Why Did Catnap Kill The Smiling Critters Novels & Stories

And I was growing tired of the stench of gasoline. “Why are you smiling?” Justine asked me. I hadn't even known I was beaming. "Uhm, I was just thinking about our supply haul a little time ago. I made a snide remark to a stray cat I noticed about sucking on tubes." "I don't get it," he said, raising his brows. "You won't either for the next several years."

**ELENA'S POV** The guy with the creepy smile blocked the exit and stepped closer, bringing with him the smell of cheap cologne and tobacco. I guess I could call him Mr. Creepy Smile. “Curious cats,” the tattooed guy chuckled, rolling his shoulders like he was warming up for another kill. “We know what happens to them.” I'll call him Mr. Gold-Tooth. I let my lips curl as I replied to him. “They tend to take someone with them.”

Dominic ordered Claire's corpse to be skinned and even had her organs rendered into lamp oil. Not long after, Kate died as well. She died on a rainy day, in the large feeding cauldron in the tiger enclosure. She was boiled alive. Hearing about these ways of dying only made my nausea worse. I could no longer eat anything, and my will to survive grew fainter with each passing day. In my dreams, I seemed to return to that rainy night ten years prior.

The Alpha collapsed, blood spurting from his mouth in coughs. Viti walked over to Katla as she began to fall, saying, “Checkmate, Bitch.” I glared at him as I caught her in my arms, willing her to wake up. Chaos erupted around us as wolves began to shift for battle.

“I could still hear the old hag begging for her life as she reached for my belt, the most disgusting thing I had ever seen.” Cain’s eyes widened. “You killed the Sable Hide Pack? You eliminated them all?” I smile. “Yeah, a few months ago, we did. Cat got her own back by killing her stepsister, who caused her so much grief while growing up, and she looked like she enjoyed ripping her throat out.” “Sounds like fun,” he says and laughs. “Well, I suppose that I’ll be seeing you tomorrow as well. Thank you for your time, Konstantin.” He reaches over with an extended hand, which I take.

This night was full of strangeness. His large cat form stalked towards me and brushed my leg. I couldn’t help but let my fingers glide along his velvety fur. How I wish things were different, but they weren’t, and we were in the midst of an attack. “Crimson, tell your men; do not let the creatures touch them. Their claws and teeth are toxic. They disintegrate... die easily by the blade.” I hurried out the last part, not really knowing how to explain how they died, I was eager to join the battle and kill all these things, now I knew how.

Another gruff voice filled the atmosphere. Then, a thunderous ray of lightning broke from the sky, a tidal wave crashed to the Gramps, wetting him from top to the bottom. The cat got thrown off guard and landed straight on Matt much to his displeasure—she licked his arm with satisfaction, and he groaned in frustration. Opting to remove the cat from his body, she held on as firm as ever, digging her claws in him. Her motive probably was to stick her nail inside his skin until he bled to death. She’s a beastie, not ready to give up to the two err one visible or the other invisible masters of evil. It would serve the demons right, if a small baby animal could wipe them clean from their vindicti

Coughing out blood, “if you think that you're untouchable, let's engage in a dual where your witches aren't involved. I'll snap your neck into two.” Growling, “let me show you what snapping something into two means.” Katida who was held by Scott kept fighting to get free. Annik went to her and grabbed her hair, so painfully that she yelled. “This is the traitor. Right?” Scott nodded. Annik smirked before snapping Katida's head. She went pale before he threw her on the floor. “What were you saying?”

"Don't rush, babies! They might not find us. If you run out there, it's suicide! This is the apocalypse—we play it safe first!" Even though pets enhanced by the system had intelligence, could understand humans, and obeyed commands, they ignored me completely. Leo and Luna locked eyes, then shot off my lap like twin missiles. "No!" I had raised them from kittens—I couldn't bear to watch them become zombie chow. Cradling Snowy, I pressed to the floor, covering my ears and closing my eyes, trying to shut out reality. In theory, it was just two cats. Nothing should have made so much noise.

I reign in my shock at the expensive art hanging up, not really paying attention to where I am walking. Then I am colliding head on with what felt like a wall of granite. I glance up and look straight into the same smoky grey eyes that lurked in every corner of my dreams last night. Um. What. My brain is short-circuiting. “Wha— um. What?” Eloquent, Kat. He raises his eyebrows, clearly amused at my discombobulation. And, shit, I am staring. I open my mouth to try again, but nothing comes out.
