“Ring the bell if you can’t breath.” Doc said and handed Squeaky a bell. “Okay.” Then Doc left. Squeaky started to cough. Ring the bell if you can’t breath, Squeaky thought and rang the bell. No one came. he tried again. No one came. Squeaky started to fall into a trance. He could no longer talk or move. Squeaky could only cough. Finally Doc entered the room. “Squeaky, are you alright? Squeaky!” Doc yelled and ran to the bed. Squeaky didn’t say anything, or do anything for that matter. “Squeaky why didn’t you ring the bell?” Doc asked as he and some other doctors gave him some medicine. Squeaky still couldn’t say anything. “Squeaky can you hear me? Hold –“ Squeaky tried to make out what he said, but his coughs got louder and harder. “Did –“ Doc started to worry. “Squeaky can –“ He asked one more time, but Squeaky still didn’t answer. Squeaky couldn’t feel any part of his little body now. He couldn’t even think. “Can you feel this?” Doc asked and gently pinched his paw. Squeaky shook his head. “How ‘bout this?” Doc said and checked his reflexes, but his leg didn’t move. Squeaky shook his head again and then fell forward. Doc caught him before he fell to the floor. “S –“ Squeaky couldn’t even make out his own name. His body and fur was numb. “S –“ Squeaky thought Doc tried to say something again. Squeaky kept coughing and coughing until he passed out again. Doc tried everything he could to help, but nothing worked. Squeaky still felt numb. “Kayla, we might need to do a heart transplant.” “Okay, only if it works.” Kayla said and tried to smile at Squeaky. “Doc, will he be okay?” Shelly asked as she bit her lip. “I’m not sure.” Doc answered and gently tapped her nose. That was a sign that meant Stop biting your lip! Shelly thought. Shelly went back to the waiting room and cried. About two hours after the heart operation Squeaky woke up. “Oh, thank goodness your alive!” Kayla said and hugged him. I can feel that! Squeaky thought and hugged is mom back. “I’m not numb anymore! And, and I can talk!” Squeaky shouted and jumped up then landed on the floor. “Oof!” Squeaky said and tried to get up. “Squeaky, are you okay?” Kayla asked as she helped him up. “No.” Squeaky said weakly. “Squeaky, what are you doing?” Doc shouted and lifted him to the bed. “I thought I could get up.” “You can feel and talk. That doesn’t mean you can move!” Doc said and gave him a hug. “You need to be more careful, your not healed yet.” Doc said softly. “Yes Sir.” Squeaky said and laid back down. Shelly walked into the room. “Squeaky. Your okay.” Shelly said in a low tone. “Yeah! I’m alright, how cool?!” Squeaky said and gave Shelly a confused look. “Can I have a moment alone with Shelly please?” Squeaky asked and then everyone left. “What’s wrong?” “I know who launched the rocket.” Shelly said and looked into Squeaky’s eyes. “Who?” “My mother. She wanted to get revenge on me.” Squeaky’s eyes went huge! “Really?” Squeaky asked, even now he already knew the answer. Shelly nodded. “And the worst part is, she’s coming here.” Shelly said and a lump got caught in her throat. “I don’t want to go with her! I don’t want to!” Shelly shouted. “Shhhh! You can hide under my bed and she’ll never know your in here!” Squeaky heard footsteps coming towards the room. “Hurry.” And then Shelly crawled underneath the bed. “Hello Squeaky. I heard what happened to you and I felt so sorry that I came here.” Shelly’s mother, Molly said. “Thank you for coming.” Squeaky said and knew that Molly was lying threw her teeth. She wanted me dead! Squeaky realized. “I’m just sorry that the rocket missed Shelly.” Molly said and smiled a crooked smile. “You were trying to get revenge on her by killing her!” Squeaky shouted. “Yes, and now you know I’ll have to kill you too. So you won’t tell.” Molly said and grabbed out a piece of pokey wire. “Wha?” Squeaky shouted and saw the bell. He reached for it, but before he could grab it Molly stabbed his paw. “Ah!” Squeaky shrieked in pain. “Does that hurt?” Molly asked and laughed. “N ….No!” Squeaky choked. “Oh really then how about this?!” Molly said and tried to stab Squeaky’s chest. “AH.” Shelly jumped in front of the wire and got stabbed herself. “Shelly!” Squeaky shouted as he saw her fall to the floor. “Ah. Ah.” Shelly choked as she tried to catch herself. “Ha! Now you will face the pain I felt when you didn’t come home with me!” Molly said and grabbed her daughter. Molly threw her to the floor and then Shelly was so weak she passed out. “Shelly!” Squeaky shouted and leaped out of bed, but forgot about what Doc told him and dropped to the floor. “AH HA! You thought you could stop me ….right after an operation?! Ha!” Molly yelled and heard the door open. “Huh?” Molly was caught by surprise. “What is going on in here?!” Doc yelled and then Molly grabbed him and put the wire to his furry neck. “Listen here, if you tell anyone and I mean anyone you will die!” Molly threatened. “Okay.” Doc said and looked at Shelly and Squeaky. They both lay hopeless on the ground. Come on, someone open the door. Come on! Doc thought and then heard a noise. “The door!” He yelled with joy. Molly threw Doc to the ground and grabbed Kayla. “AHHHH!” Kayla screamed and saw a glimpse of Molly’s face. “Molly?” Kayla said as she saw the look on her face. “Kayla? Is that you?” “Yes, but what are you doing?” “Sh …she’s my mom.” Shelly said weakly. “Your mom? No. Molly is a cruel criminal and works for Vulture! She is the one for my scar!” Kayla cried. “That’s right I used that moron to get vulture happy, but she did not come! So I attacked your son instead.” Molly said and laughed. Shelly felt so stupid. Squeaky even felt stupid. Doc was just shocked and confused. “Kayla if you want to live. You’d let me kill your son.” “Never!” Kayla cried and felt a sharp pain in her stomach and fell over. “MOM!” Squeaky yelled and tried to get up, but just fell over. “And you! If you want to live you’ll let me kill your mom!” Molly shouted and laughed again. “No! Kill me instead.” Squeaky yelled back and then felt Molly’s paws grab him. “Okay, I’ll have fun!” “Just don’t harm anyone else!” Squeaky shouted and felt Molly squeeze his neck. He couldn’t breath. Squeaky kicked and squirmed, but nothing loosened her grip. “E ….A …M –“ Squeaky tried to choke out, but couldn’t. “Molly, let him go!” Shelly yelled. Molly didn’t even budge. “Molly!” Shelly shouted and kicked her shin. “Ouch!” Molly cried and whipped Squeaky across the room. Squeaky fell on the floor. “You! I’ll get you for this!” Molly shouted. “No, I’ll get her. You’ll get the boy mouse!” Vulture said. “Yes Sir!” Molly said proud. “I’m not done with you yet!” Molly shouted at Squeaky. Squeaky couldn’t see straight. He saw his two mothers on the floor. He saw the doctors against the wall, shaking, and saw Shelly get attacked by two Vultures. “Ready to die?” She asked him. “To bad!” Molly shouted and grabbed Squeaky and then Squeaky saw two wires coming at him. “Ah!” Squeaky shouted and everything went black to him. Doc saw Squeaky get stabbed and called for and back up. Hold in there Squeaky. Doc thought and then Shelly landed against him. “Oof!” Doc shouted. Shelly and Doc landed on the floor. “Shelly are you okay?” Doc asked as he tried to protect her. “Yeah ….just f …fine.” Shelly said and fell over, then got back up. “Fun, two morsels!” Vulture said. “Don’t anybody move! This is the mouse police!” An officer shouted. Everyone looked at them and didn’t move, except for Vulture. He flew away. Molly threw the wire and hit an officer in the chest. “Oof! You got me there!” The officer shouted and laughed. The wire fell to the floor. Body Armor! Doc thought and smiled. “Get her boys!” He said and they grabbed Molly and threw her in the cop car. “Are you alright?” Officer William asked Shelly. “Yeah, just a little shaky.” Shelly said and hugged William. “Okay. Well you’ll be fine. I promise.” He said and loaded Shelly up in the ambience. “Are you okay?” William asked Doc. “Yes, I’m fine. I’m worried about those two though.” “Okay, just hop up into the ambience.” William said and saw Kayla struggle to get up. “Okay Ma’am just get into the vehicle and you’ll be fine.” Kayla nodded. Kayla was loaded into the ambience and taken to the hospital with Shelly and the doctor. Next was Squeaky. “Are you alright son?” William asked. No answer. “Son are you okay?” William repeated. Still Squeaky didn’t move. “Hey guys, I need help with this one.” William said and helped Ben get Squeaky into the last ambience. At the hospital every mouse was busy with patients. After about four hours later, Kayla and Shelly were healed, and Doc was already sent home. “Is Squeaky alright?” Shelly asked and tried to hold back tears as the doctor shook his head. Shelly saw squeaky and the tears rolled down her face. She ran towards him. “Squeaky, if you can hear me, I want you to know that …that I like you a lot and I always liked you!” Shelly said and kissed Squeaky on the cheek. Kayla watched Shelly and smiled a little smile. “Squeaky, I need you! We all need you. Don’t leave us now!” Shelly said. Kayla even started crying. “Please don’t leave us, please!” Shelly sobbed. Squeaky didn’t budge. He heard every word she said. I’m sorry Shelly, but I have to leave. Squeaky thought. After two minutes of silence Shelly fell asleep. She dreamed of Squeaky and Kayla and herself having a picnic at the beach and all of the great times Squeaky and Shelly had together. When Shelly woke up she was still crying. “Squeaky.” Shelly whispered and hugged him. Then all of a sudden she felt a paw on her shoulder, it was Kayla. “Shelly, I’m sorry. Squeaky is …is –“ “No, he’s not dead!” Shelly shrieked. “Shelly there’s nothing else they can do to help him.” Kayla said. Shelly shook her head. “They can do anything they believe they can do!” Shelly said and laid her head on Squeaky’s stomach. “Shelly, it’s over. They’re going to let him go.” Kayla said. Shelly shook her head. “Shelly if you really cared about him you would let him die! He’s in pain.” Kayla said. Shelly heard the doors open. “Are you ready Kayla?” Doc asked. You could tell he was crying, his eyes were red. “Yes.” Kayla whispered and pulled Shelly off of the bed. “NO!” Shelly cried. “No! No!” Shelly shouted and saw Doc take off all of the wires that were on Squeaky and put them in a bucket. “He lives off those! Don’t!” Shelly cried again. Doc removed the rest of the things that were on Squeaky and put those in the bucket too. “No.” Shelly whispered. After Doc was done he left the room. Kayla let go of Shelly. Shelly just dropped to the floor. “Get up.” Kayla said with tears in her eyes. “No, let me die too!” Shelly cried. “Shelly!” Kayla said and rushed out of the room. “Shelly …You shouldn’t be on …the ground. Y. ..You might get sick.” Squeaky said weakly. “Squeaky!” Shelly cried and ran up to him. “I thought you were dead.” “I w ..will soon.” Squeaky said shaking. “NO!” Shelly said. “I’ll be right back, please hang in there!” Shelly said and ran to get a doctor. “Shelly …” Squeaky shouted. Squeaky was shaking really bad. Doc rushed into the room. “Squeaky?” Doc said. “D ..Doc?” Squeaky whispered. “Get the machines!” Doc shouted. “Hang in there.” Doc tried to hold Squeaky’s paw steady, but his shook with it. “Hold on. You’ll be fine. Hang in –“ Doc’s voice finally faded as Squeaky fell asleep. “Squeaky. Squeaky!” Kayla was saying. “Mom!” Squeaky shouted and tried to hug his mother! “Squeaky!” “I’m okay! Mom!” Squeaky said and saw his mother cry. Then Squeaky saw Shelly crying in the corner of the room. “Shelly, I’m okay! I’m okay!” Squeaky shouted. I can’t believe Squeaky’s dead. Shelly thought. “Wow, I can hear other mice’s thoughts …What I’m dead?!” Squeaky shouted. Squeaky, I love you. Kayla thought. “Mom! I love you too!” Squeaky said. “Where am I?” Squeaky asked himself. “Your in a dream.” Someone said. “A dream? Am I dead?” Squeaky asked. “Your in your own dream, you need to wake up, before it’s to late and then you will be dead!” The voice said again. “How do I wake up?” Squeaky panicked. “You will find out soon enough.” “Wait who are you?” Squeaky shouted. “Who are you? Who are you?” Squeaky said. “Squeaky wake up!” Kayla yelled. “Mom!” Squeaky woke up and hugged his mom. “Squeaky!” Kayla said and hugged him back. Shelly joined the hug. “I love you guys!” Squeaky said and let go of the hug. Kayla stepped back and then Squeaky grabbed Shelly and kissed her. Shelly turned red. “Wow. What was that for?” Shelly asked. “I like you.” Squeaky said. “Well in that case …” Shelly came close to Squeaky and acted like she was going to kiss him, and pulled up the curtains! Shelly and Squeaky laughed. Kayla giggled. “Now I think Squeaky needs his rest.” Kayla said and led Shelly out the door. Squeaky was so relieved he was alive. “Knock, knock.” Doc said. “Is everything alright?” “Yeah, everything’s fine! Do I have anymore operations or stuff like that?” Squeaky asked. “Just one more. This one is to check on your chest and heart! But it will be easy!” Doc said and smiled. “When is it?” Squeaky asked nervously. “Tomorrow at 1 o’ clock. Okay?” “Okay.” Squeaky said and gave him a fake smile. “Now, I’ll just leave this here and go.” Doc said as he put a tray of food in front of Squeaky. “Thank you!” Squeaky said excitedly. As soon as Doc went out the door Squeaky dug in his meal. “Mmmm!” Squeaky said as he scarfed down his meal. “This is so –“ “Good?” Vulture Shouted sarcastically as he fly threw the window. “What are you doing here?” Squeaky said as he put his tray down. “I came to finish what Molly started!” Vulture hissed. Squeaky got out of bed and ran across the room. “Ha! You think you can get away?” Vulture asked and backed Squeaky into a corner. “Hey, Uh listen how about we um …forget that ever happened” Squeaky tried to convince him. Vulture just laughed an darted at Squeaky’s left arm. “Ah!” Squeaky shouted in pain, but was too scared to move. “How does that feel?” Vulture chuckled again. “How does what feel?” Squeaky tried to not let him see his weak side. “How does this feel?!” Vulture darted for his other arm, but missed. “Why you little!” Vulture cursed. Squeaky ran to the door, and thought if he ran out those doors he would endanger other mouse’s’ lives too! Then back away from the door to the other corner. Vulture darted at his right arm again. “Ah!” Squeaky shouted. “Did you feel that?” Vulture asked sarcastically. Squeaky wasn’t paying any attention to Vulture, just the pain in his arms. How am I going to make it out alive? Squeaky thought. Vulture darted at both of his legs and Squeaky fell to the ground. Squeaky held in his scream and instead focused at the pain. Vulture wasn’t through with him yet. Squeaky knew that, but Squeaky couldn’t take much more. “Had enough? Well not me!” Vulture smiled and grabbed Squeaky and squeezed the daylights out of him. Vulture threw him on the ground and watched as Squeaky lay there. Squeaky felt so angry. He thought he was going to explode, but the pain held him back. “What in tar nation is going on here?!” Doc shouted and stepped back. “A morsel for me? Okay, sounds good!” Vulture said and darted for Doc. “Ah!” Doc said and dropped down to the floor. Vulture was so excited to eat Doc he forgot about the open door. “Get that bird out of here!” A Doctor whispered to a police mouse. The mouse then pulled out a worm and through it out the window. “Ha! You think a worm is going to get me out of here?” Vulture snickered. Then darted for Doc again. Doc was knocked out by now. Squeaky was still trying to get up. “Vulture, leave him alone!” Squeaky shouted and limped up. Vulture turned around and a burning fire was light in his eyes. Vulture darted right to Squeaky’s stomach, Squeaky tried to move out of the way, but was too slow. BAM! Right in the middle of his stomach. Squeaky let out a huge cry and went face forward into the ground. “I think my work here is done!” Vulture said and flew out of the window. “DOC! DOC, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!” James, another doctor, asked. Doc didn’t answer. He just laid there. “Someone get him to a room!” James cried and put Doc onto a bed. He looked over at Squeaky and saw a little puddle of blood. “Oh boy!” James said and lifted Squeaky to another bed. The morning after, Doc was doing fine and he was ready to get back to work, but Squeaky was still getting worked on. “Oh, Squeaky for once I wish you would stay out of trouble!” Kayla said. Shelly was still sleeping. It took four days to finely get Squeaky to wake up. “Squeaky, just for a little while, please stay out of trouble!” Kayla said and hugged her son. “Sorry mom.” Squeaky said. “Where’s –“ Squeaky started to say when a tear rolled down Kayla’s face. “She, she is with Vulture.” Kayla said. “What?! Is she okay, is she dead?” Squeaky went ballistic. “We’re not sure.” Kayla apologized. “I have to find her!” Squeaky said and got out of bed. “No, you stay here!” Kayla said. Squeaky looked at his mom with tear filled eyes. “No, no, no! You have to rest now!” Kayla shouted and ran out of the room. Squeaky got out of bed again and jumped out the window. “Oof!” He shouted when he hit the ground and ran towards the Forest. “Shelly! Shelly?” Squeaky shouted and looked around the dark place. “Squeaky!” Shelly’s voice echoed. “Squeaky help me! Please help!” Shelly cried. “Shut up, you little runt!” Vulture yelled and Squeaky heard a WHACK! Then everything was quite. Squeaky scampered around until he found Shelly. “Shelly are you alright?” Shelly didn’t answer. Squeaky saw that she was hanging from a branch. “Are … Are you dead?” Squeaky asked as he looked around for Vulture. “Shelly is not dead, she is uh …Unconious!” Vulture said as he saw Squeaky trying to save Shelly. “Vulture! So we meet again.” Squeaky said trying to sound calm. “So we do. And this time your not going to get away so easily.” Vulture said with a wide grin. “What do you mean?” Squeaky asked as he ran up the tree. “I mean, you won’t get away. I mean your dead meat, kid.” Vulture said and dove for Squeaky, but missed. “Ha!” Squeaky shouted and found the rope. “Hold on Shelly.” Squeaky whispered. “Laugh while you can! Laugh while you can!” Vulture shouted and dove again, but this time Squeaky didn’t know where he dove. Squeaky started to sweat, and his heart began to pound, faster and faster. “Squeaky!” Shelly cried becoming conious again. “Shelly!” Squeaky yelled happily and then felt his feet slipping. “Whoa! Shelly I’m, I’m –“ “Slipping!” Vulture cried and dove to Squeaky and pushed him right off the branch. “AHHHHH!” THUD! Was all the sounds that Squeaky made. “Squeaky!” Shelly cried and squirmed out of the rope. “Oof!” Shelly said quietly and then grabbed Squeaky. “Wake up, come on wake up!” Shelly said as she ran as fast as she could to the end of the forest and to The Hospital. “Doc! Doc! Hurry get –“ Shelly cried and stopped right in font of Doc. Doc was in a hospital bed. “What happened?” Shelly asked and then saw Squeaky’s room. “Holy Cow!” Shelly said and laid Squeaky on the couch in his room. Shelly saw blood on the walls and furniture. “Oh my!” Shelly cried when she saw Vulture come up to the window. Then she grabbed Squeaky and ran out of the room. “We all need to get out of here!” Shelly squeaked and warned everyone. No one listened though. “You have to listen to me! Vulture has a way to get into the building and he’ll eat all of us!” Shelly cried and without thinking opened the door. “Hello!” Vulture shouted and grinned evily. “See! I …I. RUN!” Shelly shouted and swung the door closed. Every mouse scrabbled to get to safety. Doctors took patients to special places. Shelly stumbled to one of the hiding places. “Thank you for letting me comes in here.” Shelly whispered to a doctor. The doctor just smiled and nodded. Everyone was quite, because they didn’t want to get eaten. “Is he gone?” A teenaged mouse asked. “No.” Shelly whispered and heard a small cry. “Shhh! We’re going to be fine. I promise.” The teenager said to a little girl and boy mouse. “By the way what is your name?” Shelly asked. “Oh it’s Becky, and this is Hannah and George.” Becky said introducing the little mice in a whisper. “I’m Shelly and this is Squeaky …Um he kind of fell. So he is hurt, but he’s okay.” Shelly said and shook their paws. “Becky, I’m scared.” Hannah whispered. Then they heard Vulture out in the hallway. “Shhhh!” Becky whispered softly. “Come out, Come out where ever you are!” Vulture shouted and then slammed into the door and opened it. Hannah’s eyes grew wide with tears and fear. She hugged George. George just stared at the big bird. “Found you!” Vulture snickered. “Who or what do you want?!” Shelly cried. “I want Squeaky.” Vulture smiled and then added, “And you.” “Why?” Shelly asked as she backed up. “Because you brats are going to pay for what you did to me!” Vulture cried and showed everyone a huge scar. “Fine, take us, but don’t take anyone else!” Shelly said and made him promise. “Okay, fine! Now, come on!” Vulture shouted and turned around for Shelly to jump on with Squeaky. “Your really going to go with him?!” Hannah shouted. “I have to. To protect you and George.” Shelly said. “And Becky?” Hannah asked with tears in her eyes. “And Becky.” Shelly said softly and hopped on Vulture. “Bye.” Shelly said and waved. “Bye …Good Luck!” Becky shouted and waved back. “Shelly, Shelly! What are we doing here?!” Squeaky asked as he tried to wake Shelly. “I said he could take us if he doesn’t hurt anyone else.” Shelly said and yawned. “YOU WHAT?!” Squeaky cried. Shelly jumped. “Well, I have to protect Hannah and George!” Shelly said. “Who is that?” “Two little mice. I promised them they would be safe and I would protect them. And Becky. Their babysitter.” Shelly said looking up in the sky. It looks like it’s going to rain. Shelly thought. “Oh.” Squeaky said apologetic. “Good Evening Morsels.” Vulture said and tied up Shelly and Squeaky. “I am going to kill you in front of every mouse in this village!” Vulture said and flu to the Town Square. Shelly looked at Squeaky with frightened eyes. He looked back with the same stare. Vulture tied them up, so they dangled from a nearby branch. “Ladies and Gentle Mice. This is not a game! So you should take this seriously.” Vulture snickered. “Now watch as I tourcher these mice.” Vulture added and then took Shelly down and chased her until she fell and then he dove at her and got her stomach. “Ah!” Shelly shouted with pain. Hannah and George saw Shelly try to get up. “Becky, do something.” Hannah said. “I …I can’t.” Becky said and hugged the little mice. “I’m sorry.” Becky added and watched in horror. “Had enough?!” Vulture shouted. “Nope.” Shelly said weakly and got off the ground. “Good, neither have I!” Vulture shouted and dove at her again. “Ah …Ee!” Shelly shouted and gave into Vulture’s attack. Kayla watched as Shelly couldn’t take anymore and fell to the ground. “Had enough now?” Vulture asked and stomped her face into the ground. Shelly looked at him and weakly said, “Nope.” And then fell. “Good.” Vulture said and kept diving at Shelly, until finely she gave up and dropped to the ground and didn’t move. “Oh my!” Kayla said softly and silently cried to herself. “Now, it’s Squeaky’s turn!” Vulture said and tied Shelly back up and grabbed Squeaky. “Don’t you harm my baby!” Kayla shouted and punched Vulture. “Your baby? Ha! Baby this!” Vulture said and kicked Kayla away. “Don’t hurt my mother!” Squeaky said and then vulture dove towards him. Missed! Dove again. Missed! Squeaky thought he was doing well until, BAM! “M …mom.” Squeaky said in pain, and then his stitches opened. “Ow!” Squeaky cried. He looked up at Vulture, “No, I haven’t had enough!” Squeaky shouted and looked at Hannah and George. Their eyes filled with fear and tears. Vulture smiled and dove again. Squeaky held in his cry and tears ran down his face instead. “N …no.” Squeaky said weakly. “Okay.” Vulture flue up so high Squeaky lost track of him. Squeaky was sure he was going to die. Until, Squeaky lost so much blood, he fainted. Vulture dove, but then Becky shouted, “Stop! He’s had enough!” Vulture looked at Squeaky then at Becky and nodded. Vulture stopped and tied him back up and looked at the mice. “Now that they’re out of the picture, I will be leaving!” Vulture said and grinned at Hannah and George. They backed up into Becky’s arms. “She won’t always be there to protect you.” Vulture threatened and flue away. “What did he mean by that?” Hannah asked Becky. “I don’t know.” Becky lied so he wouldn’t scary her. “Oh.” Hannah said disappointed. “Come on Hannah, we need to go.” George said and grabbed Hannah’s paw. “Okay. Wait what about Shelly and Squeaky?” Hannah asked. “I will go untie them and you guys stay here.” Becky said and jumped on the stage. Becky untied Shelly and Squeaky. “Are you guys okay?” Becky asked. “Becky …Please get Hannah an …and George safe.” That was all Shelly said and laid there. “Don’t worry I will.” Becky said almost crying. Becky saw Kayla and backed up a little. “Oh my.” She said and picked up Shelly and Squeaky and went to ambience and they took care of them. That night, “Squeaky? Are you alright?” Shelly asked quietly so no one would hear. “Squeaky?” Shelly said and poked him. Nothing worked, he was still unconious. “Squeaky …” Shelly’s voice trailed off. Then she felt a soft squeeze. She looked up and saw Squeaky’s eyes fill with tears. “What? What’s wrong?” Shelly asked. “I saw Jesus and, my dad.” Squeaky said and streams of tears ran down his cheeks. “How did he …Um –“ Shelly started to say. “He was killed by Vulture’s father. Vulture tore him to shreds.” Squeaky said still crying. “Why?” Shelly asked. “Because I was born. Vulture hated me, because I made that scar on him. Long ago when I was about seven, Vulture hit me really hard and I defended myself by …” Squeaky sobbed. “By hitting him with a hammer! And his father took my father’s life. Then from that day on Vulture made a vow he would kill me, even if it was the last thing he did.” Squeaky said and sobbed even more. “I’m so sorry.” Shelly said and hugged him. “It doesn’t matter now. I saw him again. And that’s all that matters.” Squeaky said and looked up at the sky. “How?” Shelly asked confused. “I’m not sure, but I think I died, then came back to life, as if I wasn’t ready to die yet. And I saw dad.” Squeaky said looking very proud. “Okay …I don’t know if that’s possible, but I think it’s really cool that you saw your dad.” Shelly said and looked into the sky too. “I wish I could see my dad again.” Shelly said quietly. “You will some day. Maybe not anytime soon, but in the future.” Squeaky said and then Kayla came up to them. “Hey, guys how are you feeling?” She asked kind of whispery. “Fine.” Squeaky and Shelly said together. “That’s good.” Kayla said and walked away. “What’s wrong with her?” Shelly asked. “I’m not sure.” Squeaky answered and got up and walked over to his mom. “Is everything okay?” Squeaky asked and put his paw on her shoulder. “Yeah, I’m fine just a little beat from the day.” Kayla said and smiled a little. “Okay.” Squeaky said and walked back to his bed and covered up. “What did she say?” Shelly poked him. “She’s tired is all.” Squeaky said and closed his eyes. In the morning, “Shelly! Get up.” Squeaky whispered. “What?” Shelly asked and rubbed her eyes. “Come on! We don’t want to be late!” Squeaky said quietly. “Late for what?” Shelly asked sleepily. “Shhh!” Squeaky said and grabbed her paw. Shelly followed Squeaky threw the woods and threw the river until they saw a huge building. “Whoa! What is this place?” Shelly asked. “It’s the Mansion of Magic! Magical things happen here.” Squeaky said. “Squeaky are you sure we should go in?” Shelly asked cautiously. “Nope.” Squeaky said and grabbed her hand and went in anyway. As they knock on the huge door they heard a soft growling. GRRRRR! “H …Hello?” Squeaky shouted. GRRRR! Shelly turned around and saw a dog, but it was only one inch taller than Squeaky. “Squeaky, look is that a Dog?” Shelly asked and seemed confused. “Yes, I am a dog! Magic turned me this size!” The small dog barked. “Whoa! That is some strong magic!” Squeaky said. “Yes it is! Stay away from the Mansion!” The dog shouted. “I’m Squeaky and this is Shelly.” Squeaky said and extended his paw to shake with the dog. “I’m Harley. And next time don’t change the subject.” Harley warned. “Right sorry.” Squeaky said then quickly added. “How about you come with us and we can try to get you to normal size again!” Squeaky said and looked at Harley. She was a black collie with white on her tummy, nose and paws. “Well, alright.” Harley said and shook on it. As they entered the Mansion, Squeaky quickly got tired. “Are you alright?” Harley asked. “Oh, Yeah just a bit dizzy.” Squeaky said and sat on a cold, black bench. “We can rest for a little while if you want.” Harley offered. Squeaky nodded. After a minute or two they were off again. “So do you know where we’re going?” Shelly asked Harley. “Well, I think to the top of the mansion.” “You think?” Squeaky repeated unsure. “Well, pretty sure. Like 87 percent.” Well it’s better than 50.” Shelly said. Creeeeeek, Creeeeeek. “These stairs are pretty old, careful not to fall threw.” Harley warned. “Fall threw?” Shelly paused and was unsure if she wanted to continue the adventure. “Oh come on! I was just kidding!” Harley fibbed. “Don’t do that!” Shelly shouted. Creeeek, Creeeeek! “Squeaky, I can’t take another step! I’m so tired.” Shelly said and bent down to sit, then Creeeek! “EEEK!” Shelly yelled as she fell threw the stairs. “Shelly! Are you okay?! Shelly!” Squeaky yelled. “Ow! I’m okay! I fell on something soft.” Shelly answered. “I think it’s pillows! Come look at –“ Shelly paused as she stared at the huge feline, right in front of her. “How nice of you to drop in!” She said. “S…S… Squeaky! C…C…CAT!” Shelly Screamed. “Shelly Hold on!” Squeaky yelled and jumped down the whole. The gray cat scrambled to her paws and licked her chops. “Harley, how does the magic work?!” Squeaky yelled to the small dog. “Just make a wish, quick!” Harley said as the cat made the first move towards Shelly. “I…I wish the cat was…was a nice, friendly mouse!” Shelly cried as the cat came so close she felt the whiskers! Then POOF! “What did you do to me?!” The mouse screamed. “You’re a mouse!” Squeaky said and then shook her paw. “I’m Squeaky, nice to meet you!” “I’m Haley! Um…Sorry about that.” Haley said and looked a little embarrassed. “That’s okay! At least you didn’t eat us.” Shelly said and shook Haley’s paw. “I’m Shelly and the dog up there is Harley.” Shelly said and pointed to Harley. “Nice to meet you!” Haley said and then blushed at Squeaky. Squeaky wasn’t looking though. “Come with us upstairs.” Shelly said and took Haley’s paw and said, “I wish we were on the last floor!” Shelly said, Then POOF! They were upstairs. “What are you doing here?! Your supposed to be guarding the door!” A voice grumbled. “I was!” Harley barked. “You were. I need you to guard that door, you know what happened last time, don’t you?” He paused and Harley whimpered. “Yes Sir, sorry Sir.” Harley said and backed up. “We are looking for the top of the mansion, can you point us the way?” Shelly asked and gulped as she saw big, yellow eyes appear from the darkness. “ Your already there. State your business!” The voice got angry. “We want to turn this dog to normal si -“ Shelly paused as she heard the voice laugh. “You want to turn Harley, the guard dog, to Normal size?” The voice laughed harder. “You fool, she is normal size!” “No, I’m not. I used to be taller than a cat. I used to be feared by everyone. I used to be a mother, until you took me away! And then turned me this size to guard the stupid door!” Harley barked again. Shelly just stared in amazement. “Wow, Squeaky can you believe that, a mother.” Shelly whispered. “Shelly, Help!” Squeaky cried and then she saw Squeaky dangling from a very thin rope, over a box full of cats! “Squeaky!” Shelly gasped and ran to the box. “Hold on! I’ll get you down!” Shelly said and then BAM! Shelly fell forward. “Shelly!” Squeaky shouted as he saw a big paw come down and slap her on the back of her neck. “Fool! You can not save him so easy! There is a catch so listen closely.” The voice told Harley as it saw her pick up Shelly. “You need to get me a toad spoon.” “A toad sp…spoon?” Harley gulped. “Before the day is over.” The voice boomed. “Or, let’s just say the kittens get a snack.” It laughed. “And you can not wish for it, I’ll know if you did.” It added and POOF! Harley and Shelly was outside by the swamp. “Hold on, Squeaky.” Harley said and looked at Shelly’s unmoving, furry, body. “Don’t worry, Shelly. I’ll try to save him.” She added and left Shelly on a nearby stone. About an hour later, “Harley, Did you find it yet?” Shelly asked slowly. “Shelly! I’m so glad your okay! No, all the toads are gone.” Harley said with a whimper. “Oh…. Well what is a Toad spoon?” Shelly asked and sat up. “It’s a spoon with a toad on it.” Harley said. “WHAT THAT’S ALL?! I HAVE ONE OF THOSE IN MY CASTEL!!” Shelly shouted and started to run towards the Castle. “All most there.” Shelly said and huffed up the huge hill. “All …Most …There….” Shelly said and huffed harder. “Shelly we should take a brake.” Harley said and did a light huff. “No ….we ne…. need to get the …the spoon.” Shelly said and collapsed on a tree. “Where is it?” Harley asked. “In the closet…. In the kitchen.” Shelly huffed easy. “Okay stay here!” Harley said. “I’ll be right back.” She added and ran off into the grassy hills. Shade! Sweet Shade! Shelly thought and got up. “Hello!” A voice boomed. “AHH!” Shelly jumped and backed up. “She ditched you! Now, your mine!” Then a pair of paws grabbed Shelly. “I gotta hurry! Shelly and Squeaky need me!” Harley said to herself. “AHH!” “Shelly! No I need to get that Spoon!” Harley said and ran faster. “AH –“ “Now that’s enough of that!” The cat said and disappeared with Shelly in his Paws. “Harley…” Shelly whispered and fell forward. “Shelly!” Harley yelled then forced she to go to the Castle. “Come On, Come On, Come On!” Harley said and ran as fast as she could until she got to the doors of the Castle. “Okay, Shelly said in the kitchen closet. Right over there!” Harley said excitedly. “This is easy!” Harley said and opened the closet. Slowly she opened it, little be little, then Harley grabbed the Spoon in her teeth and Scampered out of the Castle. “Es! I ave e oon!!” Harley said and looked proud. Hold on shelly, Squeaky. I’m on my way. Harley thought. Squeaky was trying to think of a plan to get on the floor. Okay, let’s see if I swing and use my teeth to cut the rope, I’ll land right there! Squeaky thought and started to swing and knaw at the rope, then SNAP! “Whow!” Squeaky squeaked. “Where am I? Huh?” “I see your finally waking up.” The Cat said. “WHAT?!” Shelly squeaked. “WHERE’S HARLEY?!” Shelly asked. “She is at your Castle trying to get the Spoon.” After that nothing else was said. “I’m sorry Squeaky, I failed you.” Shelly said and tried to get a grip of the cat’s fur so she wouldn’t fall off. Harley finally caught up to the cat, but she stayed hidden. I got the Spoon Shelly, Don’t worry. Harley thought as she snuck between trees and bushes. “Good thing I landed on something Squishy….” Squeaky said as he realized what he was sitting on. “Mew! Mew!” “MY PLAN FAILED!!” He shreaked. “Mew! Mew!” The little kitten said again. “Umm… Sorry, I-I’ll just be a going.” Squeaky said and slowly lifted himself off the kitten and started to climb the cardboard wall. “It’s not working! My claws aren’t sharp enough.” Squeaky said to himself. “Here we are, Shelly.” Cat said and carefully set her down on the floor. “Thanks.” Shelly kind of whispered. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy? Because soon you will be joining your friend. In heaven…” Cat said grinning. “No! Squeaky is still alive see!!” Shelly said and pointed to Squeaky’s ear. “HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!” Cat shouted and looked in the box. “I am….trying to umm… Tease the cats?” Squeaky tried to lie. “Right, and I’m George Washington!” The Cat joked and pushed Squeaky back into the box. “Ouch!” “Mew! Mew!” The small kittens mewed. Think…Think…Squeaky tried to calm down. Then he sighed and sat down. “What is he doing?” Shelly couldn’t resist saying it aloud. “Shelly!” Harley barked happily, “I finally caught up to you guys! “H-Harley?!” Shelly smiled, but it quickly faded as the cat slashed his claws into Harley’s little body. Harley yelped so loud Squeaky jumped. “Hold on, Harley.” Squeaky said quietly and stood up. Harley fell to the ground and whimpered softly. “Sorry, Shelly” She whispered. Squeaky jumped as high as he could and gripped the edge of the box. He looked down and saw the cats trying to grab his tail. Squeaky pulled himself up and landed on the ground with a soft thud. “As for you…” The Cat snapped at Shelly. “You touch her, you…” Squeaky felt a little tug on his tail. “I what? What can a little mouse possibly do to a cat?” Squeaky was lifted upside down in the air and dangled above the cat’s mouth. “Harley has the spoon!” Squeaky squeaked. “What? Really?” The cat seemed amazed. “Well, I guess a deal is a deal!” The Cat said and put Squeaky down and licked Harley. “Harley shall return to normal size.” Then Harley quickly grew to his normal size. “You shall be set free.” The Cat mumbled and opened the door to let Squeaky and Shelly out. “Thanks.” Shelly said kind of confused. “Hopefully we will meet again and I will have a meal of pleasure.” The Cat purred. Shelly griped Squeaky’s arm. The cat continued to purr as if he was amused. Later that day, Shelly and Squeaky laid in the grass looking at the clouds. “This doesn’t seem real.” Squeaky said. “What do you mean?” Shelly asked amused to see Squeaky’s face. “Well, I’m not really sure…” Squeaky’s voice trailed off. Shelly giggled. “What’s so funny?” “It’s nothing, really.” “No, Shelly tell me!” “Okay, well…” Squeaky noticed Shelly’s voice seemed farther and father away. Soon it was only an echo. “Squeaky, Squeaky.” The echo seemed to say. Quickly Squeaky sat up and wiped the sweat off his fuzzy head. “Squeaky are you okay?” His mother asked. “What? Where am I?” “Silly, little mouse! I you must have dozed off while I sent you up here!” “What do you mean?” “I mean after you asked me if you could play outside.” Then Squeaky realized it was all just a dream. “How long was I sleeping?” “Only about an hour…Honey is something wrong?” “Oh uh No, nothing’s wrong.” Squeaky said and hugged his mom. “I love you.” Squeaky whispered. Squeaky was also sad that his best friend never existed.
The End!
