The One Life War

Chapter 7 - The Cats Hear Things

"Lizzie... I think some of our members may be plotting against us." Midnight informed the pink haired girl.

"Really?"

"The cats have been hearing things..."

"Which members?" Lizzie asked.

"Stacy and Yammy."

"I see... Are you sure?"

"The cats have been hearing things..."

"Is that all?"

"No... Joel... He might be in cahoots with the enemy as well." There was a sort of sadness to the cat's voice. Little did Lizzie know how much of an act it all was.

"J-Joel?"

"He thinks you are spending too much time with us. We heard he might... Take away the internet."

"Joel would never do that. He loves me. He would never-"

Suddenly Lizzie found herself kicked from the server.

She quickly joined again.

"It's begun..." Midnight told her.

"I-I can't trust anyone..." Lizzie whimpered. "Not my best friend, not my boyfriend... Not anyone..."

"You can trust me." Midnight told the girl. "And you can trust Joey. Joey would never betray you. He is what got you to us in the first place." Midnight began waving her tail back and forth in front of Lizzie in a hypnotic way.

"Y-you're right. Joey won't betray me, and you won't either... I can only trust Joey..."

"I'm going to go check in on the other cats." Midnight stood up and hopped off of Lizzie's lap. "I'll be back soon. Remember, don't trust anyone except for me and Joey."

Midnight joined Joey outside the throne room.

"So, how'd it go?" He asked.

"She won't trust anyone but us now."

"Perfect. Thank you for your assistance."

"Of course, my king." Midnight strut off to get the reports from her fellow cats.

"We are flooding her throne room?" Britt asked.

"Isn't it genius?!" Shelby exclaimed.

"Oh it's something all right." Britt responded.

"We have to be quick! Lizzie won't be offline for long! She's probably just going to the bathroom." Shelby rushed the two other girls along.

"I have a lot of water." Mariel told them, holding a backpack.

"Let's do this."

They had barely even begun before they were caught.

"What are you doing?" Yammy asked.

"Ahh!" The girls screamed, not realizing she had entered their voice chat.

"Oh! Hi, Yammy! We're... nothing!" Britt quickly hid her bucket. Mariel and Shelby followed suit.

"And I suppose I'm meant to ignore the giant pool of water forming in Lizzie's castle now, right?"

"If you could, that would be great." Mariel nodded.

Yammy groaned in annoyance. She couldn't believe she was about to do this. "Look, I'll pretend not to have seen anything, so long as you assure us safe passage to Scott's base."

"What?!" Shelby exclaimed.

"Why?" Mariel questioned.

"Us?" Britt pointed out, after all, there was only one Yammy.
