Place: the lake
Time estimate: Power of the three after long shadows (I haven't read sunrise yet)
"Alexandrina wanders around all the time" A woman consoled an old man. "She's probably looking around the new land you got. You did get it mostly for her."
"But she's blind; she should have at least told us where she was going"
"I know my daughter, she's the type of person who will figure things out and will always be as safe as you can get in the end"
"I suppose your right"
"Besides this is the first time she's been to Europe and she can't see the real sights here like she can see in the woods around the lake" She paused "If she doesn't come back tomorrow, dad we'll start searching that—"
"Hey mom, grandpa I'm home!" Alexandrina walked into the room. "I found some stray cats in the wood and I was wondering if you could vaccinate some of them?"
"Of course I can" her mom said definitely "but not at this very moment"
"That's fine I'll go into the woods again"
Alex's view…
Alex walked out of the room and wandered outside again. She walked on a trail towards the lake. The sun felt nice on her back and the wind rustled through her hair. Alex finally made it to the lake which wasn't at all far from the horse's pasture. I sure hope grandpa doesn't open this to the public. She shuddered at the thought of many people tearing through her wood.
I wish I could change my shape so that I could see.
Suddenly, Alex felt her skin crawl and she felt like she was changing rapidly. Her hands and feet turned to paws and suddenly Alex could see. Blindness had crippled her forever and she found a way to divert it. Even though she wasn't exactly well, human. Alex examined herself closely. I wonder if…
"Blue paw" she said aloud. The paw turned what she now recognized as blue. It was the same colour as the sky.
"Green paw" It turned a shade of the leaves around her.
"Black everything" She slowly turned black.
"Now this is cool"
Alex bounded down to the lake and looked at her reflection. She realized she was incapable of smiling so she purred, a new concept to her. She was shorthaired and pure black. Her hair got longer on her chest stomach and tail.
Alex then had another idea "tiny white spots on my side that look like stars across the sky" this was getting really fun, "And one white spot on my chest, larger that looks exactly like a five point star"
Although Alex had never even seen another cat, she knew that she was one of a kind and beautiful. She walked around getting used to her body. She could hear farther and smell farther than ever and she could taste the air.
Suddenly she could hear wailing of another cat. She pricked her ears…that way. Alex ran silently and light footed to a awful sight a fox was attacking a she-cat. Little kittens meowed in the back ground.
"Stay away from my kits!" The cat wailed throwing herself at the fox.
Alex didn't hesitate she leaped right in raking her claws through the foxes back. "Run" she spat at the she cat but it was too late "The fox smacked the she cat and with a sickening thud, the cat hit the ground, still. The fox shook Alex off his back and ran off.
Alex scrabbled over to the she cat. "please what is your name?" Alex asked the little brown tabby
"M-moss" the cat shuddered "T-take care of my kits they can eat meat now"
Alex tried to help her up but she moaned in agony " What are their names" She asked knowing that the cat would die in the next two minutes or so."
"Gray, Ice, Lily, Leaf, Rain and Owl." Moss shuddered and was still for the last time.
Alex dipped her head and walked over to the kits in the small den.
"What's wrong with mother?" A little silver tabby asked.
"Your mother is gone I must take care of you now"
"Mother!" A little black tom wailed.
"Don't worry I told your mother I would care for all of you"
"W-who are you" a tiny extremely light gray tabby kit asked.
Alex came up with something off the top of her head "I'm Star"
Star curled up in the little den with all five kits cuddling her closely "I miss mother"
A black she kit said.
"I know" that was all Star could say.
They slept in the den that night. The next day Star easily caught two rabbits for everyone to share.
"We are going to leave here, and seek a safer home ok"
"Yes Star"
"Would you all tell me your names?"
"I'm Lily" the silver she cat stepped forward. She was definitely the most graceful even with kitten fur.
"my name is rain" the black tom said running back and forth in front of Star.
" Ice's my name!" the gray tabby she cat was probably the runt.
"I'm Gray" the gray tom strutted forward and then joined the other kits.
"I am Owl" the black she kit walked forward, confidently although she looked like she was suppressing a shudder when she looked at her mother.
"lets get moving then" then she added honestly I don't know how to care for you so I am hoping that someone we meet will."
"We've never been this far!" Rain bounced beside her.
"Just think of this as a great journey" Star said.
I hope I'm doing the right thing.
