"Buddy, you're so cute! I love you so much. Awwwww!" Lizzie had been cooing over Callum for the past 3 hours that day alone. Callum had been Buddy for at least a 4 days now and it had been the worst 4 days ever. Callum had had enough of it.

"Meow." He cried.

"Do you want to go on a walk? Ok! You can go, but hurry back!" Callum knew that by leaving Lizzie without telling Joel first, Lizzie was at risk of Joey, but Callum had had enough of being a cat for one day. He left the castle to go on a walk to clear his mind. He thought he felt something watching him.

Shrugging it off, he continued on his walk. Later he would wish he had gone back to Lizzie. She might be insane, but at least he was safe with her, but he did not think these things at this time, and he continued walking. All of a sudden he went down 3 hearts at once. He turns around to see at least 7 cats behind him, growling.

"Uhhhh hey guys, let's just be nice, I don't want any trouble…" He tried to reason.

The head cat, Prof. Sparklebutt 2, waved his tail and they continued to advance. "Sorry Buddy. Moonlight Demands that you be taken care of, and Moonlight speaks for King Joey, so you must be destroyed." Callum was shocked. Why would Joey want him gone? Joel was on Joey's side.

"Lizzie wouldn't want you doing this! And Lizzie is in charge of Joey!" Callum said, trying to reason with the blood thirsty cats.

"Lizzie is nothing. We only follow King Joey, and King Joey says no more Buddy so Buddy must go." Professor snapped back. Callum tried to come back with a comeback when the cats attacked again, leaving him at 4 hearts.

"Come on guys! I'm just like you! We are all cats here!" The cats didn't seem to care. They attacked. Callum knew he had to do something. Only 1 heart left. He slowly backed up. He saw a ledge behind him. He quickly popped on his emergency feather falling 6 boots and jumped. He landed in a cave in the side of the ledge. He only took ½ heart, leaving him with only half a heart.

"What the?" The Professor said as Callum jumped down.

"Do you think he died?" Silverflame, one of the newer cats, asked.

"I would assume so. We may always land on our feet but he had very little health left. I don't think he could have survived that much of a fall." Professor explained.

"Should we go check?" Kawaii, another newer cat, asked.

"I think we should!" Starfright responded.

"Alright let's go check." Callum heard them talking above him and he threw a fish down to the bottom of the cliff.

The cats made their way to the bottom of the cliff. "Look!" Kawaii shouted as the fish came into view. "His inventory!" They surrounded the fish.

"Move along guys. We need to report to Moonlight ASAP." Professor yelled at them after a few moments. Silverflame and Kawaii looked at one another and shook their heads. Maybe what they were doing was bad, but they had orders to carry out. Starfright took the lead and began to bring them all back to the castle. When they were gone, Professor ate the fish up. "Oh wow this is yummy. Maybe now that Buddy is gone, I will get to enjoy some of this type of fish!" After it was all gone, he returned to the castle.

Callum looked down. He immediately knew that if someone didn't find him, he would be trapped there forever. With only half a heart, he decided it would be best if he built himself a safe house to hide in until someone came to save him.

"Hey Yammy? Have you seen Cal-uh-Buddy?" Joel had been looking around the castle for at least half an hour now. He had seen Lizzie let Callum Buddy out but he hadn't seen him come back in. He was about to go out to look for him. He had almost said Callum, but he caught himself. You never knew who was spying on who.

"Not sure. Saw Lizzie put him out this morning, but I haven't seen him since. You might want to talk to Joey about that. I saw Moonlight talking with a group of cats earlier, but Buddy wasn't there."

"Oh ok. Can you help me search?" Joel asked.

"Joel! You know we have that thing with Stace! She needs us soon!" Yammy was shocked Joel had forgotten, although it made a bit of sense if Joel was worried about Callum. First, Callum was pretending to be Buddy, Joel's real life pet cat. Second, having Buddy was keeping Lizzie's cats from influencing Lizzie too much. Third, Joel had to promise Callum safety, and if Callum was in trouble and got hurt, Joel would blame himself.

"I'm sorry! I totally forgot! I'm worried Buddy's went off and got himself into trouble."

"Ok, I'll tell Stacy you can't make it. You go look for Buddy." Yammy concluded, understanding that if Callum was in trouble and they didn't help him, all of them would be at fault.

"Really? Thanks Yammy! If Joey asks where I am, make something up for me please?" Yammy nodded. "Thank you so much." Joel ran out of the cat castle. I'm sure we can do it just the two of us Yammy thought to herself.
