Chapter 7
"Who are you?" I ask the cheetah sitting in the room. He looks up at me from where he's sitting on his pillow bed. He gets off of the bed and walks over to where we're standing in the doorway, Gold towering behind us.
"I am Spots. I'm the queen's royal advisor. Or at least I was," he says. He sits down in front of us and I stare at the cheetah in shock. Well, at least I know I'm not crazy and that talking animals are actually a thing. I punch myself on the arm and i hear Spots grumble.
"Where did they go? " I ask Spots. He shrugs and walks over to the window in the corner of the room. As he gets there, I notice as he leaps up that he's putting a lot more weight onto his right paw. He curls up on the huge windowsill and looks over at us lazily.
"You're her royal advisor! Of course you know where they went!" Gold growls from behind me and Bree. I walk into the room, looking around and picking some stuff up. There aren't any books but there's a podium like thing in the center of this room, as there was with every other room.
"I can help you with your paw," I mention as I pick a piece of client off of the floor and throw it outside of the room. Bree looks over at me and then back at Spots. At my statement he lifted his head to look up at me in awe.
" Okay. I'll tell you where they went. But please help me, " he says. I nod and tell him to wait with Bree while I walk downstairs with Gold to get some stuff. We walk downstairs, Gold still seeming a little mad about Spots.
I softly pay her on the head as we get to the bottom floor. I walk into a what I'm guessing is a small medic's room and take out some gauze, tweezers, and pain relievers. I grab a first aid kit along with that and walk back upstairs with Gold.
We walk into the room and I see Spots and Bree talking about something an laughing. I walk over to where Spots is and I gently take their paw, looking over the wound. They stepped on something a while ago and it's stuck in their foot.
"I'm going to have to pull something out of your foot," I say, reaching over and taking the tweezers out of the first aid kit. Spots skunks back and holds his foot closer to himself, shaking his head no. I sigh and look up at him.
"The only way it will feel better is if we take the thing in your foot out," I tell him. He reluctantly stretches his paw out to me and I quickly pull the thing out of his paw. He growls in pain but otherwise he seems perfectly fine.
"Okay, this may sting a little," I say. I pour some of the stuff onto a cotton wipe and wipe his paw off. He growls again but he doesn't say anything to stop me. I take the gauze out of the first aid kit and wrap it around his paw, making sure that it won't come off when he walks around.
"There you go! Also, take one of these a day" I tell him, handing him the bottle of pain killers. He nods and opens the bottle with this teeth, spilling the bottle into a bowl and dry swallowing one of the pills. He looks over at me and smiles, sitting up on the window sill.
"Now you need to fulfill your part of the deal," Bree reminds him. He nods and walks to the middle of the room where the podium thing is. He places his right paw on it and a holographic map shows up. He draws a line from this planet to one of the other ones, showing how far away they are.
"This is where they said they were going next. I got left behind because I was too slow," he says, pointing at one of the planet's on the map. He brings up a few pictures of the map, letting Gold look at them so she can take us there.
"Just so you know, the farther you're going, the more running you need to do before you teleport," he tells Gold. She nods at him and goes back to studying the pictures..
"Thank you for all your help," I say to him as we walk out of the room. He nods and sits down on the floor sadly. I look over at Gold and she nods, walking over to where Spots is sitting. She lightly pats him on the head with one of her paws, almost like she's ruffling his hair.
"When we find the queen, I'll make sure to come and get you," she says to Spots. Spots looks up at her and nods happily. She walks back over to us and we walk out of the doorway and back downstairs. I grab the cat toy out of the bag and see that it's starting to have more of a greenish hue.
I show it to Bree and Good and their faces light up. I put it back in the bag as we walk out of the door of the palace. Gold lays down and I get on the front saddle seat, helping Bree up and turning back to face forward.
As Gold starts to take off, I turn around and wave, hoping that Spots sees it through the window. I turn back as Gold starts into a run, holding onto the handle. The yellow light comes back, softly surrounding us, and making it hard for me to see.
It fully surrounds us and I can't see a thing for a minute. Gold stops in the new place and I blink a few times, trying to get my eyes adjusted to the light. When they finally adjust I'm shocked as I see the crowd of birds walking around in what seems to be a market.
