“Don’t be afraid, Berry!” A loud familiar voice came from the side of him, having his ‘I am alone’ thoughts disappear. BerryPaw looked over, his confused face slowly turned into a smile as he saw a friend’s face. “MULCH!!”
He happily shouted at the orange and brown spotted she-kitty. Sure she spooked him, but cats always randomly appear. Berry was pretty much used to this. Didn’t matter anyway, he enjoyed her around.. A little too much. “How have you been, BerryPaw? Okay from the fire-“ Mulch’s check-in was rudely interrupted by another shout from.. Someone? “AHH!! MY NEW FRIEND!!” The shout echoed, but no one else was seen. BerryPaw’s eyes immediately went off of Mulch and looked for whoever spoke. Mulch grunted. “He ain’t your friend, kit. And why are you even here anyway?” Mulch narrowed her eyes as she spoke with her ears in ‘airplane mode’. Her voice filled with annoyance. “Why am I here?” The mysterious speaker repeated before laughing hard, making the echoes louder. A star appeared infront of them, flickering. It soon shifted into a black she-kitty. She was near the size of a warrior and also looked like someone familiar, someone he’s seen before.. But he couldn’t put his paw on it. Definitely had maybe a different fur color but she looks so familiar!
This mysterious cat suddenly looked absolutely pissed. “WHY AM I HERE?” She repeated again but louder and angrier. “YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, MULCH. HE IS.” Mysterious cat raised her paw towards BerryPaw as if she was pointing at him.
Mulch took a deep breath before she spoke “Kit, we’re just here to talk.” Trying to seem as calm as she could be. “OOHH!! SO YOU USED MY PLACE TO TALK? MY TIME TO TALK TO HIM.” The mysterious cat rolled her eyes. Though possibly ignoring all of the clues that it wasn’t smart to approach the angry cat, Mulch walked towards her. The hissing and yelling that came from this cat wasn’t enough for our “smart” gal here. BerryPaw only watched, feeling a shiver run down his spine. This didn’t feel as if it could go well. “Mulch…?” BerryPaw whispered out her name, hoping that she would hear him. She didn’t and even if she did she wouldn’t stop walking towards the cat.
Once close, Mulch smiled. “Hollow-“ then she gasped. The cat raised her paw, her claws unsheathed as she slashed Mulch’s face. Mulch yowled and took a few steps back, her paw holding where the scar was. It took a moment before she started to scream “IT BURNS” which is what she could only say as one side of her face began sliding off her skull like a burning candle. She dropped her paw, it was steaming. Slowly her leg melted into thick liquid too. Up and up till her torso was next to fall apart. Her fur moved like debris in a mudslide, mixed with the flesh and dropping down to the grass. Soon, her screams turned into gargles. What an unrecognizable mess she was.
Mulch collapsed in the crimson puddle. She tried reaching for the black cat, who watched with thrill in her eyes. The cat lowered her head to get the same level as Mulch, whispering, “Nighty night, Mulch.” Chuckling as she lifted her head up once Mulch went silent and her body no longer shook. “Well, with Mulch gone.. Now we can talk!-“ BerryPaw was gone. He had ran into the mirror and out of the world, returning to the night. Running faster than he ever thought he could. The black cat ran after him. She wasn’t the fastest, I guess you wouldn’t expect a boulder to move fast. BerryPaw didn’t look back, not to check if she was actually chasing him or if she didn’t chase him at all.
“YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME. I AM THE EVIL AND EVIL IS WHAT YOU’LL SEE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.” She screamed at him. With how far she sounded, BerryPaw was wanting to sigh but he wanted to get farther. “Whatever.” The cat muttered. Turning around and walking back into the other world.
