I'm doing another one for Ecaflowne, since people liked the first one, try this one on for size!
Cat Tale - Believe
Amidst the fiery forest, two tiny cat girls ran from their home, only together because of convenience. One had pink hair, blue eyes and tan skin, the other moon white hair, aquamarine eyes and white skin, an albino of the neko clan, called the "Ghost". All the rest of their village had been killed, and their murderers were searching for any survivors, so the two kittens fled so they could live through the night.
At the edge of a ravine, they hid out in some bushes. The moon blue-eyed cat girl looked back from where they came, her silver and black striped tail waving back and forth in nervousness. "I can still smell the smoke and blood from here, Merle," she observed, licking the back of her furry hand before swiping it over her eyes. "My eyes still hurt from having to walk through all that fire to save you."
Merle looked over the lip of the wide gap and whispered, "I just hope nobody finds us here, those awful men wanted to sell us as slaves if they didn't kill us! Shiko, do you think we can find a way across?"
Shiko looked one way, then the other. "Oh look! There's a bridge. Let's go see what's on the other side."
On all fours, the kittens ran to the rope bridge, not making a sound as they did so. Shiko sniffed around first, then waved to her younger companion. They took off across the bridge, it swaying a little as their hands and feet hit the wood planks. The pair looked back to see if anyone had followed them, only to see torches coming their way.
"Come on, Merle!" Shiko hissed, and with a swish of their tails, they disappeared into the brush.
