"Thot wos groit! Show os anothah!" Ovahad cheered while he and Chartara clapped. They were watching Fairuza and her magic show. Misto and Victoria discovered a few weeks after her birth that Fairuza was a conjurer like her father, so he began teaching her how to use and control her magic. A lot has happened this month. Pouncival, Etcetera, Jemima, Tumblebrutus, and Electra all became of age, which meant there were only three kittens running around.
The kittens had grown a bit and had developed their personalities as well. Chartara's mane had fully grown in, though it wasn't as long as Tugger's; when she opened her eyes they were a chartreuse color, which was uncommon for Jellicles. Chartara was definitely a daddy's princess. She was smaller than most kittens because of having the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck when she was born. She was very shy and had a hard time making friends. Ovahad had his father's accent and the passion for thieving, but only took small stuff, like candy or toys. He was also as flirtatious as Tugger. Fairuza was quite an adventurous kitten, but usually found herself stuck in weird places. She liked showing off her magic to anyone who wanted to see it.
"Hmm, let's see..." Fairuza looked around the junkyard and spotted an old magician's hat. "Wanna see me pull a rabbit out of hat?" The two kittens eagerly nodded. Fairuza snapped her fingers and the hat appeared in her hands. Her paw began to sparkle and she waved it over the top of the hat. She reached inside and pulled out the hare. "Ta-da!"
"Om...Uza? Oi don't thoink thot's a 'are," Ovahad observed.
"Huh?" Her eyes had been closed, and she opened them to see what she pulled out of the hat. In her hand was not a hare, but a kitten! Chartara, Ovahad, and Fairuza peered over the brim of the hat. They counted six more pairs of eyes peering pack at them. Several of them were wearing collars.
"Oi! You produced sevon kittons in yah foncy 'at!"
"Uza, we should probably find your dad. I think these kittens might be owned," Chartara said shyly. Fairuza nodded. Chartara and Ovahad lifted the hat off the ground to bring with them, and they made their way to Fairuza's pipe. I though her den's entrance was really cool. To get inside you had to crawl through the pipe, but on the other side was a huge room. The two kittens waited outside while Fairuza found her father. She emerged a few second later with the tuxedo tom.
"What's up?" Misto asked when he noticed the other kittens.
"Well, I was putting on a magic show, and I was going to do the 'rabbit out of a hat' trick, but when we looked inside there were..." Fairuza hesitated. "Seven kittens..." Misto's eyes widened as he peered into the hat, and then he chuckled.
"Don't worry. The same thing happened to me when I was learning magic." Clapping his hands twice, the kittens disappeared, back to their own homes.
"Thanks Daddy!" The kittens scampered off again. Misto sighed and shook his head before retreating back to his den.
"Interesting..." Reed thought out loud.
"What is?" Lon asked, bored. He was picking at his fingernails. Velio was sharpening his own claws.
"It seems as if one of the kittens is a conjurer." Reed smiled menicingly. "Tonight we put the plan into action."
***Sorry, I know it's a short chapter. I'll make it up in the next chapter though.***
