Twolegs:
"That's it," The young twoleg said softly, as she gently rubbed the calico's head. She smiled and reassured Cinder. "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you."
"Sarah, you best leave that cat alone. It might be sick 'r somethin'." He warned sternly, glancing at the other twoleg man.
"No, Uncle Mat!" Sarah exclaimed to the twoleg man. "And I can't believe you would kick such a sweet kitty!"
She continued to rub Cinder's head, gazing at her happily.
(Insert Cinder's post here.)
The twoleg looked confused as the cat pulled away from her and walked down the dock. "What is it, kitty?" She asked, concerned, and followed the cat on her knees.
Once at the edge, the young twoleg peaked under the dock, which made her dizzy, and spotted a scraggly mess of wet fur bobbing in the water. Fear and pain filled the girl's chest as she just had to help this poor animal!
"Daddy!" She cried, standing up and running over to the other big twoleg. "There's a cat down there! I need your net! It's going to drown!"
"The cat's fine, sweetie." The twoleg told her, as he had turned his attention back to the boat.
"No, Daddy! It's not! Please let me use your net!" She pleaded.
"Fine," he said. "Don't get bit." He pulled the net from the back and handed it to the girl.
The 'Uncle Mat' twoleg was shocked. "You're gonna let'er fish the cat out the sound? Danny, that cat's prolly dead anyway. You don't want the girl gettin' sick and havin' to go to the hospital, do 'ya?"
"Mat, it's fine. She's old enough to know what she's doin'." That was the end of the conversation and 'Mat' muttered something inaudible to himself.
The twolegs continued to clean up their station, and 'Mat' took the tray of cleaned fish toward a twoleg den.
The girl wasted no time running to the edge of the dock, beside the calico. She swung the landing net over the side and extended it toward poor Flicker, trying to scoop her into it, but she was just out of reach.
Rogue Cat | Tom | 40ish Moons | Unclaimed Territory | Fish Place | Cinder, Stray Cats, Petal?
"How pathetic!" The tom spat in Cinder's direction, loud enough for the she-cat to hear. He watched the whole scene.
Flicker | She~Cat | 24 Moons | Loner | Fish Place, in the water | none right now
Exhausted, Flicker finally let out another cry for help when she heard her sister's mew. The soaken tortoiseshell looked up at the dock to see a twoleg looking down at her. Flicker was fearful, and tried attaching herself to the poles, but they cut her paw pads, and were too slippery.
She had nothing to grip, and she was losing stamina. She would go under soon, but Flicker trusted her sister with her life.
Suddenly, the twoleg reappeared and held out a long stick with something at the end. Flicker was so scared, but maybe the twoleg was helping. She let out another cry, unsure of what she should do.
