I yawned. It was 8:50.
I put on my pajamas and went to bed.
I was asleep before my face even hit the pillow.
I snored loudly.
Meanwhile, Thea and a man named Nick noticed it was late.
"Let's go home," Nick said. Thea nodded.
As they scampered away they heard a growl. "Midnight," Thea and Nick gasped together.
They ran all the way home.
Somewhere else, Petunia and Trap were also heading home. They also heard the growl.
"Let's go quickly," Trap said. It was too late. Midnight and the other cats had noticed them.
They ducked to avoid a swipe.
Trap looked up. Stripe looked down on him. His red eyes seemed to glow in the nighttime.
Trap and Petunia ran. The cats chased after them. Trap was nearly crushed under Stripe's paw.
Trap stopped to stick out his tongue at Stripe. Suddenly a paw knocked him down. Trap looked up. Etta stood over him. The single stripe on her head seemed to glow blue under the moon.
Trap got up and ran.
I woke up, hearing Trap and Petunia's screams.
"Trap?" I said. "Petunia?"
The screams grew louder.
I jumped out of bed and ran to find the source of the screams.
Trap and Petunia were surrounded.
Midnight snickered. She extracted her claws.
Then she heard a yell. She turned around.
I swung from a vine, yelling like Tarzan.
I kicked Etta in the face. The cat barely flinched.
She swiped at me.
I dodged.
I reached for Trap. Trap grabbed my hand. Petunia grabbed his hand. We swung away.
Midnight shook her right fist at me.
We swung into my home.
We gasped for air.
"What the heck were you doing out there?" I asked.
"Hiking," Petunia said. "But after what happened tonight, I ain't staying out too long again."
"Is there any chance we can sleep in your house?" Trap said.
"And you call me a scaredy mouse," I sighed. "Okay."
"Thanks, cousinkins," Trap said.
Trap slept on the sofa, and me and Petunia slept on the bed.
