the sun shone down on the forest, and a bramble bush rattled as the grey flecked kit tumbled out, she cast her big blue eyes over the small clearing and blinked away the sleep from her eyes, she turned and looked back at the old bramble den half expecting to see her aunt following her out, stiffly picking her way over the sticks and stones on the forest floor. ash's heart fell as she remember the terrible thing that happened last night.. she remember the wracking cough that had shook the old she cat's frame, and then the terrible scent of death that had settled on her pelt, and the dull look in her eyes. ash shuddered and flattened her ears, trying to clear her mind of those thoughts. she padded a couple of steps into the forest, she wanted to find a new place to stay, she didn't want to stay in this place with its memories.... tags: willow |

Ferin trudged over a green grassy hill. Her eyes were half open with weariness. She gazed before her taking in the long brownish hilly expanse. Her eyes opened wider to search for a change in landscape. A forest was what she was looking for. Her eyes rested on a peninsula of green. After days of searching she found her destination. With a new surge of energy she started to bound forth towards the deep green inland of timber. As the trees grew taller, she ran faster hoping to find a clear stream to drink from, and plenty to eat. As she fantasized, her nose picked up a scent. She scented a cat. she stopped, before her the trees of her journeys end yards away. remaining entirely still her ears scanned the brush for noise of the cat in her midst. Silently, she backed behind a tree her ears picking up a faint patter of paw steps. Her eyes swept to see, a grey kitten....

ash's ears pricked as she heard a rustle behind her she turned quickly to see... nothing just a haze of new green leaves on brown bushes, she binked nd stammered "w..who's there!" her big eyes ere wider than usual and they were filled with fear and nerves. she padded forward a couple steps her whiskers twitching, and waited for an answer
ooc: it is her first time on her own

Ferin poked her head out, one ear back in question. She slowly stepped out she the age of the cat and her gaze softened. "hello there" her voice was soft and kind. "Don't be frightened" she reassured. "Now my name is Ferin what is yours?"

ash blinked up at the bigger cat, her fur was still fluffed out but the fear drained from her eyes, this cat surely couldn't be an enemy. ash stepped forward, her ears pricked and mewed squeakily "um.. im ash" she cocked her head "watcha doin here?"

"I am here to find a new home for myself, and you?" Ferin almost felt bad for the kitten. but alas she figured ash could stand up for herself.

seeing that Ash was uncomfortable, ferin eyed her for a second, then said. "well good fortune to you. If you are ever in danger, call my name, and I will come" She gave a curt nod then bounded into some hedges, disappearing into the tangled wood.

Ferin turned her face alight. "sure, we can explore together" Ferin had not seen another cat for weeks. this chance of making a friend opened gate ways in her mind. she started to walk again calling back "where do you come from?" she asked her curiosity pricked. Some one to talk to, at last.

ash's eyes lit and she padded after the older cat, then a question came and ash reached back in her mind to think if she had ever known another home, finally she mewed "... i dont know that i have ever had another home than here in the forest" then she mewed "and you?"

"my parents live far from here in the forest where I grew up. I have been searching for four years for a forest like this." Suddenly Ferin's ears pricked. "water" she announced. she padded briskly towards the sound. she pushed through the thicket to find a clearing. To her delight she took in her surroundings: a miniature stream bubbled into a sparkling bluish green lake in its center a smallish island stood, a willow tree almost covering the whole island. "oh ash come here, This is it! this is where I want to live. My father found it years ago. He named it Ferin tale's island. I was named later of course." Ferin turned to look at ash here eyes wide with joy.
