Wow, already another chapter? Yeah...this is a nice break from my other fanfiction Truth, and I really want to wright. Thank you for the reviews everyone!
Mist scented the air, she smiled as she scented a mouse, she dropped down into a crouch, stalking it. This would be her first catch, and she wasn't going to let it get out of her sights.
She crawled closer to it, and with a great leap, she pounced on it, she gave it a quick bite to the neck, and killed it before it could give a warning call. She picked it up and puffed out her chest. She turned around and began to head back over to where her den was, but she stopped herself. 'This isn't familiar territory...I must of went deeper in the forest than I thought.' Mist thought to herself, she dropped her mouse and looked around, feeling uneasy.
Where exactly was she? Mist shook her head. "Don't be such a scared kit!" She hissed to herself, she picked up her mouse and began to tread deeper into the forest, but the deeper she went, the darker the place seemed to get.
"Fe-fern? Are you around? Mom?" She called, she pinned her ears to her head, before she stopped dead in her tracks.
She slowly turned her head, and saw a set of bright yellow eyes, glaring at her. She gulped, feeling uneasy. "Hello...?" She meowed softly, but the cat said nothing.
Mist pinned her ears to her head. "This isn't funny!" She hissed gently, her muscles tensed up and she let out a terrified shriek as the cat jumped out of the bushes and pinned her to the ground. "Get off me!" She yowled.
"Wake up."
"H-huh?" Mist stared at the cat, her eyes showing confusion now instead of fear.
"Wake up already Mist!"
Mist opened an eye drowsily, noticing pale green eyes staring back at her. "Wh-what...? Fern, is that you?"
"No, it's a purple mouse...Of course its me you fur-ball!" Fern meowed, swatting her sister with a white paw.
Mist let out a purr of amusement as she got to her paws.
"Had that same dream again, huh Mist?" Fern meowed, licking her same white paw she had previously swatted her littermate with, and dragged it across her ear.
"Ye-yeah...but...this time, it felt so...real." Mist meowed, shaking her head. Fern rolled her eyes, and gave Mist a quick lick behind the ear to comfort her. "It was just a dream, come on! Dad's finally gonna take us out for a hunting trip." She purred. Mist perked her ears, and grinned jumping to her paws. "Sweet!"
The two siblings ran towards the exit of the abandoned barn, when a small black kit ran in front of them."Where are you going in such a hurry, Mist, Fern?" He meowed, looking back at the to.
Mist smiled. "We are just going to go on our first hunting trip, Spoon."
"Can I go with you?" Spoon asked, his eyes filling up with hope.
Fern frowned. "Well...i'm sorry Spoon, but no you cant. You need to stay with mother, where it's safe." She meowed, licking his head. Spoon sighed, but nodded. "Okay, just come back soon!"
Mist smiled. "We will! Tell Lilac to stay out of trouble!" Mist meowed, her whiskers quivering with amusement. She perked her ears as she heard a cat call Fern's and her name. The two bounded out of the barn and smiled at a dark brown tabby, with strong muscles that rippled beneath his pelt. "Ready, you two?" He meowed.
"Yes Basil!" Fern meowed, smiling. Mist nodded her head quickly.
Basil smiled, and then turned around and bounded towards the forest. "Remember those lessons that we taught you in the barn? Let's see what you two can do." He meowed, turning to the two. "Alright, off you go!"
Mist immediately padded the opposite direction of her sister, scenting a vole. Making sure she was downwind from the creature, she stalked quietly over to it. Bunching up her muscles, she pounced, missing it by a fox length, it gave off a warning call as it scurried away.
Mist got to her paws and hissed. "Well, there is still plenty of time to hunt..." She meowed, she shook out her pelt. "Going to have to find a new area though."
Mist padded through the forest, heading back to Fern's, Basil's, and her meeting place. Two mice and a small bird hung limply in her jaws. She dropped them in her spot, and she pinned her ears to her head as she noticed Fern's catches. She had a rather plumb rabbit, three mice, and a small bird in her pile.
"I had to go back for the rabbit..." She meowed sheepishly, shuffling her paws. Mist rolled her eyes and purred. "Dad will be proud of you!" The silver she-cat meowed with a smile.
After what seemed like moons to Mist, their father returned, carrying a sparrow and a vole. He dropped them and purred. "Good job you two!" He meowed. "We will have to come back to get the rest."
Mist picked up her catches, as did fern and Basil. The trio began to head back to the barn, as the sun began to set.
Halfway there, Mist bumped into a frozen Fern. "Hey! What's the-" Mist stopped, her eyes widening.
"Splash!" Basil yowled, dropping his prey and running towards the burning barn.
