The steady patter of rain plopped against the thunderpath. A cool breeze whisked across the thunderpath splattering dark droplets into a silver kits face. "I bet you can't catch that rabbit over there." A white she-cat taunted to the little kit and pointed across the thunderpath at a small brown rabbit. The kit hissed then crouched down. She leaped! And she flew across the silent path. After hearing stories that warned all cats from trespassing of the thunderpath Sammy was a bit nervous but all she could think about was the rabbit. Nearing the other side the path began to rumble.
"Run!" A cat meowed, but Sammy was shaking with fear. A huge shaped appeared in front of Sammy rumbling the ground. Suddenly, Sammy was pushed into a puddle by the side of the thunderpath and heard a shriek. A limp shape lay where Sammy was seconds before. Sammy lay down next to it, the rabbit forgotten. The white she cat crossed the path and whimpered at the sight of the cat.
"Mama?" She asked nudging the she-cat. Tears streamed down Sammy's face and she turned and her sister was crying too.
"This is all your fault!" The white cat cried swatting at Sammy leaving deep marks in her face. Blood seaped from Sammy's wound and she just wiped it away and lay next to Maddy.
"I'm sorry Mama! Come back!" Sammy whimped. Rain continued to patter over them and the cool breeze chilled Sammy to the bone. "I'm sorry..."
Sammy glazed hopefully into the dark and mysterious trees. She smelt the sweet scent of wet leaves and leaned over so she could be just a tiny bit closer to the magical woods. "Okay, I'm going to do it." Sammy thought preparing herself to leap. The ground suddenly look very far away and Sammy's paws began to shake.
"Sammy! Stop being so stupid! Come here right now and leave the woods alone!" A snow white she-cat hoped gracefully onto the fence, "The woods aren't for you, you're just a weak little kit!" The she-cat hissed the batted Sammy with her paw. Sammy wobbled on the rickety fence then flying through the air she landed flat on the ground. Pain shot up Sammy's legs as she struggled to stand. "I told you it was stupid." The white cat meowed padding away with her tail high. Sammy pushed against the ground and stood up. Tall grass tickled her underbelly as Sammy padded reluctantly behind the white she-cat.
The strong smell of rotting meat attacked Sammy as soon as she walked into a dark twoleg den. "Yuck!" Sammy hissed looking at a discarded mouse laying on the ground.
"Well it's your fault that Maddy isn't here, or else this place wouldn't be full of your stink!" The white she-cat meowed daintily stepping over a pile of crowfood. At the mention of her mother's name Sammy's eyes began to water.
"I'm sorry," Sammy sniffled and quickly picked up some of the crowfood, even if it was her sisters. Sammy gagged as the smell entered her mouth. Sighing, she dug a hole outside the den and placed the pile in it. Suddenly, rain started pattering on Sammy's silver fur turning it almost black. Then the tears began. Sammy couldn't hold them back anymore, she hated how it was her fault the Maddy was crushed by a monster. She hated her sister for reminding her of it. "Mama, I wish you were still here..." Sammy whimpered shivering in the falling rain. After calming down she returned to her sister. Padding the the den, Sammy noticed that Ice was fast asleep. She let out a sigh of relief, she didn't want her sister to lecture her and force her to eat the 'food' that was soon to be rotten.
Slowly, so not to wake up Ice, Sammy seeped into her nest. Warmth soon encased her as she settled into a deep sleep. Her dreams were horrible that night with the picture of her mothers limp body painted onto her eyelids. She awoke to a dark figure sitting over her...
