"Where have you been? Honestly, I expected you to behave properly when I was gone. I guess I was wrong to assume that you were mature enough to stay by yourself." Deadflower's mother growled.
"I-I'm sorry, mother. I promise I won't do it again." Deadflower sighed in her mind. I'm never going to get out of here... unless mom gets taken away...
"I cannot trust you by yourself, so I must leave you with my best friend. Her rules are a little looser and that doesn't mean she doesn't have rules." her mother explained hurriedly. "I guess you need your punishment." Deadflower braced herself. She was so used to it, but it was always a surprise to her reaction system.
The scratch landed smoothly and Deadflower barely felt it. She wanted to curl up by her mother like a regular 'kit', as Timberstar had called it. But her mother had hated her today so she curled up by a stuffed cat toy.
The morning hit a lot faster than Deadflower thought it would. Before she knew it her mother was walking her to Hope's den.
"Aww, is this her? Your adorable little kitten? We're gonna have a ton of fun!" Hope sniffed Deadflower excitedly. Deadflower liked this cat so far.
"Yes, it's her, and I hope you take GOOD care of her. You give her the proper punishments for a while and then--"
"EEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Hope screeched and took Deadflower to her twoleg's den.
"Bye, mother." Deadflower said with an evil grin on her face. She knew what she had to do. When Hope was asleep, Deadflower would sneak out of her twoleg's den and go find Timberstar again.
Hope looked at Deadflower's evil grin with a confused look on her face. She wondered why she was so happy to have her mother going away, but she ignored it and continued to introduce herself to Deadflower.
The two she-cats walked into the twoleg home. Deadflower could tell that Hope's owners were gone for what they call "work". Hope started walking to the left, and Deadflower followed her. There was a big structure, with the scratchy stuff on it. It was huge and it looked fun to climb.
"That, is the condo. I pretend it's a big tree top and climb it all day long. Inside, there's little toys hanging from the ceiling of some areas. It's really fun." Hope explained, and continued toward the kitchen of the twoleg nest.
"This is where we eat. My twolegs give me fresh cooked fish for dinner, and I usually don't eat it all so you can have my leftovers. They're really good cooks, sometimes I steal their food when they aren't looking." Hope jumped up on the counter and took a little bite of the bread that was up there.
An hour later, and they were done with the tour. It seemed like forever and Deadflower had forgotten everything. They were chasing each other through the big cat condo and climbing up everything. It was fun and Hope's owners finally came home. They saw Deadflower and decided to cook two fish for the cats. Deadflower loved it. She never ate such good food in her life before. She and Hope were tired so they decided to snuggle up together on the highest point of the cat condo.
Deadflower woke up in the middle of the night, overwhelmed by excitement. I know what I have to do, she carefully climbed down the cat condo and ran out the doggy door.
