A white cat's paws thrummed against the rain wet grass. Anything to get away from her! The white she-cat thought. Her pure white paws continued to run until she couldn't hear her sister's paw steps running away. It's hard to believe she's my sister!
The she-cat was so busy thinking she didn't notice the hole at the beginning of the woods at the edge of the city. Her paws slipped and she fell into the hole. Help!
Her back hit the ground, it wasn't really a far fall. It was just terrifying.
"Who goes there!" A voice called from the darkness of the tunnel.
"I'm sorry! I just fell in here an-" she stopped herself when a big brown tabby tom faced her. Oh mouse! What do I do?! Panic surged through the white cat's body.
"It's fine" the tom growled then added, "come into our tunnels. You must be cold and hungry".
The she-cat nodded and followed him into a main area. It was breath taking! And in the middle of everything was a small pile of prey. The brown tom twitched his tail, "pick something. Then you can meet the others"
The white she-cat took a vole from the prey pile and followed the tom once more into a new opening. Again. Breath taking.
A brown, yellow, ginger, white and gray she-cat was grooming her pelt, a medium haired silver tabby with white highlights was eating a squirrel and a black tuxedo tom was stretching. All their eyes rose to the powerful tom and the white she-cat.
"Everyone, I found this cat in our tunnels. She looked cold so I brought her in" the tom meowed.
The tuxedo and the silver tabby nodded, and the muti-coloured she-cat spoke the words, "hi! I'm Mosaica! And that's Shadow and Titanium. Oh and the brown tom is Bramble". Her mew was happy and cheerful. The she-cat walked in,
"It's nice to meet you all" she meowed. "You too I suppose" Titanium mewed, Shadow nodded. The white she-cat looked down at her paws and carried her vole to where the others were.
As the five cats sat in silence a single snowflake fell.
No cat noticed except the white she-cat.
"Did you see that?" She asked.
"No, what?" Shadow replied. "Uh... Nothing"
"By the way... What's your name?" Mosica asked.
"Oh... It's Snow"
