A/N: This is mostly based on a true story. I hope you like it. It's probably going to be really short, five chapters at the most.
Preface
A Missing Button
I fell, crying into my mother's arms. The cat I had, loved for eleven long years had just disappeared. There was no way she could be gone for nearly a month and come back now. Maybe, if we lived somewhere in the city she would have been found, but here the chances of a small cat surviving along with the coyotes, eagles, and foxes in Montana winter wilderness were slim; especially when that cat was sick, and old.
I couldn't believe she was really gone. She had survived living with that little girl who used to pull her tail and hit her almost long enough to be with her when she went off to middle school. She had survived dog fights, fox attacks, and many days without food. To me, she seemed invincible, like nothing could ever hurt her, but it was now time for me to realize that even the strongest warriors fall.
Buttons was gone.
This seemed to be the last in a series of unfortunate events for a long time though. My grandmother's death and my great-grandfather on my mom's side of the family hit me hard. I was surprised how I took this the same way. I remembered adults telling me about how loosing a pet could feellike loosing a family member, but they were wrong. Loosing a pet was loosing a family member.
I would really like reviews for this but I won't be pushy, I understand if you don't want to. Oh, and the name of the cat was Buttons, just incase you didn't get that.
