Chapter 10

"John! Wake up!" Rob meowed. John flailed around. Rob shook him again. "John! Everyone's up and doing things! I've finished my apprentice duties and my lesson!"

John scrambled to his feet. "How long have I slept?" John asked.

"You missed breakfast."

"Ahhh!" John pelted out of the den. He looked at the fresh-kill pile.

Not much prey was left. But Hollyleaf was still eating. John sat by her.

"Good morning, Hollyleaf." John meowed.

"Hi, John." She meowed. She looked really sad.

"Hollyleaf, if it's okay, do you want to go hunting with me?"

Hollyleaf smiled. "Yes, I would." They padded out of the camp and towards the forest.

John heard a rushing sound ahead of him. "What's that noise?" John asked. "It sounds like prey. I'll get it."

"John, no!" Hollyleaf yelled. But it was too late. John leaped towards the bush and disappeared.

Hollyleaf ran through the bush and saw John struggling in a river. "Hollyleaf! Help me!" Hollyleaf jumped in and grabbed John on the neck. "Ouch!" John flinched.

Hollyleaf lost grip and was pushed away. Then Hollyleaf hit a rock that was in the middle of the river.

"Hollyleaf! No!" John transformed and dived. He saw Hollyleaf's limp figure.

John grabbed her and tried to swim to shore. But the river was too fast. Then, he blacked out.

"Uh…" John grumbled. He felt like he had been sleeping on hard rock all day.

He looked around. They were in a cave, with water flowing from the top. In his hands was a limp and bloody Hollyleaf.

"Hollyleaf… are you okay?" John said. "Hollyleaf! Wake up!" Hollyleaf peeked open her eyes. "John… I need water…" She mewed.

"John got to his feet. Even though it hurt to walk, he wouldn't let her die. He carried Hollyleaf to a pool in the back of the cave.

Then he grabbed some moss and put it in the water. He put it over Hollyleaf's mouth, and rung it out. She opened her eyes all the way and smiled. "John… Thank you." John smiled too and said, "It was worth doing it for you." Hollyleaf pushed her muzzle towards his cheek and purred.

"Where are we?" John asked. "I don't know. I don't remember any dark caves being here before." Hollyleaf meowed.

It started to get hotter, and hotter, until John smelled steam. He looked into a cave that was coming up beside them. A bubbling pool was in the middle of the room.

"A hot spring! Look!" Hollyleaf looked in the room. "Amazing!" John took off his shirt, and he jumped in the pool. "Ah…" John sighed. "That's feels great. Oh yeah. Hollyleaf come in!" Hollyleaf looked nervous.

"It's okay… Oh, right. Cats hate water. Just lay over here." He put his hand on the side of the spring. Hollyleaf laid down next to him.

"Yeah, even laying here feels good, like the rock is heated from the water." Hollyleaf meowed. She laid her head against his chest, and John put his hand on her back. "We'll find a way back, I promise." John said.
