Focusing his bright optics on the tall ginger tom and the small, nimble, smokey-gray she-cat, which he dubbed "Orange" and "Gray" respectively. With a flick of a tail-tip, he came bounding over to the smokey-gray feline, her jaws moving rapidly, which he assumed was speaking. Tilting his head, he meowed a slurred reply, despite the silence that had came from him and her. Snowkit flattened his ears as he saw Mother's furious expression, tears leaking out of her soothing honey orbs, her silky tabby fur in clumps and overall was a ruffled mess. Mother's ears were pinned against her skull and her plumy tail lashed wildly, her jaws wide open and moving, small flecks of slober flying from her mouth as she cried to Orange and Gray. Wondering if he had done something wrong, he let out a whimper and pressed his silky white coat against the Earth, lumps of dirt clotting in his fur as he flattening his ears and stared at the ground, before a flash of ginger movement caused him to flinch from the corners of his eyes, which was Orange nudging him to his feet, smiling reassuringly at him, pearly, white fangs glistening from his mouth, the long fangs had sprouted from his gums, while all Snowkit had were tiny, needle thin fangs and teeth.

Flashing a smile back, he gathered himself to his paws, his eyes widening as he saw a creature, with small wings thinner then a leaf, with a beautiful orange, black, brown and white spotted pattern printed onto it, a small, black creature bore these wings, curled stems grew from his tiny head. Raising a broad paw to swipe at the creature, numerous vibrations in the ground made him aware of a cat that was speaking loudly, but he thought nothing of it, turning back to Mother, Orange and Gray, he saw a small flicker of movement in Orange's tail and raced towards the tomcat, crashing into his long, broad leg. The fluffy white tom gazed up at him, blinking as he gazed into his friendly, emerald orbs, a flick of confusion flashed in his blue ones, what had they called him for? Was he supposed to go fetch something? Go somewhere?

Soon after that, everything was a blur, Mother gazing up at the sky blankly, her amber eyes filled with no love or compassion, which was all he saw when she looked at him, dry tears stained her cheeks, her plumy tail curled tightly around her trembling form as she lowered her head to the ground, her claws digging into the ground as she widened her mouth, then slowly closed it, covering her eyes with her paws as she heaved violently. Snowkit flattened his ears and began to pad over, but he knew better. The powdery tom continued his chase after the butterfly, unaware of the silent yowls and the pounding pawsteps of terrified cats, a large shadow looming around camp,. The tomkitten shook it off and unsheathed his claws, hooking them onto the butterfly's wing, he pulled it gracefully to the ground, batting at it furiously.

Within a few, slow heartbeats that seemed like forever, sharp daggers pierced into his back, claws landing inbetween his shoulder blades, causing him to let out a slurred gasp. Snowkit felt himself rise, Mother and Orange racing towards him as he rose into the heavens. They both took a mighty leap and hooked their claws onto the creature that was carrying him, feathers whizzing by his face as he felt himself being lowered to the ground. Suddenly, a weight was lifted off his back, the hawk crashed to the ground, the two cats landing safely on the ground, but Snowkit let out a wail, an agonizing pain seared through his leg, the bone completely twisted, he had never felt a pain so agonizing.

Snowkit's icy gaze shot down to his left foreleg, it was twisted at an unnatural angle, blood squirting from the deep gash. The fluffy kitten felt a fierce grip on his scruff, raising up into the air. Looking down, tears dripping from his eyes, he could tell it was Mother carrying him, from her small, pale brown paws thumping against the bloodstained grass. Snowkit flattened his small ears against his head, his muscles tensing as he was placed in a tiny, green, silken-like nest. He laid his head on his paws, and soon fell into a deep, pain-numbing slumber.
