Cats and Dogs (unedited version)

Chapter 7: Life Sucks and then You Die

Hi all!!! I tried to upload within 2 weeks of the last one, and I'm sorry it's late!!!

Anywho, there's a new POV that I think is probably shit - sorry!! I don't like writing in different POVs if I haven't before because it messes with my OCD when it comes to the structure of my story.

I also want to say - sorry for having to make something happen so that I didn't have to explain what the doctors did, it's just that I don't know a fucking thing about hospitals, that's why most of my characters when they're injured pass out.

I also want to apologise for how short it is, but I wanted to upload - the next chapter will be up soon! (I hope!)

And please VOTE. COMMENT and FAN!!!! (If you'd like :D)

Jade:

I couldn't believe Rachel! She was Kira's god damned sister! Ugh! It was the look in Kira's eyes as she passed me, it was the look I only saw when she was about to do something that she'd likely regret.

She was in the process of breaking down.

I knew where she'd be - the clearing in the woods where we - me, her and Dawn - would play when we were younger, it was where she always went when she was upset.

As I sprinted after her, half following her scent and half following my gut, I noticed the rest of the clowder in quick pursuit.

As her scent became stronger, I noticed the scent of fresh blood in the air - it was hers. Running towards the source, I saw her curled up, crying her eyes out, with blood staining her arms.

I wanted to kill Rachel - so fucking much. I'm planning on kicking her arse as soon as Kira was alright.

"Kira!?" I shouted as I ran towards her. "You idiot, you shouldn't listen to her, she's just jealous because she's not queen!" at least, that's what I hoped.

"It's my fault!" she yelled, looking like she'd let something out that she'd wanted to for a while. "It's my fault..."

"Kira, it's not your fault, you weren't even there for the beginning of the fight, you were at school," a Robert said as he neared us.

"It's still my fault though," she whispered, it broke my heart.

"Let the guilt go Kira, it wasn't your fault, Rachel's just upset, she says stupid things when she's upset - you know that more than most," Jamie said joining Robert and I as we attempted to make her feel better. She suddenly became worse than she already was, I knew what she was thinking about - there was that look in her eyes that she always got when she thought about her deceased family.

"Stop those thoughts now missy," I told her.

"What!? Is my block back down?" she panicked, and I suddenly hated myself for saying that.

"No, it's just I could tell what you were thinking K."

"Oh," she mouthed, but no noise came out.

"Come on, let's get that arm cleaned up," I helped her stand, and then had to support her weight as we walked home.

"I can't wait 'til she finds her mate, he'll do a world of good for her," someone said as we walked past them, I only hoped Kira didn't hear, but from the look on her face she had.

Kira:

As we neared the cluster of houses owned by the clowder, I could make out the red hair of the identical twin doctors who had been my mum's best friends since they were in nappies.

They both ran towards my limp body and the shifters behind me. "Kira!" Debbie scolded as her sister checked my scars.

"They're clean, but I think you've nicked a vein, let's get you inside," Becky told me as Jade and I followed them through the house into the "hospital". It was basically a white room with some medical equipment. There wasn't a bed because most people lived in the close vicinity of the main house, and the few who didn't could sleep in one of the many spare rooms.

I sat in one of the chairs, and placed my wrist on the table. I could see the clowder in my head, they were gathered outside - nice to know they cared.

"Where's Rachel?" I asked when I couldn't contact her mind, usually I could get past anyone's mental block but due to the blood loss, I couldn't.

"No one's seen her," Robert replied, as Jamie and Jade shook their heads.

"I didn't expect anyone to have, she knows I've already kicked out one bitch today," I said as strongly as I could, but my voice cracked because of the amount I'd cried.

"You wouldn't, would you?" Jamie asked quietly from the corner, "I mean, she's our sister."

I suddenly felt another wave of guilt eat up at me, I'd pretty much just said that I wanted to kick out my own sister. "Shit... NO! 'Course not!" I yelled as the tears threatened to fall.

"Kira... stop talking, you're just going to end up feeling worse," Robert spoke up for the first time since the woods, I could tell he felt guilty for my depression - he had promised my Dad to look after me.

Shit. Another person to add to the never-ending list of people I've hurt.

"Sorry," Jamie said, becoming very interested in the floor.

"Don't be, it was my fault," which just pissed me off even more!

"Why does everyone keep on agreeing with everything I say!?" I yelled as I stood up. However, due to a whorish male wolf, I was forced to grip in desk in pain.

I wanted to scream.

I wanted to cry.

But the world thought I was depressed enough already, so I held it in.

"Kira!" multiple voices yelled, but I couldn't pick out any that I recognised - they all just blurred into one ferocious roar.

************************

I don't really remember much else - I didn't exactly black out, but I did seriously space out. I remember being led to the sofa, and someone wrapping my arm, everything else was lost in the void.

I am now sat a table surrounded by the majority of the adults in my clowder, debating how I should answer their questions "what the hell happened?" and "was it your mate?", they were coming from practically all of the mouths in the room, and the majority weren't in pleasant tones.

"SHUT IT!" I yelled as I made up my mind. "Yes, my mate is a freaking man-slag. Yes, that was me feeling him getting hot and intimate with someone else. And no, he is unaware of our mated-ness," I said with as little emotion as possible. However, due to my earlier emotional breakdown and earlier events caused by my mate's lifestyle - I think I may have kinda failed... epically...
