Chapter 9
"The City of Twolegs."
9/21/16 - 9/25/16 - 9/26/16
None of the five apprentices have seen Daisypelt since that night.
They were on edge and didn't risk taking one step outside of the colony.
However, Windpaw didn't want to stay around and wait like a scared mouse.
He leaves the empty lot and comes across a huge building, with a picture of a short, pudgy Twoleg with fur under his big nose and wearing a blue and red pelt and a red hat with the letter "M" on it.
Weird.
Windpaw enters the building undetected, and sees many, many, many of small square shaped objects with different characters on it. One had four female Twolegs in the colors of red and black, white, black and yellow, and the letters misspelled "Ruby".
There was a strange, purple lizard with wings and yellow horns, breathing the elements of fire, ice, electricity and earth shockwaves.
Is he just like us? Windpaw wondered curiously. He looks around and saw two posters: a huge, metal white lion on a blazing yellow poster, and a bat with the nighttime, starlit sky underneath its wings.
Windpaw sees another poster of...something that looked like a Twoleg, but a hedgehog with blue fur and green eyes, a moving block showed that the hedgehog was out running every metal beast in his path.
If a hedgehog ever did that, we'd rip our whiskers out.
Windpaw heard a Twoleg yell as a man ran toward him. Windpaw immediately ran away and forms a sphere of air under his paws and zips far away as the Twoleg came out of the store.
The sphere broke apart and Windpaw tumbles down on the ground and looks up to see Jet.
"Are you nuts?!" He roughly pushes Windpaw back to the alley. Graypaw, Rosepaw, Goldpaw and Oakpaw were eating a triangular piece of food called pizza when Jet brought Windpaw back.
Rosepaw twitches her ears.
"Where did you go, Twinklepaws?"
"Inside GameStop!" Jet said, wiggling his stubby tail in frustration.
The four apprentices look at each other and then to Jet.
"What's a GameStop?" Asks Goldpaw.
"It's a Twoleg place for the Twoleg kits and apprentices to take these small boxes with them." Jet explained.
"And the last place a cat should be in." Said a dark brown she cat.
Graypaw narrowed her eyes as the she cat nuzzles Jet's cheek.
"This is Kitkat. She knows everything about what goes on in the streets, and she might have information on that cat, Daisy."
The Chosen Four pricked their ears with interest, Graypaw pads to Kitkat.
"Can you tell us about Daisypelt?"
Rosepaw didn't miss the subtle challenge in Graypaw's tone, but decided to ignore it.
Jet nods to Kitkat and leaves the alleyway. Kitkat crouches down to her stomach.
"This, Daisypelt as you call her, all the street cats say that she killed the original leader, Archie. Back then, Archie was a bully, but he respected our boundaries in territories, and his western cats kept out of our way. Ever since Daisypelt moved in, the west cats have been moving in and stealing our food.
When we fight back Daisypelt would show up and kill one of our own without batting an eye. It's been this way four three to four moons at a time."
"You can't tell me that Archie's cats support Daisypelt after all this." Windpaw said.
"They don't." Kitkat replied. "But she has these cats that only show up at night, and they would just come here and kill cats for no reason, and some of them even become her bodyguards.
"The dark red she cat is the worst. She would prance around like she was better than us and make it look as if we start fights."
Fox dung, she just doesn't learn anything.
Windpaw pricked his ears, hearing Goldheart's voice.
"Do you know where Daisypelt usually hides at?" Graypaw asks.
"We followed her crew and found out where she stays," Kitkat said. "But it's best if we do it at night."
Goldheart lashed his tail and stalked from Moonpool when he sees a fluffy white tom.
"Cloudwind. What do you want?"
"Nice to see you again, too." Cloudwind said sarcastically. "I was hoping you'd know where the kits are."
"First off, one of them is almost eight moons old. Second, yes. They're in the city."
Cloudwind's eyes narrowed.
"The city?! Stealthfire used to tell me that monsters show up the most there, what if-?"
Goldheart raised his paw.
"Don't worry, you're love kit is fine. Rosepaw is not as helpless as you'd like to think."
Cloudwind noticed the stress on Goldheart's face.
"Are you okay?"
"... She's helping Daisypelt."
"Who is-?" Cloudwind paused, and slowly gaped. "Redfawn? Are you positive?"
"That street cat mentioned a stuck up she cat with red fur, yes it's Redfawn." Goldheart said, spitting at his "mate's" name.
"If she's there then there's a chance that Dark Forest cats are helping Daisypelt as well."
Cloudwind frowned.
"What do you suggest that we do?"
Goldheart's green eyes flashed.
"You can tell Darkstar where they are, but leave their powers out and don't send out a rescue team. Those four can take care of themselves."
Cloudwind dips his head and vanished. Goldheart was satisfied to see him go, and he went back to Moonpool and waits for Windpaw to fall asleep.
This is gonna be tough, but Windpaw needs to be strong. And I'll help him every step of the way.
I'm sorry for the lack of updates! I've been feeling even more down than usual for a couple of days, and I don't write good when that happens.
I've been planning a few things, like Daisypelt's father making an appearance in the future, and some hinted couples between the Four, and a prequel story of one of the warriors in my story. That sort of thing.
Don't worry! I won't give up! ^-^
By the by. I kept my promise and put video game references in here... But just in case you didn't understand or missed them: It was Super Mario, RWBY, Spyro the Dragon, and the two Pokemon Sun and Moon mascots, Solgaleo, the Psychic and Steel type lion, and Lunala, the Psychic and Ghost type bat. And last but not least, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Rwby belongs to Monty Oum (I just heard he died last year... Why am I ALWAYS the last to know?!), Mario and Pokemon belong to Nintendo, Sonic belongs to Sega, and Spyro belongs to...um, the guys who made Skylanders. I never kept track of who belongs to who.
Reviews are appreciated. ~ Kyubi
