MariJ Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Here is the beginning of the story: (THANKS! again, Valerie and Lauren.) Whisper sighed, she was warm and comfortable but she wasn’t going to get any work done by lying in the sun. Today’s job had to be done at night and her jet black fur made her almost invisible after dusk. She was sleek and nimble, much like a ninja and she wasn’t afraid of water, perfect for a task on a ship. Whisper stretched and lightly clawed the blanket she was laid on. Dusk was approaching fast and her Master was expecting great things from her tonight. Whisper headed for the basement, there was one thing she needed first. She started searching for ..........

MariJ Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Whisper finished her snack and thought more about what she might need for this mission. Since it would be dark and on a ship she had to plan carefully as it might be dangerous. She began to look around when suddenly she spotted something she'd surely need....

zebidee75 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 It was a bit strange though that it was there, almost too good to be true one might think. Did this mean someone else knew what she had planned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannieEv Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Finding this made her pause. Was it possible someone was spying on her? She sat down and cleaned her paws while she considered this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judy in SD Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Then she remembered that this is where the cabin boy always sat to eat his supper, so perhaps this marvelous find was dropped by him, he never had any table manners, that child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Whisper picked up the MAGIC CAPE and hurried out the door. Her master might be looking for her and she still needed to hear her full job. It was almost dark and she had to get to the ship and didn't want to be late!!! She put some helpful things in her bag, pulled on the cape and.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 OH! Whisper realized it was almost dark and she still did not have her assignment. Her master would not be pleased as she was the only one for this job. So Whisper quickly grabbed a backpack and placed Pirate in it whispering, "shhhh. Be very quiet and I will take you with me, you might be helpful.". And with that she put on the backpack and crept out into the night, picking up speed as she reached the outskirts of town. Since she was sleek and nimble and in the dark was invible because of her jet black fur she reached the ship quickly, but there was her Master waiting for her. Whisper wondered if he would still give her the assignment , then remembered that she was perfect for the job on a ship as she was not afraid of water. Climbing up to meet him she said, "Master I am here and ready for whatever you need me for". She removed her cape so her magnificent fur almost blended into the black night. Pirate stayed very still and quiet but trembled a bit as her Master replied... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master continued, "Whisper, because you are quick and nimble and can glide through the night without being seen I have a special task for you, but first let me give you the background information, it is a huge threat to our Cat community but many others have offered to help. First come onto the ship and I will explain... Whisper climbed aboard and Master continued, "We have danger in our midst and this is what happened..."

MariJ Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Whisper also was very still and quiet, not wanting to give Pirate away. He might be a dog, but Whisper knew he was no threat.

zebidee75 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 you must watch out for clues and track down our Ancient Secret. I trust that you will be as stealthy as usual, but DO NOT take any risks - this mission is by far the most important you will ever take on.

GrannieEv Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Pirate was trembling so hard Whisper was afraid Master would notice. She hoped the backpack was invisible in the dark, like her fur. Her keen hearing picked up the sound of mice running here and there. It was so tempting to go on the hunt for them but, no, she had to focus on what Master was saying about this important mission. She felt ever so important and quite proud of herself. Master was talking to the First Mate about setting sail in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jode2771 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 And then it happened. Pirate sneezed. Whisper span around and tried to cover it up... The Master was looking at her strangely... She hoped no one would realise but she was wrong... the First Mate walked over to the corner and kicked her bag by mistake... Pirate tried not to yelp... The First Mate pulled the bag open...
