PD: Remember about the translation, this isn't the best xD
Chapter 2: An inevitable attraction.
- I'm glad everything went well! - Claire said giving her a hug.
- Best of all, we have provisions for the little ones for several weeks - Kitty said.
- No one was hurt? - She asked worriedly.
- Just a few scratches nothing serious, they didn't capture anyone that is the most important - she replied.
-How good! - Said her friend happy - I'm sorry to say this ... but there is bad news.
-What happened? - asked the black cat in fear.
-The kingdom requires more space ... for that they'll make a kind of cleaning, demolish I don't know what part of here but they'll build something. It's going to make matters worse here - she said annoyed.
- Do you know when? - Kitty asked, just as angry.
- I don't know, but we want to make a protest - she replied.
- It's something ... but worse is nothing. Although the best option is to leave as soon as possible from here, we can't continue to endure more abuses and less need.
- It's true, I'll try to get in touch with Noah and Carlos to hurry up the plans - Claire said.
She nodded and they both went to call a meeting.
Several days passed, after that wake-up call at the barracks, the work environment had become denser, everyone was on alert all the time, the rounds increased as they thought that the "fringe" would come to rob the palace.
- Puss - Dulcinea called as she found him in the hallway.
- What do you need? - He asked.
- I want to talk some business with you - she said.
- What would it be? - He asked again.
- Well - she drawled - I've heard, you're acting bad out there.
Ah? What was it all about? Since when was she so interested in what he did in his spare time?
He was surprised by what he had just heard.
-What several friends of mine belonging to the nobility have seen you with many ... women ... - she said wanting to say something else but did not want to be vulgar.
- And ... What's this? - he asked puzzled.
- That I had you on a pedestal - he said jokingly. - I was considering you something.
Great…
- Could you behave better? - She asked in a sweet voice. - For me?
Puss didn't know what to answer, he had never seen her that way and he would like to know why that change was so ... unforeseen. He didn't want to be so obvious and at the same time not be so hard. She shouldn't care what he did or did not do, Puss loved her and everything, but what security did that give him? Nothing assured him.
- If you wish, I will - he replied.
- Oh good - she said and kissed his cheek. -I must go, we'll talk later.
Puss remained static, hopefully reacting to touching his cheek.
Kitty was walking with her friend to go to the protest, they were heading to the restricted area and they were shouting, fighting to stop them from passing them again.
At first everything was quiet but as they pressed things they became ugly. Threats began, calling the Royal Guard and not afraid to imprison them all.
This was how the rebellion was set, everyone was fighting, throwing an object, others ran.
With so many shoving Kitty lost sight of her friend, she left as she could of the place to be able to look for it. Waiting she was ok.
Suddenly she felt a heavy blow on the shoulder, complaining of the pain by rubbing the area. She looked back to see who it had been, was one of those weakened guards and kicked back the favor.
As she advanced, Kitty helped as many of her acquaintances as she could, who were in trouble, as well as they didn't have the weapons to defend themselves like her or didn't have the same fighting abilities.
Claire was complicated, saved a little boy who lost sight of his mother and the guards were going to capture him. The problem is that they managed to hurt the bicolor cat in her leg, she ran very hard and was bleeding a lot, worst of all three guards was chasing her.
She tried to hide between the bustles behind some objects but it was impossible, they managed to catch her all the time.
Claire was considering surrendering, since she didn't have many options ...
But what happened next, made her cold and could not find the reason for what he did.
Was a Royal Guard! Claire knew it by the cloak that he was wearing, it was very fancy and had the colors of the kingdom the uniform they wore. A cat of golden color that perfectly matched with his eyes and his fur who disarmed the other guards and defended her...
-Why did you do that? Claire asked with dismay when everyone was unconscious.
He ignored the question and cut a piece off his cloak.
- You have to stop the bleeding ...- he said turning the tourniquet on her leg and looked at her. - Are you feeling all right?
Claire watched him, still not understanding anything.
- Yes ... I feel fine - she said suspiciously.
- Good - he said with a smile. - I must go.
He left, leaving the doubt in her mind. Claire looked at her foot, there was the cloth completely bloody. She sighed, unable to believe it.
Kitty was agitated and exhausted. The times she has fought have been several and at that moment she was being surrounded.
She took a breath and managed to defeat them by doing several maneuvers, jumping from side to side. When she landed on her four legs she looked forward.
For the second time she met those green eyes ... It was the same guard she had fought with many days ago and again had that inexplicable eye contact that lasted seconds but really seemed minutes. He had a look of mystery ... and sadness? What was wrong with him?
She wouldn't find out because he threw himself and tried to catch her. Another battle between them began again.
Kitty was really tired, she could barely dodge the thrusts Puss gave her, and he even brushed her arm and gave an ugly cut.
She complained and took her hand up to the injured area, took a step back and to bad luck she came across a wall. She was cornered.
Kitty challenged him with the look, she wasn't afraid and Puss pointed with the sword.
- Do it! - She shouted in a raspy voice, was ready whatever he was going to do.
He looked at Kitty. Those eyes showed her determination, he found no fear or doubt in them. Once again they got lost in that contact.
He didn't know why, but he stopped pointing her with his sword.
- Go away - he said, looking at the ground, surely he would regret it later.
- Kitty! - called her friend who was limping holding in a barrel.
The female cat glanced at her opponent, seeing that he paid no attention, Kitty rushed to help her friend.
- Let's get out of here! - She said helping Claire walk, this didn't look like things were going to calm down.
As they were able, the two friends reach the safe area. Claire immediately began to help her friend.
- Why don't you heal your wound first? It doesn't look right and you insist on healing my arm first - Kitty said.
- I'm finishing up - her friend replied.
The female cat was still wondering why the Guard had let her go ... What would be his reasons? He had enough opportunity to sentence her or arrest but he didn't ...
From the first time they met she had been distracted. Why did they have such enigmatic contacts?
He is the enemy and could not have that kind of ... Feelings?
-What's wrong? - Asked her friend.
- Nothing, I'm just tired, it was a hard day - she replied.
- It's true, it all got out of control, I fear for the consequences - Claire added.
- First we must worry about the losses and see what we'll do later ...- Kitty said.
- You did what?! Puss asked his best friend.
- Shhh - he silenced him - I couldn't help it ... I couldn't leave her in that state. Besides that lady was sacrificed for a child and she ended up badly injured ...
He knew Joey, always watched over the right side. If it were for him he wouldn't work on this, he only did it for necessity, in this realm it was difficult to live with so many prejudices.
- Yes, it's okay, I understand, but ... Did you make sure no one saw you? - Asked Puss.
- Those I beat weren't from our squad, hopefully they were able to react - he said assuredly.
- Be careful ... I hope they don't know that you did that or worse ... that they recognize you - warned the orange cat.
- Puss ... you know I'm getting fed up with such shit, these people have a bad life while here they rejoice and all for that stupidity of a fine line ... I don't know why they leave them like this, living that way. They should let them leave here as a minimum.
He agreed with him, they were different realities and supported him. What was the purpose of letting them live like this? Show superiority or what?
They could do nothing, they were just subordinates nothing more.
Now ... the other thing is ... Why the hell did he let her go? Kitty was her name as he listened.
He didn't even have the answer to that doubt.
Her gaze and face were on his mind. She showed such courage, determination, she didn't hesitate to face difficulties.
It was a difficult attraction to ignore and recognize. It wasn't like looking at Dulcinea that it was ... empty. Kitty's were full of strength, vitality, which despite all she persevered, she was independent.
Although he has seen her couple of times, he could see that she did it just to survive. He wasn't excusing her but something told him that she wasn't bad, maybe that's why he let her go.
He wouldn't try to think of her, go ahead and not confuse his head, it wasn't right, it was against his principles.
Dulcinea was in her room thinking of the information she had just received. His father's plan was this: So that all had the option and opportunity, he decided that the first to marry would stay with the palace to be queen. Although the rest of the sisters could equally opt for the other palaces, in fact none of them would stay in the "misery".
But this palace was much larger and more powerful. Being the future queen would give her many points in her favor.
This would start when the child is of legal age that would be within a month.
His father would give the approval to the one they chose, what he asked most is that it belonged to an important family, better if it was from another realm to unify them and to continue on the top.
She wanted this palace anyway, the problem is that her two older sisters had more chances because they had their suitors.
She threw one of her figures to the floor. She didn't want to allow that, wasn't willing to keep the leftovers, for that she was planning something soon.
Puss would be his goal. Yes, he is a simple real guard but could use him in several ways. She knew he felt things for her so he would do whatever she asks, could manipulate him at her convenience.
They were two options, to be promoted as her bodyguard, to take her to various kingdoms and to find someone with the characteristics that his father asked.
The other option is to get him upgraded to something bigger that is worth something for his father. He could be in charge of the security of the kingdom, that was important or not?
If it were the case, she would marry him, get the power and once ready could mysteriously get rid of him and find another person who really deserved her, someone was at her height and in the best of case unify the kingdom with another.
It was an extensive plan but in order to fulfill her ambitions she didn't care. The important thing was to advance as much as possible before one of her sisters won.
She smiled haughtily.
What Dulcinea didn't know was that although it had been several weeks since Puss had left Kitty free, he couldn't stop thinking about her no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't help it ... He had also found her a couple of times in others situations, obviously not face to face. This made his attention drawn to the way she acted. That elegance and ability to face the enemy ... attracted him.
What a mess he had in his head.
Kitty was going through the same thing, something was forming. Neither did she know what was going on with her. Why did she feel that ... spark in his eyes? Was it ... chemistry?
Somehow she felt that something could offer him, she showed a bit of "sensitivity" to letting go. He transmitted ... that strange feeling, as if he knew her ... of course, this wasn't so ... But he had that sadness in him, she was curious, wanted to know what caused him that he didn't have any need, had a comfortable life.
Kitty wanted to talk about it with her friend, this was wrong, hopefully she could help even if she gave him a stick in the head to get all this through.
Speaking of her, in recent weeks she had been acting weird. Sometimes she left unannounced, Claire came late at night and never told her what she would do, before ... she would tell her, what will it be?
Since she didn't want to tell him, Kitty decided that one day she would find out by following her when she left without her suspecting anything.
