Author's Note: You know what we are doing now... collecting spirit grapes across the desert! Sounds fun doesn't it! Not if you were Kathy. Anyway, this might take about... 1 chapter. I'll begin. Of course I hope you remember this will be only Kathy's point of view for the time being, but don't worry, you'll get your other P.o.v's back soon! Anyway, time to start this chapter!


How would I find 100 spirit grapes? Of course I have to be small to make it worse. If I was bigger it would be easier to collect like, 5 in a footstep. All I see is sand and a bustle of sand coming my way... wait a second... that's a sandstorm! I got to find a stone or rock or anything to protect, I'd kill myself by digging a hole, because I could get buried alive!

I ran as fast as I could on my two small legs to a small puddle in front of me, if I were to go around, I wouldn't make it in time. So I dove in and swam as fast as I could to the other side, the sand storm coming nearer and nearer. When it was upon me, I sprinted right into the hole of the hollow rock and waited. Hopefully it was bigger than it seemed, like, the rest of it under the sand. So I slipped in a bit more, and waited five whole minutes for it to end.

Even though it seemed like hours, it was only second before the sand cleared up, to show hundred of red, blue and green lights coming either from the sky or ground. Those must be the spirit grapes. I got out from my hiding place and began sprinting around the puddle. Which was now like one footstep big. It was clean water, but I had no choice. I took a few drinks before continuing.

I approached the first grape and touched it. It shimmered in the light for a few seconds before stopping. Suddenly, the scenery around me disappeared. And I was in a plain white room. It faded again, and I continued to the next one. I had collected 10 in about 2 minutes. It was getting easier and easier. Or at least, I thought. The vision began to get outlined and colored in. All I needed was 30 more grapes, but they were nowhere to be seen. Abruptly, a crow swooped down and almost ate me. I realized that there was 30 crows including the one that tried to eat me, and each one...had a grape tied to its neck!

Before the other one was able to fly off, I grabbed a feather and clung for dear life.

...3 hours and 21 grapes later...

This is taking forever. I still can't find the last 9 grapes. For one, most of the crows didn't have a grape around their neck. I was just getting...delusional.

I was gliding down from the sky with the crows rings that I took. It was kind of like a hot air balloon. Besides that it ran on wind and hot air, not fire. I was in the air, when I noticed something funny. A hand was sticking out of the sand. And in the middle, there was a grape. I took the air out of the crow feathers and landed on the sand.

I walked up to it and touched it. A bright beam of light surrounded me, and I was dropped into a hole of darkness...

Some time later...

I opened my eyes to see a small red light. It danced in circles around me.

"What on Din?" I said to no one. The light stopped dancing, and jumped about two hops from me. I stood up and followed.

For what seemed like hours watching the small light lead me. I came into a brighter place. There was five cats, each of the had a grape tied to their collar. When they saw me, they scattered, and the light went out. I looked in the reflection of the water and noticed I was my normal height again, thank goodness, or those cats might kill me.

"Now how am I supposed to catch them all if I don't have any bait? Or a trap?" I questioned myself.

This was going to be a long day.


Author's Note: Cutting this chapter short. Did anyone notice that went offline for about 5 minutes around 10 this morning? I did, because I was trying to write this story :( Anyway, we're almost done this very tiring and in my case, a little boring part about collecting grapes (I'd rather eat 'em).
