Whisper sat down, her belly rumbling with hunger. It had been a day since she had hunted and she got up and padded over to the shrew she had caught the day before and finished it in a few gulps. She felt something grasp onto her tail, she turned around, her ears flicking in annoyance. "Please don't pounce on my tail again." She chuffed at her brothers.
She padded outside and saw a leaf falling from a tree, she jumped up, her claws outstretched, ready to catch the leaf, she grasped the leaf and fell back down to her paws. She sat down and examined the leaf, it was mostly green but had some brown and red around the edges. She suddenly felt something grasp onto her tail again. She flicked her ear in annoyance, and spun around. "I told you not to pounce on my tail!" She yowled at her brothers. She saw a look of mischief flash in her brothers eyes, "Ok, ok we won't pounce on you're tail again." He mewed, and padded off. She sighed and decided what she was going to do. Her brothers didn't like it when they're pelts got dirty, and she found some mud and she put her paws into it, the brown sludge felt weird between her paws but she forced herself to keep her paws in, when she decided to stop she leaped over to hide behind a rock, leaving no muddy paw prints, besides the ones by the mud. She yowled for her brothers to come over to her. She saw her brothers walk close to the mud, they saw the paw prints and they yowled for her. "Whisper! Whisper where are you?" Ghost yowled. She leaped at them, her muddy paws outstretched in front of her, she knocked her brothers down and she put her muddy paws all over them, covering them with mud. "Ewwww!" They yowled, and ran to the den. That's what you get for pouncing on my tail. She thought.
She padded over to a nearby puddle and washed her paws, when they were clean she decided to explore, further then she had before, but not too far. She padded behind a hole, a rabbit stuck it's head out of it, she prepared to catch it. She pounced and landed squarely on it's shoulders, she nipped it's neck and it fell limp. She picked it up in her jaws and padded to the den. She was near the den entrance when she heard some growling behind her. She spun around and saw a wolf, it was bigger than her, but smaller than her mother and father. She dropped her catch and yowled for her parents. "MOMMA, PAPA!!" She yowled loudly. She grabbed her catch slowly walked backwards. She heard the crunch of huge paws on the snow and turned her head. She saw her father leap and land squarely on wolf's shoulders it yelped in pain and shock. Her father pinned it down, growling so loudly she thought the floor would shake. The wolf tried to get up, but it was no match for her father. Her father let it go and it ran as fast as it could tail between it's legs, it looked back and saw the her father's gaze. It turned it's head back and started to run again. She followed her father back to the den and dropped her catch and shared with her mother and father. "Thank you for saving me." She mewed. "Thank you for calling us, what if the wolf found your brothers?" He meowed at her simply.
