Hi everyone! Enjoy the new chapter with cheap translation! (xD)
Chapter 11: Complications.
- Come on, Puss, we're late! - He hastened.
- I'm coming! - He said putting his hat on his head - It's supposed to start in an hour!
- Claire is waiting for me! - He answered anxiously.
-That explains a lot - he murmured rolling his eyes.
- Besides, it's our free night! - Joey said.
- Define freedom! - he yelled jokingly.
-Shut up! - He defended himself - Let's go!
Both left the barracks quietly looked around to make sure they weren't followed. hurriedly crossed the most critical area to get to the tavern without problems. When they entered, could notice that the party had already started, many people were there, you could even feel the warmth of the atmosphere.
He was anxious to see Kitty, he wondered what the meeting would be, now they have some difficulties. Puss was sitting next to Joey and Claire at a table, they chatted happily as the orange cat peeked around looking for Kitty.
An hour passed when he saw her behind the wall that separated the rooms from the place.
-Excuse me a few minutes, I'll come in a while - Puss said getting up from the chair.
-What? Have you already stared at someone? - Joey bothered him.
-Nah - he said carelessly - Playing the violin isn't my thing.
- Ha ha - He has laughed ironically while Claire covered her mouth not to laugh.
Kitty was waiting for him and as soon as she saw him crossing the room, she took him by the hand, Puss didn't expect her to give him a passionate kiss, the kind you die of wanting to do it.
-Why did you take so long? - he asked with a smile on his face.
-I had to make time, Claire wanted me to come with her and I imagined that you would be with your friend - she answered.
- At least, it was worth the wait - said funny.
- True - she agreed - Are we going to the new zone? – Kitty asked - There is a large patio, it's quiet. Also a place where you can lie on the lawn and enjoy the outdoors.
-In that case, I follow you - he replied, liking the idea.
They passed through the crowd and passed through several rooms with their different environments until they reached the patio, saw that there was a pool in the middle and several benches set aside to have more privacy. Although it was winter, it was a pleasant night.
They sat on the edge of the pool, as there were no more benches available besides the pool isn't working yet.
-It's great - Puss said looking at the details.
-Yes - she said looking at the sky - I love places like that.
-How's your arm going? - asked his boyfriend as he looked at the bandage on her shoulder.
-Well, I really don't pay attention, it's habit I think - said funny. He smiled at her words, looking at her face and noticed that Kitty was wearing a thin pendant with a small moon.
-And that? I never saw you before - asked Puss curiously.
-It is a chain that belonged to my mother, she liked the moon very much and my father gave it to her on an anniversary - she explained - I always wear it on special occasions - she added
- It's beautiful - said admiring the necklace - You flatter me to use it in this meeting - said Puss.
-It's the least I can do, you make my days happy and what better than to bring this - she said.
He came over to kiss her tenderly.
-What would have happened to me if I had not met you? - Puss asked.
-For example... Being the puppet of a certain character? - Kitty proposed keeping the short distance with Puss and speaking softly.
- Yes - said the orange cat.
-Can I tell you something? - asked the black female cat.
-Obviously - he said.
-But don't laugh - she replied a little embarrassed, he shook his head and she continued- Remember that time I went to the palace?
-Yes, of course, I remember it - he laughed remembering that time.
-Ehh - said hesitating a little - Before entering the castle, I could see you talking to that princess ... and also she kissed you - she said - At that time, we were nothing, obvious, but I couldn't help but get jealous ...
Puss was surprised about what he heard and even caused a bit of grace and his girlfriend glared at him.
-You told me you wouldn't laugh - she said in love.
-Don't misunderstand me - he said apologizing - Only that caused me tenderness on your part, that night several things happened - he said in a roguish way to approach and kiss her passionately while Kitty laughed - Was the beginning of everything without knowing it - Puss added.
-I think it started much earlier, we didn't assume it only - she said laughing slightly and her partner joined and then she placed her arm on his shoulders.
- It isn¿t necessary to tell you that I'm only for you, or not? - the orange cat asked. She winked. -You know that capricious princess doesn't mean anything to me.
-I trust you, silly, you don't have to give me explanations - she said - I don't want to look like a controlling girlfriend - she said in joking tone.
Puss laughed - I think you're just taking care of your territory - continuing with the joke, he approached her neck causing a tickle to Kitty, who couldn't help laugh.
It was music to Puss's ears, it made him happy when he heard her laugh, and without a doubt, she was the one who filled her life with light.
On the part of the female cat, those moments that she spent time with him, were a kind of recreation in her days, a time when Kitty shouldn't worry about surviving, but otherwise, live, even if these were a few hours. She said the reason why was addicted to her Royal Guard.
The moment she opened her eyes, could detect that her friend was coming from Joey's hand, heading to that area. Her eyes were wide open.
-Puss hide yourself! - She hurried.
-What? - he asked disoriented without knowing anything.
- Hide! - she answered and didn't find anything better than to push him to the other side of the pool, thanking that there was no water.
-Ouch! - complained Puss.
-I'm sorry - she said sadly.
- Nothing happens- he said in a sore whisper.
Claire was surprised to see the female cat sitting alone on the edge of that pool.
- Kitty? - asked her friend - What are you doing here?
-Ah? Hello! - said she who "didn't understand anything" - I came to know the new place. Is it great or not?
-Yes, but ... When did you arrive? I didn't even see you pass and you didn't go to say hello -she complained.
Kitty couldn't help get nervous.
-The truth is I arrived recently and I wanted to go first here, inside it is overwhelming to say the least.
-What's wrong? You act strange - accused the two-colored cat.
-Nothing! I think you're overreacting with your mother bear interrogation - she said.
Joey laughed and Puss had to cover his mouth and not laugh. While Claire glared at her and her boyfriend too.
-I'm sorry my love, you have to admit it was funny - apologized Joey.
- Yes, too much- she said sarcastically.
- Hey Kitty - Joey called her - I came with a friend who is out there. Would not you like to meet him?
-Not thanks, I'm fine - she said knowing, who he was referring to, she had to restrain herself from laughing, since they had gone ahead several weeks ago.
-Wow, how sharp - said funny.
-When she agrees, you saw her with her "I'm single and I do what I want" - Claire accused her.
-Hey! Don't say that - claimed Kitty - Rather it is the opposite, I love to dance and enjoy my condition, not as stiff as I know - she defended herself.
- Stop the accusations - said Joey, seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, although he had little idea about those "friendly" encounters that were more frequent than he thought.
-Ok - Kitty said getting up from her seat - Enjoy this place, talking about dancing made me want to go to the track - she added leaving from there quickly - Goodbye!
Upon entering the dance area, she joined because it was a group choreography. The moment that this piece ended, the female cat could meet Puss, a bit surprising since he hugged her from behind.
- My beautiful dancer, a new thing that I learned today from you - he said, Kitty looked at him and caressed his cheek turning on herself to have him in front.
-And you like that? - she asked temptingly.
-Of course - he answered.
- It's good to know - she said.
Just at time began a song to dance as a couple, Kitty recognized immediately because she loved it.
- Just follow me - she said staring at Puss.
This song began slowly, gave the first words as if describing the feeling they were living.
(The theme is: Feeling Good by Michael Bublé if you want to hear it)
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by
You know how I feel
Kitty was walking around Puss, it seemed like she was stalking him. He began to imitate her.
It's a new dawn
The female cat took his hand and began to roll with his arm until it was at his side, more or less his neck was close to Puss's mouth , with her unoccupied hand caressed the cheek of the orange cat.
It's a new day
Puss slowly approached to kiss Kitty's neck but she smiled mischievously.
It's a new life
She flexed one of her legs slightly to create a little distance between them to avoid contact. Puss laughed gutturally.
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
When the song's paragraph ended, it became more hurried. The thief pushed herself to the other side to make that spin and Puss led her spinning to the rhythm of the trumpet that was slow to fast.
Puss was capturing the choreography and imitating others who knew it, picked up Kitty from the waist and then pushed to turn with her, he didn't know how he did it because the pirouettes quite complicated.
The song became slower and was about to end. The pair was facing each other, spinning just as slowly until the orange cat held Kitty from her back, while she held onto his neck with her hands. Both were agitated and smiled widely.
-Oh no! They come again! - Puss said disarming the position with hardly because they still didn't recover from the dance. He dragged Kitty by the hand.
-Where can we hide? I can't think of another side - Kitty asked.
Puss couldn't respond to her, because he had to make a quick move, his friends were looking for them and they had to tear up another area, moving away a little from the bustle and it was more private. The orange cat directed his thief behind a wall and when they looked at each other, they could not help laugh.
Unexpectedly an alarm sounded, most people knew what it meant, especially those that belonged to the lower area, it was not good.
- Shit - Kitty said looking worried.
-What happens? - Puss asked, since he had never encountered such a situation, he had been there recently.
-The guards are coming, you have no problem you can stay but we shouldn't - she answered.
- Let's escape - said his boyfriend.
-But ... it's more dangerous that they see you with me if they catch me - she said hugging and kissing his cheek, not wanting to get away from him and if she did, Kitty didn't know how long they were going to be separated.
-I don't intend to leave you alone - he answered taking her hand and staring at her.
-Puss ... - looked at him in the same way - You must follow the protocols here, it's for mutual security, I promise you nothing will happen to me - she assured him - Remember I must help Claire.
Finally, he agreed to his regret, nodding slightly.
- I love you - she said without thinking, first time she said it. He looked at her in dismay when he heard those beautiful words from her. Kitty kissed him and he returned.
-Me too, my darling. Take care - he said goodbye.
Puss waited for his thief to leave to cover her back, then returned to try to meet his friend, was lucky because he found him where the bar was, he was no longer with Claire. He noted that the place emptied more than half and the rest acted normally when they saw Puss y Joey's teammates, who belonged to another squadron. They were supervising.
They knew that the guards arrived there because at one time there was a rumor circulating, in that tavern was full of treacherous and wanted to go check and take action.
As for Kitty, she was on the rooftops and watched the others sneaking out of there. But she was looking for her friend and remembered that she wouldn't go up where she was, since she isn't very skilled, so Kitty chose to go down, obviously being careful that they didn't see her. The female cat began looking around, finally could find her behind some boxes and barrels.
-Let's get out of here, quick! - she whispered.
- And where will we go? - Claire asked a little disoriented.
-Follow me, I know several shortcuts, do't worry just stay tuned if we need to run - she warned - I have seen several squadrons have arrived and we are likely to meet them in the corridors.
-Oh! Why does always we meet the most difficult thing? - she asked.
-Nah, you'll see it will be fun. A little excitement will be good - said Kitty, playing down the importance.
When they were in the middle zone, they were already inflicting the rule of not mixing with commoners, for that reason she had to be much more careful not to be caught. The thief was trying the ground to avoid this, she clung to the wall to take a look at the street, thank goodness there was nobody. Kitty looked back and signaled her friend to move forward and they crossed the street. They were hurrying through several passages and Claire and Kitty realized that it was drizzling.
- We must hurry - said the black cat in a low voice, and Claire nodded silently.
They started jogging to get there faster, the further they went, more noticed the wall that separated the social classes and before they could cross. Kitty heard a patrol approaching.
-Shh, stop - she said to her friend.
She observed the situation and it turns out that they were blocking her way to the other side. The worst of all, there were a few guards came in, but several meters away, they were being surrounded.
- Get in there, fast - she said looking sideways.
Once they entered, Kitty looked between the boards, didn't spend five minutes and saw a couple of patrols.
-Uff, we saved - she said relieved.
-I'm glad - said Claire scared - I don't want to move, I don't see anything and don't want to make noise.
- Wait a little - said the cat who was making an improvised torch.
-At the time, if I leave with another group they would have captured me - she joked when sawing her friend.
- It's ... just the experience - she said downplaying - Just like you know a lot about medicine.
- Thanks, I feel useless - she said a little sad.
- Don't be silly - she said - Ok, let's get out of here before the rain intensifies - the female cat added taking her hand again to guide her - I think it's around here.
She led Claire through the house, it looked a little like the house that had the tunnel, only it was much older, the floor was made of wood, so each step of the planks creaked. They climbed the stairs reaching the top floor. Kitty was looking for some way out of the roof, fortunately she found a skylight that had intact glass.
- Hold the torch - Kitty said.
She could see that it wasn't difficult to climb, since Claire wasn't good at jumps. He looked for a blunt object to break the glass.
- They won't realize with the noise? - she asked seeing the intentions of her friend.
-From here I don't think, anyway you have to take risks - she answered and threw the object, then the thief went up furniture to be able to leave. Once up, she threw herself to the ground and stretched her hands to help her friend.
- Go ahead - he said.
-Ok - she answered and went up with a little difficulty, she pushed herself to jump into Kitty's hands, who received and helped her.
- Let's go - said the black cat and before advancing she observed the place where they was and so she was oriented. They were relatively close and the best thing is the heights and distance of the roofs were short, so she wouldn't have problems with Claire.
They ran several blocks, until reached one that had many more houses and the escape was getting longer.
Everything was fine until they reached an area where the separation between the houses was long, so there was a kind of wooden support that Kitty and Claire would allow to use a rope and swing. Quickly, the dark female cat looked around for some, until she found it and immediately jumped to this support.
-Take this end - she said throwing the tip of the rope, Kitty made a knot leaving as much rope available to be able to swing. She did it without thinking, once she was on the other side, tightened the rest of the rope for safety.
Suddenly they heard noise, as if there was a fight with the guards, maybe they found a group.
That question was answered instantly.
- There are others! Go for them! - shouted one and a group of them separated to go after her.
-Claire jumps right now! - Kitty ordered.
-It scares me! - She said hesitantly.
-Come on, Claire! There is no time for doubts! - She shouted back and her friend closed her eyes.
-Do it now! - She shouted a little upset as she saw that the guards were coming dangerously up the house.
The two-colored cat jumped and swayed strongly, her nerves cried out. Kitty received her, detaining in time, then cut the rope and ran towards the wall. The thief didn't let go of her friend and didn't even look back, Kitty didn't want to see how many of them were chasing after them.
They climbed to the wall and when Claire and Kitty were at the top they realized that unfortunately, they weren't at a point where could easily get off, the two female cat opted to run back along that wall. The blue-eyed cat was attentive to see if she could find any side where they could descend, she was urging.
Kitty could see that there was a lot of hay, enough to cushion them. She didn't even warn her, nor asked her friend when she pushed her and after she jumped following her.
Finally, they were out of danger.
-Uf, almost- said Kitty between agitated and relieved.
- Oh, I'll die of fright - she said sighing just as agitated.
-Are you okay? - she asked.
- If you mean, scared and with spiky hairs, yes, I fine - said joker and made Kitty laugh. - Let's go home soon, the rain is very strong.
The friends got up and took off the hay as best they could, ran for the last time to the house where they cleaned and sheltered, also prepared a cup of hot milk resting in the living room with a blanket. They were happy that were healthy and safe.
