Kitty Ch. 3
Chapter 3
The New World.
Kira stepped away from the portal's entrance and looked around. Everything was so new to her, and she had no clue of where to go next.
She looked behind her and saw that the portal was still open for a few seconds before it closed behind her. Taking the portal out of her mind and focusing on Kitty, she began to walk out from the alley she was in and out into the street. She looked around and saw something she not was use to see.
"Where the hell am I?" she wondered to herself. She could observe a lot of humans walk past her without even looking at her.
She continued walking for a few minutes, yet she still didn't have a vague idea of where to go, so she decided to ask some people if they had seen kitty; however, every time she tried to ask someone, they simply ignored her and walked even faster just to get away from her.
It was then that she reached the conclusion that she was not one of them, since no one had said anything to her yet. Then she suddenly remembered something and guessed that no one knew anything of the furry world.
The white wolf then saw a costume shop and remembered overhearing something about Halloween where everyone dressed in funny clothing. In her mind, she figured that the humans might have thought that she was just dressed in a costume.
She entered the shop to ask for directions to 45 Rose Street, and the man behind the desk told her it wasn't that far from the shop; only several blocks away, to be exact.
Kira said thanks and began to walk up toward Rose Street.
Meanwhile, in the furry world, Jessica had heard the news and ran over to the location of where Kira was last seen and wanted to know if Kira was all right.
"Kira is not longer in this world," a male wolf said to her. "She's in the human world now to get her daughter back, I have heard." Jessica looked terrified at the wolf man and then ran to where the portal was. Luckily for her, it was still open, so she entered the portal and shortly enough, she was in the human world.
Jessica looked around and, like Kira, received a shock when she noticed the humans.
She then looked down at herself and thought it was weird for none of the humans not saying a word, so she figured that no one knew of their world, and she did the same thing Kira did by going to the costume shop to ask if the store's owner had seen a person in fur this day.
"Yes, I have," the owner of the store said. "I may say, for some hours ago, she was here to ask about Rose Street. If you are looking for her, then that's the way you shall go." Jessica thanked the man and went after Kira.
Kira had finally found the 45 Rose Street residence she was looking for and went up to the house. She looked through a window and saw Kitty laying on the floor on a soft blanket. She could also see a human couple in the house keeping watching over kitty if she should try running away.
Kira thought to herself about how she could get Kitty back from this crazy world and return home with her. She decided to wait until nightfall without doing anything, so she hid in an alley not too far away from the house. When she went over to the alley, she quickly saw Jessica come running toward her and asked why she was here...
"Oh, Kira!" Jessica said with relief in finding her good friend. "I have been worried about you, so I got here as fast as I can to help you get Kitty back. And damn, this world is a weird place. All those humans; they look really stupid, if you ask me." Jessica said all this in a small voice while trying to catch her breath back after all that running she did.
"Well, we have to wait until its gets dark," Kira said with nervousness in her voice. "If we do anything now, everything will go wrong, and then we not able to getting kitty back at all."
The vixen agreed, and they both waited until the darkness of the night was over them.
"Okay, let's try to get her back now," Kira said quietly.
They both went to the house and tried to open the door, but it was locked.
"What do we do now?" Jessica asked.
Kira had to think about how to get at the lock and then explained her initial plan. "Well, I can pick at the lock if I remember how to do that. After all, I forget my keys to my apartment lots of times." Jessica smiled, liking the idea.
Kira activated her plan, and she got the lock to unlock. "Okay, we are in now." They started to jimmy open the door, but the alarm system became active, so they had to run away before anyone saw them.
Once they both reached for safety, Kira said with relief, "Phew, I'm glad no one saw us. I think we have to be more careful here; they have other technology than what we use." Jessica just looked at Kira and had nothing to comment.
They walked for some hours in this new world and looked around at everything they could see.
After a while they went back to the house to get Kitty out, but this time, they didn't plan on running if the alarm went off again; they planned to just dash inside, grab Kitty, run out with her and back to their own world.
They went up to the house again and opened the door, but something happened differently this time: the alarm system didn't go off. They thought they were lucky this time.
Then they found Kitty lying on the couch. Kira quickly ran over to her and picked her up.
"OK, let's get out of here before anyone else knows we are here," Kira said in a hushed tone of voice.
Just when they reached the door, Jessica jumped a bit when she saw who was standing at the door.
"Well, well, well," spoke the voice of the masculine stranger. "Long time, no see. And I see you have a friend with you. That's great, but you have to leave Kitty here. She's not a part of the furry world. She's a human girl when she's not wearing that collar." It took a while for Kira and Jessica to figure out that it was a black fox standing under a silhouette and speaking to them.
"Charles? I...I...I thought you were dead and gone forever," Jessica said, feeling terrified and stammering a little.
"Skip it, Jessica. We don't have time for this now," Kira said angrily.
"Can you prove that she's not a furry?" Kira said firmly to the black fox, who was standing there and blocking their only escape through the doorway.
"Sure, I can," Charles said. "I just remove the collar and then she returns to her normal self."
Kira removed the collar from Kitty, but nothing happened.
"I don't see anything happening to her. She's not a girl, but a cat."
The black fox made a strange look at the little cat girl.
"Here, give me that collar," he said, holding out a paw in request. He took the collar out of Kira´s hand and looked at it just to see if it was the correct collar.
"This cant be true," he said in disbelief. "This is the collar we attached on that girl's neck before she was sent to the furry world. We only misread that if a good-hearted furry cares for her and will only be with this furry in her care, she changes into a furry forever."
Jessica and Kira looked at each other, then at Kitty, and then up at Charles.
"Let's get you three back to your own world fast before anyone knows of this."
Kira kept hold of Kitty in her arms as she and Jessica ran after the black fox, and in no time at all, they were at a laboratory where Charles worked with the humans.
"Why do you work with those strange humans?" Jessica asked him.
"Well, after I went through the portal four years ago, I couldn't go back," explained Charles. "We now are the first to know how to open the portal, but being in this world for such a long time leaves no reason for me to go back now. This is my home." Jessica looked sad when he said those things, but at least she was happy, because she knew now that he was still alive.
"Alright, the portal is open," Charles said, motioning the three to go through the portal. "Quick! Run through it before anyone sees you."
Kira ran in first, but Jessica stood there for a few moments.
"Go! Before it closes again," he said to her, beckoning her to move.
"Promise me you will come back to me someday," she said to him with a sense of love running through her. "You are still in my heart, and I always will love you. Goodbye, Charles."
Then she ran through the portal, and it soon closed behind her.
Charles stood there to watch the portal close, and he started crying a little bit.
A moment later, some humans came to the lab to look for where Kitty was after they witnessed two female furries running into he lab.
Charles said to them that no one had been there tonight, and it was just him working on the portal.
The humans believed his words and ran out again to continue their search for the two young female furries.
