Foxes in Crime

Too Close

     Sarah, Christina, and 3 gaurds rushed over to Zoe to help her get to the castle. They were able to pick her up quickly. Christina looked at the side that was recently on the grass. There were big and small cuts on her side oozing with blood. Zoe was panting, hardly able to breathe, "will.... I.... Live?" She asked between breaths.
     "You'll be fine." Sarah said in a calming voice. Everyone was rushing to get Zoe to an elevated flat surface. They went to the dining room because that was the closest place, and set her down on the undamaged side of her. The royal vet scurried in to have a look at Zoe. "Looks like she's bleeding pretty bad." He claimed.
     "Thank you Captain Obvious," Christina said sarcastically, "can you make her better?"
     He looked at Christina, "for your information, my name is DOCTOR Obvious geez... And yes. She will be fine. Just have to wrap her with some band aids and makes sure she doesn't move for 2 weeks and she'll be fine." He snapped.
     Everyone gave out a sigh of relief. They once again grabbed Zoe and took her to her bedroom after Doctor Obvious wrapped her with band aids. For every meal, Sofia, Christina, and Sarah all brought Zoe food. They also had to feed her because Zoe was too sore to get up.

     By the time two weeks had ended, all Zoe had were some scars. "YAY!!! Look at me!" Zoe yelled joyfully as she flew across the room. Everyone was happy to see Zoe all better.
     Two weeks was longer than they had expected to stay. "We should get going." Sofia told Sarah.
     "Are you sure? There's still so much that we could do, and see!" Sarah exclaimed.
     "We still have other places to see. But we'll come and visit sometime." Zoe replied.
     "We promise." Christina said with a nod.
     With tears in her eyes, Sarah called, "Farewell! Until next time!" The friends we off. They left Portugal, and Sarah.

     They flew for a long while, not knowing where they were going. "Where are we going?" Christina asked.
     "Not sure. Heading a little  south east." Zoe replied through the wind. They flew and flew AND FLEW for hours. They finally got to their destination.
     It was full of sand, no green. No water either. Lots of sandy hills. They walked for a mile when the bumped into a white cat with tan ears and striped tail. "Hello visitors. My name is Prince Luke." He said very properly.
     "Hi... Umm where are we exactly?" Zoe asked.
     "My friends, you happen to be in Egypt." He finished.
     Everyone looked at each other in excitement. They were in Egypt, land where cats used to rule.
