bars and managed to squeeze out. I let them pet my brown fur and I purred. Derrick reached to grab me and I unsheathed my claws and clawed his hand.
I ran to the stairs and turned I managed to blast the cage apart with my mind like Alura taught me, but all my strength died. I fell down in cat form on the stair. Duress grabbed the kids and Derrick grabbed me. I saw Emily’s surprised face and I felt tears build up in my kitty eyes.
Sapphire got angry when Derrick grabbed my neck. “Unsheathe them again see how many lives you have,” he growled.
Duress fell to the ground pain on his face. Emily and Sapphire stood there. Sapphire’s skin was a light pink. Derrick tried to absorb their power, but instead power went to Emily. I watched in shock. I saw Jake also was watching in shock. They both ran at him and he jumped when Sapphire’s skin hit his. Sapphire caught me and I felt like I was on fire. I jumped off meowing in pain.
“I don’t want to be cooked,” I said.
“Sorry,” she said. I bite Derrick and he growled in pain. He punched me away and Emily attacked him. I ran to Jake’s cell and unsheathed a claw and picked the lock. He got out and picked me up. I turned human and hugged him.
He tipped me and my whistle fell out. I grabbed for it, but he got it first. “Mine now,” he said.
“You didn’t save the leader,” I said trying to grab it from him giggling.
“You’ll have to kiss me for it,” he whispered.
“That’s all?” I asked. I kissed him not waiting for a answer.
“Eww!!” Emily yelled.
We stopped kissing. “Oh, come on its natural you’ll do that sooner or later,” Sapphire said nudging her playfully.
“Eww boys are weird! No offense!” she said.
Jake chuckled. Derrick was on the floor dead and so was Duress. We started walking. I tried to get down, but Jake wouldn’t let me. “Can’t take a chance at losing you,” he said when we got ready to teleport.
“Ow!” Emily yelled after holding her sister’s hand.
“I think there might be an oven mitt in the house. I’ll get it,” I said jumping down running into a wooden place. I went to the kitchen. I found the door opened. I searched a drawn and found a oven mitt. I ran out listening for sounds of life. I ran down the hall that seemed to of took forever. Jake was looking at me from outside. I threw the oven mitt out and Emily caught it.
I was at the door when it slammed shut.
They Don’t Understand Death
Hands grabbed my shoulders. I screamed as I was roughly pulled back. I hit the floor and I saw Derrick and Duress looking down at me anger on their faces. “Don’t you guys know how to die?!” I asked.
“Die isn’t in my vocabulary. How bout you brother?” Derrick said.
“Never heard of it,” he whispered his eyes burned into mine.
Derrick’s red hand grabbed my arm and Duress grabbed my arm with his blue hand. I gulped. I heard banging on the door.
Suddenly pain shot through me. I screamed loudly I felt my life draining away.

I stood there shocked listening to the loud screams. Suddenly it stopped. “Derrick! You weren’t suppose to kill her!” Duress yelled. We all froze.
“Well sorry!” Derrick yelled.
There was a pause. “She won’t come back to life!” Duress yelled frantically.
“Through her outside!” Derrick yelled.
The door opened and Amy’s lifeless body was thrown out. I caught it and the door slammed shut. Her eyes stared at me blankly and lifelessly. I felt her cold arm. I felt hot tears run down my cheeks. I grabbed Emily’s hand and she grabbed her sister’s hand with the oven mitt. We teleported to the meadow.
We walked to the house in silence I was in front holding Amy’s lifeless body. We got to the door. Luna opened it up and gasped in horror at Amy’s limp lifeless body. Luna let us in looking at Emily and Sapphire suspiciously. Luna’s arm hit Sapphires and she jumped in pain feeling the burn on her arm.
“Sorry, I don’t know how to stop it,” she said.
Jane came out and looked at her. “Try to concentrate in having normal skin,” she said.
Sapphire laughed happily. I went to my room with Amy’s body. The news of her death traveled like wild fire. First Anna came in and hugged me and tried to revive her, but she failed. Then Alura came in and cried hugging me tightly trying to revive her like Anna, but same results. Jane came in sobbing sadly. “I’m sorry,” Jane whispered trying the same thing and yet they all failed. Emily and Sapphire came in tears rolling down there cheeks. They cried harder seeing the dead body.
Finally Luna came in. Her eyes were bloodshot. She looked cried out. She sat next to me and hugged me. “I’m sorry brother,” she whispered.
“Its okay Luna,” I whispered my voice shaking.

I looked at Jake he looked cried out like I was. I couldn’t believe Amy was staring lifelessly at the ceiling. I heard Emily attack Jane. I could hear Emily’s battle cry and Jane’s shriek.
“Go Emily!” Sapphire yelled.
“Go Jane!” Alura yelled.
I wandered how they were able to be happy at the moment. I sighed giving my brother another comforting hug. I knew how he felt. He had been having dreams about Amy for two years before they met. I remembered following him to were his memory brought him. I remember looking at the house from on top of the hill.
I remembered trying to convince him to going down there. I remembered looking in the window at Amy being yelled at and working hard. How Jake couldn’t go down there so afraid to see her that she would see him and hate him. I sighed and got up to leave him alone.
I saw Emily pinned Jane down. They didn’t look happy, but it looked like they were trying to be happy. To act like nothing was wrong. I went to bed and when I woke up I heard a noise in Jake’s room. I went over there quickly somewhat scared. I saw the window, we put in recently, was opened. I turned the light on and saw the note.
“Dear Someone,
I cannot live without Amy. Stay happy, stay alive. I buried her body so you don’t have to worry. I can’t sleep at night all I hear is her screams I heard when she got trapped in Duress‘s house. I can’t get the imagines of pain she must of felt out of my head. So by the time you read this I will long dead. Good bye.
Jake”
I looked in horror at the paper. Then without realizing it I jumped out the window. I ran out not even knowing where I was going. All I knew was I had to save him from killing himself and at that time I was glad the only thing I was better at was being faster.
The Plan
I looked at the wall. I was sad Derrick’s plan worked. I was sad they tricked them into thinking I was dead. I sighed in a small cage. I was drained every hour on the hour. They kissed me every ten minutes. Which was different from the time I was drained. They made it so it wouldn’t be the same time. I looked at the time. It said it was three forty-four. One minute until my regular kiss.
I sighed. They both took turns. They kissed me for five minutes and they took turns. One time Derrick would kiss me. The next time Duress would. I sighed. The alarm went off. Saying it was three forty-five in the morning. I was tired, but they wouldn’t let me sleep.
The door opened. Derrick kissed me last time and Duress came in. he clicked the clock on snooze so he knew when his turn to kiss me was over. He opened the cage and pulled me out. He slammed me into the wall near the door.
He kissed me over and over. He got mad when the alarm went off. He hit the snooze after he shoved me in the cage. I started getting really tired. I drifted to sleep and when I woke up I was being slammed against the door again.
Dazed and drowsy I looked at Derrick. I couldn’t feel the kiss I was still half asleep. I heard the alarm clock went off and he hit the snooze. I woke up completely when he absorbed my energy. He got mad when he realized I didn’t have much.
He dropped me to the ground and it seemed like when I hit the ground I went out. I woke up being pushed. I woke up. I saw Duress looking at me. I looked at the time. Eight fifteen. I stretched tiredly. Even at Ruby’s I got about six to seven hours.
Duress’ eyes were calm. He stroked my hair softly. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.
“For?” I asked sleepily.
“For all this. You deserve better then this. I know that, but that’s another problem. I love you and I don’t want you to go, but I know I how to.” he kissed me.

I growled in frustration. I looked at Luna as she had vines around me. I couldn’t believe she saw my note already. Mostly I can’t believe she found me. We were standing in a cave. I was going to shot myself before she came in and stop me.
“Let me go,” I growled.
“No,” she said. “I’m sorry, but just because Amy’s dead doesn’t mean you go off and kill yourself.”
“Yes it does.”
“No it doesn’t!” Luna yelled getting frustrated.
I rolled my eyes angrily. She used the vines and started taking me back home.

The clock said it was eight twenty five when Derrick came in. Duress got up and dropped me on the floor. Derrick walked over and grabbed my arm. Sleepily I looked at him. I was half awake before pain went through me. I growled in pain.
“Maybe I should go to Jake now and kill him,” he whispered in my ear.
I gulped. “No,” I said.
“Why? He might supply me with more power then you.”
“Don’t hurt him.”
“Have more power and I wont.”
He kissed me and pain shot through me again. His absorbed my power through every kiss.
I wanted to struggle, but I felt weaker and weaker. He dropped me to the ground and locked me up. A few minutes later Duress came in. He had a vial with some kind of liquid, white hair dye, and fake blood.
“Drink it’ll give you energy,” he said. I drank it like he told me and I felt my energy returning. “Now turn into a cat.” I obeyed. He unlocked the gate and made a clone in the cell. He put fake blood on my paws and he cut the clone so real blood came out.
He dyed me white and whispered in my ear. “I will yell and you act like a evil cat. I will have to take you outside away from here. Then you’ll be free.”
I nodded and he locked the cage door the clone looked at me frightened to help the real me escape. I hissed and he grabbed me. “Bad kitty! You shouldn’t come in here and hurt Amy!”
Derrick ran down and gasped at the cuts the clone had in the cage. I hissed and
