It had been a month since she had seen her father chase the wolf away, and she was much bigger now, but her brothers were bigger "Whisper! Come practice fighting with us!" Ghost and Frost yowled too her. She padded over to her brothers, who were tackling each other, she jumped onto them, yowling. They slid out from under her and shook themselves off. "What move should we show her Frost?" Ghost mewed. "We should show her the dodge and swipe." Frost mewed. She rolled her eyes, "I know what the dodge and swipe is." She mewed." Let's just practice fighting already." She chuffed. "Ok." Frost mewed. She saw Ghost lunge at her, she dodged to the side and swiped his face, claws sheathed. She jumped forward almost as soon as she had swiped his face,and bowled him over. He rolled out from under and her and leaped at her, she tried to dodge but she was a little too late, she felt his body crash into her knocking her over, she kicked up with her hind legs and knocked him off. She stood up, panting. "Not bad,for a runt." Ghost said. She put her ears back," I'm not a runt, and just because I'm smaller doesn't mean I can't fight as well as you!"She chuffed angrily. She turned her head at the sound of a yowl." Time for dinner!" She heard her mother yowl. She ran as fast as she could to the den, beating her brothers easily. She padded into the den, unaware of another pair of eyes. She heard her brothers enter the den. "Ghost, Frost, Whisper, this is Jinx." Her mother meowed. She turned her head to see another snow leopard, as big as her. "Hello."Jinx meowed. "Hello, I'm Whisper." She mewed. "This is your adopted sister." Her mother meowed. "What happened to you're parents?" Ghost mewed. "They were t-taken away from m-me, h-hunters took them."Jinx stammered.
It had been a few days since she had met Jinx, the playful,caring, and sweet snow leopard, and she was already her best friend, they explored together, playfully tackled each other, and even practiced hunting. "So,what were your parents like?" Whisper asked. "Well, u-um they were nice, and, c-caring," Jinx mewed,"Oh, yeah and protective." Jinx finished.
"That sounds nice!" She chuffed cheerfully, "Did you have any siblings?" Whisper asked. "U-uh,yeah,I did." Jinx meowed. "What happened to them?" Whisper asked," Were they taken away by hunters too?" She meowed, "Yes, but I was hiding, so they didn't find me,but they found them." Jinx mewed sadly. Trying to change the subject, Whisper asked Jinx if she wanted to practice fighting moves. "Sure!" She had said, cheering up. Whisper padded over to a fairly flat spot and saw Jinx come over. "I'll start, I guess" Jinx chuffed. "Ok" Whisper chuffed back. Whisper watched Jinx lunge at her, she quickly dodged to the side but stumbled over a rock, she suddenly felt Jinx land on her back. Whisper rolled over and kicked Jinx off her,not trying to kick too hard. Jinx started to pant, and so did Whisper. "Not bad, Whisper" Jinx mewed between pants. "Yeah,you too." She mewed when she stopped panting. She shook the snow out of her fur, "Now I'll start" Whisper meowed. "Ok" Jinx mewed. She lunged at Jinx, surprised that Jinx went under her when she lunged. Whisper landed on nothing and felt Jinx jump onto her shoulders,she leaned back and squashed Jinx, she got up. "Good job!"
