  "This is it!" Allison said as she passed through the bushes, as memo went through the bushes the colossal camp of cats started to come to view, he saw about a hundred cats as soon as he entered the clearing. There were structures made out of the giant tree that stood in the middle of the clearing, the tree had huge holes spaced evenly on each side and cats inside of most of them.

  "Welcome to the wooden city!" Allison meowed excitedly as they fully emerged into the clearing, "I'll show you around then we can get food and rooms set up!" Allison said, she insisted on helping him so much, but he felt terrible and embarrassed that she was helping him, even though he's a random cat she found in the forest. What if there's more to the story? What if she knew about his journey over here or even that he's a former clan member?

  "The leading cats made this city because of their love for humans and how they function, we still have to work out some stuff to find out exactly what the humans do to lead their 'colonies'." She said as they were walking down to the clearing full of cats. "Oh, and if anyone asks you where your from, say that you're from here, okay?" Allison stared at him with her big green and blue eyes, awaiting his response. He nodded, then they were off, going into the "city" of cats.

  The sun was now high above the trees, giving out its warmth, Allison had given Memo a small tour of the city and now they were going to find something to eat. Memo was starving, he had not eaten anything for 2 moons, after all, the last potential meal he could have had was that rabbit. "So what do you want?" Allison said with a smile on her face, they were nowhere near the forest, only by a tiny stick-made shelter and a couple of larger structures. "Oh uh, what's your favorite type of animal to eat?" She said looking anxious for Memos response, he had always loved the meat of squirrels due to their muscular bodies and meaty legs. "Squirrel" he replied, he was wondering if she was just going to run out into the small pack of bushes outside of the so-called 'human home' and catch some for them, if she did, Memo would be ready to spring after her to show that he can hunt for himself.

  But that never happened, all memo saw was Allison saying something to the strange cat and receiving two plump squirrels ready to eat. She brought the squirrels over and Memo gave his thanks, thinking about how she had only found him in the forest not even a moon ago. This made him wonder if she was aware of where he had come from and where he was meant to go. But that would not matter in the end, he was leaving tomorrow during the night, he was going to go back home. The vision he had must not be true and he must still be in a strange dream. No matter what, he made up his mind. He was going back home to face the raiders that his tribe tried to defeat while he ran away. He will die there, no doubt in his mind.
