Cat Apocalypse

Chapter 1

'Meow.' Said Felix the cat, munching on a piece of dog bone. He had been stuck in this place for hours, searching for a way to get out. Though, obviously, he didn't succeed.

'Meow, Meow, meow meow!' Said Fluffy the cat guard, opening the door to Felix's cell wide enough for Felix to slip through slyly. The cell door slammed shut as Fluffy locked the door with the special paw-scanner that detected the prison guard's paw prints. The scanner beeped and Fluffy took his paw off.

Felix groaned as Fluffy then put him on a lead by clipping it to his orange colour, one that marked a cat as a prisoner. He hissed at Felix then attached him to a pole at the side of the corridor, before pressing a button on the wall that read 'Meowmeow meeeoow' (meaning 'wall walkie-talkie' in the English language.)

He spoke into the walkie talkie then turned around, releasing the button. He undid the lead from the pole and started to walk Felix down the corridor, to the main room, where they were going to judge Felix's destiny- to stay in the Cat Kingdom or go Underground.

Underground.

'He's coming soon.' Mary said, her fingers hurriedly brushing through her auburn hair.

'I know. I hope they bring food supplies this time.' Steve replies.

They sit and stare at a random spot, contemplating. The King, Gray Mittens the second, would be arriving soon, to once again tell them about another life-destroying law or to announce something. Not a nice King at all.

'I hope that there won't be any punishments this time.' Mary finally says.

'There won't.' Steve interrupts, his voice forceful and slightly angry, 'they can't.' He says, more doubtfully.

Silence once again succeeds.

'Please head towards the Centre Square! Please head towards the Centre Square!' An alarm suddenly blares repeatedly, audible from any distance Underground.

Mary and Steve look at each other sadly, and nod, before standing up and stepping out of their rickety wooden house. They head towards the Centre Square, their heads down like all the other Humans that were walking towards the Centre Square, zombie like and noiseless.

After the Great Overtaking in 2579, the Cat race had taken over the Human race and has been like that ever since, almost two hundred years later. The Underground had been built to house the population of the humans, an enormous, dark cave that rarely got supplies and was often flooded with disease and poverty. The ever growing population of the Cats had got domination of the whole world, and now lived above ground in what everyone called the Cat Kingdom.

'Please head towards the Centre Square!' The alarm continued to wail, the only sound audible in the cavernous hole that seemed full of dirty, wooden, straw, mud and rock houses.

Steve and Mary continued to walk at a brisk pace, joining a queue of hundreds of Humans that flocked into the Centre Square. After a few minutes of hustle, they were all in, everyone's faces down and silently awaiting their cruel leader.

A trumpet sounded, playing the World Anthem for Cats.

Every human joined in with the hymn:

'The Cats, supreme, they lead us,
They are the glorious leaders,
We must obey and heed them,
Or they will be so fearsome.'

Every Human sang the hymn perfectly, being schooled on the lyrics since they were youngsters.

The song finished and all the Humans continued to look down as they heard another set of trumpets blare, and knew that the King was already on the podium.

'Meow!' The King exclaimed, and all the Humans raised their hands to their hearts and shouted back:

'Hail Cats.'

Then the Humans all looked up at the bluish-grey cat that stood on the centre podium, wearing a small gold crown and a blue cape.

A Human stood by Gray Mittens, the only Human that the Cats trusted, and the translator for the King.

'Meow, Meowmeow, Meow, meow Meowmeow, meowww.' The King screeched, his head swinging back and forth.

'A new law has been introduced: Any Cats that have disobeyed the laws by any way are to be sent to the Underground, and will live with you.' The translator said in perfect English.

'Meow, meeeeeoowwww, meow!' Grays continued.

'The first of the Cats is Felix Oberly, who is now part of your community. Some building materials will be delivered tomorrow. Goodbye.' The translator said, turning around and walking after the King who had already made it to his helicopter.

The helicopter's engine growled and soon it flew up and through the only hole in the Underground that lead above.

Every Human stood in shock, looking around and starting to mutter to each other. Even Steve turned to Mary.

'Cats here? That's strange. I guess they want them to suffer like us. I wonder where this Cat is though.' He said, scratching himself in the dirty, torn clothes he wore.

'Meow?' A quiet voice said and Steve stopped. Mary's eyes widened as she looked down and saw what was sitting on the floor by their feet.

A black and white Cat with green eyes sat by them, whisking his tail back and forth.

'An actual Cat?' Mary screamed, and soon half the Humans were shouting and pushing to get to see it.
