Chapter Four: Do Not Insult My Cat!
"Gandalf!" I shrieked. Then I ran over to him, pushing Aragorn out of the way. I bent over and picked him up. "Oh my Gandalf, I have missed you." I then kissed the top of his head as he started to purr, I hugged him even tighter at this. You're choking me! "Oh I am sorry Gandalf." Immediately, I released him. I then turned to look at Aragorn. "This is Gandalf." Aragorn's mouth was hanging open; he had a look of total disbelief on his face. "That is not Gandalf. He fell, I saw him. That is nothing but a very ugly, stupid, annoying cat." Oh no, that was bad. I heard Miguelito's voice say in my head, and he was right. Anger overtook me immediately, how dare he insult my cat! I stepped towards him, I probably looked very, very, very angry, because Aragorn looked at me with complete fear in his eyes.
I stopped right in front him and calmly said, "Please do not insult my cat. You can insult anything else, just as long as it is not something I love. Understood?" He looked very surprised at how calmly I spoke, but nodded his head. I smiled and said, "Good."
Miguelito broke the tension by saying, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Aragorn then seemed to gain his composure again, because he added, "yes, we are wasting time. Leave anything that can be spared behind, we travel light." He then without another word he took off, this time making sure he didn't trip on anything. Miguelito smiled at me, good self control. I smiled back at him then heard, my cat's voice say, yes thank you for defending me, but I am going to go and see if I can get my claws into his heels! Good bye. I shook my head as I watched him run after Aragorn. Miguelito glanced at me then ran after Gandalf. I heard Gimli let out a roar of approval then I saw him take off after Miguel. I was just about to follow him when I felt a firm hand grab my upper arm and turn me around. I lost my footing, so when I was turned around; I bumped into Legolas' chest.
I avoided looking at his eyes, while I was trying to pull away, but he shook me to get me to stop. "How do we know we can rust you? After all you did appear here when the orcs attacked, you dress differently, you have a different accent, you act differently, and you look different." 'Help!' I pleaded with my mind. "um…well those are good points. But Aragorn trusts me, and he has not led you astray. You have my word, I am a perfectly nice person." I said with a smile, and then tried to pull away; he was starting to get me nervous and giddy.
He would not let me go when I tried again. "why won't you look into my eyes then?" I felt my cheeks grow hot. Still not looking at him, I said, "Umm…. Well….you see…" At that exact moment, I saw a ball of grey and white hissing fur; jump up onto a rock next to us. Legolas let go of me and prepared himself for the cat to attack, but I stepped in front of the cat and said out loud, "Gandalf! What do you think you are doing!" and in my mind said, 'Thank God! Thank you, Gandalf, you are a lifesaver!' Gandalf seemed to smirk and said, 'I highly doubt he would have killed you.' He stopped hissing, straightened himself out, and then liked his shoulder; as if nothing happened.
I shook my head, "Stupid cat." I turned and quickly said, "Come we are wasting time!" then turned and started to run in the direction everyone else went. 'Gandalf, come on, you old cat!' He jumped off the rock and ran beside me. 'I am not old!' I just laughed out loud.
THE END! L.O.L. just kidding! There is still more to come! Yes I know it is short, but oh well. I will try to make it longer next time, but please review, or I will send Gandalf to sink his claws into you!
