A dark blue minicon, (small robot, for those of you that don't know.) a frog, and Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho step out. "Help us," the frog croaks. The minicon says something, but he only talks in electronic beeps, so Hiei (who for some reason can understand it) nods in agreement. He looks around then whispers to you: "Help, she has us captive! Calls us her co-authors." Suddenly, they hear footsteps approaching, and all three slip into the shadows...
Commenters/reviewers;
Greengangster: Yes, it was sad, but at least all Kala's troubles are over. Scaide's on the other hand, are just beginning...Muahaha.
Page twelve
Merra and the tom scurried behind a rock.
"Forgive me," he said, "My second is a little..."
"Rebellious?" Merra suggested.
"And suspicious," the tom nodded. "Couldn't wait for me to find out what was going on before he attacked. Anyway, we should stop this fight before we do anything else.
It was times like this that Koryo really hated ambushes. Whichever cat had ordered this attack was really starting to bug him as he chased a silver she-cat away from camp, then barreled back into the fray.
He noticed Scaide squirming under a huge gray tomcat. Why does she always pick fights with the big ones? he wondered desparatedly. He was about to go help her out when a voice rang out
"Stop!"
Merra's voice joined it.
"Yes, Listen to him!
Within a few seconds, all cats had stopped fighting, except for a large white tomcat with a few black blotches on his head and tail. The tom snarled as he struggled to hold on to a furiously struggling Senni.
"Get off me!" she gasped. "They told us to stop!"
"Sorry sweet-paws, but I'm not a soft as my clowder-mates," he purred back, easily holding on to the much smaller warrior.
"Sydraz, let her go!" Called the ginger and white tom that sat beside Merra.
The black and white tom gave Senni a look of resentment, then moved off her.
The other clowder's leader turned to Merra, and told her, "My name is Onerac. I lead this clowder.
The she-cat dipped her head respectfully, and answered, "My name is Merra. My clowder and I are travelling from our territory, as it has been invaded."
Onerac nodded. You may stay with us for a while. It doesn't look like they've eaten properly for a while." And indeed, several members of Merra's clowder looked unusually scrawny.
The second, Sydraz gasped. "Allow them to stay with us, and learn about us!" Are you mad?"
Onerac answered coolly, "If these are all the warriors she has, I doubt they would be able to do significant damage to us."
"We would like that. Thank you," Merra purred.
Oneric lifted his head. "Then we will escort you to our camp.
Both clowders cooperated nicely. Even Sydraz accepted it with no more than a glare.
Scaide noted the change of scenery as they entered the mountains. The trees became shorter, and more shrub-like. Ocaisionally, she would stumble on a rock. These became more and more frequent, untill she stumbled a foot or two...right into Sydraz.
"Watch it!" the second snarled. Without thinking, Scaide dropped into the fighter's crouch, and hissed. Sydraz looked ready to spring, when a golden tabby cat shouldered between them.
"Knock it off, " the young tom growled. He turned to Scaide. "Don't attack a cat on his own territory. Be more careful or you'll end up in trouble."
To Sydraz he said, "She can't help it if she's an idiot. Leave her alone."
The much larger tomcat glared, then prowled over to harass Hana.
When the tabby turned back to Scaide, he noticed that she was still crouched as if to spring. He spoke quickly.
"Sorry, but the only way to get Sydraz to leave you alone is to admit that he's better than you.
Scaide stood up. "That makes sense. My name's Scaide, by the way."
"I'm Atrun," answered the golden tabby.
Scaide surveyed Atrun. He was built along the same lines as she was: Thin and lean, with long legs, though he was a little bigger. She caught a gleam of laughter in his sky-blue eyes.
"Why are you out here," he asked.
"Humans built a den on the edge of our territory," the brown she-cat answered. One of them has a thunderstick. Have you heard of them?"
"Once or twice," said Atrun. "I've heard they can kill you from an distance."
Scaide nodded. "One of our clowder-mates was killed. Merra didn't want to lose any more of us, so we left....Oh! We're falling behind."
As the two young cats ran to catch up with the others, Scaide felt a tinge of both jelousy, and strangely, happiness. Atrun was faster than she was.
