It was light, yet dark at the same time. The small cat was cooped up in the den. Her eyes flicked around frantically, trying to search for an exit.

But there wasn't.

Coiled wire trapped her in every angle. Her face contorted into a mask of fury and fear. But where was her sister? She let out a screech of horror. She couldn't remember.

The cage started shaking violently. She tumbled down, hitting her head on a piece of sharp wire. She cried out as it penetrated her skull. Dark violet spots clouded her vision, but she did not black out.

"Φδερπ νιηωδεας λοθζπρ."

Huh? The words were strange to her ears. They sounded fake, made up.

"Ξεπψκς λρςπεκφ φλελς?" The strange voices were questioning each other, their tones getting louder and louder as the fight escalated.

"Ωδςλ!"

The voice sounded urgent. She lay on the ground, not moving; her head was hurting too much. Suddenly, a large, nut-brown hand unlocked a latch, opened one side of the den and grabbed her, wrapping its long bony fingers around her.

She yowled once again, but the Twoleg didn't seem to listen. The pulled her out and quickly stabbed her with a long, silver stick. She could feel her mind calming down. And finally, sleep came.

"Γιοκτυ χωβερ δσατπ!"

Shouts woke her up—again. Her head felt groggy and unclear. Her eyes were blurry and it felt like her paws were stone. She looked around frantically. "Fiona..." a voice seemed to call her. She stood up at once, hitting her head on a roof.

"Ha, ha! You're new. Who are you?" Fiona turned her head to see a muscular brown tom in a seperate cage next to her own. She raised her hackles in caution. "Fiona. Who are you?!" She unsheathed her claws, but they scraped against the hard metal of the cage.

He chuckled. "Calm down, tiger. I'm Han. And we're trapped in here together."

Fiona looked around the room her cage was in. "Where am I?" she asked Han. She was no longer hostile to this tom, only cautious.

"You're, no, we're in a lab. The No-furs are going to experiment on us. They've already experimented on my brother and a silver she-cat who I'm assuming is your sister." Fiona gasped and yowled angrily. "They took. . . uh . . . hm . . . " Fiona flattened her ears in embarrassment. How had she forgotten her own sister's name?

Han spoke again. "Fianna. That's what she told me her name was. She wanted me to escape with her, as she had found a hole in the wall after the experiment."

"Then how come you didn't go with her?"

"I go solo," Han replied with a dismissing tone.

Fiona nodded and started chasing her tail. "Why are you doing that?" Han asked with an almost amused expression. "I'm bored. What do you think?" She almost instantly stopped chasing her tail. She felt dizzy once more and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Everything became blurry. It was like she didn't remember anything else, but suddenly the scene changed. Han was out of his cage and on a large, white table. A large puddle of urine was around him. The same black human came and impaled him with the same large silver stick.

"No!"
