Take A Look through A Cat's Eyes - Catman

Ch. 11: Meet Again

Wind was blowing around me, almost knocking me off balance by the strength. I looked around and it looked like I was in the eye of a tornado. I looked to the top to see it start to shrink. I coughed from the slight dust flying in the wind. As it shrunk down and disappeared, I saw a figure in front of me.

"Who are you?" I said while taking a step back. I felt the earth crumble under my feet and turned to see a cliff edge. I

"You don't recognize me?" I looked back. It was a man. There was a shadow across his face.

"Come into the light and I might." I sassed while crossing my arms across my stomach. He chuckled.

"You have your mother attitude." My eyebrows raised in question. He looked down then stepped into the light. He looked up and showed his make-up clad face. He was in KISSterian attire.

"No I do not recognize you." He nodded and then the make-up melted away into dust. I got a good look at his face and my jaw dropped. I felt as if the breath was knocked out of me. "Dad..."

"Yes my Little Sprite. It's me. And the fact that you are here means that you opened the music box." He paused and took a step forward. "And got my letter."

"How? Why?" I could not talk. I was so confused. "Why did you leave? I was under Aunt Megan's guardianship when you could have taken care of me! Your daughter!" I exclaimed. He sighed and closed his eyes.

"I know. But you were too young to bring into my world. Especially when you knew nothing of my world and who you were."

"But you could have helped me! When my powers showed up! I told Aunt Megan and she silently called me crazy and took me to specialist. I had to learn in secret and by myself!" I was breathing heavy. "All alone." I whispered.

"I know. I never wanted that. I did not know that your Aunt did that." He came and set his hands on my biceps. He just looked at me. I quickly moved into his chest and hugged him. He chuckled. "It's okay. You will see more of me now."

"Good."

"Now, where are you?" I looked at him in confusion.

"You don't know? The box..."

"Appeared to you when you were ready. I had no control over it." He said.

"Oh. I am at KISS World."

"You are?" I nodded.

"Yes. Me and the gang met KISS awhile back and now are friends." He looked shock. I noticed the wind start to pick up again.

"Are time is up Little Sprite. I will see you soon. Do not let anyone have the amulet unless you trust them with all your being." He stepped back as the wind swirled around me. All of a sudden he was gone and the floor disappeared under me. I screamed as I fell.

I sat up in a shot, breathing heavily. I started to choke and gasp from the shock. I felt a hand set on my back and another grab onto one of my hands. I coughed and hacked trying to get in oxygen. After a few minutes, I finally got my breath and a glass of water was held out to me. I took a few big gulps and slumped back into the chest of the person behind me.

"Feel better?" I heard Starchild say. I looked at him behind me. I nodded and my breathing evened out. I looked around and saw Shag, Scoob, Spaceman, and Star.

"Where are the others?"

"They are out just checking things out." Shag said. I nodded and felt something in my hand. I lifted it and saw the Orange amulet. I closed my hand and held it to my chest. I slowly got up and place the necklace around my neck.

"Are you sure that is a good idea?" Spaceman asked. I nodded.

"Yes. Trust me." I walked over to the window and looked out. I will see you soon. His words echoed in my head.

"What happened?" Shag asked. I was about to answer until a flash happened and Hathor's figure appeared in the window. I backed up.

"Hathor!" I heard Star shout. I looked back at them and then to her. Her gaze fell to the amulet. She gained a sneer on her face.

"I will get that. I will rip it off that pretty little neck." She yelled and was gone with a roar. Just after the window cracked. I turned back to the others.

"What can that necklace do to make her want it so bad?" Spaceman wondered out loud. A flash of green and red reflect in the room followed by an orange-ish one. I heard the wind then howl through the window.

"What?" Shag said. I realized who was here. I darted outside and saw my father with Cat and Demon. I froze as the others came out behind me. "I recognize him."

"That's because he's my dad Shag." I said before running to the man who was already making his way to me. He caught me and held me close. "I've missed you." I whispered.

"And I you my Little Sprite." He said before pulling away. He looked at me then looked around. "I thank you for taking care of my daughter. I may not know how you met but I know how the Guardians are."

"Of course, Whirlwind." Spaceman said. Cat walked up to me and set his hand on the small of my back.

"Jewels helped us along with the rest of the Scooby Gang with the Crimson Witch and the Destroyer." Cat explained. "They were a big reason that we won against them."

"Oh really? That's amazing." He looked at me and I shrugged. "I never knew you were a part of those Earthlings.

"She mostly kept to herself. She got hurt by the witch just before entering KISSteria. On her head." Shag piped in and Scooby nodded.

"Ah. I see now." He nodded in understanding. "Now. There is a reason that that amulet showed up now." He pointed to said piece on my neck. "What is going on?"

"Hathor." Starchild answered, "She has been messing with Jewelie's head and copying her powers."

"Hathor." My father said while looking off. "That little bitch decided to finally make her move." He turned away and I felt the wind turn.

"Dad? What do you mean?"

"She is after the amulet. She has been for a very long time." He explained. "It's my fault she is attacking you." I looked at Cat then back to my dad. I was a little pissed that he would give this to me if he knew a mad woman was after it.

"What exactly does this do?" I said slowly. He turned around to look at me. I raised my eyebrows in question. "Well?"

"It is fairly simple. It is amulet of..."
