"We're leaving!" I shouted. "Don't get so mad! We're out of here." As I ran, I incidentally bared my teeth. Open aggression was definitely the wrong strategy now, but it couldn't hurt to at least subtly make it clear to these crazy rodents that we weren't completely defenseless, either.

They followed us for a while, but none of the self-proclaimed cat hunters dared to attack us directly. At some point, I heard the voice of the leader calling his clan back. And then they were gone, as suddenly and as silently as they had appeared.

Victoria, however, didn't even notice; she ran and ran, holding Pearl tightly to her chest so that she almost took the poor tiny one’s breath away, and only stopped when we were back at the cemetery wall.

She looked around, searching for the badgers’ den that Pearl and I had slipped through, but it was somewhere else entirely. I nudged her gently with my muzzle and then walked along the wall in front of her.

"This way," I told her, and she followed me.

She only put Pearl down when I had found the right place.

The poor kitten looked badly battered. Her blue eyes were wide with fear, her fur all rumpled, and for once no bold comment about our adventure fell from her lips.
