say out loud… but I just keep getting-," she began to say but stopped when the door opened harshly and Penny ran to the cat with worry in her eyes and tone.
