So yeah...here is part three.
*Warning, has drunken cats*
So enjoy...if anyone is even reading this :/
Victoria looked up uneasily at the darkening sky. She could feel the static in the air, making her fur stand up on end. She looked around, not knowing where she was.
Victoria tried to follow Plato, but she wasn't able to keep up. He was too fast, and knew his way around the alleys and backstreets. She had no idea where he could have possibly gone to, and Victoria has now been lost for days without any sign of him.
She wandered into a back alley. A raindrop fell on her right ear, causing it to twitch. In literally seconds, it started to pour down. Victoria's fur clung to her as the rain started to turn it gray.
"Just freaking great." Victoria muttered.
"Oi, what are you doing?" A voice called out, scaring Victoria and causing her to jump. A slim dark queen appeared from behind a dumpster up ahead. "Don't you realize that it is currently pouring out here? Come inside before you catch a cold!"
Desperate to get out of the rain, Victoria did as told and darted into the dumpster with the strange queen.
Victoria was surprised by what she found. The dumpster didn't have any trash as a normal one would, and it didn't even stink. It looked like a pub. Cats of all different shapes and sizes were everywhere having drinks and swapping stories. Most didn't even notice Victoria's arrival.
The slim queen beckoned Victoria to follow her. Victoria obeyed as she was lead to the bar alongside the farthest wall of the dumpster.
"Hey Reggie, can I get to regulars over here?" the mysterious asked the huge silver main coon behind the counter.
"Sure thing Miss Exotica." Exotica took a seat at the bar.
"Well come on don't be shy, join me." She told Victoria. She took the seat next to Exotica.
"I've never seen you around here before, what's your name?"
"I'm Victoria." She introduced. Exotica smiled.
"Victoria huh? What a very regal name. It seems fits you. Well welcome to the Pub. As you might have already figured out, I'm Exotica" Reggie lumbered over to them and set the drinks on the counter.
"Put it on my tab Reg." Exotica purred.
"Anything for you Miss Exotica." Reggie replied with a wink before lumbering off to take care of another customer. Exotica took a sip from one of the doll cups.
"Aren't you going to have a drink?" She asked.
"What is it?" Victoria asked. Exotica gave an amused smile and answered,
"Rum. Ever had alcohol before?" Victoria shook her head. "Well go on, try it. It's good, I promise." Exotica said, crossing over her heart. Victoria smiled and slowly started to sip hers.
"That is pretty good." Victoria admitted, lowering the now half empty cup back down on the counter.
"Told you so." Exotica smirked. "So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you're lost."
"Why do you say that?" Exotica took another drink before answering.
"No offense, but you seem too high maintenance for a street cat. For one you've never had alcohol before, two aside from the sudden downpour, your fur is very well taken care of. But the most obvious thing is the collar around your neck." Victoria reached up and felt her pink collar.
"I totally forgot about this." She muttered mostly to herself. She finished off the rest of her drink in one long gulp.
"Well you are right. I am lost." Victoria admitted. Reggie came by and sat two more cups of rum down. He grabbed the empty cups and walked off again.
"Well I know my way around this town very well, I can get you back home." Exotica offered. Victoria smiled, took another sip and replied,
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm not trying to go back. I'm actually looking for someone."
Exotica's eyes lit up a little.
"Are you looking a tom?" Victoria nodded as she continued to drink. "Is he your lover?"
"Well he's not actually my lover." Victoria replied after she finished of her second cup of rum.
"Then why are you looking for him? Did he kill your mother or something?" Exotica asked, confused. Victoria only smiled.
"Nah, he didn't kill my mum. He actually saved my life."
"Wow" Exotica said, amazed.
"Yep. And maybe if things go the way I want 'em, he will become me lover." Victoria slurred. Exotica was pretty much sure Victoria just had too much to drink.
"Shit, I should've warned her about drinking too much." Exotica muttered to mostly herself.
"Hey, Exotcy, can you help me find himmmm?" Victoria drunkenly asked, unaware Exotica just said something.
"Uh, sure if I know him. What's he tom's name?"
"Pla…to."
The entire pub went silent as everyone stared at the two queens. Exotica looked around nervously while Victoria was oblivious to the attention.
"Don't listen to her folks;" Exotica addressing everyone "This queen has had a little too much to drink. Poor thing has no clue what she's saying."
Almost as though to prove her point, Victoria lean a little too far left, almost falling out of her chair, luckily she landed on Exotica instead of landing on the floor. Everyone continued to stare. Exotica tried not to panic as she silently prayed to Everlasting Cat.
"Play ball!" Victoria drunkenly stated. The pub's other customers went back to what they were doing. Exotica gave a sigh of relief.
"Come on Victoria, I think it's time to get you out of here." Supporting Victoria so she wouldn't fall, she helped the white queen out of the pub.
Exotica was thankful to discover that it had stopped raining when they got outside. Victoria grabbed the collar around her neck. She violently ripped it off and clumsily threw it, not going very far. Victoria stuck her tongue at it and then told Exotica,
"Come on; let's go find me my new boy toy."
Even though she tried not to, Exotica couldn't help but laugh as she tried help the drunken queen in walking in a straight line.
