Chapter Two
I woke up with a jolt. I had no idea where I was, and was terrified by the fact that someone's arms were around me, and we were moving. I screamed. Macavity began to speak to me softly, and I remembered at last what had happened, though I had no clue as to where he was taking me. I snuggled back into his arms, and closed my eyes. Then I was wide awake. We had to have been walking all night, and as far as I understood, he had been carrying me the whole while. I struggled to get free of his grip.
"What's the matter?", He asked.
"I can walk! You've been carrying me almost since this afternoon, and it has to be at lest three in the morning. I can walk now. I could have walked before. I . . .", I kept on trying to get him to put me down. He finally said, "I like carrying you.", And that startled me into silence. I guess I drifted back to sleep thinking about it, because I woke up to gentle paw across my face. My eye lids fluttered open, and immediately closed again, against the bright light. "Wake up Demeter. We're home." What on earth could he mean by that?
