Chapter 2:
It had been four moons since Smokey and his sisters' birth. Father had decided that four moons was a long enough wait to stay in the cave.
Father was going to take the three of us to go see everything on this side of the woods, our home.
"Smokey, Flower, Petal, let's go," called Father. Smokey was so excited to see everything of his home that had to offer them.
Before Smokey knew it, Flower and Petal were already out of the cave entrance. "Don't go too far, Flower and Petal, and be careful," warned Father.
"We will!" shouted Petal. Smokey watched as the two of them bounced around, their heads looking around, smelling everything. Smokey and his father stepped outside into the warm sunshine.
The sun soaked through his fur and reached his skin. He felt warm all over the place. He could smell all of the scents, they were all so sweet and some sharp-smelling. All of the trees, plants, and flowers were bathed in the warm glow of the sun.
"It feels good, doesn't it?" asked Father, looking at Smokey. Smokey nodded. "You're going to have to keep an eye on those sisters of yours," remarked Father, gesturing toward them. Smokey nodded again, a small smile on his face as he looked at his two sisters.
As they walked, he could smell new and enticing things that were rather interesting. He tried to figure out what smells were what from what that Father had described to him, but after a while, he gave up.
They then caught up to Smokey's siblings, Flower and Petal, after they had stopped to sniff a beautiful purple flower near a shore where water was rushing down.
"This is a river. It's where some types of prey like to live. For example, fish live in the water and water voles like to live near the water, hence their name. Also, those animals right there, they're called ducks," Father explained, who pointed with his front paw at the creatures on the water he called ducks.
We were all too amazed at the sight of the river and at our surroundings to acknowledge him.
There were some ducks that were quacking at each other that made no sense to Smokey, who also saw that there was a big stone archway going over the steady flow of the river.
There were also some beautiful flowers growing on the banks. It looked like something out of a dream where you could sit there and breathe in the sweet smells and just relax for the rest of the day.
Smokey decided to go down and have a little drink. He padded down some pebbles and when he reached the banks of the swift and flowing river, he bent his head down and drank. The water felt cold against his tongue but it was delicious so he drank some more.
"Let's keep going, we still have a long way to go," said Father. Smokey got up and began to follow his father while his sisters raced ahead of him and walked beside Smokey's father.
A little while later, we got to some sort of meadow. Lush, green grass covered the meadow while the trees were close, but not too close. There were also some plants and flowers and the occasional bush here and there.
Smokey could smell all the different scents of different prey before his father decided that it was getting late and that we need to head back. It was dusk by the time they arrived back home where they saw that Mother had caught some prey and was waiting for them. Then, we sat down and ate before we went to our nests and slept.
A/N: Ugh, bad ending in my opinion.. But anyways, hope you like it so far and please review!
