A soft warm tongue came down and cleaned me, my mothers purr was strong in her throat.She kept cleaning me and cleaning, i stumbled trying to catch the scent of my mom's milk,i gulped and gulped as i dozed off to a sleep.My father came and joined us with sleep.The chirping of birds had awoken me and the warmth of my mother was gone, scents were stale and left in the wind to carry away. I squealed hoping my mother would hear, but no answer.My pelt felt cold as the wind pushed upon it, i'm only a day old! Then a scent filled my nose as warm milk, and paw steps came closer to me and closer, "im here" she whispered as she pulled me close to her warmth and milk.no scent of my father, still stale. "wheres dad" i mewed softly and went back to drink. "hunting for me.." her mew carried around the room.
8 moons went by, everyday the same,drink,eat,sleep,repeat.Father was rarely around and mother was growing old,her fur a little clumped, and rough, but still warm of her love.As dark clouds surrounded the little den, rain began to pour,leaving mud and floods."mum,when is it gonna end" my mew muffled by fur. "soon" her mew barely a whisper.My paws slid under the warmth as i dozed to the sound of distant thunders and flashes of light. The storm got stronger and stronger, as the rain came down more and more, eventually water reached into are den. My paws got wet as i shivered of chill.I mewed as it soaked my tail.Her eyes widened as she noticed the water, she grabbed me by the scruff and pulled me closer, "its OK, i will stay wake to watch, you sleep my dear" she mewed shaking. Next thing i knew i was getting carried up into a tree. Catching a glimpse of rushing water below taking our home down below.I slept against the warmth and fast beats of my mothers heart.
A nudge in my side from my fear struck mother awoke me, the sun was just rising as the storm clouds were just distant puffs of grey above the horizon."come on hun,it's all over" her strong scent of fear hit my nose as she nudged me once more.The sound of flowing water below brought me back to reality, the remains of our home drenched in mud and scattered. "Mummy,where are we gonna live?" I mewed dangling from her jaws. She put me down on the nearest branch and stared at me with eyes of water and an overwhelming scent of fear, "I don't know.." she looked down while streams of water poured from her eyes. "I don't know" she whispered. I nuzzled her side "it's OK mamma, we will find somewhere" I managed to just say.She picked me back up by the scruff and leaped out of the tree into the mud below.Mud hit my face as it splattered from the impact, she carried me past are home's remains and past some twoleg dens, until we stopped at one, it was red bricked and surrounded by bushes.Mother put me down, her ginger fur covered in mud, her eyes pools of water.
"You're going to walk up onto that ledge and meow."she pointed with her tail to a ledge next to the door.I started to walk and looked back,"mom aren't u coming?".She looked down and shook her head."why not!?" I squealed."because I can't, your a kitten, I'm old, they won't take me, only you,so go sweety, if your slowed outside I will come and visit if I can..So goodbye"she walked away without looking back, leaving me there alone.
I had no other thing to do but what my mom said told me to do,I walked up to the door and meowed the loudest,and longest new I could.The door opened,rays of light pooled out making me squint,out of the light furless paws grabbed me and brought me through the light.The door was closed as they carried me deeper inside their den.They brought me to room with sweet scents that smelled of food and put me down on the floor.They left and. went to get something out of a silver box that produced light and cold wind, he poured some stuff into a circular thing and put it at my paws.They looked at and walked away.He was Tom with a brown tuft of fur on his head of 2 blue eyes.The circle thing that lay infront of me was red and filled with something sweet smelling.I walked nearer to it and lapped up some,the flavour brought me back to when I was a younger kit still with my eyes closed,it was MILK.By the time I noticed it was licked clean and my belly full.He came back and picked me up to carry me,bringing me to this soft pillow nest,a deep purr rumbling in my throat as a was gulped in by the bedding and swallowed into a deep sleep.
