Later, Blake was getting really tired of his sister's pitiful coughing and mewling. He couldn't sleep with all her gagging. He gave her a nudge.

"Huh- *cough cough cough*" She mewed in a hoarse voice.

"Stop coughing! It's annoying!" Blake hissed.

"I *cough cough* can't!" Blazey coughed.

"I'm getting out of here where আপনি can't annoy me!" Blake hissed in a whisper.

"I can't help it! *cough cough*" She hissed.

"Oh, দ্বারা the way, আপনি smell like crow-food." Blake ব্যক্ত walking out of the den.

Blazey fell asleep once more. Blossom awoke to Blazey's coughing and heavy breathing.

"You okay, sweety?" Blossom asked worried.

Blazey shook her head slowly. Blossom gave her a soft lick on the head to cool her down. She noticed she was warm, and she seemed very, very sick.

"I'd better get আপনি to see Ashley tomorrow." Blossom meowed.

Blazey nodded.

The পরবর্তি morning, Blake was in the বৃক্ষ looking at the Thunderpath. Huge monsters swerved by, and twolegs walked some sort of big, hairy, ugly thing. Brick saw Blake up in the tree. He climbed up to Blake.

"What are আপনি doing, buddy?" He asked.

"Looking at the Thunderpath." Blake meowed.

"Pfft, I see a twoleg!" Brick hissed.

"I do too, but what is that big hairy thing the twoleg is walking?" Blake asked.

"Dogs!" Brick scowled. "Don't ever get close to one of those...things! They'll eat আপনি up in a second!"

"How do আপনি know?" Blake asked looking puzzled.

"I got attacked দ্বারা one once!" Brick ব্যক্ত smiling proud.

"Really? Did আপনি die?" Blake asked.

"If I died, how would I be here?" Brick asked questioning his son's so called, 'smartness.'

"Oh, yeah." Blake said.

"Don't ক্রুশ the Thunderpath ever, unless I say so, and I'm with you." Brick ব্যক্ত looking Blake eye-to-eye.

"Yes, sir." Blake gulped.

"And," Brick advised. "Don't আপনি EVER go to a twoleg nest! Not even near one!"

"Twoleg nest?" Blake asked.

"A place where a twoleg lives. The usually have dogs, অথবা 'kittypets'.

"Kittypets?" Blake asked once more.

"Cats that live with twolegs." Brick replied.

"Oh." Blake mewed. "I'm gonna go find some fresh-kill."

"Okay. We need some." Brick ব্যক্ত fallowing Blake down.

"Yeah." Blake ব্যক্ত back.

"Want me to go with আপনি to প্রদর্শনী আপনি how to catch birds?" Brick offered.

"Sure!" Blake peeped. "I've always wanted to catch a caffinch!"

"Those birds are to easy to catch. But this will be your first time, so, I'll let আপনি go for it." Brick meowed.


They headed to the গর্ত to let Blossom know where they were going.

"Hey Bloss. How's Blazey doing?" Brick asked.

"Not so good. I've asked Ashley to come, she ব্যক্ত she'd be here soon." Blossom whispered.

"Okay. Me and Blake are going to go hunting. I'm gonna প্রদর্শনী him how to catch a bird!" Brick meowed.

"See আপনি soon." Blossom said.

"By, daddy. *dramatic coughing*" Blazey said, though she could barely speak.

"No, আপনি keep your voice shut young lady! আপনি would hate if আপনি হারিয়ে গেছে it! I know you, how আপনি প্রণয় to talk." Blossom said.


Brick and Blake wandered off into the woods. They spotted a bird cleaning it's feathers on a tree.

"Alright, Blake. Watch me." Brick whispered.

Brick crouched down. Making his paws light so couldn't hear him walk. He swooped up and ঘুঘু at the bird, and caught it.

"Whoa!" Blake meowed in amazement.

"You'll learn how to do it soon too." Brick purred.


দ্বারা sun-high, they had caught 3 birds and 4 mice. They came back to Blossom running out of the গর্ত and rushing to Brick.

She cried, "Blazey has blackcough!"
