It was chilly and dark. Nadiah flipped over on hr stomach and stared at the clock The numbers 9:45 glowed back at her in bold red letters.

She sighed and got to her feet.

She gently shook the Black cat sleeping by her feet.

"Jingle Wake up."

Nadiah didn't know why she was getting up.

It was totally pointless anyway. Wherever her cat went every couple of nights was none of her business…although…

"It tonight the night?" Nadiah crouched down by the now stretching Jingle.

"Are you gonna show me where you go tonight?"

Jingle mewed shrilly and bumped heads with Her friend.

Giggling, Nadiah got up and stood over at her closet.

She quickly put on her most comfortable pair a jeans and a blue sweater over her too big t-shirt.

She opened the door. "Lets go."

She sighed. The remembering, she turned back.

"Almost forgot my book!"

She grabbed her Warriors Book from her desk and ran out the door.

"Ill let you know, I'm coming with you. You can try all the fancy tricks you want to. I'm coming and that's that."

She lectured the tuxedo cat as she locked the front door. I'm glad I wore my Jacket! Nadiah thought, flinching at the freezing wind.

Nadiah turned around. Jingle was gone. "Darn Cat!"

She muttered. "Never mind! I don't need her! I'll go look for myself!" Ignoring her common sense, Nadiah took a deep breath, and stepped into the forest.
