"Run! Part of the Island is on fire!" Kate told me while I was watering the dry garden. "That's impossible," I told her calmly. "Why would you say so---" I was rudely interrupted by Jingle ( Kate's beautiful black and white kitten ) trying to get my attention by jumping on my back. "Jingle? What's the matter?" I knew something was wrong because she looked over to the other side of the Island then us and then she took off running! "Kate, follow that cat!"
( Sorry it was such a short chapter...it is just starting up the conflict )
