Chapter 4

Zeg ran along the abandoned streets. The sun had set almost an hour ago… And the boy had been unconscious for at least 30 minutes. He had taken a nasty hit on the head when he had fallen and hit a pipeline. He seemed so familiar, it was strange. She shook the thought off and kept going.
Zeg rounded a corner and stopped behind a large turquoise house. That was a strange color for a house. And with a purple roof, too. Hm. Zeg lifted the cat's face to eye level.
"Ecou, why did you talk to him?" She whispered quietly, the question aimed more at herself than her friend.
The cat looked past Zeg. It almost seemed to be ignoring her.
"…What's wrong?" She asked turning to see what the cat was looking at. She froze. The houses lawn gnomes… Were moving?
"What the…?" But before she could finish, a lazer had knocked her to the ground, unconscious.
