I feel something nudge my arm. Again.
"What?"
I try to get the words out of my mouth. My eyes open to the same little cat from earlier.
"It's you. Thanks for saving me and all, but couldn't you have had better timing? I need to know what he meant!!"
He rubs my arm and lifts it with his nose. I stand up and push him over, looking for a doorway back to Will. Even though I was scared, he knew something I didn't. He might've been able to help me.
"Great. Now we're lost again."
I take in my surroundings. I'm in an area filled with white sand. There are walls further out and a stream with lily pads. I get a sudden feeling I'm being watched. The cat scratches my foot and meows at me.
"What do you want now? We're lost and I'm hungry, and I'm sure you're hungry, Or maybe you're not! You probably had a feast while I was there being kidnapped and you didn't do anything about it!"
I shake my head. What am I, crazy? I'm talking to a literal cat.
"What do you want?"
He walks down to the stream and starts drinking the water.
Great. Now I'm insane, hungry and thirsty. Oh, but at least the cat's fine. Who am I kidding? This is so dumb...
I walk over to the stream and sit next to the cat, dipping my feet in the cold water. He walks over and licks my hand.
"AGGHHHHHHHHH!!"
I yell and kick the water, splashing it on the cat, who jumps away quickly. I've been out here for hours and I'm still just as confused as when I woke up. That note, Will, the cat, everything seems like it's in some placement for something, but I feel like I'm just messing it up!
"It's all wrong!!"
I pull off my boots and throw them in the water, splashing it again. I notice a little piece of paper slips out of the right boot. My eyes widen.
"NO!"
I exclaim, jumping into the shallow water to grab it. It's wet and the ink is smeared, making it nearly unreadable.
"NO!!"
The paper melts into a little glob in my hand. I try to pick it up and it tears into pieces. The thin wall of glass keeping me sane shatters. It was the only thing pushing me in any direction at all.
My eyes and cheeks start burning up, tears dripping into the stream creating ripples in the water. The dirt slips out from under me and tosses me into the stream. I fall as if in slow motion, catching a glimpse in the reflection of something so sudden, so fast.
Apollo.
