Chapter 26: We Know You're Here

I looked at the place that I saw in front of my eyes, as I knew that it was the place that I had seen in my dream not all too long ago. It was beautiful, as I was not going to lie to my self, but at the exact same time too, I also was not going to lie on the fact that it looked quite a bit scary to look at never the less as well, as I shivered at even the thought of going up on to that very tall hill I saw ahead of me.

It was starting to make sense at the exact same time too, the more that I thought on it, as to why I had not seen any of the cats in the last few dreams. It was not due to the fact that I had whished them to go away, but it was the fact that the place that I was starting at right now, right directly in front of my eyes, was the place that I needed to go to. The sun was staring down at in right now, from the other direction as to where I was looking right now.

It was perfectly in line, as I knew for a fact at this point, that this was the place that I needed to be at, and that this was the place that I needed to go to. I blinked my eyes just a few times, as I then sighed to my self all of the sudden, as I could tell that it was still a bit of some ways to go, as I was not going to let my eyes fool me, as I knew that there was no way I could even get to the bottom of that hill, by the time that night was to fall on me.

I did not want to risk being out during the night, not again, after what it was that had happened last time, as I turned my back behind me, to see how much time I had left in the first place, before I needed to stop my self, and to look for a place for me to stay the night at the exact same time as well. I breathed in just a little bit, as I then let out a bit of a soft sigh, as I knew that I was running a bit low on time.

At the exact same time too, I also knew that I was hungry, and fairly soon from now, all of the prey was going to go out and hide for the night, such as I was soon to do. I have been so lost in my thoughts a lot of the day, as to what it was that I was trying to do, to even notice the fact that I needed to get some thing to eat, as it was usually the first thing that I often liked to do when it was the morning.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts all at once, as I was not all too sure as to what it was that was wrong with me right now, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I knew that I had to keep on going, as I knew that I was wasting a lot of time right now, just thinking to my self. I knew that I was not going to lose the place, but at the same time too, I felt like I still wanted to get to there as soon as I possibly could.

I turned my eyes over to where it was that I could see the bottom of the hill was, not all too far away from me right now, as I knew that I had to hurry, if I wanted to get there, as there was a fairly big field in front of me right now, and if I did not get started right now, than it meant that if I was in that field during the night, than I was easy prey for some thing as strong, and as fast as a pack of coyotes, or wolves.

I nodded to my self, as I felt quite a bit afraid still, as to the fact that I knew that this was the next step in to my new life, and I was not all too sure as to why it was scaring me so much right now. I felt like, I had a lot more to gain than I had to lose at this point, as any thing that I might even have left, was far behind me now, and I was not even sure that when I did lose that, that I would even know that it was the happen any ways.

I breathed in quite a bit heavily, as I then began to walk through the field that was in front of me right now, as I closed my eyes at the exact same time too, remembering just how hungry I was right now, as I could feel my stomach grumbling at this very moment in time, as I knew that I needed to get some food very soon, or else I was going to be even more hungry when I woke up in the morning, and I might not be strong enough to walk, much less strong enough to actually get some food.

I began to sniff the air, as I went in search of some prey. As I sniffed for any near by scents to me, I then began to realize that a lot of the scents that I smelt right now, were rabbits, as it made me feel sick as to the thought of having a rabbit. I had never got to eat one, so I was not all too sure if I would even like the taste of one, but I knew that it was not that, that I was all too worried about.

If I closed my good eye, I could still tell that my other eye was quite a bit blurry to see out of, as it was not all too hard to remember the day that the rabbit had attacked me, and nearly made me lose an eye, as I felt like I was going to die that day, not just the fact that I was worried about losing an eye. I felt like I was about to throw up, at even the thought of trying to go out and catch a rabbit, even if I knew how to catch one, as I had been told.

It just was not worth it, and it was still fresh on my mind as to what had happened last time, as I sighed just a little bit to my self, making sure to not get any where near any rabbits, as I began to sniff the air once again, trying to ignore all of the scents of rabbits, as I began to smell other animals as soon as I ignored those scents, as it felt like it had just simply been in my head, as I smelt closer prey not all too far away from me right now.

It was a prey that I was quite familiar of as well, which made me feel a lot better about the odds that I was going to catch it, and also the fact that it was not going to tear my other eye out. I nodded to my self, as I then opened my eyes all of the sudden, and I looked over in the direction that I had smelt 2 mouses from, not all too far away from me. One of those was a lot closer, but I also knew that it was further behind me, and I was going to lose a lot of a day light time if I was to go after that one.

The other one was a bit on the edge, but I knew that I was not going to lose nearly as much time if I was to go after that one, as I then began to head over to where it was that I had smelt that mouse from, not all too far away from me, as I breathed in quite a bit, trying to ignore all of the rabbits that I saw all over the place right now, and also to make sure that I did not cross paths with any of them at the exact same time too, as I locked my eyes all of the sudden, at the exact same time as well, on the mouse that I saw not all too far away from me at this very moment in time.

A part of me felt a little bit bad for it, as to the fact that it did not know what it was that was coming for it, and also the fact that it was soon to lose its life, as I was fairly good at hunting mice. At the same time too, I did my best to just shake off all of the thoughts all of the sudden as well, as I knew that I could not dwell on it, as I knew that it was just the normal cycle of life, for a mouse to live for a little while, and then soon to be caught and killed by a cat, or some other animal never the less as well.

I also knew that I needed to eat, and I would die if I did not get some thing to eat, as I then let out a bit of a heavy sigh all of the sudden, as I then stopped my self, before I got too close to it, and it noticed me. I then began to get in to a bit of the hunting stance that I had been told to get in to by Night, and a lot better by Frank, as I made sure that the mouse was not going to notice me at all, as I began to draw my self closer and closer to it.

This time, just as I had not done when it came to the rabbit not all too long ago, I made sure that I was paying attention to where it was that I was going, so that I did not trip and fall on some thing, and I did not scare the mouse away. I stopped my self as I got as close as I could to it, before it would notice me, as I licked my lips all of the sudden at the same time as well, as I remembered just how hungry I was.

I could not wait to eat this mouse... I blinked just a few times, as I shook off all of those thoughts all at once, as it almost felt like I was not breathing at all right now. I sighed just a little bit to my self, and I then all of the sudden jumped at the mouse at the exact same time too, with out any sort of hesitation, as it did not even have a chance to move away from me at all. I smiled just a bit to my self all at the exact same time too, as I was happy, and I was pleased with my self.

I really was starting to notice that I was getting better and better with all of this never the less. I looked at the mouse that I had caught for just a few moments, as I was tempted to pick it up and carry it to the place that I was going to stay the night at, but I also realized that it might be a bad decision for me to do some thing such as that as well, as I knew that if I brought any sort of scent of blood with me during the night, than a lot of animals were going to be all over that scent.

I sighed just a bit to my self, as I looked at the sun behind me, as I could see that it was dipping low in to the ground, as it was no longer available for me to see, due to the fact that there were a bunch of trees guarding the sun right now. I sighed just a bit to my self, as I knew that if I was fast, than I would not have to worry about it at all, as I then began to bite in to the mouse at the exact same time as well.

I winced a bit, as it was a little bit stringy at the same time too, as it was a bit hard for me to eat. It was for sure no where near as good as the mice that I got to eat at, when I was in the barn with Owl and Frank. I felt a bit sick as to the thought that I was thinking back on them at the exact same time too, as I knew that at some point I had to get over it, as I knew that I should not drown my self in those thoughts for the rest of my life.

How many times I had been tempted to go back there though how ever, as I sighed at even the thought of all of that. I knew that I could not do so, as I had gone far enough as it was so far. There was no way that I could find my way back at this point, even if I was to try, as I had gone too far now, and it was a waste of time. I was not all too sure as to why I was even thinking on all of those thoughts right now any ways.

As I finished the last bite of my nasty mouse, I then turned my head over to where it was that I could see on the other side of me, as it was the big hill that I had been told to go to in the dreams of the sun trail. What was I even thinking on right now? I felt like a bit of an idiot, for thinking of going back once again, as I knew that I was so close to getting to the place that I had been told to go to in my dreams.

Plus, Frank had told me that I needed to go there, back when he was still alive that night for one thing, and also the fact that even in death, it was clear that he had not changed his mind. I had done all that I could to help his son, as I knew that he was going to be fine, and that there was nothing that I needed to worry about in that kit at this point, as I then nodded to my self, and I then began to head over to the bottom of the hill, where the trees began to grow once again.

I noticed that it was starting to get a little bit dark out at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I needed to hurry too, if I wanted to get there whilst it was still safe, and it was not dark enough for all of the spooky creatures to be out just yet. I nodded to my self all at the exact same time too, as I then began to go faster and faster by each second, as I smiled to my self at the exact same time too, realizing just how fast it was that I was going right now.

Even if my body was aching, and I was in fact quite a bit worn out, I was going faster than I had ever gone before, and faster than I had ever imagined a cat even being able to go never the less, as well, as I kept on going, not stopping a single bit to even think on what it was that was going on, as I had my eyes on the prize right now, which was of course, the line of trees that I saw not all too far away, as I knew that was my safe place to stay for the night.

I knew that, as uncomfortable as it was for me, the best place for me to stay the night at, at this point, was on top of a strong branch of a tree, as I knew that it was going to keep be safe from what ever it was that might go after me in the middle of the night for one thing, but also the other was that it was quick and easy for me to find one of those places at the same time too, as I knew I would waste me time if I hoped to search for a better place.

I knew that at this time of the season as well, it was darker a lot more during the day, so the aching body that I would wake up to, would be helped by the fact that I had got a lot more sleep that I normally did, as I then shook off those thoughts all at the exact same time too, as I then stopped my self right in front of the line of trees that was right in front of me right now, as I was lucky that they were not pine trees, as I knew that it was nearly impossible to find strong branches on those.

These trees were oak trees, luckily enough for me, as I let out a bit of a sigh of relief all of the sudden, as I then began to look all around me, so that I could find a strong tree branch that was not all too far away from me, and also not too high up on the ground, to where I would not be able to reach it, but also not too low, as to where other animals would be able to grab me down from there in the middle of the night.

I continued to look for quite a bit of some time, as I could see that it was getting darker and darker by each passing moment, as I then stopped my self, and I stared at a strong tree branch that looked perfect as to what it was that I had been looking for in the very first place any ways, as I then smiled to my self all of the sudden, as I then began to head over to it, relieved that I had a safe place for me to sleep at for the night.

I began to walk over to the strong branch that was in front of me, as I shivered at the exact same time too, for some odd reason or another, as it felt oh so cold. I was not all too sure as to what it was that I was doing right now, as I shook off all of those thoughts at the exact same time too, as I stared at the branch that was right in front of me for just a few moments. It then all of the sudden seemed to come back to me all at the exact same time too.

I nodded to my self, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to what it was that I should do at this very moment in time. I blinked a few times, as I then stared up at the sky, as if that was going to give me any sort of answers that would help me right now. Well, of course, though I did not think that it would help me, it some how did in fact actually help me, as I saw that it was in fact dark out right now, and that the moon was up in the sky, as it was the only light to see.

I then remembered as to what it was that I had to do, as I then looked at the branch all at once, as I then breathed in a bit heavily at the exact same time too, and I then began to run all of the sudden, as at the last second, I jumped up in to the air, as this branch was a lot easier to land on than the other ones had been for me, even with the fact that my body was sore, and that my body had been aching quite a bit today.

Once I made a soft landing, with out having to worry about falling at all, I then felt a lot more safe, as I looked all around me at the exact same time as well, as I then saw that it was empty, and that nothing was out to get me right now, such as I had thought there might be not all too long ago. Of course, I had just got on to the branch at the perfect time how ever, as I knew that those evil creatures would soon be coming after me.

Luckily enough for me how ever, I was on top of this branch, and I was safe enough for the night, as I smiled just a little bit at the exact same time too, and I then began to close my eyes as well, as I felt a lot more safe all of the sudden, now that I knew that I was on a tall branch, and no creatures could hunt me during the night. I nodded to my self, as after I realized that, it really did not take me all that long to get some rest.

It was cold, where I was at, which was not a surprise to me at all right now, as I knew that the warm season was over with, and that very soon from now, it soon would be snowing, which was one of the first things that I had remembered when I was a young kit, as it kind of hurt me to even think back on those kind of memories at the exact same time too, as I knew that as much as I really did not like two legs all that much, there were still some good memories of the two leg place that I had once lived at.

I sighed a bit, as right now, it felt a lot colder than it normally did, even at this time in the season, as I shivered just a bit, and I then opened my eyes all of the sudden, at the exact same time as well, as I then began to notice that once again, just like it normally had been in all of my dreams, I was not in the place that I had slept in last night, as it let me know that I had not woken up, and that I still was in fact of course, in a dream.

I wish I could have that with me through out my entire dream, as my memory seemed to fizzle away from me in just a swish in the wind. I wish that I could have that in my nightmares never the less as well, as I hated it when I was in those. I hoped that I was not in a nightmare tonight, though I felt kind of safe right now, as I felt like I really did not have to worry about that at all, due to the fact that it was not the night time, and I usually had my nightmares in the night time.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I did in fact notice that it was not the night of course, but that was not the only thing how ever, as I also noticed at the exact same time as well, as to where it was that I was at, right at this very moment in time as I was quite a bit surprised to see as to where I was. This had to be the place right? I could not tell, as the place that I had seen just last evening, had been very tall, and it was hard to see up at the top, but I saw that I still had a fair distance to go up.

Also the fact was too, not only that, but as I turned my head around, I saw that it was a fair ways down, and I felt a bit sick just looking down on all of that, if I was not going to lie to my self never the less as well. I shivered, as I got my eyes away from what it was that I saw that was behind me, as I instead felt a lot more safe as to the fact that I was looking up at the top, as I saw that there was a cliff in front of me right now. I squinted my eyes at the cliff, as it felt like there was some thing that was trying to tell me that there was some thing that was important about the cliff that I was looking up at right now.

I just was not all too sure as to what it was that it could be, as I tilted my head a little bit, trying to see as to what it was that was up at the top of that. I then squinted my eyes at it, to try to get a little bit of a better view as to what it was that I needed to see. That was when I spotted just what it was that I needed to see of course, as I saw that there was a cat at the very top of that cliff that I was looking up on right at this very moment in time.

I blinked my eyes just a few times, as I was quite a bit shocked by it none the less, as I then stared at it for a little bit longer, as I then noticed that the cat was not just any normal cat, but it was the same cat that I had been seeing in my dreams a lot as of late. That was of course, Stoneteller, as I stared at the cat right in to his eyes, as I saw that he had a bit of a strange smile on his face for some odd reason or another.

I was a little bit lost by it, if I was not going to lie, as I just kept my eyes squinted at the cat at the top of the cliff, as neither of us said a word. There was no reason to either, as even if one of us was to try, the other one was not going to have a chance at all too hear it, unless you were to perhaps screech at the top of your lungs, which would hurt it felt like quite a bit, and at the same time too, it still would be far too hard to hear exactly what it was that they were saying due to that.

I sighed a little bit, as it seemed like we were having a bit of a staring contest, as it felt like I was a kit again right now, even though the cat that I saw in front of me had to live several life times past a normal cat, as his fur seemed to have a color at some point, but it now looked to simply all be grey and white now, as the color had gone away over time. I rolled my eyes a bit, as I was about to give up at first, until I then saw a smile then pop up on the face of the old tom cat.

I was not all too sure as to what it was that had made him smile, but just seeing a cat happy always put a smile on my own face, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I knew that I was not hardly ever all too much of a happy cat, but seeing that another cat was in fact happy, always just seemed to move that same energy over to me. I breathed in quite a bit heavily, as I did my best to regain control over my self at the exact same time too, as I then blinked a few times all at once.

That was when, he was just, gone... I had not a clue as to where it was that he could have gone, mainly due to the fact that I did not know what was at the top of the cliff. I felt a bit sick all at the exact same time too, as I did not have a single clue as to just what it was that was even going on right now, if I was going to be completely honest with my self never the less, as I then shook my head, turning my head around at the exact same time too, as if I expected a cat all of the sudden to just appear out of no where, and speak to me, such as it happened in a lot of my dreams.

How ever, what I expected to happen, did not happen at all sadly, as I saw thing behind me at all, which made a few chills go down my spine, as I was quite a bit freaked out, as I did not have a clue as to just what it was that was going on at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways. I sighed just a little bit to my self, as I turned my head back up to the top of the hill, as that was what felt like where my eyes should be at, right now.

Of course I was right, as I saw movement at the top, but this time it was not Stoneteller that I saw, as this time I instead saw 3 cats, all varied in all different age ranges. Not one of them was really all that old, but none of them were a small little kit either, as I saw that the one in the middle, and also at the front of all of that, was one of the most beautiful cats that I had ever seen in my life.

What made her even more beautiful as well, was the big smile that she had on her face, as I could not help but to light up a little bit of a smile on my own face at the exact same time too. I breathed in a bit of a heavy sigh all at once, as I was tempted to walk over to the cat, even though she was a fair distance away right now, so it would not matter. As I moved a bit, I then realized that I could not move at all, and sadly I was stuck with where it was that I was at right now.

I dipped my head a bit low to the ground, as I was disappointed with the fact that I was not able to move at all right now, as I really wanted to go over to that cat, and try to talk to her before some other tom cat had the chance to steal her away from me. I was feeling a little bit low right now, but I kept my head up, as I could not help but to stare at the beautiful face, and the beautiful eyes that were ahead of me right now, as I tried to get her attention.

Sadly, that was not the case at all for me how ever, as I knew that I could not move at all for one thing, but also the other thing just so happened to be the fact that she had her eyes on some thing else right now, as I also saw the smile on her face all of the sudden disappear, as it was clear that she was now a little bit worried, and perhaps a little bit scared right now as well, which I was a little bit worried for the cat as to what it was that it could be, even though I did not know that cat at all.

I tilted my head a little bit, as I then blinked my eyes at the exact same time too, not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do right now, as I knew that I really could not do any thing at all, sadly enough. I blinked my eyes a few times, but that was where I had all of the sudden made a bit of a big mistake, as I knew that even the slightest bit of closing my eyes, would wake me up from my dream, which was of course what just so happened to happen this time.

I blinked my eyes as soon as I had woke up, as I then let out quite a bit of a hurt sigh as well, as I was a bit disappointed as to the fact that I had lost the pretty cat that I had seen in my dream, and that she was gone now. I felt some sort of special connection with that cat for some odd reason or another, that words could not even describe, as I was not all too sure as to what it was that had all of the sudden seemed to happen to me, and seemed to make my heart stop a bit never the less, as well.

But it did not matter any more, as the dream was over, and I had lost any sort of chance that I had of talking to that cat, though I was fairly certain that I was not going to be able to talk to her no matter what, just due to the fact that I was stuck in the spot that I had been in, meaning that if she had even gone any sort of close to me, I felt like I was not going to be able to say any thing at all to her either, sadly enough.

I sighed, as I did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts all at once as well, as I knew that it did not matter all too much to me at all, due to the fact that I knew that it was just a dream, and that surely, none of it could have been real at all, right? I really was not all too certain if I was going to be completely honest with my self how ever, as so far, a lot of my dreams had in fact come true, like it or not.

I hoped that this dream was one of those dreams that I would like of course how ever, as a bit of a smile popped up on my face, at the exact same time too, as I did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts all at once as well, as I kept my focus on what it was that was going on around me right now, as I then all of the sudden realized that I was on top of a very large, and quite a bit of a strong tree branch right now.

Not only that, but it was also early in the morning as well, as it still looked to be quite a bit dark out, which still kind of scared me, as I knew what had happened last time I had been out in the actual wild, when it had just so happened to be dark out, as the memory was still fresh on my mind, as I shivered just a bit, just at even the thought of any of that, as it still did freak me out quite a bit.

I sighed, as I then shook off all of those thoughts all at once as well too, how ever, as I got my focus right back on to what it was that I was doing, and why I was even here in the very first place any ways. I blinked my eyes a few times all of the sudden, as it all came back to me all at once, as I then all of the sudden started to feel all of the aching that was all around my body right now, as it hit me just how much I had been walking over the last nearly moon up to this point it felt like.

I closed my eyes, as it looked to be almost as dark with my eyes closed as it was out side right now, as I was still a bit worried if it was a good idea as to the fact that I should go out side right now. I breathed it quite a bit, as I knew that there was probably not any of the creatures out right now, mainly due to the fact that they did not like to be out in the light at all, and the sun was rising right now, though it might only just be a slight bit, it was still enough to see that it was the early morning.

I also knew that the sun was not out nearly as much around this time of the year either, as I was fairly certain that if I did not get started sooner or later, than I might have to spend another night out in the wild, which was the last thing that I wanted at this point, as I really almost wanted to be back at the barn if I was not going to lie to my self, as I knew that those hay bales felt very good to sleep on in the night as well.

I shook off those thoughts how ever, as I shook my head, knowing that it was not a good idea to keep thinking back on the barn at this point, as I knew that I had left it in the past, like it or not, when I had decided to follow the sun trail that I had been told to go down in all of my dreams. I felt like I had to do as such a thing, as much as I felt like I did not want to, as I knew that I had a good, and a safe home back at the barn with Owl.

This was my destiny though, and this was where it was that I was meant to be how ever, like it or not, as I then all of the sudden got my eyes back on what it was that I was doing right now, as I then opened them. It was a little bit brighter out now, as I felt like it was a lot safer to go ahead and start to head out, up the hill that I needed to get to the top of. I knew that I could not let my eyes decieve me either, as I knew that it was a long ways to the top of it.

I nodded to my self, as I then all of the sudden jumped down from the branch that I had slept on last night, as I knew that I had better get this started sooner rather than later. Once I was down, I looked as to where it was that the sun was trying to take me, as I felt like a bit of an idiot for doing so, as it was clear that the hill that was ahead of me was where I needed to be. At least, that was what I had hoped, as I felt worn out as it was already, and I just wanted to have this extra long journey end now at this point.

I blinked my eyes just a few times, as I knew it was going to be quite a bit hard trying to go up that tall hill, as I knew that it was going to wear me out a fair bit. I breathed in quite a bit heavily, as I knew that I had to get over it how ever, as I then that this was what I needed to do, and I was not going to let any thing stop me from doing as such a thing at this point now, as I then began to head over to where it was that I needed to go, clearing out all of those thoughts from my head, as I knew that it was better that way, as time would go by a lot faster if I let that be the case, as it did in fact do as such.

Well, I did have my mind cleared of my thoughts for most of the day of course, but at this point, I just wanted to give up now, as it felt like my body was ready to give up on me now, as I was ready to just fall down, close my eyes, and call it a night. It felt like I had barely even started on this trek up the mountain, even if I could look up, and clearly tell that I had gone a fair ways up, and there was not much later to the top.

The sad part was how ever, was the fact that I had gone a fair ways up, but I did not see any thing that I recognized at all from the dream, which was starting to tell me more and more as to the fact that this might not be the hill that I needed to go up, and the hill that I needed to be at could still be a long ways away from where it was that I was at right now, sadly enough, as I just wanted to lay down and cry, as it was really feeling like all of this was a bad idea at this point.

I knew that it was not at all how ever, as I knew that I just needed to keep on going no matter what the case was for me, as I then breathed in just a bit, and I then looked above me, ready to keep on going now. I knew that it was going to be rough, and I had thought that I was ready for it, but clearly I had not been, as I clearly had not known just how hard this was going to be for me either.

I knew that I had to keep on going, but it was just oh so hard. I wiped a tear from my face, as I felt like I had made a lot of bad choices up to this point, but this might have been the worst choice that I had made, out of all of the choices that I had through out my miserable life as a kitty pet. That was what I was of course... I was a kitty pet like it or not, as I knew that I was going to have that in my head for the rest of my life, that I was simply just a measly little kitty pet, and I could do nothing that a normal wild cat could do.

I shook off all of those thoughts all at once, at the exact same time too, as I knew that those were not the thoughts that I needed to be thinking on in my head right now, as I knew that I just needed to keep on going on, as hard as it might be for me, as I blinked my eyes, not even daring to look at the top of the hill that was above me right now, as I knew that no matter what the case was at this point, I knew that I needed to keep on trying.

I had a bit of a sad smile on my face, as that was of course exactly what it was that I did, as I did my best to try to not focus on any thing else, as I had done a fairly good job up to this point in this day, to make sure that I did not think on any thing at all. I felt a bit sick, which I was not all too sure as to why that might be, as I then stopped my self, for not the first time today, as I was a bit worried about my self.

I knew that I had to regain my self before I could keep on going on with my day, and if I did in fact feel sick, I knew that I did not want to push my self too hard, as I knew that it meant that I might have to stop for quite a bit of some time, which would slow me down a lot and it would be quite a bit of a hindrance on me, as I wanted to just fall asleep at this point, even though I new that I was not even half way through the day at this point.

I had to keep on fighting, as I turned my head back to the top of the hill, and I squinted my eyes at it, before I then all of the sudden nodded to my self, and I then kept on going, not letting any of it stop me... Well that was of course, when I then all of the sudden heard some thing from not all too far away from me, that did in fact stop me, not just on the spot, but it made my heart stop none the less, as well.

It was foot steps, and not just any, that might be of a squirrel, or a mouse, but it was the foot steps of a cat. At first I was glad as to the fact that I had heard foot steps, but the more that I thought on it, the more that I realized that I should not be excited, as I had in fact been told a lot of stories as to what it was that rogues were like out in the wild, as I then quickly hid behind a rock, making sure that my own foot steps were not too loud.

I stood there for quite a bit of some time, as I sniffed the air, smelling quite a few cats right now, meaning that if I did in fact get in to a bit of a fight with them, odds are I would not make it out in one piece, as I really did not know how to fight at all, if I was going to be completely honest with my self as well, as I did my best to just hide behind the rock that was right beside me, and make sure that I was not spotted at all right at this very moment in time.

It seemed to do a decent job, as I then heard the cats continue to get closer and closer to me, but I then realized that it might not be a good thing how ever, as I then all of the sudden heard the foot steps stop. My heart stopped, as I gulped quite a heavy gulp, that felt like you could hear it from the other side of the world. I shook my head, as I felt like a bit of an idiot due to that fact as well, as I then all of the sudden heard a she cat begin to speak.

I blinked my eyes, as at first I wondered if it was just speaking to the other cats that it was with, as that was what I had hoped that it was doing, but sadly that was not the case at all, as I realized right away, that the cat knew that I was with it right now, as I dipped my head a bit low to the ground, as I felt quite a bit sick, and quite a bit scared, as I then listened as to what it was that she cat had to say to me in the very first place any ways.

"Come out cat... We know that you are here..."
