Chapter 2

"Well, we better get to climbing," Max sighed and walked over to the first ledge.

"Drew? Are you ok?" May asked as she looked over at Drew.

He stood there as though he was frozen.

"Drew?" May asked again.

"Huh? Oh...yah May?" He looked at her as if he'd been in a daze.

"I said, are you ok?"

"Oh, uh, yah I'm fine. Max is right, lets get going..." Drew started walking over to the ledge, but May wasn't convinced. She sighed, knowing that's all she would get out of him, and followed him over to where Max was waiting.


"Just one step at a time Max, that's it," May called to her brother. He was walking across a very thin ledge and she didn't want him to fall off. "How are you doing up there Drew?" May looked at Drew, she was still concerned.

'Ever since we started climbing…he's been so quiet' she thought..

"Drew? I said how are you doing?" Drew still didn't answer.

He jumped off the ledge May was on, and landed on a much larger one. But he stopped and waited for May and Max.

May turned back to Max, "almost there! Just keep going, Max, you're doing fine!" she called.

Finally, Max came to a halt and jumped to her side. "I did it!" he cried in exhaustion. "I really-," before Max could finish, red light flashed out of May's bag, and out came Skitty.

"Nye!" it cried.

"Skitty! You're not supposed to be out!" May called.

"Nye!" Skitty ran down the ledge and jumped.

"Skitty!" May and Max ran over to see Skitty on the same ledge as Drew.

"Skitty! You bad girl, get back here!" May jumped to the next ledge and ran over to where Skitty was. She grabbed her before she could escape.

"May!" Max cried "Get back here before the ledge crumbles! You're too far out!"

May yelled "Return!" and the little pink kitten disappeared into the red and white ball in May's hand. "See Max, I'm-," a large cracking sound split the air. Pidgeys flew away from their perches, as May and the ground under her feet disappeared, just like Skitty had done two seconds earlier.
