Hello. Here's the next chapter. Again, thank you for the reviews and telling me what I should add. Thank you very much! Arigato!

Plato slowly opened his eyes just to see a worried Victoria, looking at him.
"Plato! You're finally awake!" she said, relieved. Plato looked around and realized that he was at Jennyanydots' den. He looked at Victoria who was looking at him. "Why am I here?" he asked, sitting up, but he immediately felt the pain in his wounds as he grunted and lied down.
Victoria placed her paw on his chest. "You should rest for a while. You were brought here and Jennyanydots cured you, you'll be ok." Victoria said, showing the sign of worry in her eyes. Plato nodded as he tried to remember what happened.
"If that's the case, let's get her!" they said as they pushed Victoria, she fell down on her back rather hard. "Victoria!" Jemima cried, tears were now rolling down her cheeks. They were about to attack Victoria to death, when suddenly a teenage male cat came. It was Plato. "I won't let you touch her!" he said angrily as he attacked the pollicles. He managed to defeat them, but he's filled with bloody wounds. He fell down as Victoria and the others ran towards them. The first one he saw was Victoria. "Plato?! Are you alright?! Don't worry! We'll bring you to Jennyanydots!" Victoria said, her eyes filled with worry. His sight became blurry as he fainted.
He blinked twice as he looked at Victoria. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" Plato asked nervously as Victoria shook her head. "Don't worry. I'm fine" she said, smiling gently at him.
"Thanks for saving me Plato." Victoria said shyly, showing a hint of blush. Plato nodded. "No problem" he said.

Jemima waited patiently outside the den of Jennyanydots with Etcy.
"This is my entire fault. If only I didn't take those hotdogs, those pollicles would leave us alone" Jemima said, feeling guilty as tears rolled down her cheeks. Etcy gave her a comforting smiled as she patted Jemima's back.
"Don't worry. It's not your fault. These things really happen" Etcy said, smiling at Jemima as Jemima nodded, sobbing. "I hope Plato is ok" Jemima said. She can still feel the guilt that she put her sister and friends lives in danger that she couldn't stand it. She felt so guilty. She felt like her heart kept being pounded by a hammer every time she thinks about what happened a while ago.
She touched her chest as she cried. She felt Etcy's paw rubbing softly her back. "There, there. No need to cry. There's nothing to cry about. It's not your fault" Etcy said.
They heard soft footsteps as they turned around to see Victoria. Jemima wiped her tears and ran towards Victoria.
"Is he ok? Plato? He's ok right?" Jemima asked nervously. Victoria nodded as Jemima smiled and sighed in relief. At least they made it to reach Jennyanydots before he bled to death.
"He's resting now, so it's best if we shouldn't bother him now" Victoria said as Jemima nodded. It was finally getting dark. "I'd better go home. If I come home late at night, my mom will flip" Etcy said as she ran off.
Victoria sighed as she sat down on the floor, her eyes filled with sadness. Jemima was about to leave when she realized that Victoria was now depressed. She decided to sit down with her as she hugged her knees close to her chest.
"Victoria, are you okay?" Jemima asked, showing worry in her voice. Victoria shook her head; tears began to escape from her eyes.
"Why are you crying?" Jemima asked, sitting closer to Victoria.
"I just feel so guilty towards Plato. I mean, he's been flirting me for days now, and I've always been rude to him. I thought that he's just like Tugger, getting the girl he want and the next thing you know, he left her. I didn't know that Plato loved me that much that he would risk his life to save me" Victoria said, feeling guilty.
Jemima knew how she felt. She too, feels guilty towards Plato. She hugged Victoria gently as she gave her a smile. "Don't worry, things will go fine" Jemima said, although she wasn't sure.
"Jemima! Dinner's ready!" Demeter called as Jemima nodded. She looked at Victoria worriedly. "Are you gonna be ok here?" Jemima asked. Victoria nodded as Jemima left.
Later at night, Jemima couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with worries. If Plato is ok, if Victoria is ok, her mind is filled with worries. She sighed as she slowly sat up, aware that she might wake her parents. She left her den as she climbed on top of they're den. She stared at the moon as she breathed in the air.
"Moon, please help me. Help me stay calm" Jemima thought as she closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and started singing a soft tune:
"Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower, and the rose that is fading. Roses withered away. Like the sunflower, I yearn to turn my face to the door. And I'm waiting for the day……"
She sang. Her eyelids began to feel heavy. She tried to stay awake, but her eyelids betrayed her and went off to dreamland.

"Jemima?"
…………
"Jemima?"
……………
"JEMIMA!"
Jemima suddenly opened her eyes just to see Etcy, smiling at her brightly,
"Good morning sleepy head!" Etcy said, giggling. Jemima rubbed her eyes as she stood up. She realized she fell asleep on top of her den. "Why are you sleeping here?" Etcy said as Jemima yawned.
"I can't sleep well last night and I went here to have some fresh air. I guess I felt sleepy all suddenly" Jemima said, stretching her arms. Etcy giggled. "Good thing you can sleep here. I can't sleep outside of my den because I would dream Tugger being with Bombalurina! That's just torture!" Etcy said as Jemima laughed lightly.
Jemima hopped down as she saw that all the cats were now awake. "Am I the last one awake?" Jemima asked as Etcy shook her head.
"No. Misto is still asleep. Bustopher Jones said that Misto doesn't want to sleep because he's been researching about something. He's saying that he's feeling an evil presence I think… I don't know… I wasn't listening" Etcy said as she walked along with Jemima.
"Wanna have breakfast at my home?" Etcy asked as Jemima nodded.
Just then, Jemima stopped. She heard a voice inside her mind.
"Hello Jemima, how are you?" a voice whispered in her head.
"What? Is this my conscious?" Jemima thought.
"No Jemima. This is Sillabub, you're other part"
"My other part? What do you mean?"
"I'm the evil you"….
