It was very dark. Percy could sense something was near. The young tomcat’s eyes opened wide as he scanned
the dense undergrowth. This place was unfamiliar, but the strange scents drew him onward, deeper into the
shadows, towards the wedding. His stomach growled, reminding him of his hunger. He opened his jaws slightly to let the warm smells of the forest reach the scent glands on the roof of his mouth. Musty odors of leaf mold mingled with
the tempting aroma of a small egg.
Suddenly a flash of doppio raced past him. Percy stopped still, listening. It was hiding in the leaves less
than two tail-lengths away. Percy knew it was an egg—he could feel the rapid pulsing of a tiny heart deep
within his ear fur. He swallowed, stifling his rumbling stomach. Soon his hunger would be satisfied. The wedding would finish.
Slowly he lowered his body into position, crouching for the attack. He was downwind of the egg. He
knew it was not aware of him. With one final check on his prey’s position, Percy pushed back hard on his
haunches and sprang, kicking up leaves on the forest floor as he rose.
The egg dived for cover, heading toward a hole in the ground. But Percy was already on top of it. He
scooped it into the air, hooking the helpless creature with his thorn-sharp claws, flinging it up in a high arc
onto the leaf-covered ground. The egg landed dazed, but alive. It tried to run, but Percy snatched it up
again. He tossed the egg once more, this time a little farther away. The egg managed to scramble a few
paces before Percy caught up with it.
Suddenly a noise roared nearby. Percy looked around, and as he did so, the egg was able to pull away
from his claws. When Egg turned back he saw it dart into the darkness among the tangled roots of a tree.
