Anise stuck her furry ivory head out
of the plastic cat flap into the cold frigid night. " He should have
been here by now ,"she groaned shivering in the bitter air.She looked
back into her owners warm house and sighed when she saw her mother and
siblings were still snoring in ther plush cat box. She let herself slip
out of her house and in haled a lung full of air. Anise knew that this
was going to be her and Beowolfs last night. Anise closed her eyes
trying to imagine it. She saw Beowolf leading her through a picturesque
forest of sage ,sea ,and peacock green christmas trees. Beowolf was
telling her about his pack and stoped occassionally to nuzzle her neck
softly wiith his silky white muzzle. A loud crack made Anise open her
eyes to scan the perimiter. A brown and black tabby leeaped onto the
wooden oak porch she was sitting on . "Baby" the cat said dragging his
words slowly and unaturally. "You still thinking about that dog" .
Anise flinched. "How do you know about that" she asked flicking her
tail nervously. Oh the cat anwsered . "Word gets around , and I know
certain birds he said circling her with an evil gleam in his eyes." You
know nothing she said pushing away her fear. "I dont?" the cat said
raaising a barely visible eyebrow. Well he said pausing I know about
your late night meetings.Looking at Anise slyly he siad shall I go on .
Anise shook her head in disbelief. Angus she cried frustratedly backing
away. Angus shook his head his ears presed against his shaggy head. I
even have to tell the council he said laughing. The air bagan to choke
Anise as she breathed in weasing. "Why " she whispered ? Because I
love you angus said reaching one of his worn paws. Well I dont love you.
Anise said lungeing at Angus. The force blew him to the ground .
Struggling to get back on his paws. Angus frowned " Big mistake the
councill will be warned and you and your doggy boy friend will be...
Angus chuckled and shook his head . You'll see he said slumping over.
soon. Anise turned away and began to run across the wet green grass. She
knew exactly what Angus meant . They would punish her by taking away
her true love. Her paws kicked up fresh spring dirt sticking to her fur
like elmers glue. I knew someone would find out she thought. I have to
warn Beowolf. She rane twords an immense pine tree and saw Beowolfs
jagged form .The stars seemed to point to the forbidden pair as she came
closer. The smell of pine filled her nostrils. Red cardnels conversed
in the tree above ." Beowolf" Anise cried . Beowolf perked up his ears
and ran toward her. The grass crunched as he aproached . What happened
he asked as he saw Anises dirty tear streaked fur. Anise collapsed into a
pile and looked into Beowolfs eyes we have to get out of here . They
know about our love. Beowolf licked some of the dirt off of her dirt
caked fur. Its alright he said. No its not Anise uttered. Beowolf
locked his dark brown eyes soothing her Its going to be all right. Anise
rose of her feet and leaned against The pine tree for support.
Regaining some of her confident composure she began washing herself
off. Well I have to tell you somthing somthing Beowulf said fixing his
eyes on the stars above. Im leaving tomaorow. Im sopposed to go to
the land were its allways cold to start my traning to be the leader aof
the sled dogs. Anise stopped grooming herself and gasped . You were
planning this all along she growled. Well Beowulf whispered I told you
that soonI would havve to leave . But what about the council she
thought. You musnt leave me anise pleaded. Her Eyes opened wider than
before. Please theyll take me away. Beowul looked into her eyes . Im
sorry he said shaking his head.Im so sorry you cant . Anise frowned and
turned away. Just promise me she said . That youll come bak one day and
you wont have anyone else on you mind . Beowulf mournfully nodded and
gave her one lat affectionate touch before dissappearing into the abyss
like darkness.He's a strong dog a sweet chirping voice said from above .
Anise jumped and looked to see one of the red cardnels llooking at her
in admiration . " Are you a spy of angus Anise asked looking around once
more. No child said the bird in omplete disgust at the woord Angus that
bird torturer. I would never. The Bird climbed to th e edge of the
trees darkgreen hed and exposed her blazing red features.Anise sighed an
letm herself relax.I heard you and tjhat dog talking it seems that you
and him really lov each other . Anise looked away and troyed with a
broken pine cone. He doesnt care she said . Hesaid that he's leaving .
Well the cardnel said he had that look in his eyes like he wished you
could b e with him . Like he redretted being chosen . Anise looked up
with hope . So he still cares for me Anise asked. Well dear child if
my Harold went away for a long time or just went away I would follow him
that s what you should do . Anise sighed annd smiled at the cardnel .
Thank you she said sniffing the ground to pickup beowulfs sweet scent.
I disagree with your parents...I think that the idea of a cat and dog in a relationship is a different and a unique idea. I do think that your story needs a lot of clean up though. The typos and spelling errors. You will make this a much stronger piece when you do. I like that you have delivered this story from the cats perspective. The idea of this forbidden love is a great one. Hope you have more chapters in store.
Thank you ! I will edit the grammer mistakes hope fully by friday and since my parents think a dog cat relation ship is sick I will probably have to change it alot .
I like this story very much. I love how you tell it from an animal's perspective and set it in an animal world. My only criticism is the grammar; you're missing question marks and quotes and commas in many places, which makes it hard to read.
