Chapter ten
I awoke slowly. I wasn't in front of the fireplace, but on a bed with a note attached near my paw. I moved my body towards the note.
"I see you fell asleep... Your tip concluded itself... Meowiarty has escaped. It seems that the yard will have to be on the lookout for all criminal activity. I wonder, does your name happen to be Amy? A group of teens came looking for a wizard named that... I must proceed with the case at hand. We left some cat food on the floor in a bowl. I apologize for the inconvenience - S. Bones"
I reread the note a couple times before hopping down off the bed and tiptoeing to where the cat food was. I wasn't expressly happy with the idea of eating cat food, but the food was food and I was starving. I took a bite and swallowed it. It wasn't good, but Ravenwood cafeteria food is much worse. That's what I reminded myself each and every bite I took until I wasn't hungry.
I moved around the room to discover I was stuck inside. I could tell that the silence was going to me before they did. I wanted to yowl, but I knew it was pointless. I watched the mahogany door open to reveal Watson.
"I see you're up," Watson told me.
Yes, I mewed.
"We may need your help," He told me.
I don't know how much I can, I mewed.
"It doesn't matter, any clues might help us find the thief of the Krokonomicon," Watson replied.
I internally sighed. I didn't know how much I could reveal without compromising the mission I was on. It's not as if I could say that I was on a mission to stop the Krokonomicon from being stolen, but failed, got kidnapped, turned myself into a cat by accident, and got my magic drained so I can't turn back to a wizard until I recharge. That would leave too many questions open, but it was the truth. I hate to lie, I hate anything that has to do with it. It is too morally wrong for me to, plus I am a horrible liar.
I had to tell a lie based on truth. I know that the guilt will eat up on me, but it doesn't matter. I couldn't tell them about my mission. Telling them would compromise it.
I looked up at Watson with my big green kitten eyes.
So, I mewed. Where am I going to be taken for this interrogation?
Watson, with his robust features, looked shocked.
"What makes you think that it will be an interrogation?" he asked.
Because it seems that would be the way of it, so where am I going to go? I mewed.
"Just wait for Sherlock," Watson told me. "He will be the one asking the questions."
Just great, I mewed sarcastically.
"It won't be that bad, you are still young, how old were you?" he asked.
I was sixteen, I mewed.
"So young," Watson replied. "I think that Sherlock's ready."
Okay, I mewed. I couldn't really say anything else. After all, I didn't want to sound like a whiner. I followed Watson through the door and to a chair across from Sherlock. He cleared his throat.
"Okay, now, what is your name?" He asked.
Amy, I mewed.
"Do you have a last name?"
No.
"Strange..."
Don't I know it.
He cleared his throat again.
"How old are you?"
Sixteen
"Where were you when you were kidnapped?"
I was at the museum at the Krokonomicon exhibit, reading the information on it when I heard someone behind me. I flipped around, but he brought a cloth up to my nose, I blacked out.
"Why were you at the museum?"
That I can't answer.
"Why not?"
I was on a mission to protect the Krokonomicon, that's all I can tell you.
"Oh, Okay..."
I told the truth without revealing too much, I hope. It was a half truth, I didn't tell him who exactly sent me on it. Gideon would not be appreciative, I'm sure.
"What do you remember of the place you were taken?" he then asked.
I was inside a room with steel walls and it was dark, so I couldn't make out anything else, I mewed. That's all I can tell you. I had my eyes closed when I was brought here. I hate heights.
"One last thing, since you're still a wizard, could you help us?"
