Don't Go!


"M-mother," I whimpered.

The snow froze my pelt, leaving me shivering.

"I love you, Lilja, remember that," the she-cat purred as she dug a hole in the snowy ground.

"B-but, w-why are y-you l-l-leaving?" I asked.

My mother began to sob. She placed me in the hole gently. "Y-You'll be safer here. So-Some other cat might find you. I've heard that there are w-wild-cats in this forest. M-Maybe th-they'll take you in..."

"B-But I want to be with you and p-papa," I insisted. "Don't leave me!"

The pale brown she-cat turned around and walked away.

"Mother! Don't go!"

Too late...

.

A/N: Just a quick message; for those who are wondering, Lilja is the Icelandic name for our "Lilly" or "Lily". It is pronounced "Lil-ya" I believe.

I really love the Icelandic and Swahili languages :3
