Gray licked her paw miserably. Her back was still sore from when the car had hit it. Star was asleep at her left side, while Lake was at her other side, closing her eyes, pretending to be asleep, but Gray knew she was wide awake. Was she planning a attack? Gray nudged Star awake, letting him know that they should get going.
Star got up to face the night. The moon was bright, and shinning on to Lake's white fur as if she was special. Gray was heading over to the lake; Star guessed to get a drink. As the three cats gathered to go, Star saw Lake looking at her paws. He hadn't talked to her since Gray got injured, and Lake seemed to be very sad and guilty; Star could feel it off of her pelt. Lake was not normally like this. It was why he had fallen in love with her in the first place. Star shock his head. "Star, are you coming, or are you going to just stay there forever?" Lake hissed at him. "Err, uh-huh. I'm coming." Star meowed, every hair on his pelt prickling with anger. Like Lake hadn't once been holding up him and Gray.
They came back to the road. "Ok, guys. This road is just a normal road, going across. We just have to run when all the cars stop. But the road over there-" Star meowed, pointing his tail to the other side- "Is a harder one. We have to go ON it. There's no other way, so we HAVE to be fast. Understand?" Lake and Gray nodded. "Ok then. When I say, Lake, then Lake, you run. When I say, Gray, Gray, you run. Got it?" Lake and Gray nodded again. "Lake, run!" Star shouted. Then when Lake had gone, Gray went, then Star. When all the cats went safely across, it was time for the harder road.
"Ok, this time we all go at the same time. Ready? GO!!" Star yelled, and the three cats dashed off. It was a road going up. Then, a car was about to hit Star. Star was frozen. He was to scared to move. Then, just before it DID hit him, Lake took him by his neck, and ran faster than any cat had ever ran before, back to where they had started. When Lake dropped Star, he got up and stared at Lake. "Why?.." Lake started. "Where's Gray?" Star asked, ignoring the fact that Lake had just saved his life. I hate her, and she just saved my life. Thought Star. I don't care. She will not listen when I tell her that Gray's my sister. Star told himself.
