The noise erupted into her ears once more. This time it got louder and louder by the second. Then, Sunset recognized this sound. It was FOX!!
Sunset began to flee, but the fox was already upon her. Sunset hissed at the fox as she ran unsheathed claws along its flank. The fox bit her fore paw. Screeching in pain and fury, Sunset tried to fling the fox off of her, although she knew that it was no use. The fox was much bigger then her. Then, an idea popped into her head. She began to shimmy her way from underneath the fox. When she finally got out, however, the fox clamped its jaws on her half healed tail wound. Sunset wailed in pain and raked her claws along the fox's ears, hoping that that would make it loosen its tight grip. The fox let go only to grab Sunset's scruff and fling her across the clearing. Sunset yowled in pain but, her cry was cut off as her head hit a hard rock and she was knocked out.

Sunset woke up. Then, as she was getting up, she smelled, through the stench of fox, Crow and Stone! She looked around, but then she realized that their scents were old. They had been here yesterday. Sunset then recognized the place that she was in: it was her old hunting grounds! She was here!
Sunset shot forward. She swerved trees, leapt over logs, ran through tangles of grass, and slipped underneath bushes. Sunset, panting, ran over to a small, rocky hill. She remembered this hill! This was her home! She plummeted down the hillside. She announced her arrival with a happy chirp. Slowly, her friends began to gather.
Sunset was astonished to see how much Canary had grown. The little orange cat then squeaked, "Who is this cat, mama?"
Sunset felt sad. Had she really been away for so long that they didn't recognize her? Then, Sunset heard Blaze meow with astonishment in his voice, "Could it be...? Sunset? Is that you, Sunset?"
"Blaze!" Sunset cried happily.
Blaze's face echoed her joy. "Sunset! I can't believe that it's really you!"
"Oh you better believe that it's me!" Sunset purred playfully as she leaned over and gently nipped his ear.
A little while after she had told them the story of her travels, they all settled down to sleep. Sunset was pressed in between Blaze and Crow. She was content. She was home.
