Chapter Forty Seven

Sammi's Point Of View

"Think think think." I paced my cell back and forth. Back and forth.

Jameson's sniffles and slight sobs kept clouding my head.

My nose twitched with irritation and I felt my tail go stiff. "Think, calm, think, calm, think calm." I reminded myself.

Jameson let out a loud sob.

"Jameson!" I shouted, banging on the box. "Shut up!"

He stared at me with wide, fearful eyes, tears streaming down his face. His lip trembled, but not a sound was heard.

I turned on my heel and continued to pace back and forth.

"Jameson." Nalla whispered. "Come over here."

I could hear Jameson get up and sit beside the clear wall between him and Nalla.

I stopped walking to watch.

"Jameson, I swear on my life that you're going to get out of here. You'll see the sun and moon again. And I'll make sure you see the stars." Nalla curled her fingers through the holes of the wall. Jameson placed his hand on top of Nalla's fingers. "And I'll buy you whatever video game you want, and make you all of your favorite food."

I turned away and sat on the floor, my head in my hands.

"Don't promise him lies, Nalla." I spoke, closing my eyes.

Lyla's Point Of View

"What happened?" I asked Daniel. "There were all of these guns and gas and just chaos."

"We have been tracking the guys who attacked you for a long time." Daniel sat down on the chair positioned beside my bed. "Luckily, we came just in time before you and the others were all knocked out. The liquid inside of you was illegal and we didn't want you guys to be arrested for illegal substance in your body. So we took you guys to our facility for you guys to recover."

"Where are they at?" I sat up a little bit more. "I would like to see them."

Daniel paused and gave me a sad look. "I can't do that."

"What do you mean?"

"They ran away."

Peter's Point Of View

"Lyla is alright." I promised myself, my eyes shut as I laid on my back. "She's, she's," I opened my eyes. "She's not strong."

"Yes she is." Nalla sat up from her cage, keeping her fingers through the hole so Jameson would still feel them and wouldn't awake from his sleep. "She is a lot stronger than you think."

"Are you sure?" Ben said just loud enough so we could all hear him. "She wanted to kill herself because she couldn't handle the world any more."

"After what she went through, wouldn't you want to die too?" Sammi defended our owner, glancing over at Ben before looking at me. "She's fierce, she'll be okay."

"She can take care of herself until we can get to her." Nalla added, smiling slightly from her containment. "We will get out and Lyla will watch movies with us at home. Everything will go back to normal."

We heard multiple beeps come from outside the door.

"Get up." Nalla hissed to Jameson, waking him from his slumber.

I did the same with the sleeping Elisa beside the wall that separated us. I heard Ben wake up Nick.

The door swung open and I was blinded by the light.

"Which cat?" A gruff voice walked between our cages, the figure's face still concealed by the shadows.

"That one." Daniel sneered as he stopped in front of Elisa's cage.

"Daniel." Elisa growled, her yellow eyes shining.

"Hello Kitty." Daniel threw something. I only saw the flash of silver.

Elisa's scream confirmed my thoughts.

It was a knife.

Lyla's Point Of View

"This doesn't add up." I bit my lip as I twisted every one of the rings the boys had so generously gifted me. "Sammi said they were loyal that night at the bar. They gave up their free time to work jobs for money to support us. Nick shared his darkest fear with me and Jameson is practically attached to me. Elisa saved me when those guys attacked me in the alley when she could have run away. Peter always tries to help out and reminds me to take my pills. Nalla is always doing everything for me, like a sister, keeping me safe and making food when she can. And Ben does everything in his power to keep me happy." I frowned. "They would never just leave."

I looked at the notebook Daniel had left on accident when someone told him 'it was time' Whatever that means.

I grabbed it and flipped open the pages.

"What the-?" I read the first couple of pages.

"Oh my gosh." I flipped to a calendar.

"No no no no no no no." I dropped the notebook.

"I, I need to." I looked down at the IVs in my arm.

What if they really did run away. Then what are you gonna do? Beg for mercy?

"Happy Birthday Lyla!" The boys held out a clearly homemade cake.

"We love you!" They cheered. -

I ripped the IVs out of my arm

Author's Note

By the way, this is how the cages are set up.

Door

Nalla. Nick

Jameson. Ben

Peter. Sammi

Elisa.

They all have a really strong material that you can see through and it has holes in them so they can breathe. (I don't have bars because if they transform, most of them can escape. There is a pathway vertically.)
