Get ready for chapter three. Once again, thank you JR for the advice.
Jade woke up and looked around the room. The kittens looked like one big ball of fur all snuggled up together. Mittens had her head under Bolt's chin. She was smiling and the tip of her tail was twitching. Seeing this, Jade guessed where the kittens had come from. This disappointed her a little bit because she and Bolt were almost the same breed. Bolt was just from the white breed of shepherds. Mittens does look cute with him though. Jade thought to herself. She really liked Bolt but Mittens was already his so Jade told herself to live with it.
Bolt woke up and saw Jade staring at him. He used his eyes to point at Mittens. Jade nodded and sighed. She knew what he meant. Bolt slowly moved away from Mittens, trying not to wake her up. He finally made it and walked into the next room with Jade. "Alright Jade, here's the thing." Bolt began. "I know you like me, but Mittens and I are mates. I can't change that. I love her more than anything. Now, I love you as a friend, but not as a mate. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" Bolt said. Jade nodded. "Yeah I understand. Hm, you two looked so cute snuggled up like that." She said. Bolt blushed.
"Oh… um… we were just…" Bolt was to embarrassed to make much since. Jade grinned and walked out of the room. Bolt watched her leave. She had swished her tail from side to side as she walked out. Bolt smiled and shook his head. Bolt went outside and sat down. There weren't any patches of sun yet. Bolt barely even noticed. A few minutes later, the sun was up and Macy came outside to join Bolt. Becky came too and the three of them talked for a long time, not noticing the infected dog watching them from a distance.
Socks and Flame joined Bolt and the two girls a few minutes later. The infected creature slowly crept towards Becky. Then, without warning, it sprang into the air, and dove towards Becky. Bolt had seen it right before it jumped. He spun around almost instantly and knocked the infected dog to the ground. It quickly got back up. This time, it went for Bolt. Then, to everyone's horror, the dog bite into Bolt left front leg. Bolt started thrashing wildly to fling the being off. He succeeded and the dog crashed into a building.
Somehow, Bolt hadn't been affected by the bite. He wondered if he would be able to safely travel from the basement to the store without having to worry. He wasn't eager to find out though. He just assumed he was lucky and the dog had run out of it's poisonous saliva. It stung like crazy bit at least Bolt didn't become infected. Bolt pushed the kittens into the building and locked the door. "Are you okay Becky?" Bolt asked. Becky nodded and stared at the door. She was shaking, and she jumped when Mittens put an arm around her. Bolt looked at the rest of the kittens. "That's why I want you to listen to me when we're outside." He then turned to Mittens. "I'm sorry Mittens. I wasn't paying attention." He said. Mittens sighed. "At least no one was hurt." She said.
"Hey Bolt, you really are a super dog." Jade said. Mittens smiled. "Yep. He's my super dog." She said. Mittens saw the bite on Bolt's leg. She was horrified at the sight of it and looked at Bolt. "Are you-" "No. No I'm still me. I don't know why it didn't effect me." Bolt interrupted. Mittens was about to lick the wound but Bolt stopped her. "Just because it doesn't effect me, doesn't mean you won't be infected." He said. Mittens nodded and stopped. Then, Bolt's ears perked up and he told everyone to be quiet. "What is it?" Mittens asked. A smile spread across Bolt's face. "I think we are about to be rescued!" Bolt said. The kittens started running around and shouting. Mittens ran to hug Bolt but again, he stopped her. "Just to be safe, I don't want you to touch me until I can get looked at." He said.
Mittens nodded sadly. "Okay Bolt." She said. Bolt had heard an army squad coming into the building. They were seeking out the infected to take them out for good. Suddenly, the basement door burst open, and something was thrown into the room. The door closed again and a metallic object rolled in front of Bolt. Then, there was a flash of very bright light and a deafening bang. They all covered their eyes. Their ears were ringing and they could feel themselves being picked up and petted. The soldiers had used a flash bang to storm the basement. Flash bangs momentarily blind and deafen anyone in a room when it goes off. Bolt, Jade, Mittens and the kittens could see and hear after about twenty seconds. Jade licked the sergeant that picked her up.
The kittens purred and licked the fingers of the private that carried them. They were all taken to a helicopter and flown an animal shelter. The army's medical team cleaned Bolt's bite, and took some blood to make antidotes. They only took half a pint, but Bolt was still weak from this. Bolt and Mittens were separated from Penny and her Mom during the panic of the crowd on the day the infection spread. The army contacted Penny's mom and told her they had found Bolt and Mittens. Then they took them to the house, and the kittens and Jade were happily accepted into the home by Penny. Bolt jumped into her arms and licked her face. The kittens explored their new home, and Jade sat beside Penny on the couch with Bolt and Mittens. Sadly, Rhino had died while they were trapped on the island.
Bolt wanted to carry on Rhino's tradition of watching a movie every night. Jade enjoyed this very much. One night, they were watching a horror movie. Jade looked at Bolt. It was like he was entranced by the movie. Jade leaned against him and hoped he wouldn't notice. He did, but he only pulled her and Mittens closer to him. Jade smiled. This was good enough for her. She closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
That's the end of the story. Please tell me what you think of the kittens and Jade. I hope you enjoyed the story.
