Chapter Two

It's been two days since Princess ran into the group of wildcats. She swore she saw her brother Rusty, but made herself believe he wasn't. Rusty was fatter than that, and looked healthier all together, it was just her imagination. With a big yawn, she padded the smooth wood and fell asleep.

Princes notice something moving outside, jumped down her laying spot, and padded out of the small flap in the door. When she got close enough, it turned out to be a mouse. She started to stalk it moving closer and closer, but when she was ready to pounce, the orange tabby got it before her. She stared at him, waiting for him to leave, just when a big tabby, a tom came from the woods.

"KITTYPET!" the tom growled with his back arched, ready to attack. Princess turned around to head back into her house, when she noticed the tom went after the orange one. Not waiting to find out which one was going to win, she ran into her house, as fast as her body would, but could not. Something felt like it had her leg. She turned around to see what was there, just to realize what was really happening.

"Princes, wake up," it was her master's little one, annoying as he was, grabbed her foot, and started to play with it. Not being in the mood, she growled at him to make him let go, and jerked her leg from him. She tucked her leg into her fat body, as her tale swept the wood in annoyance, she laid her head down and was ready to fall asleep, but that tom kept on waking her. So, to keep herself occupied, she watched the fenced that surrounded her land from the wild land.

She was half asleep when something caught her eyes once again, the tom from her dream. He was padding his way carefully onto her land, but Princess didn't find this welcoming. In fear she raced to the floor and out the door. She stood between this tabby and her home, her back arched up and hissed in fear.

"Get away," she hissed, as the tom started to back up a little.

"Princess it's me!" The tom mewed.

Princess was shocked. How could this tabby know her name, and who is he? Fear still had a hold of her, and she started to growl.

"How do you know my name?" Princess growled and started forward towards him.

"Princess, it's me, Rusty!" The tom mewed again.

"And how do you know my brother's name?" Princess wasn't ready to let go of her fear.

"It's me, Rusty, you're brother, from down the road," the orange tom mewed once again as fear fled from Princess's eyes. She clearly could see that this wasn't the tom that frightened her in her dreams.

"Rusty?" she mewed in curiosity.

"Princess, it's been a while," Rusty purred, he was happy that his sister still remembered him.

Princess was overcome with relief, her brother was still alive, and doing well from the story she heard from her from him. There was a lot to be caught up between the two, but it was getting late. Rusty said good-bye to his sister and ran off into the woods, as princess stood at the fence and watched her brother disappeared into his new home. Jealousy flickered in Princess's heart, but she was happy that her brother was still alive. After sitting, Princess decided to go in, it was starting to become cold. Once inside she made it to her favorite spot once again, and fell asleep, this time with out worries.
