Chapter Four: Dreaming of the Past
"We need to find my mom", a frantic Kitty said. "First we gotta find Bentley", Murray said. " Ya know, I bet he's still at my mansion..."Kitty trailed off, her eyes suddenly glazed over. She fell asleep in her chair.
"Daddy, who's at the door?" A baby Kitty asked.
"Get in the closet, Kitty! NOW!" Her father yelled.
"Daddy, who's at the door? Is it the po-" Kitty got cut off by her father.
"GET IN NOW!" Kitty had never seen her father so worried.
Kitty scurried into the closet. She shut the door, but the hinge was broken and it stayed open about an inch. All of a sudden, there was a huge crash and when the dust cleared, Kitty noticed a big hole in the wall. Three dark figures came in. Kitty recognized them as the most dangerous criminals in the world. They attacked her father. He beat every one of them except...A huge bear. He clawed at her father, and beat him. He took a look around and raised his paw one last time.
"DADDY!" Kitty cried. "Oopsie..." The bear had turned her way. Grinning wickedly, he brought his paw down on her father...
"Kitty? Kitty! Wake up!" Sly was frantically trying to wake up Kitty. She woke up and began to sob wildly. "Daddy, oh my daddy! You stupid bear! I'll kill you! I'LL KILL YOU-" Once again, Kitty was cut off by Sly." Whoa, Kitty, you need to cool down a bit. Tell us what's wrong", Sly said. "The bear...the bear...daddy...ohhhh, my head!" "What...?" Sly was hoping he didn't just hear what he thought he heard. "Did you just say...a bear?" "Yeah...He...He killed my, my father..." Kitty couldn't go on. Sly just sat there, wondering how she survived...But then, he survived under the attack of the Fiendish Five...
"FREEZE, COOPER!" WHAM! The doors to the van burst open and Inspector C.M.F. burst through the doors with about fifty other Interpol officers. "Aw, harpsichords! Murray roared. Sly stared at him in awe. Without warning, he charged into Carmelita, punching and kicking. He flung her against the wall, knocking her out cold. Then he flung himself into the rest of the cops, knocking them out as well. "MURRAY!" Sly yelled. He ran over to Murray and knocked him out with a swift bang on the head from his cane. He then ran to Carmelita and took her head in his arms, slowly rocking it. Hot, stinging tears formed in Kitty's eyes. She began to feel what Clockwerk felt, overflowing jealousy and rage. As Kitty watched, she got an idea. Slowly, an evil smile crept across her face.
"The transformation is complete, and the disease has reached the victim", said the dark shadow. Loud, metallic laughter rang throughout the warehouse, echoing into the night.
