CHAPTER 8:

" Brittany, you need to take us into the truck so we can take care of my feet." I told Britt.
" Muse, If they are frost bitten..." Tiger paused, ", we'd hafta go to a... hospital, I think." The words sunk in. If I go to a hospital the doctors would see my tail and ears.[ for those of you who are new, that's bad] If they see my tail, It'll be on the news, then the sharpers would find and kill us. FAER [ code for dang it! pronounced like fay yer]
Brittany took us through the truck door.She lost almost all her energy doing that. Must really take it outta her. I gently slid my shoes off my feet to let Tiger see them.
" Oh my gosh!" He yelled in supprise.
" What?! What?! Are they frost bitten?!" I yelled, obviously scarred.
" You're alright." He said grinning.
" Hate you." I said angrily.
" Okay, just wrap them in shirts and keep 'em warm and they should be fine." He said sounding allmost professional.
"Since when are you a doctor?" I asked, jokeing of course.
" Well, we're safe, for now. Let's stay close to the truck. It's the warmest thing we've got.

cCAHPTER 7:

yThe bitter cold was piercing my nose, I was going to get frost bite if I didn't get warmer soon, but I didn't care. Why? Because Brittany was gone. Lost. Dissappeared.
"Muse, we need to go back to the truck. She's gone there's nothing we can do." Tiger said softly. As if he could actually understand what I was going through. I was supposed to be mom. Leader. Protecter. I had failed. Now she's gone from my life forever.
" Bite me. I still looking! She's not gone! I'm going to find her. If I don't she'll die!" I screamed. Anger and grief swelled over me like a wave. A giant wave no one could escape.
" Come on Chazz. Let's go back to the truck. She'll come when she's ready." Tiger said to Chazz with his hand on his back.
As I watched them walk away tears welled up. I started punching the tree next to me. I kept going at it till my knuckles bled. Then I sat in the cold snow, head on my knees.
"Muse ,Muse , we found her! Muse, she's okay!" Tiger yelled. He was about to make me snap. Then I saw her.
" Muse, I gots a new power! Come watch!" I heard Brittany scream happily. She was really there.
" Brittany! Come here! Come show me here!" I yelled back. " But first gimme a hug, a big hug." I said kind shrill. As I hugged her tears ran down my cheeks.
" Why are ya crying? Are you allright?" Brittany asked. She's so innoscent.
" Why don't you show me your new power?" I asked as I whipped tears from my eyes.
"Okay. Here it goes!" She said happily. Then she walked right through the tree I was punching.
"Wow!" I said. " Can you take people through the stuff you go through?" I asked, hopping she could.
"Yah, but it's kinda hard." She said, still happy and bubbley.
Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to be her.Almost allways happy. I tired to get up.
" Oh crap! I can't get up. Tiger, help me." I nicely ordered.
"Can you feel this?" he asked.
" Feel what?" I asked.
" Oh my gosh, I think you've frost bitten your feet.

CHPTER 6:

"Don't forget your backpacks." I reminded the kittens. So we started off to the middle of the woods. We've been here millions of times, but everything seems ...different. I don't reconize any of these trees. It all looks almost demonic. Only a tiny sliver of moon [ not that it matters since our vision is inhanced by 1,000 times ], evil lurks, I can feel it.
Just then something caught my eye. It was a truck! Never in my life had I thought I would be happy to see a puke-green truck with no tires and peeling paint. But right now, if I wern't in front of the kittens and Tiger I'd probably hug it.
"Hey guys look, a truck!" I exclaimed.
"Wow remind me to be happy later when maybe, oh say, we're not being hunted by mad scientists who want to wipe us off the face of the Earth!" Tiger yelled.
"No see we coud use it for shelter! It would be warmer and it would be a place to sleep!"
"Yah, but youre missing one thing , Muse. You can see from here that it's locked!" he snapped.
Brittany has been pretty quiet for a long time. " Hey britt, you doin' alright? Britt? Brittany?!" I made a turn. Britt wasn't there." Oh my gosh! We lost britt!"

CHAPTER 5:

As we climbed the trees the noise eventually went down.
" Do ya think the're really gone?" Tiger asked, breaking the silence that could drive even the quietest person insane. Ya know those akward silences, well try having one of those for about, oh say two hours!
"I'm cold.'' Brittany whined.
"Did you pack your long sleeved shirts?" I asked.
"Ummmmm." She faded.
"Here, use one of mine." I said as I handed her a shirt from my backpack. We need to make a fire, find some shelter, and find food.
"Let's keep moving, the longer we stay in this tree the colder we'll get." I said. Suddenly it started snowing. Crap!

CHAPTER 4:

" Okay. We made it. But what do we do now?'' Tiger asked.
"We need a plan so if we see them we can escape before they see us.'' I said kinda saying everything I think. " We need some new cloths so we can blend in. And to do that first we need to find money.Then we'll go to a ... what's it called?" I asked kinda embarrased.
" Mall?" Tiger asked. How sad. I'm fourteen and I can't even remember what a mall is called.
"Yah that. We need to go to a mall. But we need to look at the cheapest store." I said.
Just then our super-sensitive cat ears picked up snapping twigs.
" In the trees! Hurry!" I whispered loudly. " We've got company."

CHAPTER 3:

Our little house that kinda reminds me of those made a long time ago. Ya know, dirt floors, no elecricity, blah blah blah. Like only a few seconds after we came into the ''secret place'' the house blew up.'' Oh shhhhhploog.'' I caught myself before I cussed infront of the ''kittens''. [ Chazz and Brittany ]
This place is next, we've godda get out with out with out being seen.
''The back door?'' Tiger asked as if he could read my mind. He'd always been able to do that somehow. It kinda creeps me out sometimes, like right now for instance.
'' Can't be seen or heard. Let's just be ourselves. We're CATS for crying out loud!'' I whispered. TG we wern't seen as we sneaked into the surrounding woods.

CHAPTER 2:

''Muse, what are we gonna do for lunch today?'' Chazz asked.
''I dunno. We could ... um ... well since it's Sunday we could check and see if the church is still serving." I took a wild guess since I had absolutely no idea. Suddenly Tiger came running towards us.
''Britt had a vision. The scientists are comeing! We have to go NOW!'' He said urgently. I could tell that he wasn't kidding. The sharpers were back.
Since I hadn't told you in the last chapter, sharpers are the scientists that made us the way we are. Why do we call then ''sharpers''? It's our secret code we talk in, but most of the time it doesn't make ''almost'' words. Mostly just jibberish.
The worst thing is,[ I haven't told the others this yet so don't blab! ] I think they are our parents. Another wierd thing is they are pretty strong for scientists. It's like, make mutants on Sunday. 25 one hand push-ups on Tuesday. Check mutants on Wednesday. Jog a couple miles Thursday. Check mutants again Friday. 40 crunches Saturday.
''Okay guys just like our plan hurry to the house, get all the cloths you can fit in your backpacks and meet me at the ''secret place''.'' I yelled since everyone was in earshot.
My heart was racing, adrenilin pumped through my veins like, well, I don't know how to explain it. But there was a lot.
