Warriors: The Clans Curse, The Second Sight (Book 1 Fanfiction)

Chapter 17

Fallingpaw crept up to one of the humans who looked dazed at the television watching the moving pictures that changed ever so often. Fallingpaw leapt into its arms purring quietly as the human stroked Fallingpaw's bareback soothingly and rhythmically. Fallingpaw was getting well adjusted to this life, she could understand why Meatball and Spaghetti have stayed here in with the humans, and she could also understand her sister's eagerness to be back in the wilderness. The only thing that really bothered Fallingpaw was the collar that was wrapped around her neck constantly.

Fallingpaw got up from the Humans' warm lap and leapt down from the couch and trotted into the room with Spaghetti was in. "Spaghetti, why is Meatball...so" Fallingpaw's mew trailed off as she tried to find the word that fitted Meatball the most.

"Bossy? She hasn't been to the Cutters because she always stays inside the den. It all depends on the Humans who take care of you, My first humans took me and my brothers and sisters to the cutters when we were kittens, but they didn't take my parents there" replied Spaghetti.

"After you come back from the Cutters you can no longer have mate and become fatter." Interrupted Meatball as she walked into the kitchen joining the two "You might want to leave soon if you don't want to go to the cutters, its the only way. The humans have been talking about taking you there for a few days."

"Yellowpaw was right! I shouldn't have stayed here, this is not fair! Why in Starclan would you stay here if the humans do that to you? "Growled Fallingpaw.

"I'm actually surprised when they took you to the vets' that they didn't get the cutter to visit you while you were there." Stated Meatball coldly.

Fallingpaw's slightly crooked jaw gaped open in shock. "Don't worry, it's not that bad! afterwards, you can go where ever you please and don't have to worry, and the Humans are all so kind and caring there" reassured Spaghetti as he nodded.

"Don't listen to this walking skin blob. You need to get out of here Soba, and fast." Rushed Meatball "He doesn't understand to be a she-cat! Now I can somewhat help you get out of here, but it will be tricky. We'll start planning in the morning hide somewhere for the night, under the television table is your safest bet."

Fallingpaw made her way to the television room, there was a clear view of the door that Yellowpaw used to get out. She quickly tasted the air, the scent of human was stale maybe a few hours old, Fallingpaw carefully crawled under the low bearing table and hid in a pile of vines thatkept her warm. Heart racing Fallingpaw tried to calm herself down toget some sleep but that was useless she was too terrified to sleep what so ever, Fallingpaw let out a strangled cough from her body. She curled herself up tightly hiding deep in the vines and tried her luck on sleeping again.

Fallingpaw abruptly awoke to constant bleating from Meatball, "Soba. They're coming get ready to sprint out the door, It was nice meeting you....sorry for being a total chickens' butt."

"Okay, and that's fine you have your reasons" replied Fallingpaw as she got to her paws and watched the door.

The humans came one after the other holding items in their paws, Meatball carefully went past the first one and stopped at the last human to enter, it was smaller than the rest and a lot more uncoordinated. Meatball waved her tail around the human purring loudly rubbing herbody over the human's hind legs, the human instantly dropped what it was holding its paws and stopped to pick up Meatball's bulky body. Fallingpaw immediately shot out of from under the television counter and through the open door.

The cold air hit Fallingpaw's face like a branch causing her to start coughing, Fallingpaw stopped right next to the giant monster and let out a hackling cough then started running.

"Hey, fellow cat." meowed a cat sitting up on a picket fence proudly. Fallingpaw looked up to see a burly brown tom relaxing with the sunshine on his back. "That's not good, you should have stayed inside with your Housefolk, they would have kept you nice and healthy."

"Haveyou seen my sister?" Fallingpaw paused and looked around "She is a bit bigger than me.... she has gold and brown tabby fur and bright green eyes."

"I've met many cats of that description" Slurred the Tom as he jumped down from the fence and trotted towards Fallingpaw. "The name is Jefrey, what's yours?"

"Soba...Have you seen my sister, it has been a half moon since she left!" Panicked Fallingpaw as she started to look around and backed up.

"oh!you mean the cute thing.." Jefrey paused and sized up Fallingpaw with a harsh, quick stare "I'm not going to tell you."

"Can you please tell me it's important? I'll do anything" Replied Fallingpaw trying to sound desperate.

"Anything?"Jefrey's eyes instantly widened as Fallingpaw nodded back quickly."Well then I could use a mate, you see, I'm getting old, and well I want to have kin."

"Okay but first tell me where my sister went?" Soothed Fallingpaw as she tried tempting him the best she could to get out all his information. Jefrey flicked his ear towards a bunch of trees and bushes that grew wildly and uncontrolled nothing like the human's gardens.

"Nowcome with me little kitty" Purred Jefrey as he made his way to the human's front door.

"What a mangy flea ridden piece of work!" Hissed Fallingpaw as she unsheathed her claws "You really think that a cat would fall in love with someone like you?"

Jefrey started backing up slowly startled with the change of events. "why?"

"I don't know how your kittypet little head of yours is actually coping with this!" Exclaimed Fallingpaw as she started to move towards the tall scared tom. "Thanks for the information" Fallingpaw swiftly raked down Jefrey's muzzle sending him running to his humans. Fallingpaw went around the tom and raced along to the trees he pointed out. "please let Yellowpaw be close...please."
