Nobody to hear the pitiful cry and come running. Nobody to protect her from the stinging rain and freezing winds. And nobody to love and hold her. She was all alone now, this little kitten who was barely holding onto her life as she searched for a home. Crawling through sinking mud, flapping leaves, and sharp rocks, the she-kit trudged on until she could no more. So she just laid there, ready to fall into an everlasting sleep. But, apparently, someone else wasn't ready for that. Though too tired to open her eyes and see the dark world around her, she could hear things. Voices, to be exact. "Mia, I'm telling you! I heard a kit!" an adolescent-aged tom hissedd sharply through the whistling wind. "Get over it, Sean! You were just hallucinating like you always do." a cold female voice growled. A frustrating hiss was heard from the male. "No, I was not! I-" he stopped mid-sentence. After a moment or too, she heard, "Um...Sean?" He gave no reply. Then, suddenly, she felt something touch her flank. A soft paw, she discovered. She struggled to move, just so they knew she was alive if there was any hope at all of them saving her. The matted kitten breathed in and out deeply, and the paw lifted along with his voice. "It's moving! I-it's breathing!" Sean shouted, stepping back. "What?" As the wind quieted, very faint footsteps were heard heading towards her. "Ew, what is that? A rat?" Mia snarled, sounding disgusted. "I don't think so..." Sean moved closer again and took in a whiff. "It's a...It's a kitten for crying out loud!" he yelled once more. "What?! We need to take it back then!" Mia replied loudly, suddenly caring for the mud-caked corpse as she slid by her side and gently picked her up by her neck scruff. The kitten let out a soft groan as she was lifted into the air and carefully being transported to a new home. #Post#: 42553-------------------------------------------------- Re: UNTITLED STORY && FEEL FREE TO TRACK By: Raven` Date: May 22, 2014, 2:12 pm --------------------------------------------------------- trrrrack #Post#: 42558-------------------------------------------------- Re: UNTITLED STORY && FEEL FREE TO TRACK By: Jstar Date: May 22, 2014, 5:06 pm --------------------------------------------------------- track #Post#: 42562-------------------------------------------------- Re: UNTITLED STORY && FEEL FREE TO TRACK By: dawnfire111 Date: May 22, 2014, 7:16 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [center]CHAPTER ONE[/center] Four kittens, two tabby she-kits, a black tom, and a tortoiseshell she-kit, huddled in the corner of a den while a small calico female stood in front of them, lashing her short tail and hissing ferociously. "Stay away from us, you liar!" she screamed. "Tera, please listen to me! You need to GO!" a towering, muscular brown tabby rumbled in reply, digging his long claws into the ground. "What is WRONG with you?! I don't want to leave you, Josef!! Why aren't you telling me anything?" she cried, tears forming around her bright yellow orbs as well as the kittens'. The large tom hissed, "I'm just trying to protect our family! You don't know what he's planning..." He stared down at his wide paws, clenching them fiercely. "And leave the rest of them behind?! NO!" All of a sudden, he whipped his head around to see several tall toms pounding towards them. "HEY! What do you think you're doing!?" Josef spun around to look at his mate and kits, dark green eyes filling with fear. "HURRY, YOU NEED TO-" Two heavy toms pounced and pinned him, and another slammed Tera to the ground. Why didn't I listen? the mother thought painfully. "GO!" she screeched at her children, who stared wide-eyed at the attackers before slipping out of the den and into the wilderness. As they escaped, they heard their own mother sob, "N-NO! PLEASE STOP!" "PLEASE STOP!" echoed the shout of a young tabby across the room, waking up fellow felines. "Hey!" "Shut up!" "Some cats are trying to sleep here!" The gray tabby female flattened her ears against her shamefully lowered head, her heart still pounding in her fluffy chest. "Sorry!" she squeaked. Can't they have a little pity? she pouted mentally, then glanced over at her bestie who was staring at her in confusion and worry. "Hey, are you okay?" her friend, Leslie, whispered, slowly sitting up and stifling a yawn. "I'm fine," she replied as she slipped on a reassuring smile. "Just a...bad dream." Leslie raised her imaginary eyebrow, looking doubtful. "If you say so," she murmured, then turned and curled back up into a fuzzy orange ball on the rug. A long, sleepy sigh left her mouth as the warm sun peaking between the curtains weighed on her back, causing her to turn and squint at the dawning light. No point in going back to sleep now. The female pushed out a couple yawns and stood up, flexing and stretching her limbs and paws before heading out of the bedroom. "Hey, Skye! Wanna help me catch some breakfast? My team bailed out on me," called a lithe, solid brown tom trotting over to her as she entered the long halllway. The foggy-colored she-cat turned her head at the sound of her name and slid on a smirk. "They're sleeping in again, huh?" she purred towards the hunter, Luca. "Yep," he replied simply, now beside her and facing the opposite direction. "So...you coming?" Skye smiled and flicked her tail up into the air. "Why not?" The pair then headed out, walking past pictures of old, deceased humans hanging on the walls. Seeing them made her giggle inside, remembering how she herself used to complain about how creepy they were, along with the rest of the enormous house. Then Leslie would pretend they scared her as well to make her feel better. Just as they exited the mansion, which was through a back door that just swung open at small push because it was lacking a doorknob, they saw two of their friends running over. They had obviously been out in the storm last night due to their muddy paws and pelts. Skye tilted her head and narrowed her pretty blue eyes at the body dangling from the approaching she-cat's mouth. Was that was she thought it was? Both concerned and curious, the two cats darted over to the other couple of mud-splashed cats. "What happened?" "This poor kitten was left out in the forest! She's lucky she even survived," the tom, Sean, explained while Mia charged into the house with the sickened she-kit. Skye and Luca both totally forgot about hunting their breakfast and followed after them, eyes wide. --- Several cats, including Skye, Leslie, and Luca, waited outside of the "nurse's office" in hopes to see positive results on the extremely frail kitten. Word spread around quickly in the mansion, no matter how big it was. These cats were close and, well, not much happened around here. Everyone jumped to their feet when Mia pushed open the door. "She's gonna be okay guys," she purred confidently, giving the cats plenty of relief. "You can come in, don't crowd her though!" The group rushed in quietly and, much to Mia's dismay, circled around the fancy dog bed carrying the precious life. They all awed and purred at the peacefully sleeping kitten, except for Skye, who seemed disturbed. She knew the coat was common, but this kitten was a tortoiseshell with green eyes, just like the one in her dream. [hr] NOTES: Just to clear things up a bit, this group of cats live in an abandoned mansion. They are like a family, pack, or clan of some sort with two rulers. #Post#: 42570-------------------------------------------------- Re: UNTITLED STORY && FEEL FREE TO TRACK By: FancyCat.

This large bedroom was where most of the adolescent cats her age slept, by the way. She and Leslie slept near the wall with the door that was, of course, left open so the members could easily come in and out. This door actually had a working doorknob on it! Anyway, the gray and white tabby had often been lost in thought these past two days. About the kitten. Ever since they brought her in, she never spoke a word. She only ever used her voice to scream when someone she didn't like came too close, who were usually toms. And this kit, she always had a frightened look on her face, like she was going through shock after a traumatizing event. Skye continued to grow more and more anxious that her nightmare was coming true, somehow. Then a weird sound interrupted the thoughtful she-cat's...thoughts. And by weird sound, I mean a grumble. In her stomach. The long-furred tabby pushed out a sigh and silently left the bedroom to find a midnight snack. Skye felt a couple more growls from her abdomen as she headed down the hallway and staircase, waiting to see the broken sign barely hanging on an open door with "KITCHEN" printed on it's dusty white surface. The more she walked, the more hungry she was becoming. And apparently, she was the only hungry one. The young she-cat heard clanging in the kitchen. Who else was up at this hour? Cautiously, Skye stepped onto the cold tiled floor and stared in shock as the moonlight from the window shone on the figure. There was a blackish tail hanging out of one of the cupboard doors, occasionally swishing back and forth as the little thief searched for a snack. Skye let out a little, "Um, hello?" Suddenly the feline spun around, struggling to balance on the edge of the pantry floor as she stared at Skye with bright, shimmering green orbs. The kitten! She rushed over to keep her from falling, but she discovered the little thing was already speeding out a different door. When the heck did she get down?! Skye hurried after her, her blue eyes round with worry. When she had finally found her again, the little tortoiseshell was huddled in a corner, whimpering loudly and scratching at the ground as if she were trying to escape. She was just about to run over when she realized, this kit was probably still in shock. A deep breath was taken before she, very softly, called as she carefully crawled over. "Hey, it's okay...I'm not going to hurt you! I won't let anybody hurt you. You don't have to run away. You're safe here!" The green-eyed she-kit stopped crying and digging, but continued to stay hunched over in the dark corner. She didn't move when Skye came closer, or even when she stopped about a couple feet behind her. "Come on out now. You're safe with me," Skye murmured with a gentle smile. Finally, the kitten turned around and just stared into the other's eyes, locking them with her's for what seemed like forever. Then, out of the blue, the dappled she-kit burst forward and stuffed herself into her chest fur. Skye, though very surprised, slowly wrapped her legs around her in a comforting hug. "I love you momma..." #Post#: 65844-------------------------------------------------- Re: UNTITLED STORY && FEEL FREE TO TRACK By: dawnfire111 Date: January 7, 2017, 4:34 pm --------------------------------------------------------- um ????? i don't remember writing this what???? /? /?/?? #Post#: 65847-------------------------------------------------- Re: UNTITLED STORY && FEEL FREE TO TRACK By: Raven` Date: January 7, 2017, 4:58 pm --------------------------------------------------------- maybe u did it in ur sleep ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
