Four days past, Catherine is half grown and so is her sister. Her wound on her leg healed faster, now she can run. Catherine was afraid to go outside ever since Nightmare attacked her. Winter was trying to help face her fear but she can't. Catherine was sleeping. She was having a dream. She was outside, in front of the house. She was playing in the grass. Birds were chirping and the sun was bright. Then all of a sudden fire was around her, burning the trees, grass, and almost part of the house. Catherine saw her mother, standing near the flames. Catherine ran to her and all of a sudden she disappeared. She looked behind her and saw her brother, Nightmare. He started laughing and he disappeared. Catherine looked to her right and saw his father. He was yelling for her. Catherine ran to him and pressed against his fur. He felt warm and all of a sudden he turned cold. Catherine smelled death. She looked up at her father and she saw blood scars all over him. Catherine backed away, frightened. His fur and skin melt to the ground. His bones stand still and then fell to the ground. Her sister was near her and then disappeared. Catherine backed away more and felt someone behind her. She looked behind her and saw a black cat. His eyes were red. He was laughing and then attacked Catherine.
"Catherine!" yowled Winter. Catherine flipped her eyes open. She was in her house. It was a dream but a horrible one. "You were moving in your sleep. Did you have a nightmare?" meowed Winter. Catherine was still afraid of her dream. She was trying to get it out of her head and respond to Winter's question. "Yeah, a horrible one. Mom, you, Nightmare, and father were in my dream", meowed Catherine. Catherine's eyes widened. She remembered the horrible part were her father died. Catherine jumped up. "Where's dad?" questioned Catherine. Winter got worried. "In the living room", meowed Winter.
Catherine ran to the living room. She saw her father sleeping on the floor. Catherine ran to him and press against his fur. She woke her father up. "What's going on?" growled her father. Winter ran to her father. "She had a horrible nightmare. I think it has something of you in her dream that was so bad", meowed Winter. Father was surprised. He got up and pressed against her. She felt warm from his coat. She heard him purring. "Don't worry. Nothing won't happen to me, I promise", meowed her father. Catherine backed away and went to Winter. "Winter there's a lot of stuff I need you to know about my dream. Father was dead, you and the others keep disappearing and then this strange was near me", meowed Catherine.
"What breed?" questioned Winter. Catherine was trying to remember. "I think a domestic cat. A black one. It attacked me", meowed Catherine. Winter was focused on her. "Anything else?" questioned Winter. Catherine sighed. "Flames were all around me, burning everything", meowed Catherine. Catherine didn't say more. Her father walked over to Catherine and Winter. "We should go outside", meowed her father. Catherine was not ready but she has to go outside.
Winter and Catherine were playing tag. At least Winter was not doing any surprise attacks. Catherine was nervous. She thinks that Nightmare could jump out of nowhere and attack. Winter stopped playing. Catherine and Winter were taking some deep breaths. "I'm goanna talk to our father. You stay here", meowed Winter. Winter walked over to her father to talk to him. Catherine walked near the fence. She laid down on the grass. The shadow of the fence was cooling her off. Catherine felt like she was being watched. Catherine a jump and something hit the fence. Catherine looked up and a male black and white cat was on the fence. Catherine jumped up, afraid.
"What do you want?" meowed Catherine. The cat was standing there, looking at her. "Stay away from other cats", he meowed. Catherine was surprised. Her father almost said the same thing. Catherine heard running paw steps. Catherine looked right behind her. She saw Winter and her father running toward Catherine. "Get away!" yowled her father. The cat turned around, jumped off the fence and ran. Her father got right next to Catherine. "Are you all right", meowed her father. Catherine nodded. Winter lick her forehead to comfort her. "Let's get inside", meowed her father.
Catherine and Winter were about to go to sleep but Catherine needed to talk to Winter. "Winter, that cat told me to stay away from other cats", meowed Catherine. Winter looked at her. Winter nodded and went to sleep. "I just hope you understand what I'm going through", meowed Catherine.
The next day was the first time to be out in the front yard. Her father was watching them. Winter was rolling in the grass. Catherine was looking at the sun. A warm touch hit her. Catherine looked at her father. He walked through the house. Catherine felt like she was unprotected. She walked over to her sister. "Did you think of any of the words I said last night", hissed Catherine. Winter got up. "Yes and I think he's right", meowed Winter. Catherine grunted. "But why did he want me to stay away from the other cats", meowed Catherine. Winter was standing there, thinking. Then Catherine smelled something. It was smoke. Catherine heard running footsteps. She saw her owners running out of the house. She looked at Winter. She was frightened by something. Catherine turned around and saw fire coming their way.
"What now?" meowed Winter. Catherine was frightened to speak. Then she saw dogs running to unknown cats and attacking them. Catherine saw the cat that was in her dreams. Winter ran near the house on the porch. Catherine stand her ground. She was started not to be afraid. The black cat walking Catherine and then stopped. He looked at her. "You're not afraid of me. Well, you should be", he meowed. When he attacked her, she closed her eyes and nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw her father pinned him down. He looked at Catherine. "Get your sister and run to the forest", ordered her father. Catherine ran to her sister. "Come on", meowed Catherine. Winter followed and they went in the forest.
They kept on running. There was a long hill that leads to a road. Catherine saw a ditch. Catherine ran to the ditch and went through it. Winter did the same. Catherine still smelled smoke. Catherine looked out of the ditch. She saw little bit of fire. Then there was a shadow. It was her father. She heard a yowl from the distances. Her father ran to left side and she didn't see him. She saw a dark shadow following him. Catherine started to cry of worry. When she couldn't see them, she heard a loud yowl. It was a death yowl.
