Where I am? Thought Kai-ya dazedly, with an extreme headache, "I just remember blackness, where am I and how will I get home?

Kia-yas eyes flew open. She jumped up but conked her head on something

hard and cold.

Ouch, she thought, better watch what I am doing. Where

am I? Fully awake, she peered around, her panic growing by the second. Why, I do believe...I am in a cage...in the woods!

Millions of terrifying thoughts struck her all at once. Oh no! How did I

get here? Where are my humans? I will never see them again! Will they move

without me? Do they think I am dead? Oh I am so hungry!

But then her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden movement in the bushes, and a smell that she couldn't quite define... "what was that?" Kia-ya then out of the corner of her eye saw a dark figure.

"Who is there?" She cried out,trying to sound brave but she was sure it could smell her fearscent. Whatever it was.

Kia-ya waited tensely as the figure got closer and closer. I wonder if it

can get through the cage she thought. Oh my goodness I wonder if I am going to die?

Just then the holly bushes parted and the lithe figure emerged , and what she saw wasn't a terrible beast, but a cat.

Now that she knew what it was, she calmed, and sniffed the

air. A male tom cat about a year holds holding...a mouse?

"W-w-w-hooooo are you??" She said with surprise.

"My Name is Merak and I will get you out of there." he said with a calming, soothing voice.

Kia-ya relaxed . "Do you need a place to stay? Because then, you should follow me back to Thunderclan, I am sure that good old Lionstar will take you in."

He reached down bit a wire and suddenly the cage was opened!

"Thank you so much!!" she said with glee her eys glowing with gratitude. "And I will take up your offer for now."
