Callisto hissed as a spasm of pain shot up her front paw and she slipped for the seventeenth time since she and her sister had started their journey. (Romani had started to count when Callisto had refused her help several times)
"Calli you really need to stop! Surely your paw must be sore and I'm sure you'll feel better after a good nights rest" The red and black calico watched as her younger sister slowed and came to standstill.
Romani had absolutely no idea where they were. The street was dark and foreboding and there was an old disused warehouse facing them. The street was muddy from the nights rain and scattered with litter. It was not exactly what you would call home but it would have to do, they had no where else to go.
Callisto's pained cries crashed into her ears again and Romani glanced up. Calli's fur was splattered with mud and her tabby coat was dappled blood from the cut on her front paw.
Callisto and Romani were orphans. Their father was unknown to them and barely twenty-four hours ago they had seen their mother killed while trying to defend them, by a merciless unknown tom.
This unknown tom was the cause of their fear and running. The reason why they were running, Romani was still unsure about and as for where they were going, she had given up hope. They had no-where to go. Their problems worried Romani deeply.
Romani, although five months older then her sibling, was still only a kitten herself, and struggling with the responsibility of caring for her younger sister.
In the last day she and Callisto had experienced more confusion and danger then they ever had before in their short but eventful lives. The ordeal with the strange tom was still fresh in her mind and it bounced around in there as she began to mull it all over.
Romani could remember a slash of claws, blood and her mothers frantic cries for her and Calli to run and hide and fast!
Calli was enjoying herself, the sun was high in the sky and she was warming her back while lying outside of their den, fully at peace. She began to hum quietly to herself.
Suddenly her peace was broken by her mothers frantic cries and a sound as if the whole of her den was being turned upside down! She leapt to her feet and was just about to enter the house to investigate when Romani came flying out.
She felt herself being pulled away but she wanted to help! Her mum was I there! why was Romani running away? She couldn't understand! They kept on running until they reached a hole in the ground and tumbled down into it. There they stayed, hardly daring to breath. Calli wasn't sure what had just happened but she wasn't about to ask.
Romani waited until it was dark. She had chosen their hiding place well and there was a cler view of their den. She has seen the strange tom leave about a hour ago but was still to scared to leave, should he be waiting for them in the shadows. Calli was getting restless so, gathering up all of her courage Romani crept, keeping Calli behind her, back to the den.
They returned slowly and with a deathly silence. Creeping through their den, which now looked like a hurricane had gone trough it several times over. Romani's mum was lying barely conscious amongst most of their now destroyed belongings. She was bleeding badly and struggled to get her words out.
"Calli, go and sort out the kitchen" Romani hurried Calli away from the scene so that she would not have bad last memories of her mother.
A pool of blood had formed all around Romani's mother and her face and body were badly scratched and beaten. Wheezing constantly as her life drifted away, Romani's mother struggled through the last thing she would ever say to her eldest daughter.
"Get away Romani take Calli and run. Don't ever let him find you" She gripped Romani's front paws tightly. "Promise me you won't let him find you" Her voice was shaking with passion.
"I promise mother" Romani replyed and, as her mother's body felt heavy on her lap she sighed.
"I promise"
