Once the sun was in the sky, I could feel the warmth of it and purr. Then I hear giggles. I look up to see a white cat. Once the kitten noticed me noticing him, he gasped and ran off into the nearest bush.
I stare at the bush confused, and then look around for Sun. She was no where to be found. So I got up and trotted over to the bush
"H-hello?" I stutter. A little voice squeaks out "Go away!"
"Excuse me?" I reply
"I'm not here!"
I get closer to the bush and sit down. "Are you going to come out?" I ask. "None of your beeswax!" He shouts in anger. I tilt my head "Why is that?" He peers out of the bush "Because I'm spying on you and supposed to be hiding, and obviously I wasn't doing a good job-" he continues to babble on.
But one part of his lecture, I hear him talk about Sun. "And the wolf got in the way, so my leader sent troops to-" "Wait hold up. You.. She got in the way?" I interrupted, and he replied with "well yeah, if my clan were to attack you, we'd need to get the big picture out of the way." He quickly places a paw in front of his mouth.
"What?!" I yell. "Where is she now?!" I panicked and pull the kitten out of the bush. "Tell me!" I demand and pin him to the ground. "Th-that's classified!" He sticks out his tongue.
I was starting to lose my temper. So I picked him up with my mouth and flew up high in the sky. The higher he got, the more he nervously shouted. "ILL TELL YA WHERE SHE IS IF YOU PROMISE NOT TO DROP ME!!!" He yelled in fear. "Yeah?" muffled talking comes out of my mouth. "Yesyesyes!" He nods about five million times.
I glide down close to the ground, but not enough for him to escape. "Ok ok, my leader sent troops to-" "who's your leader?" I demand with a mouthful.
He covers his eyes and says "I don't think you'd know-" "Tell me!" I shout. "Her name is Princess!" He starts to sob. Wow. Overdramatic. I lower him to the ground and place him down. "Thank you." Wait... Princess? My mind trails off and goes nuts.
"No, thank you." He smirks and walks off. I pretend like I don't care about where he is going, so I head off in the other direction, looking behind me from time to time.
Once I got in a safe hiding spot, I spied on him all the way to his clan. "Hey..." I whisper to myself. "This place seems familiar..." Inside, I saw the same white kitten from earlier talking to a floofy golden cat. It is princess!
But what does he have to do with her? Where is Sun? Questions filled my mind like crazy. I look around to do something for a disguise. Some trees. Mud. Dirt- that's it!
I padded carefully over to the mud and rolled around in it. Done! Not only will I be camouflaged, but my sent will also go away! I quickly rush over to the entrance, then tried my best to fit it. I looked bored to not seem suspicious.
"Charlie!" A squeak comes from behind me. I turn around to find kittens running towards me. "O-oh, hi!" I say. "We missed you!" The second kitten says. I stuttered. "I- I missed you guys too!" I purred to sound like I cared. The kittens giggle. "Well, I have some... Work to attend. I'll be back." I smile and ponder off. "I thought you didn't have work on Thursdays?" I stop in my trail and turn my head. "Well I have some today." And laugh nervously. "Ya know, the boss. She's always on my hind." I laugh a bit. "Oh, ok. Bye Charlie!!" The second kitten yells.
I slowly came closer and closer to princess and the kitten. I got close enough to eaves drop. "Yes, Stella is in the clear, with the silly dog out of the way." The kitten says proudly. Ooh that little devil- I yell in my head. "Good." She licks him. "You were always my favorite son, Salt. So much better than your older brother Pepper." She purrs and continues to lick him. I gasped in surprise. My Pepper??
