6/6/14

Hey everyone. :)

I'm so glad I got to update and I'm so sorry I haven't updated in almost a year. My old computer broke, and I don't have the money to get a new one. That plus I have had a lot of school work.

I'm currently saving up money for a laptop so as soon as I get one I'll be able to update way much more often.

Anyway, here's chapters 4-6. I'm halfway done with chapter 7 so I'll update that once I get back from my grandmother's house, so that should be in 2-3 weeks. She doesn't have a computer or internet. :(

Kat groaned loudly as he heard the high pitched calls coming from the downstairs.

Honestly, couldn't the girl give me a few minutes of peace?

Kat slowly trudged his way down the stairs and into the living room. As he passed he could see Mr. Burtonburger sitting on the sofa, watching the TV. As he walked passed him he thought about his upcoming plans.

Megan will be coming within the next three days, which means I'll have to make sure there's no humans there to see it. I'll also have to set up some sort of alarm around the area, just in case a certain uninvited guest decides to drop by. I'll have to get there tonight to get everything started.

A smile spread across his face at the thought of his little sister. Soon he'll get to see her face to face, and with her help he could finally be done with this mission.

Kat was harshly torn from his thoughts as another high pitched scream rang throughout the house.

"MR. KAAAT!" Millie screamed from the backyard.

Kat groaned loudly as he walked through the kitchen.

Maybe I should try and sneak past her. If I go to the landing point now I could start scoping out the area, and I'll be too far away to hear the full effects of Millie's siren scream.

Kat flinched as he heard another high pitched yell.

Yes. I should definitely head to the landing point.

Having made up his mind, Kat quickly climbed up onto the counter top just underneath the kitchen window. Looking out the window he could see Coop and Dennis, still playing catch by the fence, and Millie looking around the back of the shed searching for him. He watched her intently, making sure she was far enough away, he quietly opened the window and silently pounced into nearest bush.

Now, all I have to do is wait for her to go-

"Millie, do you mind helping me find my glasses?" Mr. Burtonburger called from the living room. "I can't seem to find them, and I'm as blind as a bat without them."

Millie's little head popped up from underneath the bushes she had been looking through.

"Coming Daddy!" Millie yelled back as she scampered back into the house.

Kat let out a sigh of relief as he heard the back door slide shut behind her.

Easier then I thought.

Kat quickly shook himself out of the bushes, and made his way to the back of the yard. From there he would make his way through the neighboring woods in the back, and straight to the landing point. The dense amounts trees would work wonderfully to lore away any noisy campers or hikers that may come by.

Just as he was about to make it to the end of the yard, he heard the distinct whistle of an object flying through the air. His instincts kicked in, and he quickly jumped out of the way, successfully dodging two baseballs as they flew right past him. Kat's head quickly snapped in the direction of the balls' source and was met with the sight of none other than Coop and Dennis. The former having a slick smile on his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry Kat. Did those balls almost hit you?" Coop said haughtily. Dennis was smirking beside him and gave Coop a thumbs up.

"To bad we missed," Dennis said

Kat glared heatedly at them both.

I don't have time for these morons now.

Kat glanced over at the two balls Coop and Dennis had thrown at him and a thought came to mind.

This will keep those two busy for a while.

Kat slowly picked up the two balls, clenching them tightly in his claws. He could see both boys getting into their fighting positions as they waited for Kat to make the next move. He smirked haughtily as he saw both of the boys tense in anticipation.

As expected.

Kat's arm shot out like lightning and both the balls were quickly shot towards them, whistling loudly as they sliced through the air.

Coop and Dennis stared in shocked silence as the balls flew past them, smashing soundly into the fence behind. Coop turned his head to look behind them, seeing where the balls had smashed straight through the fence. He quickly looked back at the smirking feline ahead of them.

"What are you smirking about? You missed!" Coop yelled.

Now, who said I was aiming at you? Kat thought, as he heard the distinct stomping of large feet.

"Huh?" Coop said as a large shadow came over them. He turned around quickly to look into the red, scowling face of Old Lady Munson. Her face had taken on a deep shade of red and her arms laid at her sides, shaking with suppressed anger.

Both boys gulped loudly at the sight, frozen in fear.

"BURTONBURGER!" She yelled loudly, the very ground seemed to shake with its volume. Coop flinched and placed his hands over his ears as her yelling abused his eardrums.

Coop could see Dennis doing the same, his eyes wide with fear as the waited to see what she would do next.

Coop's dad and Millie quickly ran outside, a tired look on his face as he took in the scene before him.

"Hello Old- I mean, Ms. Munson," Mr. Burtonburger said quickly before turning his eyes onto Coop and Dennis.

"Why, and how did you two break a hole directly through the fence?!" Mr. Burtonburger yelled angrily, as his finger pointed to the two large holes in the fence.

"And more importantly, you two little hooligans smashed three of my lawn gnomes!" Ms. Munson added loudly.

"Dad it wasn't us! It was Millie's stupid cat!" Coop yelled in their defense, pointing in the direction of the feline, only to see that the nuisance wasn't even there.

"Coop, don't you lie to me! Not only are you blaming a cat, but you're blaming a cat that isn't even here! Besides, you can't expect me to believe that a cat had picked up two heavy baseballs and managed to throw them straight throw a fence!" Mr. Burtonburger yelled.

Coop clenched his fist in anger as his face lit up in embarrassment. Oh, once he gets his hands on that cat, he'll-

"That's it! Coop, you and Dennis are both grounded," Mr. Burtonburger said.

"What!?" Coop and Dennis said in unison.

"For two weeks, and you'll both be out here all afternoon until you finish fixing this fence," He said in finality.

"And you two will be over at my house to clean up all the mess you've made," Ms. Munson added gruffly, before she turned to stomp back into her house.

"But-" Coop said.

"NO BUTS!" Mr. Burtonburger yelled. "I don't know why you keep doing this, but I will not have you blaming a cat for your mistakes. Your fifteen now, Coop. It's time you start taking responsibility for your actions."

Coop's mouth dropped in shock as his father glared down at him.

WHAT?!

"For the next two weeks there will be no video games, no TV, no internet, and no sports. Do I make myself clear?" He said sternly looking between the two boys.

"...Yes sir." Coop said

"Yes, Mr. Burtonburger." Dennis answered in return.

"Good. I'll be back in two minutes with some thin wood for you two to cover up these holes. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get some wood to replace the broken ones in the fence," Mr. Burtonburger said, raking his hands through his hair as a long, tired sigh escaped his lips.

"I'll be back in a bit, so don't either of you two move while I'm gone. Millie, why don't you help me get the wood and nails from inside?"

"Okay Daddy," Millie said sweetly. As they went to go back into the house, she turned her head to stick her tongue out at the two boys standing next to the broken fence.

Coop's teeth clenched together in frustration as he watched his sister skipped her way back into the house. He was going to kill that cat!

. . .

Kat ran as soon as he saw the woman come into sight. Barely making it away before the mere sound of her screaming could shatter his sensitive ears.

He stopped at a nearby clearing as he listened to the surrounding forest.

And no humans in sight. He thought as he looked around.

Kat snickered softly to himself as he remembered the look on the old woman's face before he ran off.

No doubt, she'll still be yelling at those two by the time I get back, Kat thought as he let out another laugh.

Kat let himself laugh for another moment before calming himself. Taking in a deep breath, he let his senses take over. His ears twitched softly atop his head as he let the sounds of the forest wash over him. His hearing almost instantly magnified.

He could hear the squirrels in the trees, and the insects down below. He concentrated harder as he waited for the sound of human footsteps.

Hearing none, he let himself fall back into his crouching possession, his paws moving swiftly as he quietly made his way through the forest. The only sound to be heard was the soft padding of footsteps, and the whoosh of the wind as he cut through the air.

. . .

As Coop nailed another piece of wood into the fence, he could hear his dad's words repeating in his head.

"It's time you start taking responsibility for your actions." Coop hammered harder as his blood started to boil.

"I will not have you blaming a cat for your mistakes." Coop slammed the hammer down hard, causing the rest of the wood to vibrate harshly from his force.

He couldn't believe this!

Take responsibility for himself?! He'd been taking responsibility for the protection of the whole planet, and his dad tells him he needs to be more responsible for himself?!

Coop growled in frustration and kicked his foot against the bottom of the fence. Hot pain shot through his foot as he did so.

"Dammit!" Coop swore loudly. Dennis turned around from his work to look at his best friend.

"You okay, Coop?" Dennis asked as he watched his friends hop up and down on one foot, only to fall on his butt.

Coop let out a long groan before meeting his friend's eyes.

"Yeah I'm okay," Coop answered "I just can't stand that stupid cat! How is it that we work so hard to stop him, but I still get blamed for everything he does?!" Coop yelled in frustration as he rubbed his sore foot.

Dennis gave his friend a sympathetic look.

"I don't know what to tell you, Coop. I understand you're mad, but it's not going to help if you just have a tantrum about it," Dennis said as he moved to sit beside him.

"And it's not like you're alone. I'm always going to be right beside you, no matter what that naked rat does!" Dennis said with a broad smile on his face. Coop stopped rubbing his foot and place his arm around his friend in a one armed hug.

"Thanks Dennis. You're a real friend," Coop said back.

"Oh, I know," Dennis said, making Coop laugh. "Now let's hurry up and fix this fence, then we can see where that mutant went and get him back for this." Dennis said as he pushed himself off the ground.

Looking down at Coop, and extended his hand to him.

Coop nodded his head determinedly, as he grasped his friend's hand.

"Yeah, and we'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget!"
