The Cats and the Rock Rat, and by Arthur Wei

Marit was playing in the garage of his owners house. “Yawn…” said Marit. “What can I do today?” His owner was getting into the vehicle. Just then, Weavile peeked into the house. “Hide!” Marit yowled. Weavile ran into the kitchen.

Marit’s owner walked into the room. “Don’t get into trouble.” She walked briskly into her car. Marit purred as she drove away. Then he ran into the kitchen.

“Is she gone?” asked Weavile.

“Yes, she is.” said Marit. “Come on! Let’s go chase some rats!" Marit ran to the screen door and pawed it open. They ran out to the yard and started running around.

Suddenly, the kitty door opened up and Furball came flying through, followed by Ash and Litten. All three kittens ran full speed at Marit. They yelled,”Marit! We’re here!” as they barreled into him.

“Hello, Furball, Ash, and Litten!” he said as he fell over. “Let’s go chase some rats!”

The kittens stared at him with disgust. “Yuck! We want to chase butterflies, Marit!” They ran away, into the flowers.

“Well, just us today!” said Marit. Marit and Weavile ran into the sewer and looked for all the rats.

“There’s one of them.” Weavile said as he caught one running away.

“Don’t eat me!” the rat squeaked. He tried to get out of Weaviles grip, but Weavile was too strong. Suddenly, the rat started chanting. The rocks on the ground started levitating. He pushed his hands forward and the rocks shot into Weavile.

“Ow!” he yelled as he let go of the rat.

The rat fell, but landed on a levitated rock. “I am the rock rat! He yelled.

“Oh no!” yelled Marit. “ Run!” he yelled at the top of his lungs. He shot out of the sewer. With Weavile right behind him. They flew out of the sewer and landed on the grass. “Oh god! That was very wrong!” Marit said. He looked at Weavile and yelped. He right away started licking the blood. It tasted horrible. “Don’t die!’ he said.

The kittens started licking him to. “Yuck” said Furball. Weavile stopped breathing.

“No!” said Marit, as he sobbed. The kittens cried with him. They buried him in the ground.

“Bye…” said the kittens as they walked back through the door.

Marit walked back into the house. Then he heard a sound. A rat came into view. Marit sobbed. “I’m sorry!” he cried.

The rat came closer and said,”you gave no mercy to us, so I will give no mercy to you.” He raised his hands and then Marit felt a sharp pain in his neck. Then the world went black.
