  Nightmare walked around for a while, and picked up a cat scent, mingled with the scent of Crow.
  It headed towards the gray cities. Other moth cats, including herself, called it the Fur-City.
  She took a deep breath. Her paws itched with the urge to run away. But she was intent.
  Nightmare had to save Crow.

  It was sunhigh by the time she picked up the scents again.
  How big is this place?! She groaned inwardly. I really think that Cumans hunt us just for fun.
  Afterall, that Cuman killed Ma...
  Nightmare winced at the bitter memory of the shredded body, with nothing left.
  Not even a bone.
She paused as she bumped into a door. Suddenly, a cuman rushed out. A familiar scent hit her.
Crow!
She glimpsed black in a cage as the Cuman rushed away.
Towards the wilds again.
Nightmare wouldn't ever give up, she was close.

  By the time she reached the scent again, her paws were aching.
  Sunset light beamed through the trees.
  "Crow?" She called out. Nightmare shivered in the cold shade.
  She heard a muffled squeak, silenced by a slapping sound.
  No sound continued.
  But foreboding struck her like lightning, fast and too quick to even react to.
