Crucifix, as Sparky and her littermates have heard, is a big, scary meanie cat who has long fangs and claws that will dig into your neck and throat and that he will get us and we got to run away and...

Sparky heard so many stories of this cat who is out to get them that she wasn't as afraid anymore. She was still a bit afraid, but she wouldn't admit it.

"Mom, why do we have to run away? Can't we just talk to Crucifix?" Sparky would receive a long lecture. Boo-hoo. "Mommy, I'm tired! Do we have to keep going?" She would receive a hiss.

Sparky didn't know how this Crucifix could hurt them; they were so far away now, right? but she was wrong.

That fateful, unfortunate day when Crucifix had caught up to them was horrifying! It was all a blur, and they had scattered... and... and.....

"Hello? Fluff? Strike? Sunny? Anyone? Mom?" Sparky yelled at the top of her lungs, which was now even more high-pitched than before. As the two-moon old kit walked aimlessly around, trying to steady her breathing and not shake in fear. Sparky pushed through some bushes, tumbling outward into a clearing, head over heels.

"Oof." The ginger kit sat up and shook out the dirt and leaves in her short pelt, looking around in fear. "Why didn't I listen to mom?" Sparky asked herself. It was all her fault. If she just went along with her mother and not questioned her, everything would have been all right. Now she was lost, and separated from her family.

Sparky stood up and swiveled her ears, listening for anyone in the area. She had to stay strong if she wanted to live, and make new friends if any strange cats were around to help.

Lullaby, who was a simple loner, had been looking around for some food when she heard the kit. She began to walk rather noisily towards the kit who was in plain view. Lullaby looked at Sparky for awhile "Are you lost? Where's your mom? You look a bit young to be in the woods alone" Lullaby looked at the tiny thing on the ground before looking behind her in a little bit of worry.

Suddenly, the kit heard a cat approaching. Ah! It's Crucifix! Sparky quickly turned around and bushed up her fur, hissing at the stranger who dared to....

The ginger loner stopped her stance, and her eyes widened. "Oh. Hi there! Who are you?" she asked the cat tentatively, not hearing the questions that the stranger had already asked. Sparky stared at her in curiosity. Although she seemed friendly, Sparky knew she shouldn't keep her guard down. but at least it wasn't a scary cat.

The dark fluffy she cat purred", I am Lullaby, I actually live around here.. You seem a little tense, are you okay?" The same question of where his family was seemed to echo in her mind continuously, but she felt fuzzy inside seeing the kit, being a "failed" mother.

Sparky was calmed by the she-cat's gentle voice, and she relaxed for a second.

"I'm okay. It's just... It's just..." The ginger kit's eyes watered, and she clawed the grass in front of her. She blinked away the tears. Filled with fear, Sparky cautiously looked around the clearing. A warm breeze rustled the green trees.

"I'm lost and my mom is gone and I don't know where my brothers and sisters are. They probably got eaten by him and if I just listened then this would never have happened and one of my siblings didn't escape from the scary cat because he caught up to us. Then we ran away and now I'm... the small kit burst out wildly.

"I'm lost."

Lullaby felt a deep sympathy for the kitten and she purred "How about I help you find your mother, hmm? Certainly she couldn't be too far off.." The she cat thought to herself, certainly she must be looking for him.. Even if so, I wont leave him alone... He looks so frightened and afraid of this him.. I shouldn't mention it..

[Deleted]

Sparky sniffled. I shouldn't be scared! Crucifix is just some cat. He's not the boss of me! She flattened her ears and let out a low, but silent hiss that Lullaby couldn't hear. That was the same thinking that got her into this mess!

The kit straightened up and puffed out her chest, then exhaled. "Okay." Then she stood up, legs wobbly, and went over to Lullaby, stopping a few inches away. I don't think mom's around here anyway. Didn't she go in the other direction? Sparky shuffled he paws in thought, then stopped.

Lullaby looked at the kitten and soothingly meowed "I am following your lead." and she watched the kitten and knew that whoever the mother of her was would be coming back, and that even if they didn't find her today, they could find her tomorrow. She looked at the sky, looking at its orange color. The she cat meowed "It is going to get dark soon, would you like to rest and then search for her tomorrow?" She knew with all her heart, she would fight to help this kitten reunite with her mother.

Sparky also looked up, noticing how late it had gotten. Mezmorized, she watched the sunset, its rays bleaching the sky a mutitude of colors. Feeling relaxed again, the ginger kit yawned.

"Yeah, I think we should search for her tomorrow." Although she said this, deep down she felt guilty for wasting this cat's time. She knew finding her lost family would be harder than expected. I don't even know if mom is looking for me. Suddenly, her stomached growled, sounding extremely loud.

How could Sparky forget? She hadn't eaten a solid meal in days! The only substance the kit had fed on was her mom's milk, and that was only in morsels since she and her littermates were growing up.

"but can we hunt first?" Sparky asked.

[Lunalupusvenator]

Lullaby's whiskers twitched and she smiled", of course, what do you prefer?" Lullaby waited for the kitten to tell her what she wanted, it wouldn't bother Lullaby either way, if she wanted a rabbit she'd go to the other end of the earth for this kitten. The she-cat suddenly coughed violently, and she lay her head onto the ground, and pulled at the black leather collar that was strangling her. She pulled until something made a stretching noise until there was a pop, and the collar seemed just a tad bit looser. She sighed with relief, and looked back at the kitten who was laying on the ground. She purred, acting as nothing had happened, having a soothing and warm smile.

Now don't move... Don't move just yet..
Yeou pounced onto a squirrel with glory and quickly killed it with a bite to the neck. She was about to bring it back to her den and feast on it when a wail was heard and the brown she cat dashed into the clearing, scared out if her fur and surprised.
"Is everyone okay? I heard a kit,"she asaid, dropping the squirrel at her feet. Spotting a kit with fluffed up fur and what seemed like its mother(but she didn't have milk?) she relaxed a bit, although she was still confused about some things.
"Is everything okay now?" she asked again.

[Lunalupusvenator]

Lullaby was startled by the brown cat and she fluffed up in surprise, although because her fur was very messy there wasn't much of a difference. Lullaby half heartedly snarled",Who are you?" She wondered if this was the cat scaring the kitten and she became prepared to use every ounce of energy to protect the kitten, although she was terrified, not once had she fought another cat, but certainly it wasn't any different than catching a squirrel. She felt confident at hearing that, but remembered she was terrible at doing that too, and as she became less aware of the problem at hand, the mysterious brown cat, she became more interested with her own flaws. Suddenly the messy cat was looking into space rather than at her "enemy"

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

"Hi. I'm Yeou." The fluffy brown cat tilted her head sideways. Her eyes widened in confusions as the other she cat was now wondering and looking into space. "My name is Yeou. Ye-ou. Not you. Like, you me you. Yeou is my name. Not you," she quickly added on. She got into this useless argument with a different loner. Are you deaf? You not me! That pest's voice rang in her ears.
Turning her attention back to the kit and the other she cat, she asked, "Is this kit yours? I sure do love kits." Images of a limp, dead brown she-kit who looked exactly like her suddenly flashed across her eyes and she held back a strangled cry. "I really love kits, but its even painful to look at one after I lost Kai," she mumbled quietly, looking at her paws. She looked up again awkwardly. "Do you guys wanna share this squirrel with me?" She scooted the fat squirrel towards the two.
OOC: Yeou is pronounced almost like you so thats what that was about.

[Lunalupusvenator]

Lullaby was brought back to attention and her ears felt a bit hot " no it's not my kitten... We're looking for her mom," she meowed, still unsure about the cat. She watched as the cat tried to give her food and she became defensive and thought to herself, I can catch my own food... I'm not a house cat, I can take care of myself... She struggled for words and hesitantly smiled, thinking about the kitten ", I'm not that hungry, but I am more than sure Sparkykit is." Truth being, Lullaby didn't want this cats food, it was a huge favor, she didn't want to take anything that big from this strangers life. The she cat remained tense and fluffed out. She began to wheeze, her collar hugging her neck tightly as it normally did.

Sparky jumped up with surprise and hid behind Lullaby; she felt scared by the sudden appearance of the new cat.

The ginger kit watched as the two loners interacted. She noticed Lullaby looked twice as big with her fur puffed out, and flinched when the kit heard her silently snarl. Slowly, Sparky peeked her head out from behind the fluffy she-cat as she listened to the two she-cats talk.

Instantly, the loner kit was curious of this brown cat named Yeou. When she offered a big, fat, juicy squirrel, Sparky did not hesitate. After all, she was hungry! In less than ten seconds, half of the prey animal was gone. She paused to swallow down a big chunk, and realized how rude she'd been. The small kit turned to the strange brown she-cat and meowed her thanks. Then, she looked at Lullaby.

"Lullaby, you must be hungry too!" The little kit tilted her head with concern as the she-cat began to wheeze, her eyes widening.
