Chapter Six: Family…and Friends?
As Kitty got ready to strike, she had an odd vision. Her father was sitting there, in his favorite leather chair. But something was wrong. His eyes were not the beautiful green they had been before, but a milky white. Was he…dead? No. But he was angry. Angry that he had been murdered, angry that he couldn't save his wife, angry about everything. But Kitty didn't know it.
She walked up to her father slowly. When she reached out to touch him, she got a strange feeling in her stomach, of anger and hatred. She didn't like the feeling one bit, and promptly let go. However, her father had different ideas. He grabbed onto her with ice-cold hands (paws, actually) and simply stated "bad cat". All of a sudden the vision ended, and Kitty was back in reality. But before she could get a full grasp, she was lurched yet again into another vision. This one, however, was more pleasant.
She was sitting at a table, and her best friend was sitting across from her, staring into space. Bunny. The thought reverberated around her head like an umbrella in a windstorm. She missed her friend so much…She then woke up and found herself back in the van. She got up and walked over to where Sly was still sitting, oblivious to all around him, but before Kitty could say anything she felt a dull thunk in her chest. She looked down just long enough to see one of Bentley's sleeping darts rapidly disappearing in a green cloud, then fell over onto the floor.
When Kitty awoke, she was in for just about the greatest surprise ever. She was in her bed at home. Her mom was there. Not surprising at all. But…BUNNY! "B…Bunny…? Bunny, is it…really you…?" Kitty could barely whisper. However, Bunny had such great hearing she knew what her friend said, and answered gently. "Yes, Kitty, it is me. Listen closely now. We need to get you out, because Dr. Gemini is coming", Bunny said. "Gemini? You mean, like the rocket?" Kitty's brain was so mixed up right now, she didn't know up from down. But as soon as Bunny explained who Gemini was, it hit Kitty like a…well, rocket. Gemini was the villain who was chasing her. Gemini killed her parents. Gemini was the bear. Gemini was… a GIRL? Noticing Kitty's confused look, she pulled out a photograph of Gemini at some sort of a convention. "Gemini was once a doctor, and even funnier, a pediatrician! No one knows what happened after that, because Gemini disappeared in a flash of red light. According to eye-witnesses, the cure-all she had made backfired and, unfortunately for us, turned her evil", Bunny explained to Kitty. After they were done talking, her mother drove them to her secret area in the forest, not talking but seemingly happy that her daughter was alive."
