Not but a few moments later, I heard Finny outside yelling at Pluto. When I looked out the window, I saw him being drug while holding onto the demon-hound's leash while it chased a kitten. I quickly turned and started towards the garden, thinking to grab a piece of meat from the kitchen as I went. Once I was on the scene, I whistled, holding the treat out.
Pluto stopped in his tracks, making Finny fly forward. He then changed back into his human form, and ran towards me. I gave him the meat, then turned to see Finny lying flat on his back, dazed.
"Are you alright?" I asked as I came to his side.
"Fine!" he jumped up, stumbling a little. "Thanks a lot! Uh, where's the kitten?"
We turned simultaneously when we heard a little meow to find the little calico cat sitting up in a tree.
"How on earth did it get up there!?" my mouth hung open. It seemed to be far too young to climb!
"It's okay, I'll get it!" he told me, starting up the tree.
"Be careful!" I called as he started out onto the thin branch where the kitten sat, holding on for dear life. I covered my mouth, having the urge to look away as he reached for it.
"Got it!" he said happily. "But how do I get down...?"
I held out the edges of my dress, making a safety net. "Toss it down here so you can climb!"
"Alright," he said nervously, dropping it. Even though it was only a five foot drop or so for the kitten, it was still scary to watch. Nevertheless, the kitten landed safely onto my dress.
"I'm going to put it back!" I said as I turned away. I immediately heard a crash behind me and looked to see Finny on the ground.
I held my breath until I heard a weak "I'm okay!"
