Chapter 5 Suck It Up Boy
Peter rounded the corner out of the prisoner corridors, and down the staff hallway. Halfway down the hall he felt like he was being followed, and so he spun around quickly. He came face to face with Sam, and Cat in animal form, both heads cocked to the right, and their left front paws were hanging in the air mid-stride. The three stared at each other for several minutes, before Sam stuck her tongue out at Peter, and they all ended up in a fit of deep belly laughs. The girls had laughed so hard that they shifted back into their human form.
After everyone had stopped laughing the girls had followed Peter to his room. The sat on Peter's couch at the end of his bed. Sam was upright at one end, and Cat was at the other with her legs in Sam's lap.
"You two remember the girl the Queen was after last month?" Both girls nodded, and Peter lifted his head to look at them.
"NO!" Sam screamed, and jumped off the couch.
"Yes." Peter mumbled dejectedly.
"What's going on?" Cat asked. She clearly was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
"Oh, no." Sam groaned, and fell backwards, onto the couch.
"We need to get her out of here."
"You know the entire guard sleeps, and doesn't get up unless an alarm is triggered."
"Hello? Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Cat was irked that she was missing something.
"Peter's soul mate is the girl who escaped last month, and she's being held her as a prisoner for heaven knows what reason." Sam explained as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Oh!" Cat rolled on her tummy. She decided to just let the crazy people work it out.
"She would use me as leverage." Peter blanched.
"Angelica wouldn't do that to you." Cat declared.
"You're too valuable." Sam agreed stretching.
"We don't know that anymore." He looked at them with a solid belief. "She's been a bit mad lately, and she'll do anything to get what she want's." Peter sighed.
"She overthrew everyone." Cat's voice was small.
They sat in silence; the tears gathering, and falling from each of their eyes. Sam sucked a deep breath in between her teeth, and cleared her throat. "Nevertheless, we will allow no harm to come to our new sister." Sam winked, and continued. "The Queen can't know about any of this, and the girl. What's her name?" Sam had realized that she hadn't heard the girl's name.
"Alexandra Marie Ginger. She goes by Lexa." Sam could see in Peter's eyes that he was thinking strategics, and she knew to just keep talking.
"Lexa probably won't be an easy task either." Sam considered the way she had arrived, and the manner she had been treated.
"No. She hates me."
"Suck it up boy. People will not like you in your life, but don't let it affect you." Cat's outburst had Sam, and Peter shocked.
