Blossomfur's Life - Chapter 5

Blossom was about to lunge for Darkfinch's throat when Mouse and Cloud raced into the clearing. "Blossom stop!" called Mouse. "That isn't Darkfinch!" added Cloud. "Who are you then?" asked Blossom. "This is Holly," said Mouse. "Holly this is our sister Blossom. She is ok." Holly nodded. "It is nice to meet you Blossom," said Holly formally.  "My name is Holly" Blossom nodded. Mouse interjected, "You know what we have done since we have split up how about you? What have you been doing?" "Well after we left I went and lived underground. I met a brown tom named Berry and we lived together for a while. Then I ventured above ground and saw a cat his said his name was Ash. I went back to the tunnels and Ash had come with his leader. Darkfinch," Blossom spat the name. "Darkfinch?" interrupted Holly. Blossom nodded. "Why?" Holly didn't answer. "We fled to the moor. We escaped Darkfinch, in the morning though Berry was gone. I tracked his scent to a human home. He was talking to a cat named Cherry. He wandered into the house and then I started speaking to…" Blossom broke off hearing a sound and watching the ferns quiver. "Can we go back to the barn?" asked Blossom. Mouse nodded. "Now Berry had decided that he didn't want to have to hunt for food. He went and live with Cherry. I then came to see you. Now what about you Holly? What did you do before you started living with Mouse and Cloud. But before you start I have a question for you…" Holly interrupted, "Before you ask Darkfinch is my older brother. I was his deputy then I realized what I was doing wrong and I left the clan. Changing my name back to Holly, and abandoning my warrior ways. Living as a loner was much easier. I didn't have to worry about lots of other clan mates. Now I live with Mouse and Cloud." "So you lived with Darkfinch? How much do you know about Darkfinch." "I know…." "She knows quite a lot about me but she won't say a thing will you?" Blossom turned around and stared at the cat standing in front of her. It was actually Darkfinch. Holly hissed and lunged at her brother. 

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.
