Frost POV:

Snow fell, covering the streets in a blanket of snow.
The first sign of the winter. Though this snow will melt away, it was nice to hear the satisfying crunch under paw.
The air was clean and fresh. No longer tainted with the disgusting stench of the city. It was as if for while, this place was transformed into a magical wonderland.

Bringing back memories as a kit.
I never won any games of hiding seek since I stood out with my white fur. But when winter came around, I won all of them.
Disappearing into the snow.

The slam of a nearby door caught my attention.
On the snow-covered porch was a familiar white she-cat. Her glossy fur was up in spikes. Delicate claws slid out as she hissed at the now closed door.

"Idiots!" She cursed. "My ears perked, recognizing her voice. " They are so rude!"

"Well, well what do we have here? A snowflake in a pile of snow." I teased.

Snowflake's crossed face brightened. "Frost! Didn't expect to see you here!"
"Well I live in the city don't I?" Snowflake chuckled. "Ah yes, you do. How have you been? It has been days since I saw you last." She replied.
Does she care about me?

Touched, I smiled. "I'll tell you, but first let's go off this porch you were so cruelly tossed." Snowflake nodded. "Good idea."

I led her up to the roof where we could see the extent of the frozen kingdom.

"So, what does a cat from the street do with his time?" She asked me.
"Training, eating, defending territory, basically," I answered. "Keeping other rouges in line and settling old debts."
She frowned."Sounds exhausting, you never have fun? Travelling, exploring places?"

"Sure, it is work, but the ability to show everyone how strong you are and seeing others fear you is refreshing. But it is when others challenge you, is when the fun happens. When you fight and defeat them, you become the number one threat and the king of the alleys with no one to stop you." I explained. I looked at her, expecting her to flinch at my mentality only to find sympathy in depths of her blue eyes.
" Sounds like a lonely thing to be king of the alleys. If everyone fears you, then who would love you?"

Snowflake POV

I walked home that day lost in my thoughts. 

He only thinks about fighting, never thinking about the fun he could have. 

A bark grabs my attention and I turn to face a young Labrador retriever.
It bared its teeth and foam dripped from its jaws.
I made a run for it.
My paws pounded against the sidewalk as the dog nipped at my heels.
"Get away from me you stupid furball!"
I pressed harder, faster than I had ever run before. Until I realized the dog was gone.
I looked around and spotted down the sidewalk a grey tabby was attacking it.  Finally, the dog gave up and sprinted away. The cat looked at me with concern. "Are you alright?"
I nodded. Still out of breath.
"You know the streets are not fit for pets." He warned me. "Stay home where it is safer."
"Thank you, sir."
"Its Jay, and you're welcome."
"Snowflake."
"Well then, Snowflake. Go home, it is dangerous after dark."
I thanked Jay and ran over to the side of the apartment, clambered up the fire escape stairwell and slipped through the open balcony doors.
I had enough excitement for one day.

I curled up in my bed after eating dinner and having milk to squash my thirst.
Too much excitement indeed.

A/N
AmeliaArrow here.
Getting somewhere at least.
I am so eager right now to stop doing homework and write but I can't.

Grade 12 demands.

Anyway, what do you guys think about this?
Comment down below!
Don't worry I'll go back to Nutmeg's POV soon.

Also, wanna clear something up.
When I said, "I might go up to 40!"
I meant that in total my chapters might reach that number. It would be crazy if I added 40 more chapters.
So far if my planning is right I have 13 more chapters to go. :(
*sigh*

My posting schedule is unsteady, I'm just posting whenever and as fast I can.

So see you around.  💕
