And for the last few centuries or so, I'd been happy as a library cat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut then I got bored, and started helping out with simple missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood thing they got to me in time on this one. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow I had to re-learn what it is to be human.

Sent from rock-outcrops in the darkness beyond our glow-balls. An ambush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSal and Jude's shields came up, but John had already gotten himself nicked. He was holding on to his other arm with his free hand, blood seeping between his fingers. We were pinned down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo I sent to Sal - \"Let me out. I'll hold them while you get John to safety.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"You sure?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"We're sitting ducks otherwise.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSal nodded to me and to Jude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI leapt out and multiplied with alternate selves, borrowed from multiple time-lines. All of us tiger-sized now. And we each held the small groups in stasis. Something I could do indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSal and Jude took John out of there. The attackers and my multiple me's we were now all in a Mexican stand-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil their reinforcements came in. One of my other future selves went down with a bad slice and a lot of blood. I signaled the others to retreat and take her with them. Then shrunk down to my smallest cat size and bounced out of harm's way to a small rock outcropping that was out of their firing-sights. Mostly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was just a nick, but I wasn't going to hold that blood in with my tiny paws. And anything larger that had regular human-type hands would stick out enough to become a target.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout that time, Sal came back with Jude on point - rapid-firing lightning bolts with hopes to fry their equipment, or at least make them duck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the second we needed, it worked, Sal scooped me up in her arms and Jude took us out of there. Just as the firing started up again. But we weren't there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- - - -\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI remember a gurney being wheeled somewhere, and Sal holding me down on it with both hands as I wrestled in pain. Sal's hands were red with my blood, her face worried. Then someone got a very small mask over my feline nose and mouth and I was out...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 18, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267695395065,"sku":"9781393428381","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/kGAg0INPx9781393428381_67e9d6ba-2039-4d62-8a59-bdbc784bf068.webp?v=1768868449","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/hermione-paperback-3","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
