Chapter 1: The new house
I looked at mom, "Hey mama...what did our human say?..." she slowly turned her head to me with a horrid face, "We're moving houses." I looked down at my fluffy paws I stretched out my claws, my looking became staring, it went on for hours as the human packed stuff for us and himself, stared at my claws, once he told us to go, I trotted over to my brother and nudged his flank, "Hey Alex!" Then we left the house, since we were in the middle of the forest no one would find this house, I knew one day we would go back...one day
We hopped into the car and sat in the driver's seat and drove all the way to Enewth town, which was a town small enough for us to get around and big enough for the spread of gossip to continue, well...from what I heard Mama grew up there and the cats there were very gossipy, before a dog chased after her and she was found by our owner of course, once we arrived at a beautiful colored house he opened the door and put a collar with the name, "Sockly" on it, it must've been mama's real name, then he grabbed a collar with the word, 'Missy' on it, but I don't like collars so he struggled to get it on me, but it was a pretty purple Misty color, then there was a collar with the name 'Alex' on it, but he was just fine getting it on, psshht, Mama's boy, I tried not to laugh at my own thought, but little bubbles of laughter came out, Alex and mama stared at me, I stopped and acted serious, the laughter leaving my body, we hopped out the car and our owner put the keys in the door and turned the lock and tried to open it, I pondered, why didn't it open?, then the door's knob twisted and the door opened, then an old lady laughed, "Ohhh! Pilgrim you cammmeee!" I stared as they hugged each other in friendliness, then mama went through their legs, getting the attention, she mouthed to us, Alex looked confused but I know what she said, I whispered in his ear, "She wants us to get into the house unnoticed." He nodded then we scurried into the house, it was like it was in perfect condition, we ran around the house, Alex ran into the room with the couch and I ran into the room with tiles on the floor and I saw a...I don't know how to describe it...chubby cat eating, he stopped eating, I saw a skinny cat scratching a post, then I saw a averagely healthy cat sleeping on the counter, when I walked in they stared at me, the post was skinned out like the skinny cat, "Why you here, mate?" Asked the skinny cat, "Um...our owner is moving here...?" The skinny cat shook his head, "I'm shadow." I nodded, "I can tell, you're black.." "Beware of the cat colony in the basement, don't go into the tunnel in the basement, they live there." Chills ran up my spine thinking of all the cats hissing at me, Missy, a cat who only wants to live a normal life, the healthy cat jumped down, "Hey cutie" he winked, he curled his long tail over my mouth and put his paws on my side. Shadow sighed, "That's Tiger's roar, he's from the cat colony, they're basically cat vampires Satan worshippers." I tried to speak but Tiger's roar shushed me and opened his mouth and I bit his tail, he Yowled in pain he scurried away and looked at his with a bite in it, "Why'd you do that?" He cried, "I'm not easy prey." I hissed, he stayed on the counter from then on staring at me, the chubby cat came up, "Hi Missy, I'm Ginger." He smacked his lips and fell and curled up into a ball in napped, "He calls himself Ginger but he's Ginger's health, he's exiled from the cat colony." Alex ran into the room, he spun me around, I shook my head, "Why are you hiding behind me?" He pointed his tail to the three cats who had the paws on the tile floor, "Sugar! This is our territory! You know the treaty!" Shadow hissed, Sugar hissed, "This cat was on our territory! He's from your side!" Shadow sighed, "He's an outsider." Sugar sat down and smacked her paw onto her eyes, "I am SO sorry!" She apologized, "It's okay." Alex said coming out behind me, "This is Sugar, Plum, and David, from the other side, we have sides, the kitchen is and beyond is mine and the living room and beyond is their's, and as long as we don't step on their territory they don't step on ours, we also agreed never to go in the basement! LIKE EVER." I nodded, "But...you guys are moving out of the house..." Shadow sighed, "We're not her cats, she has a dog in the backyard so be careful where you do your business." I nodded. "They seem nice." He said "They are." Then Alex went back to the living room, "The reason why she put litter boxes in each room is because of the sides thing." I nodded once more, "I'm heading outside." I went to the border of each group, Shadow called to me as I was about to leave, "Oh! Be careful about what you do! Our neighbors across the street are chatty! If you know what I mean!" I nodded, "Yeah! I do!" Then I headed outside, I trotted down the street, I heard chatter about some cat named Henry, it sounded like he died, but that's my father, so I was curious, I saw a gray cat, and that's when I decided to find out who the murderer was, like a murder mystery book, "Hello, I'm Missy, who are you?" "I'm Storm! Nice to meet you!" "Nice to meet you too, Storm, have you seen the murder or the murderer?" He shook his head, "No, I have seen the body, it had golden fur by him, so I think the murderer has golden fur." I nodded as he curled his tail around his paw then I walked passed him, I saw a box with a stand on it, "Get ya paw written stories by Catfin Griffin! Only a pawer! That's write! See what I did there? A pun! My family loves puns! Ya know what?" I walked up to the cat, "Hello." "Huh? Oh! A buyer! Would you like the chase of death? It has most recent gossip of it! How I think the death went!" I stared at him, "You made a book about my father?" His eyes widened, "Oh! You're Henry's kid! Is that you Missy?" I nodded, "That's me!" "Ha! I used to kitten-sit you and can I tell ya a secret?" I nodded he whispered in my ear, "You were always my favorite." then he said normally, "Henry was like my brother, we always made stories about the villain dying, or the love interest dying, we were always the most famous, but since he died I've had a hard time, I've been writing stories about real things, but they haven't been doing like they were." I said, "I'm trying to find out who murdered him, so if you help me, I can let you have access to some other cat who also likes to write stories." He rushed out from behind the stand, "A walk while we?" I nodded then he went beside me and we walked while talking, "So, what did you observe for his body if you saw it?" "Oh yeah I saw it alright, mouth was coming out his mouth, and bugs were flying around him which means no one found him a bit later, there was golden fur in one of his claws, his claws weren't fully out or fully in either so he must've gotten the murderer last minute before he died, some of him was shredded and then scattered, mostly his tail." "Wow you're really good at this!" I complemented, he nodded "Thank you, anything else?" "What was his expression?" "His eye were normal, as if he was ready for death. Tears were stained in his fur." I nodded, "Thank you for your information, the cat who likes to make stories is Alex! If you need the house number it's on my collar." His eyes twinkled like stars, "Thank you! But! I write things real now...I would like to help you with your murder mystery!" I smiled, "Okay...fine you can help Fin." Fin smiled and we walked on
