It wasn't long until the hunger would come back and the herbs could do nothing about it, "hey uh, do you know any good hunting places" Newtpaw asked.

"um, I don't know I only thought of shelter" Hunter said looking down, "of course we need to hunt! We're actual cats who hunt for themselves, not pampered cats like you"

Hunter lowered himself to the ground, in a submissive state, "Bloodpaw, leave him alone" Rosepaw defended, "why did we even follow him!?" he exclaimed

Thornpaw walked up to Bloodpaw, "come on, he's not worth it" he said giving Hunter a look too. As he both passed me, he looked at me. 

I nodded my head in thanks.

"Duskpaw, Rosepaw, Ashpaw, Dawnpaw, and Rainpaw, go see where we can hunt" I told them, "what are you doing?" Rosepaw asked, "Making warmth" I replied.

Once everybody went hunting I turned to Hunter, "I'm gonna need your help" I said, "o-okay..." he said shyly. I lead him outside, 

"Sorry about them, Bloodpaw...well he's just...that guy" I said, Hunter seeming to understand, "Thornpaw can be a prick, no pun intended, but he's bearable" I said, 

Hunter giggling at the pun, "so what are we doing?" he asked. I started to pick up dray sticks, "we're making a fire" I said.

With the materials we needed, and we were done with the construction. We were waiting for the others to return. I didn't know if there would be any prey, but of course, this place had been abandoned.

"so you were once a human?" he asked. I sighed, "yeah...I died in a car crash and some how ended up in a medicine den"

"do you remember? your name, family, and life?" he asked. Old memories rushed through my head like they were yesterday, "yes. My original name was Atlas, Atlas Hall" I said

"do you miss them? Like your family?" He asked, "I sometimes think of them, but I already have friends here" I answered not really know how I feel about it. 

"They must miss you very much," He said with a sympathetic look, "maybe, my sister probably got my room. she wanted my room and I said she could have it when I'm dead"

Hunter laughed, "there must be someone who cared for you" he said, "well, I never got into a relationship, just had my mother and little sister...with a husky" I said.

"oh I love dogs-" he started then giggled, "even though I'm a neko." I chuckled, "It's funny, we wanted a dog so bad and then we got a screaming husky" 

"Makes you think twice about it doesn't it?" he said. 

We both had a good laugh. 

"what about your family?" I asked. Hunters eyes clouded. I could see something happened, his eyes showed grief, loss, and...pain?

"My father died when I was four, but I got a step dad and I liked him. Later I found my mom dead" he said, 

"I also loved my younger step sister, she was born and it changed my life" he said smiling. I took a long lasting gaze at him, as if looking through him.

I let my gaze go up and down examining him. He noticed and seemed to blush with me checking him out. 

I looked carefully, noticing his fur,

Hmmm.....he's not telling everything, his eyes tell another story...there's bruising, he walks a little bit odd, barely noticeable, a small cut on his head above the fight eye....as if he's been hit with something and his family. Dad dead, nice step father, I thought,  "whats with the look?" he asked
