Cats of the City

Chapter 5

Boston yelled, "Get this disgusting cat out of my sight! Get him out of my part of the city and make sure that he doesn't find his way back! Now someone, anyone, get him out of here!"

Seoul watched Cecily get up and she strutted over to Alex. "Get up! Come on." She growled.

Boston watched her, "Thank you Cecily. At least one of you are useful." Boston huffed. Seoul felt anger burn inside him. He hated Boston.

He padded towards Cecily and Alex who were walking towards the barns entrance. "I'm coming with you." He stated stiffly.

Boston shouted something but Seoul ignored him as Cecily,Alex and him walked out.

Once they were safely away from the barn, Cecily exclaimed, "Alexander, what the heck are you doing here? Your lucky he didn't kill you! Alexander do you know-" Alex cut her off and mewed coolly, "Relax little sister. I'm alive aren't I?"

Seoul gasped. Alex and Cecily were siblings?

Alex turned his attention towards Seoul and narrowed his eyes, "Who is this?" He asked. Cecily sighed and explained how Seoul got to America.

"You've got a nice backstory kid. Well, welcome to America, Seoul." Alex said quietly as they turned a corner.

He then looked at Cecily and stated, "I want you to leave Boston's group tonight. Patriot said that he was planning on attacking Boston again." Cecily gasped.

Seoul was confused, who was Patriot and why would a cat want to attack Boston? He was rude, but Seoul didn't think that was a good reason to attack a cat.

"Why would a cat want to attack Boston?" He blurted. Alex stopped walking and hissed, "Cecily hasn't told you?"

Cecily shook her head, "No because Boston already doesn't trust Seoul. And if I know Seoul at all he would confront Boston."

Alex sighed and then sat down. "Boston..isn't a good cat. He's evil, the only reason Cecily is still there is because right now it's the safest place for her. But now...I want her to join me and some others who are wanting to stop Boston."

Seoul nodded, then asked, "But what has he done Alexander?"

The blue eyed tabby stared at him and sighed, "Your hardly older than a kitten..but I suppose you should know. Most cats of the City believe that New York City should belong to every cat and that we should hunt and live in harmony. But cats like Boston believe that they should own the city. Boston is taking more and more of the city as his own and the cats who don't live with Boston's group have less, and less places to hunt,sleep, and raise kittens. He himself, has murdered cats who got in his way. Countless cats."

Seoul nodded slowly. "Why don't the cats just patrol the area where they sleep and stop Boston from taking more land?" He mewed.

Alex sighed, "The cats don't believe in patrolling, and even if they did they would never be able to defend themselves against Boston's henchman or Boston himself. However Boston just sits around the barn all day, anymore."

Seoul blinked, all of this didn't make sense, "Why don't you get cats to make Boston's followers rebel?"

Alex smiled, "That is a wonderful idea Seoul! Come let's go tell Patriot,he's going to love you. Maybe he will even let you fight in our raid tonight."

Seoul looked at Alex and then at Cecily.

"I'm not so sure..cats will most likely be injured or worse, killed. I have no experience and like you said earlier, I'm hardly more than a kitten!"

Alex rolled his eyes, "Oh excuses, I do love excuses. Now Seoul, I know you don't like Boston, so why not fight against him tonight?"

Seoul blinked. He couldn't make up his mind of whether he liked Alexander or not.

Cecily grumbled, "Alex leave Seoul alone, he doesn't have to fight."

Alex shook his head. "I know your worried that he'd get hurt. But Cecie look at him! Short, yet well built, he looks agile, of course his reflexes could use a bit of fixing but, what we have here is a soldier!"

Seoul glared at Alex. He knew now that he did not like Alexander. "I'm no soldier, trust me! I'm clumsy and I don't have any experience!"

Alex scoffed as the walked down a eerie street. "You sound too much like my sister. Man-up kid." The blue eyed tabby walked ahead of Cecily and Seoul and they all became quite.

Finally Seoul asked, "Cecily, are you going to join Patriot?" Cecily looked into Seoul's jade green eyes. "I..suppose if Moss, Egypt and you would join me, then yes. Do you want to join him? He's nicer than Boston.."

Seoul shrugged, "I don't know. I might try and go back to-" Seoul cut off as Alex stopped walking, and glared at Seoul. "Go back to Britain? Seoul you'd never get back to Britain. Those ships would take you to some other land. Stay in New York City. It's safer."
