Chapter 2: Claws

Russet still remembered the fight with her mom/Snake every night she went to sleep, sometimes she didn't sleep and she watched the roof of her metal cage. Soon she got her twoleg  to move her to the back of the room so she could be away from Storm. Though it had been only two months Resset could still feel Storms gaze burning her. Reset realized a few weeks ago that her sixth battle was coming up, in fact is could happens any time, and she would have to get her metal claws. She also noticed at the same time she hadn't seen Crystal for a long time, while she was stil next to Snake she caught him whispering to Storm that Crystal had been the one to die in her first battle. Russet didn't know Crystal that well, Crystal was shy and would hardly ever hurt a cat in her life, but most of the time Russet was often pushed to the side by Storm. Is was obvious Storm cared more for Crystal than Russet and Russet kinda liked being not as close because she kept a lot of things trapped inside her and she could tell when Storm was lying because her tail always lashed when she did. 

Russet looked at the metal cage, she could once again feel Storms glare on her, but it felt different, it didn't feel like rage was buring into her, but regret and it was coming from Storm. Russet let out a small huff and turned her back to Storm, she didn't want to see her mother. Suddenly her cage started shaking and she was lifted into the air, being held by the scruff, Russet wondered why her cage wasn't coming and it hit her, she was getting her new claws. Russet shuddered almost already feeling the pain of her claws being ripped out one by one. The twoleg took her inside a room and placed her down on a table like thing. She clenched her jaw bogeying ready, but instead they put a mask on her and she took a breath in and fell asleep,

When Russet woke up, if had been only an hour later and something didn't feel right, she could still sheath and unsheathed her claws, she looked down and say they hadn't taken out her claws but placed a row of metal ones equally length with her really ones under the ones she was born with. Her paws were sore and she knew she wouldn't right for at least a day or so. She stood up on the table and brought a paw up for her to examine. The metal claw was a shiny silver with a metallic luster, she tapped one in the table and then looked to see if it had made a difference, and it had. The table then had a small dent just from a small tap, but the metal claws were ridged and sharp to a fine point much like her regular claws. The metal claw was placed under her normal claws, it looked like she had an extra set of claws and Russet didn't know whether to be happy or  not, she liked her original claws without anything to be in the way and how they unsheathed smoothly, but not they rubbed up against the metal claws but the metal ones made her look more fierce and dangerous and it would do more damage to other cats. And it would kill cats faster... Russet realized with a pang to the stomache as she put the piece of the puzzle together. The Twolegs wanted to show her off to other people, she had won namu battles and hardly got injury's because she was small and fast. 

She looked at that twoleg sitting in for corner of the room flipping through something, it had a bright cover with words Russet didn't understand and it had several pieces of thin paper all with colors and writing on them. Russet let out a new and the twoleg turned to look at her. It got out of its seat and went over to Russet and gently stroked her head. Russet had never felt a Twolegs hands stroking her they always shoved her around and held her painfully by the scruff. She let out a small purr and the twoleg picked her up and put her back into a cage "I'm sorry little one, but it's not my choice to decide what happens to you" The twoleg said and Russet wishes she could understand what it had said. She put her outside the room and put her down and touched Russets soft red fur one  more time then closed the door.

Soon another twoleg violently picked up her cage and put her in her old spot by Snake. Russet let out a soft growl and sat down and licked a paw and drew it over her ear, careful not to scratch her ear with her sharp claws. Snake starred at the claws and noticed there were two sets and turned to tell Storm. Russet scoffed then turned her back to Snake and Storm and went to sleep but she heard Snake calling her name but she didn't look. She didn't want to.
