Running with the Wind
Teo felt the wind whip past his fur, his tail waving with the fierce wind he was facing. He jumped of the post he was sitting on and sunk in the snow. He shook the snow from his snow-clung fur. His deep clay colored eyes squinted into the snow, and he saw the faintest light of a room in a house. He trudged through the snow until the snow got much less deep as it was cold. Teo walked inside. He had forgotten how far he could travel in snow without noticing or remembering where he was going. Odd. Right when Teo walked inside his home, the snow melted, making a puddle of water on his two-leg's wooden floor. Of course the two-leg hadn't noticed at all what Teo had done- of course it was the heat's fault- and was sleeping. Teo licked up the water which happened to still be a tad cold. Teo prod his brother Sage awake. Sage shuddered and meowed, "Do you have to do that before I wake up?" Teo meowed dryly, "I do that all time, Sage!" Teo meowed a mrrow of laughter to his words. Sage went outside and saw the minor and temporarily standing titanium fencing and gate that stood between the house- Sage and Teo's life- from the life outside the gate and the fence. Then a huge gust of wind knocked down the titanium gate, and snow only got worse. Sage wheeled around to look at tree that towered over them and meowed, directing his voice to Teo, "It's a good thing you got back before the storm hit," Teo glanced outside and nodded his reply. "Sage, have you ever wondered what life would be like outside our gate?" Sage glanced down from the ladder that also stood beside the tree, a creaky, old ladder that had killed one of the two-legs that lived here before. Sage replied, "Yeah. In fact, we could do that now," Teo's eyes darted quickly between out the gate, down the snowy path, and into the forest where anything could happen, and his brother, a decisive Cat and his own kin, and his brother to top it off. Teo looked at the fallen gate and meowed, "Are you sure? Look, the storm…" Sage leapt from the ladder he was sitting upon which fell onto the carpet. "Jeez, 'ya know what, Teo? Living outa this place would be a miracle," Teo's eyebrows were up and Teo inquired, "What?" Sage closed his eyes and then they flew open and he meowed, "You heard, didn't you?" Teo sighed. He had never ventured far from the gate, yet he thought the yard would be too much to handle. "Are you sure it'd be assuring to us?" Sage also gave a long, hard sigh and silently meowed, "All will be clear to you sooner or later, my brother, now lay down and wait for the next day," The Day came fast, as well as less snow, only a drift apart from the storm the day before from the small one today………….
