I'm looking for my family. You see, I was separated from them while playing with my littermates Scarlett and Shiver. My mom, Lilith, and my dad, Cypress, were inside eating their lunch together when it all happened.
Shiver was chasing Scarlett while I was following so close behind him, I almost had his tail in my teeth! Scarlett, still in the lead, began to climb a tree we were not allowed to be on. Mom says that tree leads to the forest of predators.
I slowed my pace and had gotten distracted by Scarlett slipping off the beach she had gotten to. One second I was running towards the tree after her, the next I was in a mossy hole!

I glance up at the sky, or where the sky should have been. The ground must have had a soft spot due to the moss, but how did it cover back up?
I looked around the dark space and decided to crawl up the small tunnel to my left. It leads to a deeper section of the abandoned den, but also in the direction the outside of my fence would be, and deep into the woods too. I know that I am in the woods due to the strange scents surrounding me. 
I claw at the wall but it's to high up for me to climb.
I begin to head back the way I came, when the tunnel collapsed...
Now how am I getting out of here?

I look around the small hole and grab ahold of a root that sticks out from the ground to haul myself up.
As I'm climbing, the root snaps, making me fall back down. I whimper and try at it again.
After my 14th attempt I finally give up.
How will I be able to get back to my Mother now?
I begin to whine loudly, hoping someone would hear me. I hope they can get me out of here.
What if they can't get me out?
What will I do then?
Will I ever see my family again?
I wonder if they're even looking for me...

Finally someone heard my cries from the small hole that I was stuck in and a women peered down into the hole. The lady gasps as a hand flies over her mouth. I'm not sure if I trust her just yet, but I feel like it's okay.

"Aww, it's okay little one. I'll get you out." She says as she leans down, stretching her long arms towards me and picks me up, Removing me gently out of the hole.

She heads back to, what I assume is her house,with me in her arms. I snuggle into the warmth that radiates off of the human.
I fall asleep peacefully in her arms.

I wake to see a little white house in front of us. It has a brown wooden roof, beams, stairs, and porch. The deck had a couple of chairs along with a glass table near the front door.

We head up the dark painted wooden porch and she unlocks the door. It opens up to a little kitchen with white tiled flooring, an oak table with four matching chairs in the center of the room, a clean black fridge that sat near a dryer and a washer machine. The room had a few windows and the kitchen had three doors and a hall. Down the hall I could see a sink and cabinets. There was a microwave that sat next to a toaster on the counter. Next to that, against the wall was a cutting board and knife holder. Then the hall ended with a cracked door, of which I noticed must have been the bathroom.

She grabs a blue fluffy blanket and lays it down on the couch near a cushion. The couch is pushed against the wall through one of the openings from the kitchen  we had to take a right turn from the door, and step over a baby gate.
She sets me down on the blanket and she goes into the kitchen again. She comes back a few minutes later with a can of tuna in one hand and a bowl of milk in the other. I purr happily as she sets them down on the floor for me to lap on.
Once she sets them in my reach, I scarf them down and meow happily. I rub against her leg and purr, content.
She picks me up with a smile on her face. We sit on the couch and she turns on the flat screen tv. I curl up on her lap and fall asleep as she strokes my fur softly.

*1 week later*

She's been caring for me for about a week. She left for work earlier but she hasn't come back home yet which is unlike her to not be home at this time of night. Then she didn't show up for two days in a row. I'm curled up in front of the door waiting for her when her nephew, Harold, opens the door whilst crying. I remember him visiting Tara a few days ago. He really loves her a lot.
He picks me up carefully and speaks softly as he brings me to his red car.
"I'm sorry but my aunt Tara, the woman who was looking after you," He paused and started to cry more, pools of tears in his eyes.
I wiped my white fur against his face to get rid of his tears. I don't like it when people are sad, but I try my best to cheer them up and put them in a good mood! However, I feel as though this isn't the exact time to try and cheer him up.
He opens the car door and slowly gets in. I sit in his lap and wait for him to finish his scentence.
He finally begins to speak.

"My aunt Tara got into a car crash." Harold begun.

Authors Note
Hi.
This is my very first time writing something on watt pad so I hope you like it.
I was beginning to read a story and found allot of typos and wished that I could rewrite it. But then I started to think more and began to write my own story. I don't think it's a fan fiction and stuff like that but it's something! Anyways, I'll be putting the number of words in each chapter. They will have the A/N words counted in them too.

From 284 words to 1,015 words
A/N
