Love In The Animal Kingdom - Part Two

Leo was not the only one to be glad that Hurricane Jessica had been frightened away by the smell of fire. Daisy the squirrel and Callum the cat had been taking the oppurtunity to take a stroll to the well to visit the body of MCD the rat, who they had known well when they had all been wild and happy together. Had Hurricane Jessica not been frightened off, they would most certainly both have met their doom somewhere in the bottom of the well.
Now Daisy was something of a pyromaniac squirrel, and when she caught sight of the flaming tent, she was unable to resist investigating. So as the tent combusted around Leo, and he was left exposed to the world, Daisy sat and watched.
Upon seeing Leo, Daisy was struck with such a lust for the porcupine that she was prepared to brave Hurricane Jessica and scuttle across open ground towards him. Luckily for her, the smell of burning had already reached Hurricane Jessica, and the storm whirled off angrily, leaaving Daisy safe.
Let us not go too deeply into the details of their first, passionate meeting. Let it be enough to say that stumstums were tickled.
Callum watched on. Then, with a shrug, he turned and made his way to the house. Mel was standing in the doorway, blinking confusedly in the sunlight. The wierdness of the events of the previous few days was beginning to make her head feel funny.
When she saw Callum, though, she grinned. "You won't go transforming on me, will you?" she said to him. The cat looked at her reproachfully, as though surprised that she would even suggest such a thing.
"Wanna come in?"
Callum nodded slowly, and Mel let the new family member into the house. How long he will last before he too ends up meeting a very strange end - probably as a victim of Hurricane Jessica -remains to be seen.

After all, she hasn't killed anyone in this chapter. She's getting very, very angry...
