Chapter eight
I swear! She was the most beautiful cat I've ever seen!" The white tom said dreamily.
"No," meowed his friend, Fudge. "I know what you're thinking, Blizzard. Really, she attacked you! How can you like her?"
Blizzard twitched his tail in annoyance. "But Fudge, you've never seen a cat that was special to you!"
Fudge shook his small brown head. "I've got you." He mewed.
Blizzard sighed. "That's not what I meant." Fudge stared at him.
He blinked. He sat up and brushed his tail against Blizzard's fresh back wound. Blizzard winced.
"I'm going to see her, no matter what you say!" Blizzard growled. Fudge bowed his head. Then he raised it again, yellow eyes burning like the sun.
"You are NOT going out there! I-I won't let you! They'll rip your heart out and feed it to the mice!"
Blizzard held his frightened friend's gaze steadily. "You can't make me stay here forever." He meowed softly.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. And I'm not coming back."
