"Hang on, Ruby. I'm coming."
"Eeeheeehee…eeeeee."
"Get out of here.
Apple wasn't lying about things coming out to get you.
Shuu, Bats. Shuu."
"We'll get you home, Princess. I can promise that."
"And I won't stop till I do."
*Phuuuuueeeeem*
"BURN!!!!!!!!!!"
*Phuuuueeemm…
"Nice try, but you're gonna have to try harder."
*Zerrrrrrrr…..rrrrrooooooooooom.*
"No, no, no, no, no…..Don't turn invisible.
Ruby, I can't see you. Come on. Show yourself. Please."
*Phueeeeeeeem*
"Perfect. Thanks for your shadow, Dragon. Now where are you taking her?"
"I'm taking you home, Natysh; but...where is it?"
"Shirttt…..shiiirttttt."
"What was that? You can't hide from me. I'm a cat and can see all."
"Shirttt…..shirtttt….."
"Rowwww!!!!!"
"You're gonna have to try harder than that, to scare me. I told you, I can see...…..all of you.
Hang on to me tight, Natysh; and get ready to run."
"Phueeeem…..Phuuuu…..Phuuuuuu."
"What's going on?"
"Just close your eyes, Natysh. This is all just a nightmare. Just close your eyes."
"What's chasing us? Are those...Ghosts!!!!!!!"
"Worse.
Shifters."
"Is this Rubys doing? I told her I hated Shifters. She's….wait, how can you hear me, Kitty? Unless...."
"Stay still, Natysh. I'm on your side. Kyle told me to get you home safe, and that's what I aim to do. Now, just clutch to my fur as tight as you can."
"How do I know Kyle didn't put you up to this?"
"You rather hang with the Shifters?"
"No."
"Then trust him, ny trusting me."
"Where even is Kyle?"
"Slow…..down. You're going too fast."
"Whoooooo.....Whooooooo."
"Owls, you're back, but how? Why?"
"Nice to see you too, Kyle."
"So the spell…. is…. wearing off."
"Yes, but imagine our shock when we woke and two of you were gone. Where do you think you were even going? Apple told you to…."
"I know, but we have bigger problems to deal with right now. We need to get Ruby back.
Natysh brought one of her friends and I was distracted by her charm that I didn't…..I couldn't stop it.
Then Dragonfrog showed up and told Dragon to take Ruby away."
"Dragonfrog was here? Natysh? What? Why do you get all the fun?"
".....Cause I'm the oldest."
"We'll focus on rescuing Ruby, you focus on Frog."
"I can rescue Ruby. You don't think I can."
"After what you said, I think it's best."
"But she doesn't even know."
"Too great a risk for you to blab it out."
"Who else is up?"
"You even have to ask?"
"Okay, I'm sorry. Just get me out of here, Kitty."
"I'm running as fast as I can but even I can't….."
*Pow*
"Aaaaaaaaaghhhhh...Hang on, Princess."
*Boof….booof….booof….booof…booooooof.*
"What do they even want?"
"Who are you referring to? They all think we here to damage the woods.."
"Then let me handle this. Once they realize that….."
"No. Let me handle this."
"Oh yea. How is a little cat going to protect me? Why couldn't you be a Panther, or a Leopard, or something fierce."
"I'm not fierce enough?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant that….."
"I think she did mean that."
"WolfGirl!!!!!!!!"
"Pack, drive them back."
"I had this. Not right you having to protect us all the time."
"Sure you had it. What I saw was a cat rolling around in the grass, playing with his ball."
"That's not what...."
"Stay here. I'll handle this.
Awoooooo!!!!!!!"
"Come on, Princess."
"What's with it and none of you following directions?"
