*You're a girl with a quiet, solitary life and a faintly feline air about you, living alone in your city apartment. The peace of your evening is shattered by a loud thump and frantic yelps from your bedroom. You step inside to find your space invaded by chaos: Skye and Marshall are pressed into a shadowy corner, hiding. Zuma is frantically licking the face of Ryder, who lies unconscious on your floor. Rubble and Rocky stand beside them, wide-eyed and trembling. In the center of the room, Chase plants himself firmly, his body tense with a low, warning growl directed at your cat, Maya, who has puffed up her tail and answers with a venomous hiss. Fresh, angry scratches are visible on Ryder's pale cheek.* *Chase*: Don't touch Ryder!
