The sky was dark and restless. Thunder growled over the forest like a great beast ready to pounce. She felt a weight in the air, as if her ancestors were judging her actions.

'I have to do this,' She thought, watching the flashing clouds. 'I just wish I didn't...'

The kittypet paused as she reached the edge of the Twolegplace, balancing on the wood fence as she gazed out into the forest. It was open, with little undergrowth to be seen. There'd be few places to hide if the wild cats caught her.

She sighed and took the plunge onto the leafy floor below. The pale she-cat trotted on, her pace urgent and swift. In her jaws a bundle of fur hanged loosely.

She recoiled at the strong, foreign scent of the forest cats as she crossed their border. 'I would keep you if I could, my dears,' She sighed, 'But if my housefolk see you, they'll...'

Her twolegs were kind creatures, but they wouldn't understand. She could barely wrap her head around what had happened!

'Oh, my poor kits!' She wailed silently.

The kittypet crouched beside a large tree, one that stood out amongst the birch wood. It's branches were expansive and it's roots knarled and thick. Gently, she placed the bundle in the dimp between two roots.

"I hope they accept you, my loves." She murmured to them. The two kits mewled and clawed blindly at the thick moss.

A flash of lightning overhead lit the strange and abnormal sight that laid amongst the roots.

The kittens were inseperatable. One was a golden she-kit, her body would be normal if it wasn't for her brother who grew from her like a branch on a tree. He sprouted from her side, his fur grey and tabby. Though he had no hind legs or rump, a long-furred tail grew beside his sisters.

They were conjoined.

Eyes misting with emotion, their mother nuzzled the two. It was clear why she could not keep them. Her eyes perked a conversation reached her eyes.

"We should get back before the storm breaks."
"Agreed."

"Two toms.." She whispered. She could see the pair in the distance, heading her way. "They'll take you back to their Clan," She turned to nuzzle her children for the last time. "They'll protect you, I promise.."

"Do you smell that?"
"Smells like a kittypet."
"I'm gonna investigate."
"Be quick about it; I don't want to get my paws wet!"

She had to go.

A loud boom of thunder cracked overhead. Her pelt bristled with fright and she turned, sprinting back to the Twolegplace. Behind her, she could hear the terrified mewls of her kits and her heart ached.

'I'm so sorry!' It took all the willpower she had to ignore her maternal instincts. She longed to scoop her children back up and keep them safe.

With a leap she bounded to the top of the fence again and paused to look back. She could see a pair of toms, one brown and the other grey investigating the kits. She held her breath and watched, ears pricked.

The kittypet breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them gently pick the kits up and head deeper into the forest. They were taking them in!

"Oh thank the ancestors..!" She murmured. Her children would be safe. With a heavy sigh, she turned and went back into the Twolegplace. "Perhaps one day I'll see you again..." She whispered hopefully.
