Story:
Emilio crouched low as she scanned the ruins, her ears straining to catch any sound, but the whistle of the wind obscured any sound that a cat in distress might have made.
She let out a huff of annoyance. This whole thing was silly. Looking for cats who may possibly be lost? Cats that she had no connection whatsoever to?
Who knew if they where even out here? Talk about an exercise in futility.
Before she could go on mentally grumbling to herself her ears caught a slight rasp.
All common sense aside, Emilio found her curiosity suffocating and her legs went to obey the urge before her head could convince them otherwise.
Leaping out from the window she had perched in, Emilio landed on the group with a soft thump.
She locked her muscles and listened for the rasping.
It was coming down an alleyway.
A dark, breezy, overgrown with weeds, alleyway.
Well, she had come this far. A little further couldn't hurt her too much.
Well, it could hurt her. A lot. But she was going anyway.
Every muscle spring loaded to run for dear life, Emilio pranced around the opening to the alley, some deep sense of caution warning her to take this slow.
Deep breath in, deep breath out, she was walking into the jungle of weeds and trailing plants.
Deep breath in, deep breath out, she felt her pupils expand to make up for the lack of light.
Deep breath in, deep breath out, the rasping was becoming louder as she walked further.
Deep breath in, deep breath out, she pushed away a thicker mass of greens and literally stumbled over the source of the noise.
It hissed at her in surprise and she nearly went dashing back out of the alley.
"H-Hey!" She managed "You're a cat!"
"Well, duh, what else would I be?" He snapped back at her.
Her only response was to shrug, then tip her head at his conundrum.
He had a small traveling bag strapped to his leg, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the bag was caught against a large sheet of rusty metal.
Every time he tugged at it, the metal rasped, but otherwise refused to move.
"Hey, if you stop moving, I think I can maybe counter balance the metal and get it off your bag."
He tipped his ears back and squinted at her "Worth a try."
