Author's note: Sorry about this chapter taking so long I was kind of attacked by the evil evilness of the evil writer's block, it's evil I tell you. Plus I was also distracted because my birthday is in two days. (sigh) And those out there who deside to review I'll give you a cookie. Does anybody like chocolate chip?
Chapter 9: Anger issues.
Ebony was going around, checking on everything since all the others were at the meeting.
"Stupid meeting," she muttered angrily to herself, "making me do more work."
She turned the corner and stopped dead. There was the two prisoners from upstairs. How did they get out? The black one was standing just outside the door with the kittens, and apparently knew they were in there. Ebony growled under her breath. If the kittens were rescued, Macavity would have her hide and then she would never be promoted.
With a hiss the black queen leapt onto the orange one's back with her claws out. She was going to make them go crying back to their cell.
"You're never going to beat Macavity. You're a loser, you always have been, and you always will be." She hissed cruelly into his ear.
………..
The claws dug deeper, making the injured cat wince.
He was not going to let this cat stop him, now that he was so close to the kittens.
Andrian felt his attacker's breath on his ear like they were saying something to him. Their mistake. He slammed his elbow back as hard as he could in that direction and the claws retracted. He felt the floor vibrated as the other cat hit the floor.
His body throbbed with pain. The orange tom turned very slowly to see where the previous threat was and saw a pure black queen sprawled unconscious on the floor behind him.
He got up slowly, using the wall and Misto for support. Andrian took hold of the filthy door handle and pushed open the cursed door, hoping and dreading what he would find within.
…………
The dark brown tom didn't how much more of this he could handle. Working for Macavity was all getting orders and doing it without so much as a word of complaint. He was still in training and could tell that was all this was. He felt like if did this much longer he would snap.
Which is what he did.
Instead of attacking the target he started hitting everyone and everything else.
"This is complete madness! I will not live like this! I'm am not some mindless robot to order around!" He yelled crazily.
Half a dozen upper Henchcats tackled him and brought him under submission.
…………
Misto entered the room after Andrian and was very happy to see three little kittens safe and healthy.
He looked over at the tall tom and was puzzled to find he seemed to be somewhat distraught. Mistofeeles had no clue why he was upset until he remembered Andrian had said there was four. There was only three here.
