There was a lot of cats running around frantically, the leader, BerryStar, had been missing for THREE WHOLE HOURS!! Usually, it was about an hour, but cats didn't know time, they just knew that BerryStar was out for longer than usual.
"I'm back everyone!" BerryStar walked into the main cave, when her paws pressed the ground the sound lightly echoed.
Cats all gathered around BerryStar, all asking "Where were you?!" "Are you okay?!" But the deputy, PoppyHeart, had lightly pushed them all away from BerryStar so that she had space.
"Welcome back, BerryStar!" PoppyHeart nudged BerryStar affectionately.
"Thank you, PoppyHeart." BerryStar pat PoppyHeart on the forehead, and pounced up onto the rock. "As you all have noticed, I was gone for longer than usual. While I was looking around our territory, I noticed some fox dens and some badger dens, so whoever is going out to patrol or hunt next, please be careful. You all are dismissed." She carefully came down from the rock, and trotted to her den. PoppyHeart followed behind, eager to speak to her.
"BerryStar, before you take a nap, I have a question!" PoppyHeart smiled.
BerryStar looked back at PoppyHeart. "What is it?" BerryStar tilted her head curiously.
"Wanna go for a walk with me tomorrow to pick some flowers and berries? The Festival of Sweets is coming the next full moon!"
"Sure, PoppyHeart!"[END OF CHAPTER]
