Chapter 14: KITTENS

DID U GUESS IT?

There was a knock on Sophie's bedroom door the next afternoon.

Amy walked in the room, staring at the clutter and sadness.

The pillows were scattered everywhere, the blankets were rumpled. Tissues were everywhere. The flowered carpet was covered with pacing footprints.

Sophie sat in the middle of the mess.

"Hey," Amy said as she sat down next to her big sister on the bed.

"Hey," Sophie said weakly.

"Fitz told me what happened," Amy said meekly. "He told me the world is going to think I died."

Her voice cracked at the end and Sophie gave her sister a hug.

"Oh Amy," she said. "Here I am throwing pillows and crying because I got in a spat, when you are leaving your world for a foreign one. I'm sorry. I'm a terrible big sister."

Sophie let go of Amy as an idea popped into her head. "You know what we need? A trip to the Forbidden Cities."

"The what now?"

"The human's world."

"Oh."

Sophie raced to call everyone on her imparter. (Not including Keefe). They all agreed and made plans to sneak out that afternoon.

Once they were at Everglen, in Fitz's room, they leapt away with Alden's stolen blue crystal. They had each told their parents that they were going to another's house for a sleepover.

Once in the Forbidden Cities, they figured out they were in New York.

"KITTENS!" Amy yelled. She was pointing to a small cage in front of a store filled with tiny little balls of fur.

They quickly raced over. There weren't cats in The Lost Cities, so even Fitz, Dex, and Biana were excited.

They knelt down in front of the kittens. One crawled right onto Sophie's lap. It was a brown and black one, with a couple light brown paws.

"We call her Brooklyn," the lady behind the table said. "She's a rescue."

Biana was holding a little black and white fur ball. "That ones Mint." The lady told her.

Fitz was petting a white one. According to the lady she was Silver Bells.

Dex's was holding an orange one, who was Cotton Ball, and Amy's was a fuzzy gray one named Lily.

Sophie noticed a kitten in the back. It was a brown and yellow one, curled away from all the rest. She approached it and it hissed. But she held out a finger and he started to play with it.

"Hmm. That one's Superman."

"Ummm...we'll take Brooklyn, Mint, Silver Bells, Cotton Ball, Lily, and Superman." Sophie decided.

They left holding the little balls of fur.

"You get to re name them," Sophie told the group.

Biana clapped happily. "He'll be Prince."

Amy thought about it. "What about...Stormy?"

Dex said he would think about it. So did Fitz. But Sophie knew what she was going to name hers.

"Coco," she told the little kitten. "That's who you'll be."
