Chapter 18, To bad, the effects killed her
Leafcloud padded into a brightly lit room, Ashfur and Skyfeather behind her.
She looked around, and there, in the middle of the room was a door. It just sat there, and it was the kind you found on a Twoleg nest.
Leafcloud walked toward it. She was about to go through it when it disappeared.
She whirled around, and there it was, four feet behind her.
"What happened?" Ashfur asked. He strolled over to the door and vanished inside.
"Handsome!" Skyfeather shrieked, "Come back!" she leaped into the door.
Leafcloud made after them. She leaped at the door. It disappeared.
She turned around. There it was, exactly four feet behind her.
She walked toward it, and once again it went four feet behind her.
Feeling panicky, and wondering where her friends were, Leafcloud raced at the door, and it disappeared.
She stopped and sat down, only a couple inches from it. But as soon as her paw started going through…it would disappear behind her.
Then she had a sudden idea. She leaped at the door, and it went behind her. She turned and leaped. As soon as it started moving she sprang right into the middle. The door came at her with the speed of light, and then she was in.
Suddenly she was falling, and very quickly too. She tried to look round, but all she was blurred colors. Then, suddenly, she landed.
The floor banged against her, and she stood up. The floor was transparent.
Ashfur and Skyfeather were already there, sitting, licking each other.
"Er…guys?"
"Yeah?" Skyfeather asked.
"What's next?"
Skyfeather shrugged.
Leafcloud put out a paw to step toward them. Her paw slipped through the floor. She tripped, and her chest came down. It also slipped through the floor.
She pushed herself up by using her hind legs. Then she sat on the transparent floor and looked around.
She put a paw onto he floor. It sunk through.
"I don't get this," Leafcloud whispered. She stood up, making sure not to lift any part of her body up and down again. She was standing now.
She took a step, and instantly her paw fell through the floor.
She took a step by sliding her paw over the floor. It didn't sink in.
She did another step that way, then another until she was walking over to a dark cave entrance that -hopefully- marked the exit.
"Guys!" she called back, "I know how to walk on this stuff. You just slide your paws across it, don't lift them and put them down, they slide through…"
Ashfur slid over to her, looking a little wobbly, Skyfeather, still under the effects of the love poison, bounded after him.
There was a sound like cracking and Skyfeather fell, fell, fell…Leafcloud could still see her and still hear her cries. Both cats were shocked, and even after ten minutes of waiting they could still see a tiny white dot and hear a faint scream.
Leafcloud was shocked into not moving. She had given both cats strict instructions on how to walk…but the poison! It had made her ditzy.
"Er…?" Ashfur mumbled.
"Let's just keep going," Leafcloud whispered.
He looked down. "I can still see her."
"Yes I know! Please move!"
He slid across the floor to the dark hole.
Leafcloud followed him.
No, she's not dead. I'm telling you this because I don't want you guys getting all twitery…REVIEW!! The last three chappies this evening! I will send them out at six o clock mountain time!
