Chapter 7
Written by: RazorsLove & Murdock
_____
Chance and Murdock sat on the couch watching T.V, Jake was still in the hanger.
The place seemed so dead with out the lively she-kat that lived there; he sighed softly as he watched the screen.
The screen flashed soft light onto the floor and the small coffee table, Chance propped his feet onto it and leaned back.
Murdock looked at Chance then to his feet propped on the table, his ears flattened and he kicked Chance's feet off.
Chance chuckled loudly and looked at Murdock.
"Aliee is rubbing off on you." Chance chuckled as he looked at Murdock.
Murdock's ears flattened down against his head, he looked down at the small her engagement ring on his small finger.
Chance looked at the dog that sat on the other end of the couch, the sad expression that crossed his face.
"We all miss her Mur." Chance announced.
The canine looked up at the blonde tom sitting next to him, he nodded at him slowly.
This wasn't the time to mourn like she was lost forever, she was alive but in the hands of an enemy.
Murdock sighed softly and put his head in his paws, the room was quiet the T.V had been turned off by Chance.
The couch creaked softly as Chance got up off it and went to the kitchen; the kitchen faucet ran for a few split seconds.
Murdock's wolf hearing honed in on the gulping sounds, of Chance drinking down a glass of water and setting it on the counter.
Down in the hanger, he could hear Jake saddening something into the implant.
The smell of sadder, grease and old oil filled his noses it was overwhelming.
He shuddered and sneezed wildly, his wolf was trying to take over his body. Murdock took a deep breath trying to get him under control once again.
The loud growling returned to his mind, in a gruff voice.
"I want my mate." The voice growled loudly.
Murdock rubbed his temples roughly; he grumbled to himself and went upstairs to his room.
He felt his wolf clawing at the inside of his stomach, wanting to be let out, wanting his mate and the chance to kill the tom that took her.
"Calm down, Calm down." Murdock muttered to himself lowly as he walked into his room.
He closed the door behind him and locked it as well, he went over to the bed and sat on the edge; Aliee's scent was still all over the sheets, carpet, his cloths and the cloths she owned.
A low whine entered his mind this time, it was pathetic whine.
"I want her." It whispered.
Murdock took a deep breath and rubbed his face, as he listened to the gruff voice in his head.
"I wonder if Aliee went though this." Murdock questioned softly.
The voice huffed lowly.
"I wasn't talking to you." Murdock retorted softly.
The gruff voice let out a bark of laughter.
"Shut up!" Murdock growled loudly though his teeth.
No response.
Murdock lay back onto the bed with his arms spread out along the bed, he sighed loudly as he stared at the window.
"I can't believe this, I'm losing my mind." Murdock whispered softly.
"It won't be the first time." The voice added.
Murdock groaned loudly and his ears flattened against his head, slamming his pawns onto his face and nearly screaming into them.
There was a sudden knock on his door, he bolted straight up.
He got up quickly and went to his bedroom door and unlocked it, he opened it to see Jake standing there.
"Jake." Murdock said softly.
"Murdock what's going on Chance and I heard you yell, I came up to see what was wrong." Jake announced.
Murdock looked at him.
"I think I'm loosing my mind, I keep hearing this voice in my head." Murdock said gruffly.
Jake's ears perked at the canine's word.
"Loosing your mind?" Jake questioned.
He nodded slowly; half of his face was still hidden behind the door. The canine looked at the tom that stood in front of his door.
"Do you know if Aliee ever went though any of this?" Murdock asked.
Jake shrugged and scratched the back of his neck.
"I don't know." Jake replied.
Murdock opened the door all the way and looked at Jake.
Jake's mouth gapped open at him as he looked at Murdock's left eye and pointed.
"Murdock, your left eye is green." Jake stuttered softly.
Murdock's head tilted to the side and walked passed Jake and to the bath room.
"That's impossible my eyes are haz….." Murdock said as he looked into the mirror.
He saw one emerald green eye stare back at him; the pupil was a narrow slit down the middle.
Part of Aliee was staring back at him.
Murdock looked at himself in the mirror, focusing on his one green eye that stared back at him.
He swallowed the lump in his throat; Jake stood outside the bathroom and watched him, Chance came up beside Jake and looked at him curiously.
Chance looked from Jake to Murdock who still stared into the mirror studying his eye.
"Jake?" Chance said.
Jake looked up at him silently, and Murdock turned to look at Chance as well.
"What's going on?" The blonde tabby asked.
Murdock covered his eye slowly and started to walk out of the bathroom, he squeezed between both of the toms.
Jake instantly caught Murdock by the shoulder and moved his hand away from his left eye.
Chance stared at Murdock for a quick second, and his ears flattened.
"Jake do you remember Aliee came to school with that eye patch that one time, about the middle of junior year." Chance recalled.
Jake looked up at the tabby as he put his paw on his chin, shortly after he nodded quietly to his friend.
"I do, but that could have been for a number of reasons Chance." Jake replied as he took his paw off Murdock's shoulder.
Chance nodded slowly as he stared at Murdock's eye, Murdock's ears flattened and moved away.
"Please stop staring it's making me uncomfortable Chance." Murdock said.
Chance's ears flattened as he looked away from the brown and white canine.
Jake sighed softly and walked passed the both of them and down the stairs, He walked though the living room and out into the garage.
He had work to do, Murdock's eye problem could wait until later; unless it was life threatening.
Jake stepped onto the ladder that was hidden against the wall of the open hatch, he slide down the side bars of the ladder quickly.
When he landed at the bottom, he walked over to his work bench and sat down.
The implant he had been working on was almost done just a few more touches and it would be finished, but he wasn't sure if it would stick to the inside of Aliee's ear.
He looked into his magnifying glass to look at the small device; the small speaker lay off to the side with the wires hanging out the back.
Jake rubbed the side of his nose quickly as he picked up a small tool, and went back to work again.
-
Upstairs Murdock sat in his room looking at his paws, and the clawing in his belly and the low growl in his head continued.
Now one of his eyes had turned green by itself, his wolf was getting the best of him.
He took a deep breath though his nose and concentrated on suppressing his wolf side, his fists clutching tightly.
-Dark Kats Compound-
Dark Kat looked over his two soldiers; he had forced them back into their normal bodies.
Cody had been put in an Enforcer uniform, his female Aliee was put into a formal evening gown.
"If any of you transform before I arrive, you will be dead, understood." Dark Kat growled.
Both of them nodded silently, their expressions glazed over.
Dark Kat put his finger under Aliee's chin and forced her to look up at him, her left eye was hazel.
His eyebrow rose in interest, earlier her eye had been green, but now it was hazel.
Dark Kat's paw left her chin, her head lowered.
He walked out of the small room with his two soldiers following behind him; the sound of high heels clicking against the floor followed his lead.
Dark Kat turned to the both of them; they stopped quickly and looked at him.
"Do not forget to show emotion, stay away from the swat kats, and make sure you act like a couple." Dark Kat reminded as he then turned away and walked off.
Aliee and Cody looked to each other as they turned away from Dark Kat and started towards the mess hall to eat something.
Cody looked down at the female out of the corner of his eye, she looked fragile and weak.
Of course he head been wrong when he had fought her nearly a week ago in the small clearing, she had put up a fight at least.
Her paws were intertwined with each other in front of her waist; her dress was crimson red and made of silk.
The dress clung to her curves, he shrugged as they walked passed numerous staff.
Most were toms and a few she-kats, the toms whistled and hollered as they entered the mess hall.
The she-kats were quiet and watched Aliee pass quietly, after twenty minutes of eating raw meat.
They both went to their cell, Aliee sat on the far cot by herself, as she crossed her right leg over the other; her silk dress rustling softly as she moved.
Cody stood in the cell doorway; he leaned up against the thick bar in his grey Enforcer uniform.
-
Dark Kat stood in his chamber quietly; he tapped his chin with his finger.
He huffed loudly, his two hostages that he had in mind didn't have any skill in building; but he knew for a fact that one of the swat kats did.
Dark Kat continued to tap his chin as the thought quietly; he sat down into the cushioned chair closest to the table.
The short, brown tom in the group was certainly the one he would need to finish building his bomb.
A grin crossed his face, he had stopped tapping his finger and stood up once more; he left his sleeping chamber and went off to find his soldiers.
It was quiet in the hallways; he saw in the door way was the blonde feline.
He was quiet, his bulky arms crossed over his grey uniformed chest, he moved away when he saw him coming down the hallway.
"Instead of Lt. Feral bring me the brown swat kat." Dark Kat huffed loudly.
Cody and Aliee looked up at the purple tom, they nodded quietly.
"Be at the plane in three hours." Dark Kat growled softly and then he left.
"Will he ever make up his mind?" Cody questioned aloud.
Aliee looked up at him quickly.
"So, you can speak." Aliee said softly.
Cody raised one of his eyebrows as he looked down at the black female sitting on cot.
He shrugged and after the few words he had spoken aloud he was quiet.
-Salvage Yard-
Murdock growled loudly, as Jake worked the temporary white dye into his hair.
The smell of the dye made the canine sneeze loudly, Jake dug his claws in to the dogs scalp.
"I don't see the point… in doing this." Murdock growled at the brown tom.
Jake rolled his eyes and flicked Murdock's ear, as the brown faded into white.
"Well it is, you'll be recognized by the Enforcers, and Callie wants there just in case." Jake replied calmly.
Murdock crossed his arms over his shirtless chest, as he huffed.
"We'll have to do your tail and your arms." Jake added.
"I'll do my tail on my own thanks." Murdock retorted quietly.
Jake chuckled softly as he continued to work the dye into the dog's fur, the tom covered Murdock's facial fur, to his neck and shoulders.
Chance stood in the doorway watching, he was somewhat amused.
Jake had gone to the store and purchased several boxes of fur dye, after they had gotten the call from Callie about tonight.
Murdock's upper half of his body was covered in the soapy looking dye, after he was done; Murdock took over and dyed his tail white.
He grumbled loudly as he did so, Jake and Chance watching him quietly made him uncomfortable.
Murdock gripped his towel tightly in his white paw, as he pushed the two toms out of the bathroom; he locked the door and dropped his towel enough to get the bottom side of his tail.
He shuddered at the cold feeling of the dye.
"A man should never have to do this." Murdock huffed loudly.
Outside the door a burst of laughter erupted.
Murdock groaned loudly, as he pulled the towel around his waist and unlocked then opened the bathroom door.
"Now you have to wait an hour for the dye to dry." Jake said softly as he held back his laughter.
Murdock growled lowly as he went to his bedroom, he couldn't lie on his bed or he'd get the dye on it so he just sat on the floor.
The hour passed slowly for the canine, he lay down with the towel lain across his lap.
His wolf lay dormant inside his body, no longer making itself a nuisance of itself; it did have a point at one time that he would win and take over.
Murdock's ears pinned against his head as he lay on the floor quietly waiting for the alarm to go off, only a few short minutes later the blaring of his alarm clock started.
He got up off the floor holding towel to his waist as he went over to the alarm clock to shut it off.
Murdock hit the snooze button on top of the small black box; he went over to the dresser quietly and pulled out a pair of boxers and jeans.
The dog went over to the long mirror that stood in the corner of the room that Aliee used every so often, he looked at his white body and his slicked down tail.
He looked like a totally different person as he stared at the white dog in the mirror, his mismatched eyes.
Murdock sighed deeply as he went over to the closet and pulled a shirt off the hanger; he ran his white fingers though his hair.
His hair was stiff it felt like he had used a whole jar of gel on it, he shook his head and ran his fingers though his hair until it loosened up.
Murdock ran though his stiff tail, he grumbled lowly to himself; the sooner this party was over the better.
He walked out of his bedroom and went down stairs to get something to drink.
Jake and Chance sat on the couch watching the news, the brown tom looked over the back of the couch.
"Murdock you could fool Aliee if your scent didn't give you away." Jake said softly.
Murdock looked at him quietly as he entered the kitchen.
Jake turned back to the T.V waiting for the next two hours to pass.
