You can't stop forever!

[Mozart the Meerkitten]

Well for now I'll post more.....

“Hey, where are you all off to?” Mozart heard a familiar voice behind her.
“Keep running,” she told the others, “Wait for me at the gate.”

She turned Jak, who was more of a brother to her than an uncle.
“Look Jak we gotta go, ok? Please don’t tell anybody, I don’t want all of Reandalawo coming with us!”

“Where are you going, Mozie? Wait, no let me guess; you’re off to find the little ones, correct?”
“Yeah but we know Tigerclaw isn’t there because…”
“It’s O.K. Mozart, I won’t tell. Now you best be outta here soon, get as far away from Reandalawo as you can afore sunrise, I won’t be able to hold the others off long but I’ll get our siblings to help.”

Mozart smiled and hugged him, “Thanks Jak.” She whispered to him.
Jak blushed but he to was smiling, “Aw all right lil sis, off with ye! And bring them kittens back soon!”

As Mozart skipped away she turned back and waved at Jak, he waved back.
“Bye big brother!” she called.
“Bye little sister.” Jak whispered back as the kits opened the gate and walked out. Then the colossal door closed and Jak lost sight of them.

‘Be safe kits, especially you Mozart.’ He smiled then walked back into the main building.

“Now who are we waiting for? Oh not again my kits. Hmm, where’s Mozart got to?” Jako muttered as he surveyed the council room.
Suddenly Flower came flying into the room, she slid across the floor yelling as she did.
“Mozart an’ the LFF Catlitioooooooon are gooooone!” he father caught her and stared into her face.
“Oh no, now my kits are gone?” wailed Rita, “What is this world coming to!”
“I found this papa,” Flower handed Jako a letter, a message was written eloquently on the white paper sheet.

Dear Reanlawoins,
By the time you find this letter we will be long gone so do not try to pursue us. Myself, Sanga and the LFF Catlition have gone to get Fire, Tansy, Creamy, Pumpkin and little Jako from Tigerclaw. Do not fear for us, we will come back with the kits, hopefully before the first snow rolls in.
Oh and tell mama and Tori not to cry for us. After all they’re warriors and we’re warriors and warriors don’t cry for each other, right?

“We must go after them!” cried Tori “Don’t you see! Now the littlest and the older kits are in danger! We must go after them! Surely you see that now, Jako!”

“It says we shouldn’t try to pursue them right in the letter, Tori, so why should we? Mozart and the others have enough sense to live in the wild, and they’ve got Sanga with them! Who could ask for better protection?” Jak spoke coolly, he was covering for Mozart just as he said her would.
“But…”
“Sanga is a good kit.” Shanti spoke for the first time, “And Mozart and her Catlition are smart and brave, if a little hot-headed! I think we can trust they’ll be fine.” She said, and winked at Jak.

“Let them go, Rita and Tori. Let them go. They’re smart, brave, strong, good, kind… they’re true warriors. Let them go.” Ribbony looked at the two she-cats, then at the others there, “All of you let them go! They will be fine. If he wanted something else to happen the White Cat wouldn’t have put it in their hearts to go. Would you go against his will and interfere with his plan? Let them go.”
Jako stood.

“Ribbony is right, we will let the kits go. They can take the adventure that comes to them, so we will Let them Go.”

Chapter six
The start of a friendship

“C’mon you slaves, move ‘long!” Shady cracked her very own little whip at the slaves as they ran.
Fire glared at her, then looked away trying to drive the feeling of anger from her heart.

Fireheart and her siblings had been tied in a single file line with the other slaves. Fire was first, then Tansy, then Pumpkin, Creamy and last of all Jako. Tansy, the littlest of the five had cried a bit. The kits soon found they were getting tired, they were made to go on though, even when Jako cried out;
“If I don’t stoppa soon my legs will falla off!” but the slave drivers only laugh and struck at them with their whips, sneering and jeering at him.

Claw had questioned Shady closely about what happened in Reandalawo, and his suspicions about needing more troops proved true.
‘As it is those goody two paws creatures will be after me by tomorrow.’ He thought, and correctly too.

*Taps foot impatiantly*

Later when they stopped for the night the slaves were tied to each other with their backs against the trees.
'I wunner if we're still in Freedom Forest?' thought Fireheart.

Little Tansy snuggled between her two brothers who glared fiercely (as fierce as a six week old kitten can look) at anyone who went by. Fire and Pumpkin sat with them. Pumpkin was miserable; her long orange fur was matted and dirty, but she couldn't clean it.

Shady came by with her little whip. She laughed at them, the five kits all tied up in a row.
"Youse in a mess, eh kittens?" she cackled.
"You will be too iffin you calls me a kitten a-gain!" retorted Fire.
"Oh I'm so scared o' the little tied up kitty, what'cha gonna do, eh? What'cha gonna do?" Shady danced around Fire and her siblings, jeering at them and making faces at them.

But when Shady darted forward at them, Fire shot her head out and bit Shady's right paw.
Shady yelped and danced about holding her paw.
"Dats what I gonna do!" hissed Fireheart.

[Zella]

Bad Shady! Go Fire!

[Mozart the Meerkitten]

Shady was both angry and amazed at what had happened. No one had ever stood up to her before! Shady stood there for a moment dumbstruck, then she got up and limped away to nurse her wound.

It was the next morning. Claw knew by now they must be being followed, so he woke everyone before dawn.
"Get up you lazy furballs! Its time to move!"

The slaves, all save Fire and co. cringed when Claw came near them. The kits had gained some confidence from Fire's triumph last night and glared at the evil looking warlord cat.
Creamy spat at Claw and growled, "We getta up when we want to!"
Claw placed his face close to little Creamy's. The kitten did not shrink back.
"If you were any but the spawn of Reandalawo I would kill you now. But I want you to suffer some before this is over!" he hissed.

Hope shook her head and wished she had half the courage the five kits had.
'If I did they wouldn't be here right now....' she thought sadly.

Shady was still a little confused over last nights events and did not use her whip on the slaves. Instead she ran near Fire, watching her, studying her.
"Why you so different?" Shady asked, "Nobody's ever stood up to me afore."
"Den it was 'bout time." Fire hissed back.
"And you norra fraid of Claw?"
"No I faid of Claw, but the White Cat will keepa me safe." Fire whispered back, least anyone hear them talking.
"Da White Cat? Whose he?"
"He keeps us alla safe and knows whats gonna happen to us all. Well he keeps anybody who loves him safe, or so say Mozart, my mentor."
"Oh."
