BlueWhiskers; The Beginning Of A Journey |✔ [A Cat Story \ A Cat Book]

Chapter 23

"You!" She exclaimed.
"Where have you been?" Gentle asked.
I sighed as I released it was just Gentle. She was too fast for me to tell.
Gentle got off me.
She gasped. "Uni?!"
Uni smiled weakly. "How- what... What happened to her?" Gentle asked, in shock. "It doesn't matter right now... But she needs food." I said.
"Well, that should be easy. Blackhawk just caught like, a whole family of rabbits" Gentle said.
"Well, than let's help Uni there. Lead the way" I said to Gentle. I walked to Uni, and let her lean on me.
"No way, I'm helping" Gentle said, letting Uni lean on her too.

~~~~~~~~~~~

We made it back to the others.
Backstab and Snicker were shocked and worried as they saw Uni.
Ra came from the den.
"Get her inside with the food" he ordered. We walked inside the den, and Uni sat down, and immediately started eating. Backstab and Snicker ran to me. "Wow...what happened to you?" Snicker said, looking at me, top to bottom. My left hind leg had a huge, deep cut in it. Blood covered that leg, and it dragged behind me.
I had a cut across my face, from the right side of my forehead to the left of my chin. Blood dripped from in, staining my fur deep red.
I had a hole from Flower's claw, in my neck. It wasn't deep, but blood still dripped from the wound.
My fur was all fuzzed up, and small sticks and leaves were in it.
"Um..well.. Long-" I began to say, but stopped as I saw Better and Flower walking next to each other.
Flower!?
Flower, as usual, was not paying any attention to this world.
Better guided her to the den, as she kept trying to play with flowers.
"BlueWhiskers? Are you okay?" Snicker asked. I didn't look away from Flower. She looked at me for a few moments, before turning her gaze to a tall pink flower.
"I-i'm...I'm going to go wash myself off in that pond" I said as I noticed a pond. Backstab and Snicker exchanged a look of curiosity, suspicion, and worry.
I limbed to the pond. It was perfectly clean. The sunlight shone brightly over the water, making an orange reflection on the perfectly clear blue water. I walked closer to the pond, until my front paws were almost touching the water. I looked down at my own reflection.
My eyes were red. I had blood staining my fur, that fuzzed everywhere. I blinked at my reflection for a about a minute.
What have I gotten myself into...
I watched myself through the water.
I looked kind of like my father.
But I had the eyes of my Mother.
I slowly put a paw into the cold water.  I walked almost completely inside the water. I started swimming so that way the water would only be up to my neck. I swam for a few minutes in the water. It was so relaxing.
I knew I loved water, but I never realised how relaxing it was.
It relieves all your stress and anxiety.
I took a long breath, before diving completely underneath the water.
There were little gold fish swimming around. I could see there tiny, tiny eggs on the floor. I could see straight up to the sky when I'd look up. The water was so clear, and so fresh.
I doggy paddled with my paws, and good leg. My cuts stung slightly when they first went underneath the water, but then they felt relieved, with the cold, fresh water washing away any infections they might have got.
I sighed in relaxation. Bubbles blew from my nose, and floated right to the top of the pond, then popped. The fish curiously swam around the bubbles.
I gently swam to the top of the pond, until my head was out. I took a gentle long breath, before going back underneath the pond water.
I saw the triplets and Gentle sitting in front of the pond. I could see them almost perfectly through the water. I swam around for a few more minutes, before I relaxed completely, and the water pulled me to the top.
"Ew...how are you doing that..." Better asked. "Yeah, I don't see how cats can possibly like water" Snicker shrugged.
"Its relaxing. You should try it one day" I said in a relaxed tone.
"Uh, no thanks" Better backed away a step. I swam to the edge of the pond, and climbed out of the water.
I shook my fur to get rid of the water that sat on it. "Ew! Stop!" They screamed as the water splashed on them, from my fur. I laughed.
"Sorry about that"
I then turned around and lapped some water. It was so satisfying as moisture finally touched my throat.
