lost battle.
"We emulated a small school of minnows swimmi ng merrily into the net, not
realizing it
would end the world as we knew it and our freedom, as well," she ended with
the flair of
a splashy triggerfish.

"Yes," Angel sighed, "and I don't know how I will ever return the kindness."
"At least they feed us well," Dee added.
"Probably just fattening us up for the kill," Cat concluded.
Everyone believed Angel the 'brainy, aloof one', 'The Ice Princess'. If they
only
knew the truth. In actuality, she was as shy as Dee was brassy and
kindhearted to a fault.
Like now. Not the shy part of course, the shy part disappeared when she got
to know you
and morphed into the bossy part. Bossy and kindhearted, who could win an
argument
with someone like that? Only a sycophant, whose main en joyment in li fe
involved
drowning little kittens, Cat grumbled the last part almost silently to
herself.
Dee and Angel exchanged a conspiratorial nod; the aunts would be jumping out
of
their tennies. They all needed the aunts, th ey represented the only family
the three of
them had known in a very long time and had become an integral part of their
lives.

The aunts were euphoric and ecstatic to see Cat; and nervous, apprehensive,
agitated, flustered, and all together ruffled.
Cat felt better already.
They launched into a soliloquy of how they transported the kittens and kept
them
safe; how they gave notice to Cat's employe r so they wouldn't worry about
her; then
followed this revelation by saying that th ey hadn't given Angel's company
notice on
purpose. Let them wonder what had happened to her. They would probably
conclude
that she quit and left the state, which is exactly what she should have done
when that

mess began with one of the owners of th e company. After everything she'd
already
endured with men, well, they deserved to worry and wonder whether she
intended to
speak with an attorney about a sexual harassment suit.
It took them about another fifteen minut es to finally wind down to a
blessedly
silent, pregnant pause. Clearly, at a loss as how to procee d, the two went
Gattonian still
and fixed twin gazes on Cat. That's when she noticed it. They had matching
tawny cat-
eyes.
She couldn't help herself. "What happened to your eyes, they used to be

brown."
"Well, dear," Helen cast an anxious look at her sister, "these are the real
color of
our eyes; when we are on earth we wear contacts to blend in."
"That must have been extremely uncomfortable for you, considering the length
of
time we lived under the same roof together," she observed politely.
"You're damn straight it was," mumbled Marie.
"Oh my, this isn't going very well at all ," Helen messaged to her sister.
Catarina
was a fey little creature with too much ope nness, enthusiasm, and naïve
generosity. The
three friends had raised each other and done a fine job of it but there
remained missing
pieces in each of them. They needed an anc hor to firmly bind them together
as a family
and she and Marie had, long ago, determined that they would be that anchor.
They had decided to fix the three girls' lives as best they could and had
been
working diligently toward that end. They hoped Cat would let them stay in
her life long
enough to finish the job. She was a member of their family now, as were Angel
and Dee,
being extended sisters to Cat.
Cat observed 'her aunts' sitting too still as if waiting for some invisible
axe to fall.
They looked like two peas in a pod, literally. They reached no higher than
five feet& and
were plump. Well, maybe a little plumper than plump. They currently looked
like two
overfed, colorful Prairie pups propped together on the sofa that lined their
quarters in an
L shape. She had to let them off the hook.
"Zorroc told me he sent you to evaluate my suitability as a mate for him. I
understand that you had no choice but to carry out his plans. I also know
that my parents,
if not the instigators, certainly facilitated the plan." She improvised,
determined to clarify
her parent's exact role in this dilemma.
"All the people of Gattonia were contacted for potential fertile females.
You
belong to a High House with noble blood and th erefore were considered the

possibility. Your parents knew this and, indeed, put your name into the hat,
so to speak.
They will be very proud that you mated with our leader," Marie explained in
logical
terms.
