Gloomy Trip

Here's the update. I hope you like it.

Black omnious clouds blanketed the horizon. Sheets of rain poured from their eyes, lightning flew and devasticated everything in sight. Thunder rumbled and rolled the landscape into a silent death trap. Slowly a river of hard rocks flew from above, cascading into the lake and making splashing sounds. Fish and frogs jumped and ran to their shelters. A small leopard cub ran under a log and shook his fur coat dry.

Slowly the rain came down harder onto the back of the histerical baby purple dragon. His movements were slow and lazy, his head drooped and his small muzzle lapped up the tears from his eyes. Coming to a small cave he layed himself down and slept. Horrible dreams plagued him all during that one night without his mother to protect him. Soon he woke up to that sweet sensational feeling of warmth. Raising his head he saw a yellowed cat purring at him. Screaming he ran out of the cave and into that still rainy day. The cat followed him and soon caught up.

Slowly grabbing him in her mouth she carried him back to the cave. The cat purred again and dropped him into a pile of about four kittens. One was a black with a small diamond in the center of his head. He also had three stockings. A grey female kitten was the biggest of the four. She was a beautiful greyish color with no white whatsoever on her body. A smaller white male sat down by a corner and licked his paws. His nose was grey. The smallist and kindest of them all was a spotted yellow and black leopard male with four white stockings.

The small dragon was very scared. He hunched his back whenever one of them walked over to him. His frills stood on end and he hissed. The kittens hissed back. The grey one ran over and swiped her mighty small claw and caught him on his chin. The dragon screamed and the mother cat came running.

"What's going on here?" She hissed.

"We're just playing." The black kitten said.

"He's scared mom." The leopard said.

The mother cat walked over and plopped herself over the dragon. He shied away and hit the wall. The mother cat smiled and slowly licked his bleeding chin.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Spyro." Spyro hissed.

"What a pretty name." She exclaimed."So, where's your mother?"

Spyro fell down in a fit of tears. His heart ached for her once more. He remembered every detail of his first few days with her. The mother cat looked on and smiled. She knew, she couldn't keep him, yet she felt that he needed protection. Her motherly instincts kicked in and she slowly and carefully manuevered herself so that her children could suckle. The dragon looked at her strangely. His blue eyes questioning her movements. She smiled and beckoned for him to come and join the family. He stayed were he was though. His small nistrils moving in and out. The rain continued to rain and it sang itself in every ear in that cave. Even the dragon was feeling sorrow for the rain and the ones out there with no shelter.

That leopard kitten sure was persistant because almost every single minute, he'd walk over and try to play tag with Spyro. Spyro though would always butt him away with a swipe of his tiny tail. The grey kitten though was another story. She kept looking at him the weirdest of ways. Her fuzzy tail always caught his face and her small white claws would always be trying to find their way into his soft fleshy hide. The other two males made sure to remain as far as they could possibly away from Spyro.

Spyro did eventually learn their names. The only female, the grey kitten, was named Ginger. Her white brother with the grey nose was Spencer and the black kitten with the white stockings and a diamond in the middle of his head was named Cecil. The Leopard kitten was named Hunter. The mother name was Xara Star.

I felt that Spyro needed to have a family, so incomes the baby Hunter. Hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it.
