Chapter 10

Oh My Little Star

The sun sneaked though the window of the hotel room and shined on to Star's fur. The soft bed and pillow was no match for the sun to wake her up. Opening one eye to see everyone at a table gathered around the laptop. The warmth of her blanket was soon taken away from her with a pull. Murray had pulled away the blanket exposing her clothed body. Sudden coldness rushed around her making her shiver. Cold in Indian? That's not normal. She thought to herself before sitting up.

"Star it's time to start the day with a BANG. We shall be leaving the hotel in a few so rise up little Star. RISE UP!" Murray spoke with a very thunderous voice making her groan.

Star slowly rose up feeling weak on her legs. From all the battling, running and dancing made her tired the next day. But Sly seemed fine, as good as new. She walked over to the table, slowly and slowly inching towards the table. Star then tripped falling on her face. Her eyes trailed to see Sly looking at her raising his eyebrows.

"I thought you were going to catch me."

"Well that didn't happen, did it?" Sly laughed, seeing Star bury her face into the carpet.

Sly chuckled lifting her up on his lap. Star saw what was on the computer, more and more information about Rajan and area's where he would be hiding. Rajan had as much money as he wanted but still chose to hide out in India.

"Seems like he had hidden himself in a deep forest." Bentley informed them seeing Star leaning on Sly's shoulder and already asleep. Bentley then raised an eyebrow at Sly, who was rubbing Star's back.

"Umm… Care to explain?" Bentley asked packing up his laptop.

"Sooner or later." Sly replied and started to carry Star out the window and to the van to see Murray already in the driver's seat.

"They wouldn't approve Sly." Star mumbled as he ran.

"Who Bentley and Murray? I'm sure they would get over it."

"No, other's police, clockwerk, Carmelita, Dimitri, Raja…." Star then drifted back to sleep leaving Sly speechless.

"Damn Rajan still has her around his little finger doesn't he?" Sly whispered angry squeezing harder on her before opening the door to the van and rushing off.

As they approached closer and closer to Rajan's new hide out they had to leave the van behind to get through all the trees. As they left the car they all walked in silence. Cutting off branches in their way. Until finally seeing the hide out. They looked around to see spices, spices, and even more spices. The air was covered in spices that roamed around. The gang quietly searched around for a new safe house. When finally setting up in a cave shaped as a dragon's head high above the air. While the gang set up the equipment Star sat outside of the safe house. Why am I still here? I mean I should be back in Paris by myself. I shouldn't have fallen in love- no I'm not in love with sly. Because right when were done finding the clockwerk parts they will throw me out like trash. Star thought to herself overlooking the new area they were in. The door behind her then swung open and Sly came out.

"What's wrong Star? You seem… different." Sly questioned as he walked towards the green wolf.

"Oh nothing, just a little too much on my mind." Star reassured then started to shake remembering what happened last time when she didn't share what was wrong with her.

"Are you sure you don't want to share?" Sly said darkly.

"Hehehe…. Got to go!" Star shouted before jumping off of the edge of the safe house. Star ran around the guard avoiding being spotted. Slowing down she leaned against the wall of the crumbling palace that once stood tall. She then saw sly appear in front of her.

"Whoop Dee fucking doo." Star mumbled feeling Sly's presence. She then moved her hand to the side pushing down with forced feeling the tile move down.

"Huh?" Star questioned before disappearing into the wall in a spit second.

"Star? STAR!" Sly shouted seeing that she had fall in into some sort of hidden passage.

Star was falling, expecting to hit the cold hard ground she landed on a plush surface. Looking around only seeing darkness.

"Star? Star its Bentley Sly informed me about what happen are you ok?" Bentley spoke into the binucome as she picked it up to answer it.

"Yeah a bit frighten from the fall but I landed on maybe a mattress." Star replied trying to find her way through the dark.

"Can you see anything?"

"Nothing except darkness." Star replied, then hearing footsteps.

"Bentley someone is coming."

"Star you need t-" Star then shut off the binucom and waited till door flung open and lights went on.

Right when the light when on Star spotted a closet and quickly hid in it leaving it a little bit open to see. Star then saw that it was a passage to a bedroom filled with a bed, dresser, closet, T.V, and tables. A very royal room. Seeing a blur of orange pass by the closet grumbling.

"Rajan." Star gasped covering her mouth.

"I swear I will kill that raccoon along with his friends. I will skin them alive and throw their bones to the dogs. I WILL KILL YOU SLY COOPER. I WILL KILL YOUU." Rajan screamed and punched the brick wall leaving a hole in it. A guard then came at the door way and spoke "Sir, you need to calm down. Would you like me to send in a dancer for you?"

Rajan's eyes then turned blood shot red, "THE ONLY DANCER I WANT IS THE DANCER IN BLUE FROM THE BALL. FIND HER AND BRING HER TO ME." Rajan was angered scaring away the large guard. He sat on his bed with his head in his hands.

"Cooper mark my words if Clockwerk can't destroy you then I will." His voice was no more than a whisper.

Star stood in the closet quietly taking pictures of the room and Rajan. Taking a picture of the passage she came though, the door exit, the bed, Rajan, and the night stand beside the bed will pictures on it. Rajan slowly rose up walking over to the night stand picking up a picture frame.

"Star, Star, Star oh my little Star, how I wonder where you are? Up above the rooftops so high. I wonder if you will ever die. Star, Star, Star oh my little Star how I wonder where you are?" Rajan sang grabbing the picture harder and harder before it shattered in his hands and leaving the room with his blood leaving a trail.

She collapse out of the closet and on the carpet floor, breathing hard. Suddenly she picked up her buinucoms to see Bentley still there.

"Star we heard everything. Are you alright?" Bentley asked calmly.

"Yeah, yeah I t-took photos and I'll be back at the safe house ASAP." Star breathed.

Sly was suddenly on the little screen, "Good job Star, good job staying Strong. Can you make it back to the safe house?"

"Yeah, I got it." Star choked out before disconnecting.

Star got up and walked around the room feeling everything and examining it. She went to the night stand and looked at the photo's they were of Rajan, Star, and Star dressed in her dancer outfit.

"An obsession that I can see he never grew out of." Star told herself picking up the broken photo of him and her.

"An obsession that ruined our friendship." Star said dropping the photo and exiting though the hole she fell in though.

Star slowly went back to the safe house killing a few guards she encountered with. She had her ninja stars on her and simply threw them at their neck and watched them bleed out. It was like a little hobby she had. She knew it was wrong but didn't see the harm in it. Well except for the fact that she killed the others with this hobby. Leaving the last body she climbed her way back to the safe house. Upon walking in she only saw Bentley and Murray. She searched the room for Sly but shrugged it off that Bentley had sent him on a mission. She pulled up a chair next to Bentley and felt Murray's big hand rest on her shoulder.

"Nice job Star, we sent Sly to get recon photos along with yours. If you can just give me the chip in your Binucom and I'll download them on to my computer for better understanding." Bentley began taking the chip out of Star's hand.

"And to believe that this was all an accident." Star groaned.

"We all must face the past one way or another." Bentley pointed out while typing.

"But I never thought ill face it this way." Star rebuffed back before helping Murray set up his, Bentley's and Sly's room. They all share a room together while Star gets her own room, since she was the only female.

She walked in the rather large room and saw one bunk-bed and a hammock hanging from the ceiling. (Those are the like outdoor relaxing things that swing back and forth. I'll have a link to a picture of one at the bottom!) There was then a giant rug that covered most of the floor. Then Murray had a T.V and a gaming system.

"Who sleeps up there?" Star asked pointing to the hammock.

"Who else! Sly loves those things so he uses one as a bed." Murray replied.

"Hey can you put these pillows and blankets up there?" He asked handing them to Star who leaped up and landed on the hammock.

When they finished out Star went outside and went on the roof of the safe house. Looking out and dreaming. Rain hit her face making her feel refreshed. Her fur soaked up the water making her shiver. From the corner of her eye she saw Sly approach her and sit right next to her.

"So what's going on Star?"

"When this all ends I will have to leave won't I?"

"Who said that?"

"I'm just here for back up or 'extra help'." Star then did the quotations with her fingers.

"At first yes, but now you're more than that." Sly began.

"So I moved up to be a friend then."

"More that, I don't want you to leave Star."

"Sly, Bentley and Murray are your family, I don't want to break that, after everything I'll just go back to Paris." Star said and got up.

"That's right they are my family." Sly spoke and slowly got up.

"I'll just be 'that one girl.'" Star spoke feeling tears run down her tears but get washed away from the rain.

Sly then came behind Star and grabber her wrist. Pulling Star in close. Body against body and inches apart. Sly wrapped his arms around Star's waist. Star felt Sly's breath on her before he leaned in closing the gap. His soft lips met hers as the rain came down. The world stopped spinning for them as so did time. All problems went away, Clockwerk, Rajan, and police. Nothing mattered as long as they were together. Star then wrapped her arms around the Raccoons neck before departing.

"I want you to be known as 'Sly's Girl'." Sly brought in with a smile making Star laugh.

From a distance a tiger was sitting in his chair singing.

"Star, Star, Star, Oh my little Star

How I wonder where you are?

Up above the roof tops so high

I wonder if you will ever die.

Star, Star, Star oh my little Star

How I wonder where you are?"
