The Story of Tiberius

Chapter 88

Leaping straight into the air with a mighty yell, the fluffy white Pomeranian launched herself at Ozone, catching him off surprise as she pinned him on his back. Tiberius merely watched with a bored look on his face as she growled, "I'm done playing nice! Where. Is. Max?!" Underneath her with a shocked look written on his face, Ozone meowed, "What-" He was cut off when she slapped him across the face and barked, "Tell me!" Now it was Tiberius's turn to be shocked as the small dog continued slapping the cat.

"What, I-"

Slap.

"I-"

Slap.

"Let me finish-"

Slap.

"Ow!" Ozone cried. Looking over at Tiberius, he yowled, "HELP ME!" He was slapped again. Tiberius could only watch in dead silence, glancing off to his right briefly as the fluffy white Pomeranian continued slapping the sphynx cat across his face and snarling, "Don't look at him, look at me! Nobody can help you! Where is MAX?!"

"Okay okay! He's in the sewers! He was taken please!" Ozone cried, his bright green eyes begging for mercy. Turning his head away from the Pomeranian, he added in a compliment as if he was trying to calm the angry little dog down, "Have mercy, adorable puffy dog." Looking up from the cat breathing heavily from the fierce interrogation session that had just taken place, the Pomeranian gasped in horror. All was silent on the rooftop until Ozone mewed, "Can you let me go please?"

"Oh, sorry," the Pomeranian apologized, hopping off the cat. Tiberius watched, silent as a statue and as still as one too. He hadn't a clue what just happened and he felt like he didn't want to know. Standing up on shaky legs, Ozone gazed at the small dog before him with fear in his eyes. Holding her paw out towards him, the Pomeranian spoke kindly, "No hard feelings?" Backing away slowly, Ozone looked from her face to her paw to her face again. He was shaking like a little leaf in the wind.

Then without any warning, Ozone barged past Tiberius and bolted towards the edge of the rooftop, never once looking back over his shoulders as he took a flying leap. Startled, the hawk rushed over to the edge and watched as the hairless feline plummeted downwards before landing on his feet on the sidewalk. Unfazed by his landing, the cat took off running without missing a beat. Tiberius's jaw dropped in shock.
