a very large light grey cat was perched on a log, half asleep, his ears twitching when annoying flies landed on his ears. the young tom let out a yelp of shock when another cat appeared behind him and shoved him off the log. his annoyance rippled through the air around them. two toms. they looked like brothers. their identicle eyes, their long pelts. even their scent smelled slightly alike. the larger of the two, the light grey tom glared at his brother. he did not say anything, but his words seemed to hang in the air. what on earth what that for. he then walked aside and perked his ears. his nose to the ground, he was following a new scent. they lived on the farmland, and like nothing changed except new farm animals, or some new humans moving in. but this was different. something on the air notified that someone was here, something was different. something had changed. so, he went. his brother let out a snarl of annoyance. "we aren't leaving again are we? we've moved to many times. i enjoy it here. speak up!" his mew sounded loudly to the light grey tom. he seemed to ignore the cat and continued. frustration rippled in the air and the brown tom stopped and bounded away. "well you can leave, but i won't come with you any longer. i hate it when you leave me behind." he looked a little spoiled, which he was, but he was obviously in a very ugly mood.
the light grey tom shrugged, like he did not really care. he went on his way and lifted his head, his bright yellow eyes shining with excitement. ever since his mothers death he had been free. able to explore and do everything that he wanted to, without the nagging sound of his mother. it was the scent of another cat, and obviously very fresh. ebbing away the last of the angered feelings from his mind, he sat and waited for something to happen. he didn't like newcomers, but he knew that his brother would, and he would arrive. even if the brown tom was holding another grudge against him. pawsteps sounded and out popped the tom that had just recently snarled his retorts at him. he glared at the ground, and grumbled something like, 'fine, i'll come..' and sat down heavily beside the light grey tom.

I walked along hte ground. Id' really gotten myself lost this time. My nose wasn't the greatest, infact, I could harldy smell anything at all, ever since the brute stepped on my head, So I couldn't fidn my way back through scent, and I'd been running, from a burst of energy surging through me, and hadn;t looked at anything around me to find markers for my way back. Besides, sounds never stayed the same, so what point was that? And it's not like she'd lick trees. Gross. And all around here, the ground felt the same - warm and soft - beneath my paws. I stopped nad sat to clean my paws, becuase, as warm and soft it might be. it was gross and amazingly de-softening my fur! I turned around as I thought I heard Rose coming after me, to take me home, when I saw the cat behim me. And I could definetly tell you, It wasn't NOT my sister/best friend coming to my rescue. Igrowled, and intstead of staying and holding my ground, i found myself running again, further from home.
As soon as I thought I was positive the tom wasn't behind me anymore, I stop and looked around. I seemed to have encroached upon a home of somesort. I faintly smelt the combination of farm smells, but I'd subconciously learned to ignore my nose. I looked around, as small as I was, I could defend myself. I looked around in panic with my large yellow-green eyes. My ears pinned back upon my head in fear of this new place. Why had I run?

the light grey tom blinked in surprise when the young, dainty she-cat appeared. he stepped backwards in self-consiousness and looked at her. he was not interested, nor was he ignoring her. he was perhaps watching her. when she turned and saw him, she seemed to self-absorb. almost let out a silent squeal of shock. she ran, ran away from him. like most other cats do. utter sadness fell over him. they usually spoke to him. his brother cedar, snarled in astonishment at the aspect of a pretty she-cat. he bounded after her, deep interest glinting in the brown tom's gaze.
the grey tom blinked, then followed, now uninterested in his brothers amusement. [/size]

I sank lower ot the ground, I felt it inside my paws, I wasn't done with them yet. I crawled into the large building, where the scents were the slightest bit more pronoucd in my bad nose. I jumped up suddenly curious as to what was penned up in here. HTe first one scared me to death. I hissed as my fur stood on end at the large thing in the in/out pen. It was large, with a snout and a flat nose, and a curly tail. I meowed againa dn jumped over ot the next pen, missing the door/rail by milimeters and falling inside to another horrendous, terrifying sight. WEll, at first it scared me, for I was still freak over the large thing. But what I saw in here made me smile. It was a mother and her kits, and I wasn't afraid. Not until the tome showed up anyhow nad made me leap away, before I could speak and do something I might regret later, to cause harm to the kit's lives. I say in the hallway-like space then, low tot he groun dnad hiding behind a post. Hoping this lame hiding spot would conceal my dense fur. Though I could already tell, some strands peeked out at the sides, and no matter ho hard I tried to smooth it down, It would jsut poof out again. I sat, awaiting their arival, hoping that it wouldn't come.

the brown tom caught another strong wave of her scent. his eyes almost wild with excitement, he bounded to the crevice she was hiding in. he purred, a very weird sound. "hello, gorgeous. why would you hide from me? i won't hurt you.." it was then that the light grey tom arrived and glared a warning at his brother. he bared his teeth and lashed his tail. annoyance and betrayal rippled in the air. "just leave her alone.." it was a whisper, but his quiet voice was menacing. a hint of deep, bubbling anger rippling in the air around him.
he stepped foreward and pinned his ears back, driving his brother back. a slight look of fear flashed over cedar's gaze, but he quickly hid it and darted out of the barn. berry flicked his tail, eyes returning to their calm, bright yellow gaze. he glanced at the she-cat and shrugged, and went back outside again. the animals she had seen, were probably a pig and the possible cow.

I looked at the broown tom in Horror, my yellow-green eyes wide in horror, my pupils large and innocent. I creeped out, nad looked back at where I'd been hiding and realized i'd been nearly sitting in poo. I growled and sat, cleaning myself quickly. Then I padded out after the toms and went straight for the grey one. "Thank you" I mewed greatfully. then I started to turn, but paused. "Do you know which direction teh nearest town is?" I asked in an embarassed, soft mew. "I-I'm lost..." I let my voice fade off, as I avoided looking at him, or for his brother. Pervert, was the first word coming to mind when I thought of him. . . But hte grey tom puzzled me, and as much as I'd rather not say, it intrigued me. I wanted to know more, to know more about him... BUt he was still a stranger to me.. so I couldn't let myself do that. And besides, Rose and my father were probably looking for me... They'd find me before I got too interested in this cat's aura/personality. I'd just have to wait..... But cold I wait that long?? I hoped so. "I'm Shadow" I mewed. shaking my head sharply as I sneezed. What was that smell? It was the sharpest thing to my nose since before I was stepped on! and it was disgusting!! But atleast I could tell it wasn't coming from the tom i stood by.

the tom yawned, not seeming to realise she had followed him. he stopped short and turned to gaze at her. his furry light grey pelt shimmering in the sunlight. his warm, intelligent gaze almost seemed to welcome her. he watched her, listened to her. it was when he felt his brother would not hear that he spoke yet again. a mystery. "just head back where you came from. which is south i would say," his deep, usually menacing voice was soft and very enchanting. he blinked again, then pointed his tail to the south, where the fainter scent of her came from. the direction she had com from. words hung in the air of use your nose, shadow. but he never said anything else. instead stood and went to walk away.

I watched after him. I started to head in teh way he had pointed, but I looked like I'd jsut taken a beating. My head was down and my tail hung limp behind me. My ears lay against my head , my whiskers pulled back. "I can't use my damnned nose!" she snarled and lacerated the tree in anger. I hated having my nose being dumb. I hated it!
A few minutes later though, I crawled away from the tree I'd been attacking, nad headed onnmy way agian, My body aching with lonliness. I wished Rose or my father would show up, but neither did. I'd pay to be near that brown tom again if I had to, I jsut couldn't stand being alone!

a whisper in the wind and the light grey tom showed up alongside her, tail flicking across her back. he was following her, leading her home. seeming to understand what she was going through, and his slight interest in her way of living, he decided it was the only way to stay nearer to her, learn about her. he smiled slightly, a very odd, unusual thing for him to to. he padded easily, no hint of sadness, or mourning shown on his face, or in his posture.
cedar was stalking along behind, looking very much annoyed and angered. he was no longer interested in the she-cat. only interested in snarling at his brother because of his rude remarks. [/size]

I jumped when he seemed to magically appear beside me and his tial was onmy back, I stared at him, Never stopping my walk. "Uh..." I meweed, I had been going to say thanks, but ti felt awkward to for soem reason... "You never told me your name" I settled on, my voice small and soft as I shifted away from him slightly. I still looked sad in everyway possible, but it was slowly fading into awkward embarassment and fear.
I noticed the brown Tom then and looked at him in puzzlement. What was wrong with him?
I shook out my fur, a few dead bits falling out. My stomach appeared to be narrowly missing the ground when really, it wasn't like that, It was jsut how long and thick my fur was. And although some cats might hate it. I loved it.

ears twitching at her jump of surprise. her eyes seemed to watch him, and he lowered his tail and walked beside her, matching her gait. her uh.. of embarassment seemed to brighten him and he blinked, surprised when she asked him to say his name. lowering his head in slight hesitation he looked directly at her. "berry." it was as plain as that, nothing more. her head turning to his brother, he scowled in annoyance.
when she shook out her fur, he sidestepped away and paused. her fur seemed to drag on the ground, but she looked far to long to be that fat. berry smiled slightly, and continued walking a little ways away from her. [/size]

I felt a sudden flip of my stomach as soemthign clued into me. "Why are you helping me And how should I know you're taking me home?" I meweed in a cold way, stopped in my tracks and moving backwards and to the side so i could see both of them clearly. My pupils weer narrowed in the shaded area where I stood so more green than yellow was seen. My fluffed tail raised slightly as I crouched lower into a defensive position, a ripple running down my spine. i was ready to protect myself if need be. I looked at berry since he seemed more normal.. and becuase as far as I knew, he had a name. Wait... my mind whispered. How do you know it's his real name? How do you know he isn't lying? I felt the need to shove that thought away.. He didn't seem like the kind of cat to use others. But still, better safe than sorry.

cedar stopped where he was, not bothering to say anything. the reason was clear. because they could and it's not like they would kidnap her, or hurt her. not on purpose anyway. berry stopped, looking hurt. "why would we hurt you? we won't we just want to take you home, where your safe. there are horrible, very bad cats about. a young cat like you should not be out here." his longest speech, but it was very quiet.

I hadn't meant to hurt him. I was jsut being safe.. "Fine I mewed accpetively. moving back near berry. walkign the direction they had been going. My paws tingling with the dirt beneath them. I suddenly started to run as I longed for the feel of the cool wind bentween the locks of my fur. My whol body and aura switched to something of joy and freedom as I ran.
I'd almsot forgotten about the toms, but then stopped before I could, and also, I was afraid I'd gone to far the wrong way or something. I looked around my self, forgetting which wya I came as I had turned many-a-times. Ugh! I was such an idiot!

berry sighed in slight annoyance when she disappeared. he followed her scent, with his brother trailing along behind. tension rose as her scent mingled with others. he could no longer find her. "well, thats that! she's disappeared. bye berry. i don't feel like staying any longer.." his frustration was rising, and cedar ran off. berry followed after her as best he could, worry pricking his pelt.

Shadow
I lay still, now I had become terrified again, slowly I crawled to a bush and hid within it, my yellow-green eyes glimmering beneath it as I watched and hoped for someone knew to cross this path. But I was too afraid to remain out in the open. I whined in my throat, a low mew like sound giving away my hiding place to those that knew my soft voice, and were looking for me, to take me home.

the sound of her voice brought him foreward at a faster pace. he then sniffed in every bush until he found her. lifting her out of her hiding place, he went to leave the trees.

I looked at him. Remainging silent, i followed him until I realised there was onyl two. "where's your friend?" she asked softly, unaware they were brothers, although she'd noticed some similarities.

berry turned his head behind him and tilted his head. "friend? cedar is my brother." his tone was slightly amused, but his eyes played a very annoyed emotion. her pawsteps following him soothed him slightly. he felt as if he was important. or at least slightly. [/size]

I noticed his eyes more than his voice. "Oh.. I didn't mean to offend you or anything.. if I did.." I mewed softly, catching up to right beside him. Looking at him inquieringly, and curiously, I had an impulse. "Where do you live?" I asked.

he shrugged his massive shoulder and looked at her. he smiled slighty. he hadn't been offended. just worried. "i just live around. usually move from place to place in case of any other cats come to drive us out. right now, though we live alongside some bushes and sometimes inside a log. but not usually." he was amused and he then tilted his head, inquiring her to speak of where she lived.

"SO you don't have anyone to take care of you... How and what do you eat?" UI meweed, stopping and taking a seat. genuinely curious, curious enough to want to try whatever they do. "I just liev and get fed by humans, or that's what they call each other. I've always lived like that.. and quiet honestly.. I've never even heard of anyone survbiving without a mother, or humans" I suddenly felt embarassed by this, an I lowered my head slightly.

he looked very puzzled. shock flooded his gaze as he spoke, "why, we hunt for our food. we eat mice, voles and sometimes a bird or a squirrel. what for would you eat slop and gross kibble fed from humans?" he was deeply disgusted at the aspect of eating that. he then went foreward, about to catch a meal for himself, and possibly for her. dropping it on the ground infront of her, he nodded eagerly. it's a mouse.

Her tail twitched defensively. "It's not slop and it's not horrible. Well, the dry crap is, but the rest of it is fine" she said, ears bowing back. "And besides, who'd want to eat an animal, let alone kill it, when it's possibly covered in germs and feces!?" I found myself meowing loudly. My fur was allpuffed out and made me look like a puffer-fish-cat-cross.

defensiveness rose in the air, and he stepped back. "this meat is far better than dry, hard to chew kibble. here, eat the mouse." he mused, then sat back, waiting for her to eat at least a bite. as he waited he went back to hunt for himself.

Shadow I shook my head nad flicked My ear. My tounge sticking out. "Gross!" I mewed out after him As if It cvould taste anything good. I knew cats hunted mice but I'd never seen them eat one. I was too pruned to try. My nose was still wrinkled,. I swatted the mouse away from me, and didn't even take a sniff of it.

returning with a fat bird in his mouth, he set it down and looked scornfully at the tossed away mouse. "you know how hard it is just to find prey? and you just throw it away.." he sighed and went to grab it. he set it on his bird and ate. his mouth watered slightly at the taste, and he then flicked the mouse back at her. eat it, was piercing his gaze and boring into her.

Shadow I felt a shiver run down my spine from the look in his eyes. I felt more afraid than ever before of him, and slowly, without taking my eyes off him, with my ears back agaisnt my skull, lowered my grey tabby-designed head and took a taste of teh rodent. And liked it. No, I didn't jsut like it, LOVED it. and ended up scarfing the last of it down.
"Wow" i meweed. "It's better than it seems" I licked my muzzle clean and paws, bathing myself after my meal, atypical ritual for me.

he smiled brightly when she ate it. he nodded gratefully when she noted how great it tasted. he then swept his tail over the remains and dug a small bone, buring the bones. a normal ritual for him. he swiped his tongue over his muzzle and watched her, almost waiting for something he didn't know.

I felt a little werid with him watching me.. But a good weird. After I was finished, I saw what he did, and did my own thing, move ahead of it and kick it into the bsh behind me. i found ymself grinning goofily within my eyes. And I felt grave embarrssed. Strange... it was an odd behaviour for me, for I normally never get embarassed around anyone, but then again, everyone I knew besides Berry, I'd known my whole lives, so myself, and they were used to me. But when I thought about it, my face was heating in entire embarassment. wait.. WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!
