Can't have a confused reader about, now can I? Thanks for all the nice
reviews! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
Bethany moved the string across the floor slowly. Bastet watched and bent a little as she prepared to pounce. Bethany moved the string faster and Bastet jumped on it. She laughed as Bastet's tiny claws tried to hold onto it.
"Silly thing." She said, giggling. She wished she had more time to play with her kitten like this. Bastet was a beautiful kitten and Bethany adored her.
"Bethany! We have to go!"
"Coming Daddy!" She answered as she got up off the floor and grabbed her katana. "Be a good girl, Bastet." Bethany ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
Her mistress was always running away. Bastet was used to spending time to amuse herself. The little kitten went over to where Bethany kept her swords and started playing with the tassel on the hilt of it.
"Alright guys, she ain't here. Let's go get it." Was heard. The door opened slowly to reveal Jamie, Chris, and Nicky walking slowly into Bethany's room. Bastet mewed at them as they entered her lair. They were never suppose to be in here! Mistress said it many times before.
"Shh, Bastet, shhh." Jamie whispered. "You'll give us away to mommy!" When she would not stop, he pulled a shiny piece of wrapper out of his pocket and bunched it up into a ball. He threw it over to Bastet, whose attention turned to the nice shiny thing. She started hitting it with her paw and ignored the boys as they went pass her.
"Where are they?" Nicky asked impatiently As Jamie looked through Bethany's shelf. He got a thing of paint from the very back.
"Here it is." He showed them the ruby red cup of paint that looked like blood. "As long as we do not spill it, she will never know."
Chris took the paint from Jamie as they started leaving the room. He was almost out when he tripped over a stuffed animal and spilled some.
"Ah man!" Nicky said as they looked around. They quickly put the paint back and started cleaning up where the paint gathered. They lucked out when they realized that the paint had only fallen on either clothes or objects. They wiped the paint off the objects and gathered the soiled clothes together and put them in the hamper, praying they would wash out in the next load of laundry. The boys looked around, making sure they had gotten everything.
Jamie heard Bastet mewing again and turned to shut her up. His jaw dropped when he saw her. "Uh oh!"
Bastet had spots of red paint all over her fur.
Nicky and Chris groaned as they saw her. "What are we gonna do now?" Chris asked as Jamie picked Bastet up by her clean still black sides.
"We're gonna have to give her a bath." Jamie announced.
"A bath?" Chris and Nicky asked at the same time. Jamie nodded.
"Or else Beth will find out we were in her room." Jamie told them as he started walking toward the bathroom. The twins followed and locked the door behind them.
Jamie had Chris start running the water as they tried to keep Bastet calm.
"Good girl, Bastet. Keep quiet." They told her. Bastet looked frantically around herself. What was all that thundering noise? Why was this little boy holding her? No one but her mistress held her! Jamie bit his lip as he felt Bastet's tiny claws come out.
Jamie dropped her into the water. Nicky and Chris held her down as Jamie tried to figure out whether to use shampoo or soap. They had forgotten to turn off the water.
"Jamie, hurry up, she is starting to bite!" Chris told him. Jamie grabbed the soap and started washing the paint off Bastet. The kitten started mewing. What were these two legged things doing to her?
The water was turning pink as the boys pants got soaked by the water that started flowing over the tub. Sara, wondering why the water was on, stood infront of the bathroom, horrified to find the rug next to it getting soaked. She knocked on the door.
"What the hell are you three doing in there?!" She yelled.
"Nothing." The three of them answered as she heard the water get turned off. She heard them whisper as they started moving around.
"Don't give me that! What are you doing?" She asked again, this time getting no reply. "James Connor Nottingham, if you do not open this door this second..." She heard the door unlock. She turned the handle and opened the door.
The boy's clothes were soaked through and the floor was a huge puddle. The boys all looked down. Sara was about to yell when she heard a mewing sound behind the door. She looked behind the door to find poor Bastet soaking wet, her now clean black fur clinging to her and her tail looking like a skinny little piece of string.
Sara grabbed a towel and picked up the shivering little kitten and didn't say a word. She looked to Jamie and said
"Wait till your sister and your father come home." Jamie groaned. She looked at Chris and Nicky. "And wait till YOUR father comes to pick you up. Now clean up this bathroom, NOW!"
The three boys moaned and started getting everything cleaned up. Bastet mewed happily as Sara dried her off. The could have sworn they heard her say "Serve you right."
