Stella's Story

Chapter 11 - Liliana!

      After the whole "incident", I've been really careful around strangers. Especially the ones that visit Carol...
      Moving on! One of my favorite things to do, was to look out of the highest window and spot animals. I ran upstairs to the room with the highest window. The attic.
      Once I reached where the attic's ladder was supposed to be, I realized something. The ladder wasn't down. Hmm. I wonder why. But whenever it's closed, there is this dangly string hanging off of it. I tried to reach it, but it was too far up.
      Oh well, can't do that. So I just went to the window at the end of the hallway. It wasn't as tall, but it was nice. There was a ledge for me to sit on and it had beautiful red curtains that stood out from the cream colored carpet.
       I jumped up into the ledge and moved the curtains out of the way. It was a beautiful view. But not as beautiful as the other window's view...
      You could see the forest and the dirt trail the divided the forest from our lawn. I could see a rabbit too. But that didn't grab my attention. What did grab my attention was the yellow thing coming out of the forest, past the trail, and into the yard.
      It kinda looked like Liliana. Wait. I rushed to a downstairs window to get a better look. I found a window and looked out. It is Liliana!! But... She doesn't have her collar on... Wierd..
      I ran out the cat door and went over to where she was. I saw her and yelled her name. She looked at me and ran away startled. I chased after her. But then I remembered. I have wings.
      I flew after her, which was a lot faster, so I caught up fast. "Liliana!!" I yelled. She tried to sprint, but she wasn't getting anywhere.
       I jumped on her and she hisses and scratched me. "It's me! Stella!" I cried. She didn't listen to me. I picked her up and flew a couple feet off of the ground. "Liliana, calm down!" She kept in hissing. I look around and saw Tucker looking through the window shocked.
       I flew over to the window with Liliana in my grasp. "Tucker!" I yelled through the window screen. "I found Lil-"  "Are you trying to kill her?!" Tucker interrupted. "N-no!" I stuttered. "I just found her running away!" Tucker just liked at me still stunned.
      I told him I would bring her in, and he ran downstairs in a flash. With Liliana still trying to scratch me, I flew around to the front of the house. I saw Tucker out there and Oliver just coming out with a kitten in his mouth.
       I was about a foot off of the ground. If I went any lower, Liliana could escape. "I found her around the back!" I told them. Tucker slowly walked up to me and looked up at Liliana, who was still throwing a fit.
      "Liliana...?" He said. Oliver dropped the kitten in amazement. The kitten was Betty. Betty scurried back into the house.
      "Yes! It's me! Liliana!" She yelled. "Now let me go!" She dug her claws into my skin which caused me to let go of her. I fell down in pain. Liliana started to run back into the forest. "Don't worry about me, go get her!" I told the boys. The two cats sprinted after her.
       I know my leg was weak form the deep scratch, but I could still fly. I flew after them. Tucker cried out her name, but she just ran away. I glided over them and I could tell that Oliver had tears in his eyes.
      All of a sudden, Tucker came to a stop, and Oliver skidded into a stop. I didn't know why they stopped, but I landed anyways.
      Liliana kept on running and ran into the forest and yelled "haha! See you later suckers!" And right after she said that, a cat pounced onto Oliver and knocked him out. I screamed his name with tears in my eyes. Then I heard Tucker scream. I whipped around to see a second cat attacking him.
      I spun forward to see a brown cat ready to attack me, and Liliana standing behind the tom with an evil grin on her face. "Why are you doing this?!" I yelled. She just made an evil laugh and said "Now." And the cat knocked me out.
