(OOC-For the record, Katrina is sitting in a tree watching them now =) She's trying to figure out if it's safe to come down yet XD)
Mocha shook her head. "It's all right, I'm fine. It was just the pad, really." As she spoke she put that same pad on the ground. It twinged, but it would hold. "By the way-" Mocha looked back up at Snowkit. "You'll notice she just dodged instead of kickin out at you? Katrina wouldn't hurt anyone if her life depended on it." A smile twitched about her lips as she meowed for Katrina to come down. The girl did, hesitantly setting a foot on the ground before coming out. Taking a step at a time, her eyes never leaving Snowkit, she approached Mocha. "Listen, Mocha, Sandy's gonna be back in about an hour. I'm headed back inside to read, but I'll come and bring you in before she gets here, okay?" With that Katrina headed back in the general direction of their house. Mocha turned to Snowkit and sighed. "Great. Sandy back in an hour."

(OOC-Why is it that so many of my posts start with charries nodding?)
Mocha nodded, but said nothing-her mind was obviously elsewhere. A variety of expressions crossed her face-Her hate of Sandy, love of Katrina, longing for freemdom, and, above all, the confusion that had ruled her thoughts the past few weeks. Finally something-not hardened, persay, but solidified-on her face and she turned to Snowkit. "I'll be right back." Mocha was almost holding her breath as she raced in the direction Katrina had gone. If she was lucky... yes, there was the girl, not yet in the house. A quick meow pulled her up short, and she turned to see Mocha. "What is it?" Quickly Mocha led Katrina back to the grove. She first wound herself around the girl's legs, then walked off a bit, away from their home. It took a few minutes for Katrina to understand, but when she did she actually smiled. Reaching down to stroke Mocha's head one last time, she whispered, "Don't worry about Sandy, I'll sort something out. I'm proud of you Mocha. Good luck out there-just remember, you'll always have a home with me if you need it." Then she straightened up and turned to Snowkit. "I'm sorry we didn't meet on good terms. I hope we're leaving on them. Take care of her." She nodded to both the cats. "Take care of each other." She turned back to Mocha. "This is where I'll think of you. You know where I'll be." Raising a hand in farewell, she turned to head home again. After the girl faded into the distance, Mocha turned to Snowkit. Her eyes were sad but determined, and her spirit strong as ever. "What now, I suppose?"

snowkit watched. not quite understanding what had happened. then a wave of understanding flooded over her." well, we need to teach you how to defend yourself. your okay at hunting so that can wait. " snowkit blinked" i think you made a good choice and if not you will always have her. that twoleg... i mean human isn't so bad. i really wish i hadn't attacked her. . but i can tell you this i think your ment for the wild" snowkit siad trying to help the confused cat relize how much she was doing the right thing. ' lets find some shhelter not to far away so if you need or want to you can go home. but it also needs to be far enoth that this sandy won't find you" wth that snowkit padded towards some trees in the distance.

Mocha nodded. "I think I did-not only for me, but for Katrina. Without me to worry about, she's free to make her own desicions." She flicked her ears as one last annoyance came to mind. "Wait- one last thing before we go." Carefully Mocha twisted her collar around until she could hook the latch onto a branch and undo it-goodness knew she knew enough about collar clasps from watching hu-twoleg commercials. She left the semi-circle with the tags still attached hanging on a low branch where Katrina was sure to find them, though she had to dull the tags with dirt first-those pesky ravens would take anything in an instant if they saw it was shiny. "That way she'll always have something of mine," the brown she-cat murmered before padding after Snowkit. "Okay, I'm ready." And with that, the two set out. As they walked, Mocha held her nose up, trying to catch a useful scent. Eventually she stopped Snowkit and nodded a ways off. "There's an old fox den off a few yards that way. The scent is stale, though, and barely there. And..." Was she imagining it? No,there it was again. The wind carries cat-scent. Lots of it... It all smells kind of the same, but... It's like mother and her kits. Each has an idividual scent, but they share a family scent. Any ideas what that's all about?" Mocha looked at her companion expectantly, hoping the white she-cat would have a reply.

snowkit stoped as snowkit talked carefully sniffing to see exactly how many. " it's a pack" said snowkit. thinking about her beloved pack."mocha, this may be hard but you should roll in the dirt. ohh, theres fox dung. roll in that instead to take out the scent of humans on your fur." lopardstrom hesitated" including katrina" leopardstrom then rolled in the fox dung and waited for mocha to do the same. while waiting leopardstrom carefully snuck a littl closer but couldn't see. " mocha would you like to join a pack? its a group of cats that live and help each other."

Wrinkling her nose at the pungent odor of the fox dung, Mocha nonetheless followed Snowkit's lead and rolled in the stuff. It was disgusting, but she had to admit it made a good disguise. No cat would scent the twoleg on her now! Mocha cocked her head curiously at Snowkit's words. "A pack? Kind of like a pack of dogs? I didn't know that some cats live in packs, too. She let the idea roll around in her mind for a moment before going on. "I don't know. It would be nice to be around other cats, but... I just don't know." She looked back at Snowkit. "Are you part of a pack? [/size]

Mocha noted Snowkit's sorrow immediately, and about a second later she was hit with a wave of sorrow herself-it was as though the white she-cat was radiating sadness. At a loss for words, Mocha stilled, unable to think of anything to say or do. Finally she stood and crossed over to where Snowkit sat. She touched her nose to her shoulder, murmuring, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring bad memories back. I'm so sorry." She sat back then, waiting for Snowkit to either come out of her sorrow or tell her what happened-she expected the former, though.

"its not your fault you didn't know" wispered snowkit her eyes flashing with pain as she looked opun memories" when i was born i was born to a pack. i had 3 siblings. the werid thing was the last part of our names, kit. i never really understood. ohh, how i wish i had asked. now its a forever mystery." snowkit paused "there names were.. were. ohh, i forgot 1 of their names. the 2 i can rember are leopardkit and applekit. but they never got the chance to grow old. before we ever was apprenticed badgers came. they destroyed every one and eventully got to the nursery." snowkit shuddered" mom pushed us behind and attempted to save us. but she was to weak and it was such a small space.i'm not sure how i lived i think i passed out and it thought i was dead."
snowkits eyes flashed with pain rembering her famnily and their destrution. but why? why had the badgers attacked? was it just to bring her eternal sadness?snowkit finally gave into a shuddering weep that seemed impossble to break and certanly wasn't controlled.

(OOC-lol XD)
Mocha's eyes grew dim as the story progressed. She only cut in once, about the 'kit" names. "My father's family's naming system-maybe it has something to do with packs, and he was in one too?" The explanation didn't even entirely make sense to her, but it was the best she could do. For the rest of the time Snowkit spoke Mocha was silent, horrified at the massacre and sad beyond meassure for her friend. There was, she knew, nothing she could say. Inseted she sat beside Snowkit and began humming, a soothing melody she had learned from Katrina. Slowly the song worked its magic, and Snowkit's sobs began to let up. Mocha simply stayed where she was, unsure of what to say or do.
(OOC-Poor Snowkit...)

(OOC-XD Sorry I took so long. Packing... ) Mocha nodded, unable to think of anything she could say in responce to Snowkit's words. Both of them lay there in silence for a while, until Mocha shivered. She looked up, wondering why how on earth it had gotten so cold, and received a shock at theevening light. She quickly stood, shook her fur out, and nudged Snowkit. "C'mon-it's nearly nightfall. We should get going." She waited for Snowkit to stand, then began walking in the direction of that fox nest she had scented earlier.

Mocha stopped when the rached the old den. It was large, with more than ample room for both of them to bed down. She ran over to a nearby tree and began stripping moss from the side, carrying it back to the hole in earth and shaping it to form a makeshift bed for the night. After a few minutes she couldn't stand the silence any more, and randomly settled on a question for Snowkit. "So... Snowkit... Where do you live now, if you're not in a pack and you don't live with housefo-twolegs?"

(OOC-sorry I took forever... again. Must try to be better about that in the future...) "Yeah, I suppose I know what you mean." Both cats sat in silence then, with Mocha lost in her thoughts-and probably Snowkit too. Despite her fatigue and deep thinking, Mocha's head snapped up the moment Snowkit began to speak again. Taking a deep breath, she quickly realized what had made her friend bound off like that. Cat-scent. It was unmistakable, but... something was wrong with it, too. Mocha couldn't quite put her paw on it, but it was there, pungent and repelling. Quickly she took to her feet, abandoning the just-made den, and raced after Snowkit as fast as her paws could carry her. (OOC-Mocha's following you to "Captives." This post done?)
