Chapter one:
Ruby's P.O.V.
It is nice here in me and Sock's new home. It's comfy and warm.
I'm sure Tiny would have gotten a home especially after I told him what happens to unwanted kittens. I was doing it to scare him but now that I am older I think that it's a good thing I did so he came a little out of that stupid shell.
Socks is sleeping in the bed our housefolk got for us and I am walking around looking for something interesting to do.
I wonder how tall Tiny has become since we last saw him though I doubt he got very big since he is the runt after all.
Our housefolk comes over to me and pets me.
I purr and rub against our housefolk loving the attention.
Socks wakes up as the housefolk runs past after giving me attention. He comes over to me. "Hey Ruby what's up?" He asks with a yawn.
I glance to the window. "Mama doesn't live to far right? How about we go see her and I bet Tiny is still living there." I offer looking back to him.
"Sure. It's been many moons since we last saw mama. Let's go." Socks agrees.
We race out the cat door in the back yard and we climb to on top of the fence running along it as we head towards where mama lives.
She'll be so happy to see us!
We pass by some other cats in their own back yards but I don't pay any attention to them as we rush to mama's place.
"Up ahead!" Socks yowls happily as he spots the home up ahead.
We jump down into the back yard and head for the cat door going inside.
"Mama!" I call as we look for her.
She comes running over to us looking extremely happy to see us. "Socks! Ruby! I'm so happy to see the two of you again and I am so happy the two of you are doing well." She says as she nuzzles us.
I look around trying to see if Tiny is here but there's no sign of him.
Socks and mama come into the room where I am which has the basket we use to sleep in.
I look to mama. "Mama where's Tiny? Did he go to his new home?"
Mama's attitude changes from happy to sad upon the mention of Tiny. She sits and hangs her head in sorrow. "I don't know Ruby." Her voice sounds a little old and tired. "When the housefolk took you two away I went to check on Tiny thinking he was in the basket but he wasn't. When I went looking for him all I was able to find was his scent trail leading into the forest with some drops of blood only for the scent to move deeper into the city. I looked and looked but I never found him. I have no idea where he is at the moment." She closes her eyes holding back tears.
Me and Socks exchange a worried glance upon hearing this.
Tiny is missing!?
We go to try to comfort mama but I worry about our brother.
Me and Socks may not have liked him when we were kits but he's still our brother.
I have seen some of the city cats that don't have a housefolk to look after them, their vicious, scary and fight to survive every day only having the strong pull through.
It's a cruel world out there and I can only hope Tiny has not fallen victim to death.
