Cat comes home
Cat looked around and there was nobody there. Guess they had forgotten that she was due back today. Oh well with Rev gone, the place had felt very lonely. There were voices coming from the kitchen, Brennan's among them. As she walked in, he choked on his drink.
"Oh, God, I'd forgotten you were coming home today. Baby, I'm sorry! With everything that's gone on in the last few days..." he explained.
Cat didn't say a word. She reached for a drink and walked out again. Her friends had forgotten all about her. Had Rev done that same? Had her best friend forgotten about her?
Walking into the lab, Cat stopped short when she saw Rev. She was back and nobody told her she was home. Turning around, Cat ran into Jesse. "I'm sorry, Cat. I should have told you she was back," he said.
"No big deal. I have the feeling I'm not wanted around here anymore. So maybe I should just leave," Cat said with tears in her voice. Her home didn't feel like home anymore. She walked aimlessly around the hallways until she got to the pond. The shadow of a large bird flew over her head. Cat sat down heavily by the waterfall that ran from the wall. She had missed Rev and the others, but getting away had been the best thing for her.
"Hey,hon," whispered Revolution as she walked over to where Cat stood gazing sadly into the pond "What's wrong?"
Cat wiped a stray tear from her cheek and shook her head.
"It's nothing," she replied.
"Liar," said Revolution nudging her gently.
Cat laughed and shook her head.
"Later," she exclaimed.
Revolution wrapped her arm around Cat's shoulder.
"I sure did miss you," she said.
Cat was like a sister to her. The feral had risked her life to help Revolution and that was something Revolution would never forget.
"What happened to your arm?" asked Cat.
Revolution giggled. "Rev fall down and go boom," she replied.
Cat laughed.
"Why is everyone so down in the dumps?" asked Cat.
"Wow, aren't you just bursting with the inquisitiveness today?" asked Revolution laughing.
Cat looked at Revolution, she could see large bags under her best friend's eyes, eyes that were filled with typical Revolution style fury.
"Do you know Allison Turner?" asked Revolution.
"I don't know her personally, I know of her. I think Brennan introduced me to her once."
"She was murdered yesterday," said Revolution.
Cat could feel anger rip through her as Revolution described the situation to her. She may not have known Allison very well, but no one especially someone who seemed as nice as Allison deserved that kind of death.
"What are we going to do about it?" asked Cat.
"I don't know, Everyone's still kind of in shock about it," replied Revolution "You should have seen it, it was horrible."
Cat instinctively enveloped the younger girl in her arms.
"We'll find who did this," she whispered.
Revolution sat back up and straightened her shoulders. Her posture regaining its pride. She nodded.
"Guys?" asked Shalimar "Breakfast is ready."
