Winter is my favorite time of year. Here's a story dedicated to it. This is just for fun, so NO FLAMING PLEASE!
…...
Cupcake sat contentedly under the Christmas tree with Twix. The two animals marveled at the beautiful lights and ornaments before hearing a knock at the door. The door opened, revealing one of the housefolk holding a cat in her hands. The cat appeared to be injured and unconscious. The girl ran into the other room, tears streaming down her face. . Cupcake understood very little human, but she tried to pick up on the conversation going on between the girl and her parents.
"Cat…forest …fighting…injured…keep…help…present." Is what Cupcake could understand of the girl's side of the conversation.
"Maybe…responsibility…keep…understand?" Cupcake looked at Twix.
"What are they saying?" Twix asked excitedly.
"From what I can make of it, cats fighting in the forest injured it and the housefolk kit wants to keep it to help it. She says that it could be her present." Cupcake replied, purring happily at her thorough knowledge of how to speak housefolk.
"Another cat? What, you aren't bad enough?" Twix barked worriedly.
"Shut up." Cupcake hissed. "Just go to sleep."
….
The next morning, Cupcake awoke to find the injured cat awake and staring out the window. She got a good look at the newcomer. His orange fur stood out against the room's blue wallpaper, and he had a longing look in his green eyes. Running out from her spot under the couch, she leaped up next to the mysterious cat.
"Good morning." Her sudden appearance caused the cat to unsheathe his claws and practically jump straight up into the air. They stared at each other for a moment before she spoke again.
"Tough night, huh?" She inquired as the cat followed her gaze to his many deep scars.
"…yeah." The cat sighed.
"It looks pretty serious. It's a good thing my housefolk found you, or you would have been a goner!" Cupcake remarked. The cat shrugged silently and returned to staring out the window.
"My name's Cupcake. What's yours?" she asked, dismissing his odd behavior.
"Firestar. My name is Firestar."
