Blossomfur's Life - Chapter 4

 Blossom hissed in contempt.   "I knew it. You want the easiest thing. You don't want to hunt for food or fight off critters. You want to eat the mush and you want the human house to protect you. Well I hope it does Berry." With that Blossom leapt from the fence and raced out of sight. Blossom never saw Berry or Cherry again. Blossom traveled far away until she reached the place where she was born. She found the place where she and her sisters split up. She had never heard from Mouse or Cloud until that day. She saw the white and brown cats before she smelled them. While they heard her before they saw her. "Mouse, Cloud?" Blossom called into the gloom. "Blossom?" they asked. She nodded. "When did we see you last?" they asked. "A few moons." replied Blossom. "Where do you live now?" "In an abandoned barn. Holly found it." "Holly?" questioned Blossom. "Oh Holly is an amazing cat. She can fight like a lion, can hunt twice as well as we can put together and is extremely intelligent." "Oh." said Blossom. It seems as if they replaced me, Blossom thought.  Blossom turned away. "Do you want to meet Holly?" asked Cloud. Blossom nodded. "This way," called Mouse. Blossom padded after them to a abandoned barn. "It looks like Holly might be out hunting." said Mouse. "Do you want to go hunting too?" asked Cloud. Blossom nodded and padded out into the clearing away from the barn. She spotted a sparrow hopping around the edge of a tree. She dropped into a hunting crouch. She pounced and chased the sparrow up the tree. She raced through the trees after the sparrow and killed it with a swift bite. She tipped over and the sparrow  fell from her grip onto the ground below. A black cat came over and picked up the sparrow. "Leave that alone. I caught it. It is mine." "Well actually this is my territory, and all the prey in it belong to me and my friends." Blossom hissed. The cat spun around and met Blossom's gaze. Blossom hiss was cut off in shock. She was staring at Darkfinch.
