It's BlackandWhitechan again! I'm too impatient, so I decided that I might as well put up Chap. 2. I'm aware of the fact that Chap. 1 was just put up today but there's noting else to do! I've gotten bored of everything! None of my usual interests and hobbies interest me today at all! When in doubt, work on your homework…sigh but I can't do that because I don't have any homework! Why not start another Fic instead of another Chap.? I used up all my imagination during the week so this is the only story I'm capable of writing at the moment. So here's Chap.2
Disclaimer: I only own Kit and Talon. If I ever do something to change that, I'll let you know.
Chap. 2: Talon
Jared led Kit to the Spiderwick Estate. "You'll have to rest at our house for a few days until those scratches on you heal. Some of them look pretty nasty. I'm sure nobody will mind."
"Thanks again, Jared. But are you sure that it's safe for me to enter your home? I mean sure you saved my life, but you could be Mulgarath in disguise." Kit shivered at the though of the ogre rescuing her instead if Jared.
The Boy frowned. "I'm pretty sure Mulgarath's gone. He changed into a swallow and was eaten by my friend Hogsqueal."
"Hogsqueal? What on Earth is a Hogsqueal?" Kit raised an eyebrow.
"He's a hobgoblin. You'll probably meet him when we reach my house." He stopped to put the seeing stone back in his knapsack as they reached the gates of the Estate. He reached up and closed his hands around the black iron bars of the gate. The rusted hinges groaned and squealed as they opened. Jared picked up his bag and continued to lead her up and into the house. "This way," He called as he began to climb the stairs. Jared looked back only once to see Kit watching the pendulum of a grandfather clock swing back and forth quietly.
"You have so many strange and amazing things in your house, Jared." Kit stopped when she heard a rustling under the floorboard.
Jared shrugged and continued to head for the study, he was sure he'd find Mallory or Simon or even Aunt Lucinda there. "Kit, if you don't keep up, you'll get lost."
"I can catch up, no worries," She called.
Mallory and Simon looked up as Jared entered the study. He set the knapsack down and turned to his brother and sister, grinning. "I found one."
Mallory raised an eyebrow. "Found what?"
"One of those cat creatures we were looking at last night. She was just about to be eaten by the troll when I found her. I brought her here."
Looking past hit twin into the hallway, Simon asked, "Sooo, where is she?"
Jared spun around. "S-she was right behind me just a second ago, where could she have gone?" He stuck his head out into the hallway. "Kit? Kit, where are you?"
"Looks like you were just making it up," Mallory laughed.
Jared spun around and stared angrily at his sister. "I'm not making it up!"
A sudden brown blur darted into the room and scrambled up Simon's leg onto his shoulder. "Help! It's in the house! A giant cat that thinks I'm a giant mouse!" Thimbletack called out, distressed.
"Giant cat?" Mallory asked.
A furry white figure came darting into the room, knocking Jared over. Thimbletack jumped off the counter and tried to escape into a nearby mouse hole but failed. A white hand enclosed around him and pulled him out of the way as the thing pounced onto him.
Jared stood, brushing himself off. "Kit! There you are."
The cat creature looked up at him. "Hi Jared."
Jared shook his head. "Kit, what are you doing? You can't eat Thimbletack, he's our brownie."
"Oh… Sorry, Thimbletack."
"Jared, this wouldn't happen to be the cat creature you were talking about, would it?" Mallory asked.
"SHE is. This is Kit. Kit, this is my brother Simon and my sister Mallory."
Kit stood. "Nice to meet you." She turned to Jared. "So where is this Hogsqueal you keep telling me about?"
"I'm right here, stupid mouth-breather!" came a shrill cry. Hogsqueal was sitting on the rooftop in front of the open window.
"So that's a hobgoblin. Quite an ugly thing, isn't it?" Kit's amber eyes looked over Hogsqueal closely.
"Ugly! Why you walking pile of crap!"
Thimbletack was laughing so hard he nearly fell off of Simon's shoulder. "She needs no drug, to tell the truth about your mug!"
Hogsqueal turned on the little brownie. "What was that, beetle brain?"
Before the little hobgoblin could do anything to Thimbletack, a large grey figure dashed into the room and started dashing about, knocking over the desk and a couple bookshelves.
Jared felt himself be pinned against the wall with sharp claws. He looked up and his gaze met crimson eyes. "Who are you?" he asked.
The figure turned its head to see Kit pulling on his arm. "Kit…" He released Jared and let him slide to the floor.
Jared looked up see what the thing that attacked him was and saw that it was a cat creature like Kit: He was as tall as Mallory with grey fur. A deep red scar ran down the middle of his back from the nape of his neck to above his tail. He wore the same king of crudely made shorts as kit and a leather band around his left upper arm.
"Talon, what are you doing here?" Kit asked, hugging the grey intruder.
"I was worried that something had happened to you whilst you were out hunting so I went off to look for you. I caught your scent and the scent of a stranger and followed it here."
"Who's he?" Mallory asked, pointing her finger at the stranger.
"This is my friend Talon. He was just worried about me. It's nothing really."
"You call this nothing!" Simon gestured to the destroyed room."
"I guess I got carried away again…" Talon's face turned pink. "I'll clean it up."
So that's chapter 2. It's not all that exciting, I know. But hey, I swear it'll get more exciting! Ideas to make the story more exciting are already starting to pop into my head. Looks like that's all it took for my imagination to be recharged!
Please R+R. It'll make me soooo happy!
