Hi. Uh. I'm sorry I took so long, I had my reasons.

review replies:

Fictionalidiot: What's the overuse of capitalisation?

Cobra:...yeah...I didn't understand most of that XD...But yay! I've never written a cliffhanger before!

NOW LETS GET DOWN TO IT

The world was a green, black, and white blur to Spark. Through the ringing in her ears, she heard Casper yell at her to run. She tried, she really did, but her mind was too foggy, to disoriented. Spark felt something haul her to her paws, yanking her along. "COME ON!" A voice screamed from beside her.

She was dimly aware of her paws pounding against the ground, running, trying to escape from certain death in the form of fur and fangs. She stumbled, lurching forward.

"MOVE, SPARK!" Casper roared, way ahead of her but looking back.

What...? She thought. Then, something huge brushed her tail, right behind her. All of a sudden, her vision cleared. She saw Casper 5 feet ahead of her. She heard the 3 dogs right behind her. The small, silver cat tried to run faster, but she was so tiered. She wasn't used to running more than a few feet.

The damp night air felt heavy in her lungs. Her throat felt constricted, like it couldn't take in any more air. But it had to. Come on, Spark! She internally yelled at herself. You have to go faster!

Then, she tripped over a rock. And fell. Oh, , She thought. I'm gunna get torn apart. She wanted to just lay there limply, and let the dogs kill her. It certainly would be easier, less painful. Yet some instinct in her refused to just die.

Spark rolled onto her back, just as a dog lunged at her. She hissed, and swiped at the dog's eye, claws unsheathed. It yelped and leapt back, giving Spark time to jump to her paws. The other two dogs lunged at her.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed, standing still with her eyes shut, bracing herself. But the fangs, muscle, and claws never came. Hesitantly, she opened her green eyes.

Casper was there, fighting the two beasts. The third was nowhere to be seen. Probably ran off, Spark thought. Then, she leapt into the mass and claws and fur.

Big mistake. She pretty much just got throw out of the fight by Casper, because she had literally no fighting experience.

The large white tom, on the other hand, was pretty much born to fight. He was fast as a lightning bolt, and really strong, too. In less than 3 minutes, both the dogs were scratched and bitten badly. But, being a cat 4 times smaller then them, Casper knew he had no chance of killing both of them. So, he turned tail and bolted.

Spark was surprised, as were the dogs, but she recovered quicker, dashing after her friend.

XxXxXxXx

They had slowed to a walk a while ago, and were silently trotting along. It was mid-morning when they finally stopped.

Ahead of them was a long, thick, back...thing. It had grey stone on either side, and Spark had no idea what it was. As if reading her mind, the snow-white tomcat spoke up.

"It's called a road. Humans use them for their Metal Things."

Spark looked at him. "Okay, what's a human and what's a Metal Thing?"

Casper yawned, before walking onto the smooth, grey stone. Spark followed.

"So, humans are tall, furless, two-legged creatures. They built all this weird stuff. Metal Things are these huge, metal-"

"What's metal?"

"Hard shiny stuff. Now, Metal Things really fast and dangerous, so just stay away from them. Luckily, they only ever go on roads."

Spark nodded. Casper knew so much. She wondered how.

The duo kept walking. They walked and walked, then walked some more.

"Where are we going?" Spark asked after a long while. She felt like her paws where going to fall off.

"A place I used to live in. I was heading here, anyways, before you came along."

And so, they continued to walk. Spark hadn't thought the world could be big enough for all that walking. Then, finally, the road began to slant upwards.

Spark looked at her companion. "What now?"

"Keep walking."

The silver cat groaned, then started walking again. She wondered where Casper's old home even was. Then she saw it. Huge, shiny rectangles reached for the sky, sparkling in the mid-day sun. They were clustered together in squares, making allys and dead-ends. Spark knew this place. It was where she had been born.

But her sentimental moment was ruined by a low growl that came from her left. Startled, she looked to see large German Shepard stalk towards them.

Come on! Spark internally groaned. Can we ever catch a break?
