"Nicole. Have you those papers for me yet?" The black cat asked. Nicole had stumbled into Moonlight's new office. She had ordered it be built away from the council as she was the new leader.

"No, I-"

"You don't? What are you doing here then?" She interrupted.

"I just got word from my family. My little brother is missing and I need to go help find him." She gulped. "Can I go?"

"Why would I let you go?"

"I wouldn't say anything to them! Even if I did, who would believe me?"

"I would have to come with you. Ugh. Nicole can you tell your brother to be less selfish and not to go missing?" Moonlight said, rolling her eyes.

"Like I could. Pft, you never let me talk to anyone." She said under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

"That is what I thought." A knock was heard on the door. "Get it." She said to Nicole. Nicole opened the door and a messenger cat came running in.

"What do you want?" Moonlight asked the cat.

"Ma'am! A bunch of cats are gathering in the auditorium. There is word of a dog being captured! They are going to make it fight a group of cats!"

"How interesting, sounds like a good show." Moonlight whispered to herself. "Who's is the dog?"

"Lizzie's dog."

"Which one?"

"Zoey."

"Dang it! Now I have to stop the fight." She said, getting up. "Why are these cats so stupid?"

"We were born into a war…" The messenger pointed out. Moonlight stormed out the door.

"What about me L-Moon-uh-Ma'am?" Nicole asked, stumbling over her words. She looked at her feet in shame.

"Go ahead. I need to deal with this. You have an hour." She said. She pulled Nicole to her and whispered in her ear. "You try anything, and you will end up like the others." Nicole shuttered.

"I'll be good." She said. The messenger cat lead Moonlight away. Nicole ran home. "I hope I don't mess up. They need me to be good. I have to find a way to…" She shut her mouth and ran to her home.

"Let me get this straight. You didn't learn to climb ladders, you just made a staircase to go get news?" Heatherstar asked.

"For the 16th time, yes." Kitty sighed. "By the way, thanks for agreeing to help us Zoey."

"It is no problem. If Lizzie is in danger, I want to help. I was sat down for the entire war last time."

"Well, I'm glad you can help us." Kitty said.

"Yes, it is much appreciated." Thobi added.

"It's time. Are you ready Zoey?" Kitty asks.

"Let's get this show on the road." Zoey said, walking out on stage.

"Let's hope the others are also in position." Tohbi said.

"Go Kitty. Hurry." Heatherstar said. Kitty began running to the opposite side of the emporium.

"Where is Kitty?" Taylor asks.

"Probably on her way." Leo replies. "Thanks for helping us Samuel."

"If my sister is in trouble like you say, then I have to help."

"Are we going to get in trouble for kit napping?" Taylor asks.

"Not if I came by my own free will, and you release me if I ask you to." Samuel said matter of factly.

"You are so smart. How do you not have a mentor?" Leo asks.

"I'm going into a new group of cats that have no adult cats to teach us. We are figuring it out as we go." He explained.

"Guys I'm here." Kitty said, coming out from behind the other cats. They all jumped, and would have screamed if Kitty hadn't put her paws on the two older cat's mouths, and her tail on Samuel's mouth.

"Don't scare us like that!" Leo yelled.

"Pth. Your tail is fluffy." Samuel said, trying to get the fluff out of his face.

"All set?" Kitty asked, ignoring their complaints.

"Yes." Leo replied.

"Good. Let's hope Moonlight takes the bait."

"Mom!" Nicole yelled. "Where is Samuel?"

"He is missing, we haven't seen him since he went out to play after breakfast, he wasn't here for lunch!"

"He never misses lunch!" Nicole was shocked. "I'll get looking." She ran out. She had ran about 50 blocks when she heard a whisper.

"Nicole." It could have been the breeze, but Nicole didn't think so.

"Who is there?"

"Nicole." The sound was coming from a bush. She walked towards it cautiously. Something grabbed her. She almost screamed but something covered her mouth.

"Samuel?" She asked in shock. She looked around and saw three other cats. "Wait… I know you guys. You were the ones questioning were the leaders were-" She slapped her paw over her mouth.

"Yeah. We know you know something."

"Leo! Be nice!" One of the cats said, slapping the rude one.

"Kitty is right! Be nice."

"Hi Nicole, I'm Kitty. This is Taylor," she said pointing to another female cat, "and this rude tom is Leo."

"You're the one who would spy on the over world for us, right?" Nicole asked, addressing the one known as "Kitty."

"Yes, I am." she responded.

"I can't tell you about the leaders. I don't know anything." She said in a commanding voice, though she was very nervous. "Come on Samuel, mom and dad are very worried."

"Nicole, are you ok? You aren't yourself." Samuel told her.

"We can protect you from Moonlight, but we need your help. We know something bad is going on. Please." Kitty said.

Nicole took a deep breath in and out. "Fine, if Moonlight hurts my family though, I will destroy you." She said. "Where do I start. Probably after the meeting right? I only have half an hour. Let's get to someplace safer."

"We have you covered." Taylor said. "Let's go."

"Wait, Samuel has to come with us." Nicole said.

"Really?" Samuel asked.

"Yeah. Ok, Taylor was it? Lead the way."
