Thanks for the reviews and you'll just have to read and see what's gonna happen!
I woke up feeling damp, but oddly dry. I opened my eyes and blinked, not exactly sure where I was. I sighed and shifted, shaking my fur and stretching. I perked my ears up and I heard rain, but none was pouring down on me. I turned my head and looked, I was inside, inside what? Really, I had no idea. There was concrete under my paws, and I looked up and hey, concrete.
I turned around again to find that I wasn't alone. There were a bunch of kittens here, yep. The ones I'd met. Victoria, Pouncival, Jemima, Tumblebrutus. And a bunch of others. I saw one tom who was sitting far off. Something in my right mind told me that he was Mistoffolees. How did I know? Well that sparkly stuff all over his fur might give you a hint, only a little hint though.
I sighed, not being able to get back to sleep. I cocked my head as I stared out into the rain. Having nothing to do, I thought about going home, hoping to find Drake fit and fine waiting for me. Would he come and look for me if he was alive? Should I have attacked Munkustrap? Would I ever fully understand this whole Jellicle cat thing? So many questions, but some more important then others.
I knew I couldn't leave. One, I really don't want to get wet. Two, I don't want to worry any of these other cats if they find me missing. Three, Um, I'll get back to you on that one. I curled up in a ball, closing my eyes. I could never really get to sleep though. I listened to the heavy raindrops outside the pipe and little snores of other cats. I felt like something was missing. Maybe it was that warm furry body that I usually slept next to by the fire? I knew that answer, yes, I missed Drake so much. It was impossible to forget.
And so I thought, thought about Drake. I think I think about Drake to much. But what would you think if you thought your best friend in the whole world was dead?
I yawned as I felt someone shaking me. I must've finally fell asleep because I woke up a bit startled. I looked around and there was Jemima, looking at me, a bright smile on her face. I just cocked my head, wondering what was so important she just had to wake me up for. Before I got a chance to ask my question, she said.
"Munkustrap says that we can look for your dog today."
That got me. I jolted up and almost hit my head on the dang concrete. I rubbed my head with paw and then looked back at her. Was she serious? Yeah, she was serious. That was a question I didn't have to ask.
"Is it going to be me, him, and you?"
Jemima stopped, and said in a low voice.
"He doesn't want me or you to come. He thinks that the dogs still dangerous, even after Demeter told him."
I slapped my face with my paw, frustrated. What was with that silver tabby. If I wanted to I could find Drake all on my own. I sighed and frowned. Shaking my head.
"He doesn't know where I live? Plus, Drake wouldn't hurt me."
"Munkustrap won't listen, he thinks you're a little kitten who doesn't know what she's talking about."
"So what's he plan to do? Just let me feel guilty because it was me who was stubborn enough to not want to leave when we should have?"
"No, he wants you to stay in the Junkyard, away from Drake."
"He doesn't know Drake! He can't assume."
"He can do whatever he wants, he's the strongest and the Jellicles look up to him. So naturally what he says goes and they all support him."
"That's stupid, what are they mindless, brainless fools who need someone with no clue about the real world to guide them?"
"No, some of us think he a bit to over protective, but....he has too many cats that side with him. War in the Junkyard would only cause problems for us all."
"So what are you saying?"
"I say we go find Drake....on our own."
I raised an eyebrow. She was good. I smirked and nodded my head. I loved doing things that would eventually lead to getting myself in trouble. And what Jemima was planning sounded like good old T-R-O- U-B-L-E. She smiled back and nodded. We were off on a mission, to find my other best friend.
Short. But I hope you enjoyed. I'll keep writing and don't forget to review.
