The fox growled, stepping forward, saliva dripping from it's mouth. Suddenly, there a loud yowl from the bushes. Stream and Blaze crashed through the ferns and pounced on the fox. The fox yelped in surprise. Rosemary looked at the kit, and rushed forward to it. The kit cowered under her. "I'm Rosemary, I'll help you get up." The kit nodded, gratitute in it's eyes, and let Rosemary pick up it's scruff and climb up to the tree top. "My name is Snowflake, thank you!" The kit whispered. Rosemary nodded, and then truned her attention to the fox.
The fox was backing away from Stream and Blaze, and then whipped around and sprinted away. Rosemary sighed in relief, picked Snowflake up, and bounded down the tree. Blaze and Stream didn't have many injuries, just a few scratches here and there. "Thank you!" Rosemary exclaimed as she put Snowflake down. Blaze nodded, "I heard that kit's shriek," He meowed, motioning toward Snowflake, "And I told Stream and we came to help you." He finished.
Snowflake padded up to them, "Thank you for saving me! I'm Snowflake, and I'd be dead by now without you, your sister, and Rosemary." She meowed, dipping her head. Blaze and Stream introduced themselves to Snowflake and then got back to their home. "Well," Rosemary started, "Where do you live? I need you to get back to your mother. She would be worried about you." Rosemary meowed. Snokeflake hung her head, looking at her paws, and then looked at Rosemary with sad eyes.
"Could I stay with you? My mother is dead." The little kit asked hopefully. Rosemary smiled, "Of course you can. I'll be your mother." Rosemary meowed softly. Snowflake smiled and then Rosemary picked her up and padded to her den. She gently put Snowflake on the moss nest, and she fell asleep right away. She decided to go hunting, and bumped into her old house. There were humans in armor and they were - fixing?- the house, wearing bright orange hats. But something else was new, too. One of the humans with armor had a limp body in their arms.
Rosemary peered closer, and with a sad heart, she knew who it was. The body was burned and the cat was definitely dead. Maple really saved me... She thought, drooping her head. The body was her mother. She let out a silent wail and sat down, staring sadly at the grass. She sighed and them stood up. My mother would want me to keep moving. She thought. She would want me to feed Snowflake. She quickly caught a mouse, along with lots of struggling and cursing.
She held the limp mouse in her jaws and padded back to her den. Snowfalke was softly snoring and she gently nudged her awake. They shared the mouse and then Rosemary realized the sun would be setting soon. She groomed Snowflake until she fell asleep again and she curled up, too. She closed her eyes, thinking, Thank you.., and she fell to the gentle embrace of sleep.
OMG!! Her mother: RIP!!! Also, Snowflake is now Rosemary's adopted daughter! What do YOU think the realationship between Rosemary and Blaze is??
