Chapter fifteen: Chose Chance
-Three months later-
Chance and Felina were in their room getting ready bed. They had a hard day; Cristian and Felicity were a pawful. Chance was glad that Jake was living with them. Jake helped out a lot with the kids and with everything else. Chance told Jake how much he appreciated having him around. The next morning Chance and Felina got up and did what the normally do every morning since they had the twins.
Chance was trying to get Cristian to take his bottle when Jake walked in. Chance looked at his bubby with tired eyes. Jake could see and knew that both Chance and Felina were not getting much sleep and really in truly neither was he. Jake did love helping them out and would not change it for the word. After all he was getting practice in for when he had his own twins.
"Jake what are you smiling about?" Chance aksed.
"I was just thinking of Japer and Kenna."
"Who?" Feilna aksed.
"I didn't tell you did I they are Jake's and Callie's kids." Chance said while giving Cristian his bottle.
"What you and Callie have kids! Wow you better ask her soon or they might not be born." Felina told him. Jake nodded his head.
"Hey I got an idea why don't you and Chance come on a double date with me and Callie." Jake said looking at the two.
"I don't know Jake." Felina said looking at him and then at the twins.
"Come Feilna we need a break and my father can watch them." Chance said looking up at his wife.
"Okay." She said with a smile.
Jake smiled and went to call Callie and tell her that they were going on a double date. Callie said that she could not wait.
-The next night-
Chance and Feilna were in their bedroom getting ready for their double date with Jake and Callie. Chance told Felina that he was going to check on Jake. He walked down the hall and into Jake's room. There he saw Jake standing in the middle of his room looking down at something. It was a ring.
"You are going to ask her tonight aren't you?" Chance asked Jake making him come out of his thoughts.
"Yea, I'm nervous…how did you get over it?" Jake asked Chance how he had gotten over his nerves.
"I didn't, I just asked her and it went away but then new came waiting for an answer." Jake looked at his friend.
"Wow that did not help at all." Jake said making Chance laugh.
-At the Restaurant-
Chance and Felina were setting down waiting on Jake to walk Callie to the table. Jake was up front waiting on Callie to get there after work.
"I hope that Callie says yes." Felina said while looking at her menu.
"I say that she will." Chance said also looking at his menu. Just then Jake and Callie walked over to the table.
"Hi sorry it took so long the Mayor would not shut up about his golf game." Callie said making everyone laugh.
"Well at least you are here now." Jake said kissing her on the cheek. Callie smiled at him.
They all ate their dinner and talked. Chance talked about his training with Marcellus. Jake talked about the new weapons he had drawn up. Callie talked about work and Felina talked about the kids and how she could not wait to go back to work. She missed it badly. They were about to leave when a waiter came over with a small box and place it in front of Callie. She looked at it and then looked at everyone.
"What is this?" She asked the waiter.
"I was told to bring it over to you." He said and walked off.
"Okay but why?" She turned to ask him while he walked off. She turned around and the box was gone. She looked at Chance and Felina who were smiling a big smile. She turned over to Jake and saw that he was down on one knee. Callie's began to cry.
"Callie will you marry me?" Jake asked.
"Yes" Callie said in a low voice. Jake put a white gold square cut princess diamond ring on her finger. Jake stood up and kissed Callie. Everyone clapped for the couple. They all walked in front of the restaurant. There was a limousine wait on them.
"Were did this come from?" Callie asked.
"My father gave it to me and told me to use it. So I thought that tonight would be a good night to use it. I mean after all his is watching the kids for us." Chance said looking over toward Felina who nodded her head. They got into the limousine and it pulled away from the restaurant.
"This is has been a wonderful night." Callie said.
"Yes it has." Jake kissed Callie. Chance looked over and saw a pair of headlights coming toward them. His eyes widen as they were t-boned. The last thing Chance saw was the door opening and someone pulling Callie out and her screaming.
Chance laid on the cold wet ground as he was slowly coming back to conscious. He could feel someone picking him up and him on his knees. Chance opened his eyes slowly and lifted up his head. He saw in front of him was Felina, Jake, and Callie. They were in the woods.
"Well nice of you to join us Chance." Chance's eyes widen. Just then Ivan walked around one of his men that were behind Felina and the others. Chance looked up and saw Ivan with a gun. Ivan walked back and forth behind Felina, Jake and Callie.
"Tell me Chance who lives and who dies because someone will die tonight." Ivan said while moving the gun to one head to the other.
"Kill me." Chance said looking up at Ivan. Tears began to flow down Felina's face.
"Why would I kill you?"
"Because I killed him and you want revenge for what I've done to you." Chance said calmly. Jake and Felina looked at Chance with widen eyes. When Chance told Jake and Felina about his past he never said anything about killing another kat.
"I want you to suffer like I did." Ivan said
"Do you think that the thought of me being dead and leaving my wife and children behind is not killing me now." Chance said with tears in his eyes. Ivan walked over to Chance and looked down at him. Chance looked up at Ivan as the tears ran down his face.
"You know this is just like then, but I didn't make you chose I just took her life." Ivan said which made Feilna's eyes widen. 'The she-kat that was killed in front of Chance' She thought to herself.
"You know I think I will take your life."
"You should I took his and ruined both of your plans." Chance said looking into Ivan's cold grey eyes. Ivan pointed the gun at Felina.
"No! You want to take me. I killed him and I would do it again." Chance said with an evil look in his eyes. Ivan looked over at Chance and moved the gun to Chance's chest.
"Close your eyes." Felina, Jake, and Callie looked at him.
"CLOSE YOUR EYES!" Chance yelled at them and they all did as told.
"Goodbye Chance." With their eyes closed they all heard a gunshot. Jake and Feilna opened their eyes to see Chance fall to the ground and onto his back. They saw his blue shirt became red with blood.
"NO!" Felina yelled.
"Don't worry you will be joining him." Ivan turned around and pointed the gun at Felilna. Just before he could shot her an arrow hit a tom who was standing in front of Ivan. The tom fell to the ground dead. Ivan looked over at another tom as an arrow hit him. Ivan lowered the gun and backed away.
"Let's get out here." Ivan said to the rest of him men. They all ran off leaving Jake, Callie and Felina who was moved over to Chance. She placed her paws on his chest and looked at the gunshot wound. Jake looked up in the trees were the arrows had came from. He saw Marcellus standing on a big limb of a huge tree. Marcellus jumped down and ran over to Chance. He checked to see if he had a pulse.
