Continuation...
- Cat, come here! - called in the blonde Dog.
The cat pinched its eyes, feeling disgusted with the leader, but obeyed. The dog stood with his back against the wall. His gaze was as calm as ever, even though someone had literally wanted to kill him recently. But now his head wasn't busy with those terrible thoughts, it was different.
- Why were you spying on us? - The cat hissed. - I saw you in the park. You were standing right next to the fence!
- I guessed you noticed me,- smirked the dog, -and it seemed the gang should meet a new guest, didn't it? Thought you'd make your own decision without discussing it with us?
The cat felt like it was squeezed from the inside. She felt that her face was covered with fear and anger in her heart. But why is she so afraid? She's broken the rules more than once, so why should this be the exception?
- When you introduced yourself to that girl, I noticed how friendly you were talking to her, Dog continued calmly. - You know, for some reason, the Snake's words are more and more like reality. Maybe the vaults of the soul can really control their owners?
- What kind of nonsense are you talking about? - The cat punched the table with her fist. - Okay, Snake, but you?
Suddenly, the Pigeon came into the room. Wandering around like she was a bird, she came to the middle of the room. Her head swayed slightly around her thin neck like a dandelion. She stood outside the door listening to the conversation, but for the first time in her life, she decided to express her point of view.
- I'm sorry, Cat, but I think Dog is right,- she said. - It's just... You treated all the strangers with anger. I thought you needed all the people to feed you. But... You talked to that girl the same way you talked to our new gang member. And I even thought she had something like our strength, but it didn't work out the way it did.
There was a short pause. The dove became even paler. She thought she might have said something that might have offended the Cat and the Dog... But the speech of Hernagesen's junior gang member made the leader laugh.
- Even Pigeon was finally able to say something,- he said out of laughter. - Cat, what happened to you? Where is your contempt for all people? Where is your contempt for your "victims"?
- Now you will get this contempt,- said the cat. - Only my contempt will fall not on ordinary people, but on you!
The cat got closer and closer to the Dog. She put all her fervor and anger into each step. Her hands clenched tightly in her fists. A little more and there would have been a real fight.
- Please, stop it! - Scared the Pigeon shouted.
The cat stopped. Now, this shout stopped the fight, the outcome of which could have been quite deplorable. The girl fell to her knees powerlessly.
- I'm sorry, Cat, but the Snake's guess proves to be true,- said the Dog.
The gang leader went to the wooden door. Thin fingers touched the handle. He already wanted to pull it and go out into the corridor, but he was stopped by Cat's words. The cat was crying quietly. For the first time in her life, droplets of water flowed out of her beautiful and mysterious eyes, in which the boys could drown.
- I wanted revenge,- she whispered through her tears. - I wanted revenge! But she... I couldn't, you know? I couldn't end it! I just talked to her... And I realized it all,- she suddenly raised her head and screamed. - Do you understand?!
The dog stayed at the door for a couple of seconds to think about it. His memories moved him back four years when he first met the Cat. She was holding her amulet in her hands, trying to break it with anger. And it was on that day that she took her vows...
- I understand,- the Dog sighed. - But you are not the only one here who has lost his loved ones.
The dove wanted to cry, too, but she held on. With her right thin hand, she ran through her amulet. And the pigeon was missing a little piece on the neck of the neck. The pigeon was the only member of the gang who wore a broken amulet. And the amulet can not be easily taken and cracked. It takes a lot more power than muscle power.
- Let's go, Dove,- the Dog called the girl to his house. - The cat needs time to be alone.
