When Carlita awoke from her nap she realized that it was dark outside. She sat up and looked around her in bewilderment.
After a few moments, she remembered about what had happened to her and about the old lady. There was a ginger cat sitting on the armchair opposite her. Carlita wondered where the old lady was.
“Oh you are awake, finally,” Carlita heard her voice. The old lady walked into the lounge and sat next to the cat. She began to stroke the cat’s head absently.
“My name is Granny Angelina,” she introduced herself to Carlita with a broad smile.
“I will take care of you while we search for your Mom. Meanwhile, it’s getting late and you must be really hungry, so I’ve made some cottage pie for you. Eat up and then we will go to bed. In the morning we will both be strong enough to find out about how we could look for your mother.”
