Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Ancestors.
Kitty was searching in her area for information she had asked for the escape plan. Two months have passed since that meeting, they determined that they would need some things to do it, this was to find a good escape route and they would need more people of confidence although this did not concern her since her circle would give everything for the freedom. The most difficult thing was to coordinate those who are priority to leave here for the same reason would see if it was possible to make another escape in the future.
That was where she was, investigating possible escape, heard rumors that there was a secret passage that would lead to this freedom.
But there were things that mocked her and this task served to distract her ... She was referring to the strange things she felt for that ridiculous guard who only saw it a couple of times and it turns out that she had it so distracted and that she had not seen him since taking the medicine.
There was no explanation for those feelings, nothing similar had happened to her, it means, yes, she has had one that another attraction with the cats of her sector but they were passengers or at least nothing strong. This was different even being the enemy each of those conflicting encounter something was growing, didn't know how to explain it.
She was frustrated and insecure ...
She had to forget about this topic soon, supposedly she was doing it, slowly but surely, focusing on the new goals.
The female cat stopped and realized that she had arrived at the place in a short time, it was an old house and in terrible condition. He gently knocked on the door, and in a few minutes a very old cat came out carrying a thin blanket.
- You've finally arrived - he said in a raspy voice. She smiled at him and greeted him.
-Hi. How are you? - She asked in a kind voice.
- Very well, surviving - he said cheerfully. - Come in, I don't have much to offer, excuse me.
- Don't worry about that, we all have the same conditions - she said once they were inside.
- Yes, that's true, but things weren't that way years ago, at least living was easier - he said.
- What was it like here before? - She asked curiously wanting to know more.
- Before this King took the throne, there was no such discrimination, we were in all areas of the kingdom regardless of color. When the King was relieved, the change was abrupt, he wanted a cleaner race and made those decisions - he said.
-What did you do? - He asked again.
-At first, it was very hard, complete families disappeared. Until one day we decided to form a revolutionary group, we discovered this secret passage where a great number of people escaped. It was a difficult task but we succeeded, this lasted until we discovered and closed the place.
-I don't understand those people - the female cat said angrily.
- Neither do I, my child - he said affectionately. - I imagine you lost your loved ones.
- My parents ...- she answered sadly.
- I'm sorry to hear that - said the old cat. - Did you know that there were cats with your characteristics that belonged to the nobility? For example you would have belonged to the "Tuxedo"
- How do you know that I would belong to something like that? - She asked.
- Actually, I met your grandfather. Kitty is your name, isn't it? - He asked and the cat nodded. - He worked for royalty for being Tuxedo, in those times they were valued but then pursued, I helped him when he was in trouble and we became good friends.
Kitty never imagined that she would find this kind of story and less belong to a line of nobility, caught her by surprise.
-Thanks for commenting - she said.
-You're welcome, you look like him ... it's amazing to meet my best friend's granddaughter - said the old man.
- And what is it about the Tuxedos? - Asked Kitty.
- I'll explain you. This upper class was considered all those who were of race or in their absence all who did not have black coat. The Tuxedo cats were determined that they were only a pattern of colors and not a breed but your grandfather belonged to this line of blood - spoke the cat.
-Wow, that would explain my friend Claire, she belonged to a noble family but when they came out with these colors they denied ... - she said thoughtfully.
- At least this information is useful, I'm sorry if I hurt - he added.
-This tunnel we found by chance, we honestly did not know what to do but we decided to take this opportunity. In short, we faked a great rebellion to distract while the rest escaped - he said - Then they found the leak, sealed the tunnel and outside with rocks and on this side built a house above the passage, it is assumed that there is a basement where is the entrance of the tunnel. This house is at the end of this street, it is abandoned.
It would be hard work.
-So what should we do? - She hinted.
- Look for this key of the house, they say it's in the palace ... - said the old man. - The only way to remove the rock block is with explosives.
- Oh ...- she said thoughtfully. - If we succeeded in doing that, would you go with us? - - Kitty asked because with this he was helping enough.
-No... I'm too old to escape ... I'll only be a burden - he said.
- No, don't say nonsense - she said. He shook his head, the female cat looked around, she could not leave him like that and under those conditions - Have you always lived alone?
Suddenly the old man's gaze changed, his eyes showing a clear sadness and he looked down at the floor.
- Don't lie to me - the female cat demanded.
- I lived with someone I loved very much ...- he replied.
-What happened? - Asked Kitty.
- I let her escape that day of the rebellion, she didn't want to leave me alone - she replied. - The truth is that I forced her and promised her I would escape soon ... she was pregnant ... I didn't want her and my children to live in this environment ...
This time she was stunned. He has not seen his family in years! Worst of all, he did not even know his children!
She couldn't allow this.
-In that case, you will go with us! I will not leave him here! If necessary, I will take him by force! Kitty said determinedly.
- I don't want to get in the way, daughter - said the old man.
- Then do it in memory of my grandfather, your best friend - she negotiated.
The old cat stared at her sadly and since she had left him with no choice, he accepted.
When Joey saw in the state that his friend arrived at the quarters, he could not believe it ... He was like a ghost, he was totally dead and he looked overwhelmed ... defeated.
He knew the cause of all this and had a name: Dulcinea.
- Seriously, my friend, I can't understand it - said Puss.
- What despot is she? - Said the two-tone cat in annoying tone.
- It's not that ... I didn't want to tell you before, but she suddenly does things - he said.
- I don't get it - Joey said.
- There are times when she approaches me as if we were something, she provokes me or she becomes jealous if someone approaches me and ignores me the other day - he explained.
- She is manipulating you Puss, understand it - said his friend, for him, it was clear but the one who was in love with a princess, a forbidden love, would not see.
- She's different when she's alone, she treats me differently - the orange cat excused. - Around these people have to show another facet.
- Puss ... even if it were the case, the King wouldn't allow it, did she say anything to you? - Joey asked.
- No - he replied.
- That's exactly what I imagined. You'll end up very bad if you continue like this - advised your friend - You have to get the idea.
-I don't know, I feel terrible - Puss said.
- If someone loves you, it doesn't make you feel that way - Joey snapped. - Try to do your job away from her until you clear up, find other goals. Dulcinea hurts you - he said coldly.
Puss did have a goal and was to capture that thief a good time to stop prowling in his mind; he doesn't care about her.
- How will I talk to her like that? - Asked the orange.
- Well, ask her why she does that to you, her intentions ... so you'll realize everything - he explained.
His friend was right, it was true, she was hurting him, even she confused him with his actions and the best thing he could do is to move away from her.
-Remember, if someone really loves you, wouldn't hurt you - Joey insisted. - Take care of things.
Puss nodded. Why did he get into such complicated things? To propose to work calmly, to fulfill orders, to capture the thief and to leave Dulcinea, was difficult to him, because he had feelings towards princess for a long time ... but it was complicated to forget it to her.
He was a masochist since he realized the manipulation of her, just a couple of glances, flirting and everything was going to fuck. It was like taking five steps and going back ten.
As the days passed, Puss felt better as the routine of the barracks kept him busy, avoiding at all costs to go to the palace excusing himself that he had other duties or some round, all thanks to Joey.
It was not easy to get out of the heart and mind Dulcinea, would take time for this and almost every night, went out with his friend to the bars, not to drink, otherwise, to distract himself with a "good" landscape. A way to suppress what he felt. Also what kept him busy was the search for that thief but he waited for her to appear but he had no luck.
This is how his life went.
Joey finally got a space to go to the meeting point. They needed to talk about the details of the plan and review the progress. The moment they met again, Kitty immediately told the story of an old man, within the whole of it, they would need a key and materials to demolish the rocks on the other side.
- I can do the research on the key - Joey said. - It will take a little time.
- In order to get that key - Claire said, giving her hand to support him.
- We should get that and go inside one day to recognize the territory - Kitty said.
- Yes, that would be a good idea - the guard agreed. - The explosives ... Mmm, it's going to be harder, it would draw a lot of attention if we take it" borrowed "
- We'll need to distract them - Kitty said as the guard thought of an idea. Claire spoke.
- According to Noah and Carlos, the escape would have to be at night, it has to be as low profile as possible, so that we don't raise suspicion... The problem is that yes or yes, the explosives will raise the alert, anyway, they'll wait for us with several wagons to get us out of here - said the dark female cat.
- I can think of an idea! We can take the explosives on the day of the ceremony that is being prepared! They will introduce the princesses to other kingdoms in the square here, which means, the security will be focused on that.
- Excellent idea! - Kitty agreed. - We can divide the task in the group, in case the alarm is on we can distract them inside the sector, finally they think we want to boycott the ceremony.
- I like it - he said cheerfully.
- We have several who can help us with this - Claire said.
- When will the couple come again? - He asked.
- In a week - his girlfriend replied.
After this talk, the trio shared a moment together. Kitty trusted Joey more and it reassured her, she was happy that her friend was in good hands. She took the opportunity to tell the story of the old man and her grandfather, everything related to the Tuxedo, this clearly surprised both of them, especially to Claire since the reason for the abandonment of her was never explained.
A week later they were reunited with Noah and Carlos, they agreed that plans were made, to acquire that pair of things. After that Carlos would come to recognize the land and how much rock there was on the other side determine the amount of explosives they would need while Claire calculated the number of people and calculate the number of wagons.
Dulcinea was angry because her plans were not going well, first her father came up with the great idea of having a party in the kingdom and invite families to introduce them to society and be able to get engaged to some prince.
That meant more competition, and what she had advanced was useless, her other sisters would have the same chance that she could even overtake her. This would be in one more week.
The other thing that wasn't working was to convince her father to promote Puss. She tried and a lot. He told her that he had done a good job, that he was proactive, that he never left her alone, etc. His father argued that it was his job.
It was frustrating!
She had also noticed the distance between her and Puss in recent weeks. She did not understand what happened, she thought she had him in her hand but no. The idea was to have him close, in case she managed to be promote and able to use it to obtain the power she wanted so much, so in her judgment, she didn't deserve to keep her hands empty.
