Okay sorry for the really long wait everyone! I've had a very serious case of writers block but I'm pretty sure I'm over it now. Also I plan on wrapping up this story in the next few chapters.I'm not sure how well that's going to work. I have a general idea of where I'm ending this it's just a matter of getting there. Anyway, again I'm sorry for the wait and here's the chapter you guys have probably been waiting. Enjoy.
Also I still do not own Black Cat. My plans are still in the making.
Over the next few days I kept getting this feeling that something bad was going to happen soon. I didn't think I was acting any differently from how I usually did but apparently I was because Jenos noticed something was up. Usually he never picked up on anything as small as that. It might have had to do with the fact that him and Tiffany had officially started going out, so that meant he wasn't hitting on girls… at least not as much as he used to.
"What's up Train? You've been acting weird lately."
"Nothing Jenos." I told as he were heading to Marksmanship.
"Oh really? You nearly agreed to go on a date with Jessica at lunch. You usually decline right away. There's something wrong if Jessica almost managed to score a date with you."
"It's nothing. I just have a bad feeling about tonight."
" A bad feeling as in?"
"Something bad is going to happen. I just don't know what.:
"It's probably nothing, Train." Jenos suggested. I wish what he said was true. But I had had this same feeling the night my parents had died and I had ignored it then. I wasn't going to ignore this time though. I knew to trust my instincts now and I relied on them.
Although know would really notice anything, this bad feeling of mine was taking a toll on me. I was getting a bit sloppy in Combat, my aim was slightly off in Snipe and Marksmanship and Anubis had managed to detect me behind him in Stealth. Anubis was the only teacher that had really noticed anything. Of course it probably helped that he was a wolf and I was the only student he could never detect in class.
After school I said bye to Jenos quickly before I headed back to Karl's. I was going to go for a walk in the woods to clear my head, but first I was getting supper. I took the long route back to Karl's mansion and got there with only twenty minutes of waiting left for supper.
When supper came I ate slightly quicker than usual and let Karl know I was going for a walk. He told me to be back by 10:00. I was a bit surprised by the time but he usually knew when I needed a walk to clear my mind. I grabbed my jacket and jumped into the tree outside of my window. I jumped out of the tree and made my way to the forest.
I had been walking through the woods for what felt like hours. I had turned my cell phone off after Karl had tried calling me to get me to come back. I knew he was going to yell at me when I got back but I didn't care. My bad feeling had gotten worse when I had come to the woods and the deeper I went the worse it got.
I walked a little father into the woods when I heard gunshots, and instead of running away from the sound like most kids my age would have done, I ran straight towards them. Wherever they had come from I knew something bad was going to happen. It didn't take long before I came to where the gunshots had come from. I was standing in the shadows of the trees looking up at a huge, white, two story house.
It was really nice except for the fact the wooden front door had been smashed in. It reminded me of Karl's but it wasn't as big. There was a car, with it's engine still running, parked in front of the house and there was one guy in it. He had his gun pointed towards the house and I followed the barrels aim with my eyes.
The guy had his gun pointed at a little girl, who was running towards a giant cat? I blinked. There was no way I was seeing a giant caracal in front of me. They were only supposed to be a little larger than house cat's. At least I knew they weren't supposed to be as bis as the one in front of me now.
The cocking of a gun snapped me out of my thoughts and I remembered the guys in the car. I pulled my own gun out and snuck up next to the car. The window was open which was lucky for me. I took a deep breath. I could have just left things alone but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
I got out of my crouch and stood up straight. I took another deep breath. I wasn't ready to kill yet, but I was going to have to tonight. I pointed my gun at the guys temple. He tensed up and slowly turned to face me.
"You really shouldn't be aiming guns at people. You could seriously injure them." I told him with my eyes slightly narrowed. He looked terrified. I clamped my eyes shut and pulled the trigger. I heard the bang and the guy falling over in the car. I opened my eyes and didn't look at the body. If I didn't see him I could ignore the fact that I had been the one to kill him.
I was about to head back into the trees when I heard someone running towards the car. I ducked behind it and waited. A woman ran past into the tress and I could hear her crashing through the braches. I peeked over the hood of the car into the house and my jaw dropped. Before my eyes the giant caracal was turning into a woman?
No way could that be happening. It one thing seeing a giant caracal but then seeing that giant caracal turning into a woman. This had to be one of the weirdest dreams I was ever having. I mean there was no way this could be happening. Well, if this was a dream at least now I wouldn't feel guilty about killing the driver of the car that I was now hiding behind.
I looked up and saw a mini version of the giant caracal running out the door and into the trees. It stumbled when it was shot in the shoulder but it kept running. At the same moment a guy wearing an off white suit and an eye patch with bright green hair ran through the door. He grabbed the guy that had shot the mini caracal and beat him up a bit before running to the woman's side. She was bleeding heavily and from the looks of the blood she was loosing, she wouldn't make it. I closed my eyes and an image of my mother laying in a pool of her own blood flashed in my mind.
My eyes snapped open when I heard the three remaining guys from the gang running out of the house. I looked into the house and noticed that the little girl was no where to be found. I was trying to figure out what had happened to the girl when I heard the leader of the gang talking.
"Tom, Trent! Split up. We'll meet up at the hideout!" The medium sized one told the other two.
"What about you Leland?" The smaller one asked.
"I'm going to find Rita." HE turned around and headed off into the tress after the woman and Tom and Trent, who didn't split up, took off in the opposite direction of Leland. I took off after them. There was no way the were getting away with what they had just done to the woman that was in the house.
