Chapter 4
When Olivia woke up the next morning, Iracebeth was still asleep. "I'll go ahead and make breakfast anyway." Olivia thought. She went to the kitchen and got two bowls from the cupboard, then she got out some oatmeal mix. She made peach for herself and strawberry for Iracebeth. Olivia just thought she looked like someone that would like strawberries.
She picked up the bowls and slowly made her way back to the room. Iracebeth was waking up by the time Olivia got back. "Good morning!" Olivia said. "I made breakfast." She handed a bowl Iracebeth, who was now sitting up. "Thanks." she said, then started eating. "How did you know I like strawberries?" she asked. Olivia smiled. "Lucky guess." she said.
When they finished eating, Olivia just put the bowls on her nightstand. "I'll take them to the kitchen later." she said. "Wanna take a walk?" Iracebeth didn't really want to go back into the forest. She hadn't told Olivia about Stayne. "I'll go on the walk, but it won't be a long one." she told herself. "Sure." she said, aloud. Olivia walked to the open window and climbed out. "I use the window so I don't bother my mom by using the front door." she explained. " Her mom must be a real bitch." Iracebeth thought to herself. She just smiled at Olivia and followed her out the window.
They weren't very far into the woods when they heard a soft, faint "meow". Olivia walked up to a bush and moved the leaves around. Inside, she found a small, orange kitten that was stuck. "Aw." she said. "Racie, can you help me?" Iracebeth walked over to Olivia and asked what she could do. "Just hold the leaves apart so I can get him out." Iracebeth did what she was told and Olivia freed the kitten.
Olivia looked at her and Iracebeth's hair, then at the kitten's reddish- orange fur. "Man, a few more gingers and we'd be a family of Weasley's." she joked. Iracebeth didn't get it, but she didn't mind and laughed anyway. "It must be a joke between non-Underlandians." she thought. "I'm going to name him Fred." Olivia stated firmly, as the kitten purred in her arms.
They headed back to the house and made the cat a bed. Soon, it was 9:00 and they both started getting ready for bed. Fred curled up in his, and Iracebeth and Olivia got in theirs. They said goodnight, Fred meowed, and they all fell asleep.
