Thanks for reading. :) Please review.
Leaf ran after her red and white sister as she ran through the forest. Trees and bushes and colorful plants blured as Leaf quickly ran. The wind roared in her ears, making it vary hard for Leaf to hear anything.
"Wait up!" Leaf yowled, trying to keep up with her larger and stronger sister. Suddenly Fox fell on her face.
Leaf ran forward but stopped at the edge of a shallow stream. The water was clear and cold and at the bottom was slippery, round, gray and black stones all over.
"Oww!" Fox whined, sitting up from the middle of the small stream. Her fur was all wet and droplets of water hung on her whiskers. Fox twitched her whiskers to shake them off.
Leaf snorted and then did her best impersonation of her sister. "Toughen up! Lets go!" Leaf turned and jumped over the small stream by jumping on rocks that some cat slor something placed in the middle to walk on, then landing on the other side where soft grass grew.
"Oh, be quiet Leaf. You don't have to be mean!" Fox whined as she got out of the cold water next to Leaf.
"I was not. Those where your words." Leaf purred.
Fox shook out her dripping pelt, sending drops of water flying in every direction.
"Hey!" Leaf squealed and then ran forward. Here the ground sloped upwards and trees started to thin.
Fox sprinted after her but quickly caught up and ran past Leaf. Leaf puffed as she saw her sister running quickly. Leaf struggled to keep up. Now the soft grass had turned into large rocks and boulders you had to climb.
"Fox! Help!" Leaf screamed as she missed a leap and was hanging from a short cliff. Down below was hard stone rock. Fox leaped on the rock Leaf was desperately clawing at and then grabed Leaf's scruff.
Leaf sat there as Fox pulled her up onto the rock.
"Thanks." Leaf breathed, looking at her sister with green eyes that showed the same thanks she had said.
Fox nodded. "Come on, lets stop and rest." She mewed, sitting down on the rock. Leaf sat down next to her and sighed, looking out over the rock and towards the Twoleg's house. From here you could only see the top of the roof.
"Do you think that the Twolegs will ever come back?" Leaf asked her sister as she licked one of her frount paws that was bleeding for walking on the rocks.
Fox sighed and shook her head. "No."
Leaf looked at her paws. "Me either." She said in a whispered voice.
"Well will be fine." Fox promised. "Don't you remember what mom said?"
Leaf looked up at her sister for an answer.
Fox sighed then answered her own question. "She said that if we are ever lost, then we can hunt."
"Do you even know how to hunt?" Leaf asked her.
"Well, no." Fox answered quickly. "But it can't be too hard right?"
Leaf just shrugged. She did not believe that Fox, a six-moon old kit with no training- could hunt.
Fox mewed "Come on. Lets go back to the nest." Fox led the way down all the rocks slowly.
"Okay." Leaf agreed, it was getting cold out and now the sky was a bright orange and yellow and red, making it look like fire.
Leaf quickly followed her sister down the rock, into the forest, across the stream, and out of the forest. Leaf winced again when the hard pointy rocks hit the soft pads of her feet.
Fox padded on like nothing was different though. That was weird to Leaf.
Leaf let Fox jump through the window first and once Fox was in, Leaf jumped onto the window. Her back legs scraped against the side of the house trying to help her climb up onto the open window because she did not quite make the jump.
Leaf pulled herself up and then dropped down on the other side, in the Twoleg nest.
"It's so empty and quite..." Fox sighed, looking arouns the empty nest.
Leaf nodded. "But at least it is a place to stay." She padded over to a corner and curled up.
Fox yanwed and padded over as well. She layed doen next to Leaf and stretched out along the hard, shiny, wooden floor.
They both slowly fell asleep.
They will meet the clan soon. Please review. :)
