Chapter 10
"Let me out! I'll rip that miserable piece of fur you call a pelt off!" Silentstorm yowled.
We still had no clue what to do. There was no way that dumb twoleg could beat Silentstorm. I don't exactly know who we're saving here. We have to find some way.
"How are we going to do this?" I asked Songheart.
"This was not part of our warrior training," Songheart said.
"Well, how many warriors have to deal with this?" I asked.
"Obviously some," Songheart replied.
We sat by an invisible wall. Silentstorm noticed and jumped up to the other side.
"Help me. I need to get out of this strange, terrible place," Silentstorm said. "This twoleg is such an idiot. It keeps calling me Luna. I keep telling it that's not my name, but it sure doesn't understand. Help."
"Sorry to say this, but we have no idea what to do," Songheart said.
"Wait!" Silentstorm said. "Talk to a kittypet. I think there's one I've seen around through this invisible wall. Maybe it can help."
"Brilliant idea," Songheart said. "We must find a kittypet!"
"Hello," a cat from behind us said. "You looking for me?"
A sleek black kittypet was not far away.
"We need your help," Songheart said. "Our friend is trapped in there."
"Why'd you wanna go and leave your housefolk?" the cat asked.
"It kidnapped me," Silentstorm said. "It's holding me here against my will."
"Well, when I wanted to go outside after my housefolk first got me they wouldn't let me. It took a while before they trusted me enough to leave. Now I just gotta ask," the cat said.
"I don't have time! I need out now!" Silentstorm yowled.
"Any other way?" Songheart asked.
"If they are distracted while opening the door maybe you could," he said.
"Thank you," Songheart said. "By the way, what's your name?"
"The names Tom," he said. "I must be off before I'm missed."
"Bye!" Songheart said.
"So we need a plan," I said. "I say we have Songheart act injured so the twoleg will be distracted. Silentstorm you run out."
"Right now it's Song and Storm," Silentstorm hissed. "Remember?"
"Okay, can we just get on with it?" I asked.
"One question," Songheart said. "Why do I have to be the distraction?"
"Because I'm always getting called a kittypet and the last thing I want to do is give them reason to believe that," I told her.
"Just do it and get me out of here!" Silentstorm yowled.
"Okay," I said.
This has to work!
I'll tell you the first thing that's wrong with my plan. I made the plan. The second thing is I didn't think the twoleg would've thought to hold Silentstorm. The third problem is I didn't think Songheart needed to run after the twoleg came out. That's how my brilliant planning left us worse than before.
"Let us out! You mouse-brain, we don't belong here!" Silentstorm yowled.
"Why's the other one in there?" Tom asked.
"Things didn't go as planned," I said.
"Well, there is only one thing you can do," Tom said. "You gotta show the housefolk love."
"Are you crazy, Tom?" Silentstorm yowled. "No way! I'm not doing that!"
"I'll do it if it gets me out of this place," Songheart said.
"I kinda want to leave here with my dignity!" Silentstorm yowled.
"Suit yourself, Luna," Tom said. "That's what you'll be if you stay."
"Who said I'm staying? I'm going to bust myself out of here," Silentstorm said.
"Sis, what if it's the only way?" Songheart asked.
"Alright," Silentstorm gave in. "Don't you dare tell anyone."
