Chapter 11
Isabella's POV
I just sat there and watched. I looked behind me briefly to see that Phineas had his eyes open, he seemed to be listening as well, as if he was really curious to what was happening. I smiled slightly, Phineas was too curious for his own good. Ferb was turned away from the door where the scene was unfolding, but he was not asleep, I could tell.
I turned my attention back to Lily and Doof. I just wanted answers. I never did like Lily, and I am sure I still do not like her. But… she deserves a chance to explain… right?
Perry's POV
Uggh… my head…
I woke up to see I was in the backyard, my head was fuzzy and my vision was blurred. At first, I could not remember what had happened. Then it hit me. I looked around. Blueprints were scattered everywhere but other than that there was no sign of anything that did happen. I sighed; I wish this was all a dream. Maybe it was, but I knew it was not. I closed my struggling to remember each and every detail.
Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella have been captured. Dr. D is responsible and Lily knocked me out. The last detail troubled me. Why did Lily knock me out? Was she trying to keep me away? The only thing I could make from this is that Lily was working for Dr. D. But that made no sense either…. I sighed; the only thing I should focus on was getting to Dr. D. I got to me feet and was about to leave when someone else called me back.
"Perry!"
I almost expected it to be Lily. But I knew it was not. It was a bark not a meow. I looked up to see Isabella's dog Pinky hurrying over to me. He was also a secret agent for a different agency. We were, in a way, friends I guess.
"I saw what happened!" Pinky gasped to me, totally out of breath. "I saw lasers shooting down into your backyard then I saw Doofenshimrtz name! I can't believe he attacked your home so openly. Were you hurt? Where is Lily? Is Isabella okay? What about your owners? Oh I wish I would have been here!" Pinky was nice and all but he would ask too many questions at once.
"Doof was able to take Phineas, Ferb and Isabella. I was knocked out by… Lily."
Pinky stared at me like I was crazy. "Lily is nice! The last time you decide she was evil she saved you life."
"I think she is working for Dr. D. Why else would she try to keep me away from Dr. D?"
"Because she wanted to protect you?" Pink offered. I would argue with that but that seem likely as well.
"I guess…" I began.
"We have to go save our owners! And maybe even Lily herself! What if she is in trouble?" Pink told me.
"Okay." I nod. Together we head out to my nemesis building. Our fedora's on. We felt rushed so we hurried along as fast as possible.
When we finally got to the building that my nemesis was at. We ended up climbing up. Going up the elevator was a foolish idea.
"You stay here." I told Pinky. "Once I get the window open, I will let you in. Also if it is a trap, then you can rescue me.
"Gotcha." Pinky whispered back at me as I began to climb. Once up, I kicked open the window and landed on the floor. Pinky followed me in.
"I thought I told you to stay put?" I asked in the form of a question.
"I know." Pinky whispered back. "But, I figured why listen?"
I sighed in slightly amusement, slight anger. "Okay then."
I look back up to see Dr. D and Lily talking. Lily looked like she had been crying but Dr. D was not threatening her at all! In fact they were talking like friends! That made me so angry. I was amazed I did not leap out there and strangle Lily right then and there. But I knew to stay put and just clench my teeth while imagining Lily living a miserable life.
I was about to realize how much Lily had been through though. Next to me, Pinky looked so betrayed. I could not blame him. After all, he trusted Lily and stuck up for her right? Just to know that she lied the whole time? I sighed.
Lily's POV
"You remember how humans treated both of us right?" Dr. D asked me.
"Yes." I told him sadly.
"Good, oh I need to go check on something." I guessed it was Phineas and Ferb and Isabella but I did not care anymore. I watched my master leave before flopping back into my bed. I was instantly woken up by the movement of a blue-green color.
"Perry?" I whispered quietly.
Then I was slammed into by a flow blown attack. A hand was clamped over my mouth to prevent from screaming. I struggled slightly for awhile before calming down and laying there while Perry pinned me.
I flinched at the anger in his eyes. I looked behind him to see Pinky looking at me with betrayal in his own eyes. Still shaking all the same.
Finally Perry spoke to me while nearly strangling me. "You like lying to me or something?" Perry asked me.
"No Perry please let me explain!" I cried. Why won't anyone listen to me! I guess I knew why.
Before I could say anything I heard Dr. D coming back in.
"Now that is done…" I panic and pushed myself up sending Perry away into a hiding place. Pinky looked ready to attack before realizing Dr. D was coming. I motioned toward the hiding place and Pinky ran in. I turned around to face Dr. D
"Where were we?"
"How much we hate humans." I sighed.
"That is right. I had a miserable childhood because of other humans. Humans destroyed your life. Why should you like any of them? Beside, any good normal human would just throw you out in a few weeks. Tell me about your past. Tell me how those humans destroyed your life." Dr. D said.
I growled at him. The memory was all too clear in my mind. I closed my eyes, remembering each detail but saying them out loud.
Flashback (Lily's POV)
"You ready to come out today sweetie?" My mother asked me. She was all white with blue eyes.
"Can I father?" I squeaked to me dad.
"Yes, Lily. Come out. Your brother and sister are waiting." My father told me.
I scrambled to my paws and hurried outside. I pushed my sister to the ground. My brother and sister were much older than me, so they let me win.
"Hey!" My sister laughed at me.
"Hey!" I greeted, as if it was meant as a greeting.
"Let me up!" My sister growled at me.
"Okay." I said letting her up. It was a normal day. Too bad I did not know how bad it would turn out.
I looked up and spotted a few humans at the entrance of the alley way where we lived.
"Hey look! Humans!" I cried to my siblings. My siblings only ran away. I only looked at them confused before running up to humans. I meowed a greeting. I trusted humans. They were nice and gave me food. But these humans were different. They held weird sticks things. I had no idea what they were. I meowed in confusion. Then the stick thing made of metal apparently was place against my shoulder. I began shaking with fear. I watched one of them put their finger on a trigger sort of thing. Afraid for my life I ducked. The thing that came out of the stick things missed me. I heard the humans mutter a few words so foreign to me.
"Stupid! Your gun-shot missed the cat! We need to kill these cats remember?"
I meowed in fear before running away back to my home. I heard the noses of the gun things again. I meet my father at the entrance. He snarled a cuss under his breath.
"They found us. I was so carful… I guess this is what I get." My father glanced at me. "Go with your mother and siblings and run for your life."
Tear rolled down my cheek as my father sprinted out and took the shots like a real cat. But he feel to the ground, bleeding. He was not moving an inch. I knew he was dead.
"Father!" I cried. My brother came out of nowhere and nudges me forward.
"Come on." My brother told me. Before we could move an inch. Another shot was fired. This time at us. My brother shoved me away. I made it through but looked back to see the unmoving body of my brother.
"No!" I cried, this time even harder.
But I did not stop; I meet my mother and my sister at the other side of the alley. Tears were streaming down my face.
My mother nuzzled me softly in comfort before running. My sister and I followed. We made it far before being cornered once again. The gun things pointed at us. I whimpered and cried in fear. Hoping for them to back off. My mother was looking around before she grabbed me roughly by the scruff and threw me into a building's vent. I scrambled to my paws only to see my mom. I had no idea where my sister was but my mom was right there. Smiling.
"Goodbye my dear." My mother whispered to me.
"No! I cannot lose all of you! Mom please!" I cried. I was losing all of my family.
"I love you. We will meet again someday. All of us. I promise." Then I saw my mom eyes grew wide. She let out a gasp of pain before collapsing onto the ground.
"Mom!" I cried.
I heard the humans coming. I backed up a few paces, as far as I could. I heard the humans muttering to each other. I felt tears in my eyes. I emerged when it was dark. The bodies of my family were gone. I had seen my sister's unmoving body as well before. My mom had failed to protect my sister but protected me. I felt so alone. So… so alone. Tears flowed down my face and I cried into my paws.
"Mom! Father! Brother! Sister!" I cried to the sky.
I cried right there for the whole night then I moved on. I just had to stay hidden and food to survive. That was all that mattered. Not family, not friends, just survival.
I hated all humans after that day.
End of Flashback (Lily's POV)
"I hated all humans after that."
"Except me."
"And Phineas and Ferb and his family." I whispered under my breath. "But, yeah."
"See, humans killed your family. I would never do that. I may be evil, but I am misunderstood. No one took me seriously as an evil scientist so I made myself more evil. I created a ray to do that. Smart right? I may be evil, but I am not mean to innocent kittens. Not like other humans. Remember that Lily, always."
Perry's POV
I felt so bad for Lily; her past was so messed up. No wonder she wanted to stay with my family so badly. She was so desperate for a family that cared for her. To lose your family like that… I do not think I could never handle that.
I looked at Pinky for some advice but he still very quiet. Though his own eyes glistened with pity. How could you not feel pity with this story?
Phineas' POV
Maybe I did not give Lily enough of a chance to explain. She had such a rough past. I could not blame her for just going to Doof for a home. I was so sad for her.
Isabella's POV
I hated Lily I will admit freely but that story would bring anyone to tears. How could anyone have the heart to destroy a family like that? Just leaving Lily alone like that. It made me so mad. I was a fireside girl and hated hearing stories like that.
Ferb's POV
I had to feel bad for Lily. Maybe we should have listened to her story.
"We were too hard on her." Phineas muttered out loud. I had to agree with that. Isabella even nodded. I was slightly surprised. Isabella should have been happy for Lily not being in the picture anymore, but she seemed to have an ounce of pity.
"We cannot do anything now." I told them. "We might as well wait until Lily gets a chance to talk with again. Then maybe if we can forgive we can get out of her with her help. We do not have much of another choice."
Lily's POV
I glanced back at Pinky and Perry. I wonder if they had been paying attention. I guess it did not matter. I did not deserve friends. I was no better than those humans in my past that destroyed my family.
"Oh, hey that reminds me. Where did you get the collar to talk?" Dr. D asks me.
"Oh, Phineas and Ferb built it for me." I told him. I had no idea why he cared.
"Those two can build thing like that?" Dr. D asked, amazed.
"Uh, sure." I responded, getting a little bit afraid of where he was going with this.
"Those two could be useful to me. I just need to motivate them. Maybe that black haired girl it I threaten her they will do my bidding." Dr. D muttered.
I felt my fur bristle as Pinky quietly growled from behind me.
"Forget it! I will not let you." I said getting to my paws.
Dr. D glared at me in surprise. "Are you questioning me?"
"Yes!" I snarled. I was being brave but not smart. The next thing I knew I was beaten by Dr. D.
"No one questions me!" He yowled at me. He finally stopped, leaving me in flown blown pain.
"Now, if you need me. I will be going." Dr. D said to me.
I got to me paws shakily then snarled at him. "You are not worth anything! I will stop you!"
"Try Jo. But you will have no luck, consider yourself lucky that you brought Phineas and Ferb minds to me or else you would be dead by now." Dr. D told me.
My fur bristled. I had made the worst mistake of my life. Just like trusting those humans that day in my old home… I was not about to let everyone I cared about now get killed and or hurt by this. I did not care what happened to me anymore. I just had to clean up this mess I created.
"I will stop you." Lily vowed quietly.
