Seeing those two snake cats dead was a little unnerving. Quite a bit unnerving actually. Imagine having your worst enemy right in front of you and being all scared and shaky. Now imagine that they died. That was the part that confused me.
I had thought the snake cats were the enemy- the one to be scared of and the one to hide from.
But I didn't think that the snake cats were so cruel that they would purposefully kill each other and definitely did not think the giant yellow eye had came from one.
I ran through the forest looking straight ahead and tried not to see anything odd, but that was impossible. Branches lay around everywhere and so many leaves had been shook onto the ground it looked like it was already fall...

That was when a big burly creature jumped out of a tree on top of me and knocked me out.

When I started to awake, my vision was blurry and I had to strain to hear anything.
"Hello?" I coughed.

"She's awake!" A voice yapped. I heard banging and clattering and suddenly a small fuzzy thing was sitting in front of me. It was a dog.

"Where am I now?" I groaned.

"Oh, I don't know! I think we got kidnapped by extremely grumpy birds with ugly fox faces or something!" She yipped.

"Oh, great. I totally love being kidnapped and put into random caves with dogs." I muttered sarcastically.

"I know right! I love it! It's so exciting! I love adventures!"

"Good for you. Can you be useful and get me someone... Um, older to talk to?"

The puppy looked at me disdainfully and then barked. "Yah, ok! I love to help," And ran off again.

When the little dog came back she was followed with a grumpy looking larger dog. It had pointy ears and a black and tan body. It's stumpy tail sat still on its rump. The scruffy tiny dog yapped. "I told you I'd help!"
The older dog just sat there.

"Hi." I offered.

"Go away, Yip-yap." The pointy eared dog growled.

"Oh... I was hoping to meet the cat with you." The puppy woofed.

"What did I just say? If I wanted you to stay, I wouldn't tell you to go away!" Pointy-ears reasoned.

I watched as the puppy looked at me with sad, pouty eyes. Pointy-ears snarled and made her run away.

"Sorry about Yip-yap." Pointy-ears said, apologetically.

"It's fine." I muttered.

"I'm assuming you're Blaze? The cat who came in yesterday?"

That froze me for a second. How did he know my name?
"Uh, I'm assuming I came in yesterday. how did you know that?" I questioned.

"I know some things others do not. It's fine, I won't hurt you."

"What is your name?" I mewed with slit eyes. "And don't tell me something like, 'oh, sorry I can't tell you, it's top secret.'"

"My name is Horus." He chuckled. "And don't worry, we're not that top secret."

"Well that's a relief!" I mewed.

"So, what did you need?" He barked.

"I was wondering where we are... and why we're here, you know. All the questions. Who, when, where, what, why and how."

"Well, we're in a cave and I'm assuming it's near that clearing where cat keep appearing to because a lot of cats have been turning up."

"Go on..."

"How and who? Those bats will carry you in groups of you're to heavy. And I don't know who's making them do it. I'm stuck on that."

"Why?"

"I really don't know the rest of your questions. I don't know why they'd want to take us. It's not like we're helpful to them."

"Well then, I have one more question. How long have you been here?"

"Four years, Blaze. There's no escape. We're stuck here."
And with that, Horus left.
