Finally, having secured permission from Shadowkat to leave the kitchen, Sara went back to the tree where she had tied up Amos only to find that he was gone, leaving behind only a little frayed, torn piece of rope fluttering ever so slightly in the breeze. She dropped the box of cereal in terror and went running frantically towards the stables hoping that maybe he had gone there, but he was not there, so she returned to the lawn, shouting his name "Amos, Amos." After calling for him for maybe 10 or 15 minutes she started to cry but kept trying. She walked to the edge of the lawn towards the wood and peered into the trees to see if maybe he was hiding there. He wasn't anywhere in sight and calling his name again produced nothing. So Sara went back to the kitchen and there she found Amos, asleep, curled into a little ball near the door where he had apparently been waiting for her. She had somehow missed him on her way out. She sat down next to him and started to gently stroke his fur...he woke up and looked at her, then grabbed her tight and held on until she could barely breathe. Once he finally let go she led him out onto the lawn to where the box of cereal had fallen, and she picked up the box and held a handful of cereal out to Amos. She was going to finish his breakfast now and then off to Ms. Frost's office to talk about arrangements. She didn't like what Shadowkat had said about Amos being gone if there was any trouble.
