A Broken Shadow - BrokenShade's Heart

Chapter 2

She whimpered before falling, all she could do was try.
Try to use some sort of magic to save herself.
Her wings flew open, but she wasn't quite sure how exactly to use them, since they were new.

Help!
She pleaded silently, willing to do... something!
Suddenly she felt air again, not falling through it this time. It was calm floating air.
She opened her eyes and looked around.
She seemed to be in a portal.

The portal behind her had already closed.
She took a deep breath and willed it to open some other world.
She watched, amazed, as a portal to a new, grassy world opened. There was a cat though.
They both froze in horror.
"Who are you?!"

BrokenShade took a step backwards, then another.
"I- I don't mean any harm!"
The cat looked at her funnily.
"Come with me then. I'll take you to Truth Teller."
"'Truth Teller'?"
"Don't ask, just hurry up and keep pace. He'll be very glad I'm turning you into him."

"For the last time we don't have cops!"
The cat sighed, seeming exasperated at her questions.
BrokenShade paused as the tom did.
"I ask for entry, dear Truth Teller of Time."
The huge wooden door opened right after his words.

A cat was sitting on a throne. The sight of him made her feel sick, and terrified.
She wasn't sure why, but the cat's ruthless eyes and brown fur reminded her of her own aunt. She didn't know why.
Maybe she was a bad person.
No way she was! She's amazing!
Don't you remember how she treated you, and stuck you in arguments?
She'd never do that...
She was arguing with the voice in her head, and doubt nagged at her.
What if it was right?
She pushed away the thought immediately.

"Truth Teller, what does this cat's feelings speak to you, when I ask her whether she's evil or not?"
Truth tilted his head awkwardly.
"She speaks the truth, she's not evil. In fact, it seems she lost her mother and is now looking for her."

BrokenShade looked up.
"You're correct then, sir. I seek my mother. And maybe help even, if that's okay."
The cat laughed at her words.
"You seek help? Young kit, we need your help."
