CHAPTER EIGHT – THE TRUTH            That night, as soon as Luke and Sarah had walked back to camp, Luke built a moss bed beside Sarah's. When night fell, all seemed at peace in the camp. Everyone had quietly been mewing to each other, telling stories about their own adventures in the wilderness, and people were more than happy to eat what the foragers had prepared. The camp was looking much more like a camp than it did when they had first found the island, and in the three days they'd been feline it had improved impressively. There were now beds for everyone, lined with feathers, and a few cats had even constructed a little cave fill

CHAPTER SEVEN – THE FOX            Sarah opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. It was her human self, lying peacefully on that bed, and she couldn't believe it. Her legs were shaking so hard she came close to falling off the bed, but she caught herself. She peeked over at the bunk beside hers, but couldn't tell whether or not someone was sleeping there. Someone like Rosa. Sarah leaped gracefully onto the bed, pulled away from the covers, and braced herself to see her friend's eyes shut tight, but nobody was there.

The camp was relatively empty. She spotted a few foragers coming in with food. Pulling herself off the ground and shaking off the dry bits of moss in her fur, Sarah trotted over to the food-pile and picked out a rabbit, then headed back to her moss-bed to contemplate. The camp was looking very good; there were moss-beds like hers all around the island underneath trees and in small caves. For a small class of kids, they had done surprisingly well in the

CHAPTER FIVE – THE VISION            The snow-cat led Sarah, Lucy, and a few others through a series of oak trees deep in the woods. He pushed  his way past a tangle of brambles, and from the other side he called "Here it is!" The camp featured an island in the center of a sparkling lake, surrounded by trees and field. Where Sarah had stepped out from the brambles were trees that seemed to be bursting with life. The snow-cat led Sarah and the others through the trees and into a field that whispered in the wind. Sarah saw Ethan and Max running through it without a care in the world. Past the field was a marsh area where the oak trees b
