~~~~~~~~~~~
3 weeks earlier
Petey walked into the mall with his son holding his hand. He was really excited for this. He had planned this way too much for just a trip to the mall.
“Let's go to a toy store!” said Lil’ Petey excitedly.
“Sure, but we have to stay together, okay?” Petey replied. “I don’t want us to get separated in such a crowded place. Don’t let go of my hand okay? I won’t let go either. I promise.”
~~~~~~~~~~
Lil’ Petey happily pranced from store to store with him in tow, and believe it or not Petey was fine with it. He just wanted his son to be happy.
Suddenly, the entire building was shaking. Petey was struck with terror as he realized what was happening- an earthquake! He held on to Lil’ Petey’s hand tighter than ever. God forbid they be separated now.
Petey gasped with pain as something struck him in the shoulder. He let go of Lil’ Petey’s hand.
“Don’t let go of my hand okay? I won’t let go either. I promise.”
“I promise.”
He let go! No-
No, no, this couldn't be happening, he looked around wildly but couldn't see his son anywhere-
“I promise.”
Where was he?
“I promise.”
No. This wasn’t real, it couldn’t be-
Had he really lost his son?
Suddenly he was tumbling, falling, his screams echoing through the darkness-
He was gone, he was alone, where was he, he couldn’t breathe-
Agony, unbearable agony-
The building was collapsing, the earth was shaking, and Petey was falling. He was spiraling, drowning in panic. He wanted, needed to find his son, but he couldn’t move, he was stuck.
He was hyperventilating almost to the point where he passed out, he felt like he was drowning.
“I promise.”
Eventually he passed out, but the few minutes that passed before he did were some of the worst of his life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Lil’ Petey woke up, he couldn't move, he couldn’t see, he couldn't think. When he calmed down, he realized there was a shadowy figure standing over him. “H-Hello?” he squinted up at the figure.
“Shhhhh… I have you now, go back to sleep,” said the figure.
Something felt wrong about the way it said that, but he was too tired to think. He fell back into the embrace of sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They never found his body. After a week he was presumed dead. Petey was fine, barely injured, while Lil’ Petey was dead. It wasn’t fair.
He was just a kitten. He had so much ahead of him. It wasn’t fair that he, Petey, a criminal, was fine, but Lil’ Petey, his son, a kitten who was so kind to everyone regardless of what they have ever done, was gone. Dead. He would never see his smile, or hear his laugh, or feel him rub his head in his fur as he hugged him and say, “I love you Papa,” ever again, because he was dead, gone forever.
Dead.
He hated that word.

A/N: Well! :))) what do you think of this chapter? you may recognise THIS (Suddenly he was tumbling, falling, his screams echoing through the darkness-
He was gone, he was alone, where was he, he couldn’t breathe-
Agony, unbearable agony-) from the first chapter, when petey was having a nightmare. He dreampt about that day every night since LP died. So, well, now you know what happened. Hope you were satisfied. I may not be able to finish chpt 5 today, but if not today then for sure tomorrow.
