Aleene's Life

All of those years ago

Aleene smiled at the newborns in her arms. The one on the left, was a white cat, named Alena, like Aleene's mother, who had died last year, but she had big, beautiful green eyes, like Aleene. The infant in her right arm, however, was a light gray cat that had grayish blue patches, like Aleene did, but her eyes were amber, like Aleene's sister, Maggie, who walked into the Parts & Services room to see the children.

"Aww, Aleene they're so cute! And they look just like you!", Maggie said, smiling. "Thank you, and thank you too Jake.", Aleene replied, turning towards the night guard who had built the infants for her. "Any time Aleene, any time.", he said, walking out so he could get back to his office.

"So, what are their names?", Onix, a peacock animatronic asked, walking into the room. "This one that has a white coat, is Alena, named after my mother. And the one with blue patches like me, is named Alice.", Aleene said, cooing at the small children. "So, what are their jobs? They need to have jobs when they get older.", Basket, a cat asked, leaning against the doorframe, "I'm a waiter, Onix is a waiter too, Maggie's a cook/backup singer, and you're the lead performer!"

"We'll have to wait and see, I don't want to force them to feel like they need to have those jobs.", Aleene said, and she began to walk to her room, where the cribs were ready, "Now, I'm exhausted, and I need to get ready to make them some milk.", Aleene said, shaking the adorableness of the infants off. Babies aren't just cute, they're hard work, and she knew that, "Basket, can you prepare the milk formula while I put these two in their cribs?", she asked, and Basket nodded and headed to the kitchen, and Aleene headed to her room, and put the kittens in the cribs.

"I love you both, and I always will. Don't you ever forget that.", she said, "Alena, may you be blessed with the beauty of a queen, but be as humble as my mother was, and a heart of gold to go with it, but be warned my baby girl, someone may take advantage of you, and I wish you the ability to know when they try.", Aleene crooned, kissing the white cat on the nose. "And may you, Alice, look out for yourself and others, fiercely, but nobly. May you have the beauty your sister has, and never forget it. May you be able to stick up for yourself, and those you love and care for.", the new mother said, "People will deceive you, but sweetie, that will only make you stronger. I wish you to have an artist's hand, a songbird's voice and a lion's strength, both in emotions, and muscle.", Aleene said, and kissed Alice on the nose as well. "You two are my pride and joy, and I want you to know that, and find strength in it.", Aleene tucked them into their cribs, and left for the kitchen to see if Basket had done as she asked.

She entered the kitchen, and saw the cat rubbing the tip of his fingers, bored out of his mind, but at least he did take out the formula. "Thanks for doing what I asked Basket.", she said, pulling out some baby bottles and measuring the powder into them. "Well, for a beautiful feline such as yourself, it was nothing.", he said, leaning in to kiss her, and she simply stuck out her hand, making him kiss her palm. "Aww, why you gotta be like that baby?", he said, leaning into her, getting so close she could feel his chest on her back. "Because you're married to my sister, and she loves you, and you love her.", Aleene said, growling at him, warning him to back off. "But I love you too babe.", he said, though he did take the hint and backed off.

"Yes, but I, don't love you.", she said, continuing to mix the formula with warm water. "Aww c'mon, you know you love me, we could be a family together, what do you say?", Basket asked with a purr. "Let me think about it...no.", Aleene said, as her anger got the better of her, and her claws unsheathed, and her green eyes turned a bright yellow, and her eyes became slits, "Now I'm going to give you ten seconds to leave this room, before I gut you like a fish.", she said, her voice like ice.

Basket's eyes widened and didn't argue, leaving the room, letting Aleene calm down, her claws sheathed themselves, and her eyes returned to normal as she finished the formula and brought it to her room to her bedside table, and suddenly, she looked at the picture of her mother on the table. "For the love of all that's holy...don't give my daughters the curse that I have...", Aleene said, just as Alena began to cry, so Aleene walked over and picked her up, and began to feed her one of the bottles. "Please.", she said one more time, as Alena began to calm down.

"Mommy, mommy! Someone's pulling up in the parking lot!", Alice said, running up to Aleene, who was reading to Alena. "They are? I wonder who that could be...", she said, walking out of her bedroom and peering out the front doors of the restaurant to see who it was, and smiled when she saw a tall, muscular white tiger getting out of a car, followed by a white fox with a red stripe going down her back, and a black cat. "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle...", she murmured, opening the door, inviting her guests inside.

"Hello Aleene, it's nice to see you again.", the tiger said, holding the door open for the white and red fox. "It's nice to see you too Horus, how have you been?", Aleene asked, "And who's your friend?" Horus chuckled before saying, "I've been good, and my 'friend' here, is Shay, my wife." Aleene gasped, "Aww, congratulations! And your last visit you said you'd never settle down.", she said, before extending her hand out to Shay, "I'm Aleene, I'm an old friend of Horus'.", Shay shook her hand, "Nice to meet you too, Horus was excited to see you again." "And it's nice to see you too Shadow.", Aleene said, hugging the black cat.

"Well, we have a lot to talk about, as now both Aleene and I have families, correct?", Horus asked, nodding to the two five year olds who were spying on them. "Hi, I'm Alena!", the white cat said, realizing that she had been caught, so she walked up to greet the new arrivals. "My name's Horus, I'm a good friend of your mother.", Horus said, "And it's nice to meet you. What's your sister's name?" "Her name is Alice, she's nice. Sometimes she draws pictures for me!", Alena said, getting an 'Aww' from Horus, Shay and Shadow. "I know isn't she cute?", Aleene said, "Hey! I'm cute too!", Alice said, jumping out from her hiding spot before she realized what she was doing. "Oops."

The adults and Alena chuckled, and Aleene waved the gray and blue child over, and they all talked the night away until Horus, Shay and Shadow had to leave.

*5 years later*

Aleene was cleaning the dishes from the day, the janitor was slacking, and since today was a busy one, there was a big mess to take care of, everyone was helping, even Alena and Alice, who were cleaning the tables off in the party room.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around Aleene's waist, and she frowned and tried to ignore the owner of the arms. "What do you want Basket?", she grumbled, he was the last person she wanted to talk to. "I just wanted to see if there was any way for me to help you, miss love of my life.", he responded with a sly grin.

But Aleene was not about to reward him for his efforts, and ignored him. But that annoyed Basket, so he decided he wouldn't take no for an answer. He grabbed her waist and turned her to face him, and began to kiss her while massaging her breasts, while Aleene was doing nothing to get him off of her.

What neither of them knew, was that Alice was watching from the door, helplessly watching Basket take advantage of her mother. But her mother saw her, and while Basket's eyes were closed, motioned for Alice to be quiet, for the reason she wasn't fighting back was that Basket had recently gotten tired of being turned down, so he had threatened the safety of her daughters. She knew that if he found out Alice knew about his crimes, Aleene had no doubt he would hurt her ten times as much, if he didn't kill her... so Alice nodded, and walked away, simply telling her sister that their mother was busy, and couldn't help them with the last couple tables.

Aleene began to cry as she watched her daughter walk away. She hated that her daughter had seen her like this, weak, and helpless, but she couldn't fight back. She didn't want him to hurt them.

Little did she know that it wouldn't matter.
