Lavender sat shivering in the cold, her fluffy tail wrapped around her for warmth in the small den she was in. The wind howled and the snow whipped at the den walls, sending her into a corner to curl up. She bumped against her kitten, Ginger, and the black shecat drew her close. She and her daughter shivered, trying to make themselves warm. She had lost her mate a moon ago, and his scent was still wafting through the den, it brought a shiver to her and she cried silently. She licked Gingers head,purring for her kit to comfort her. Lavender was on the skinny side, but it wasn't a struggle to make milk for her kit. She could still hunt. she closed her eyes and rested her head on her paws.

Lavender opened her eyes to the sound of someone entering her den, she pushed Thistlekit behind her much to her protest. "Who are you and what are you doing in my den?"she growled.

Lavender softened her narrowed eyes. “Well, I suppose you could stay, it is awfully cold outside. And yes I do, just the one.” She licked her chest fur. “What brings you over here? I don’t see many cats around here ever since my mate died.” She looked at the ground. “Sorry if that was too much information.” She nodded her head to half a squirrel nearby her. “Here, you must be hungry. I have another vole and other prey buried nearby, I’ll probably dig it up soon.”

"yeah a couple of moons ago, Thistlekit here is only 3 moons old. Shes growing so fast." She purred. "Has your journey been hard? Perhaps you could stay awhile? Rest up?" She licked her chest again, grooming the orange fluff down. she got up, bringing thistlekit with her, and padded further into her little nest, needing it up to make it more comfortable. She placed thistlekit by her side, and meowed again. " Whats your name?"

"It's lavender. " She looked at him with concern in her eyes, and got up to dig up her vole. She shook it to rid it of all the dirt, and started to eat it. Pausing between bites to ask him more questions. " are you a loner or a rouge? How long have you been alone?"

(Hey Robin!) "yeah I've heard of them too. And I see. I get so lonely. I've been trying to get out more to find friends but it's been hard." She notice a bit of snow had fallen through the entrance of the Rocky den, and she padded out to lick up a couple of pieces. It was cold on her tongue and teeth. A quick cold breeze blasted her nose, and she smelt the scent of another shecat. Hmm she thought. Should we go out and meet her? Perhaps I should ask Blaze if he wants to go. She shook her head to herself and padded back over to her moss and feather nest. "I uhh, smelt the scent of another shecat out there. But I think I"m going to go out and hunt.Just to stock up my prey pile. and dont worry about Thistlekit, she'll be fine." She grabbed a patch of moss she kept by her nest and put it over thistlekit to keep her warm while she was gone. She padded out of the den bracing herself for the cold wind.

Lavender nodded and headed her way out, slightly uneasy. She pounced through the snow, bounding and leaping. She stirred up a couple mice, and she pounced. One by one the mice were dead. She picked them up by their tails and went her way back to her den. When she got there she placed them by her kill pile, muffling a "hey Blaze I'm back " through the tails.

Lavender dipped her head in acknowledgment, and lay down to eat one of the mice. she stopped eating when thistlekit nudged her, and she picked her kit up and placed her in front of her belly to nurse. "are you sure you're not hungry?"

Lavender sighed, but gave up. She liked having someone to talk to, it was a nice change of pace from the howling of the wind and constant silence . She lay her head on her paws, wondering how many more cats where in the area. Having just meet one, surely she’d meet another? She licked Thistlekits head, purring. She Looked at blaze, and started to talk again. “Are you feeling warmer now? It sure is cold out there, and this wind isn’t helping. I can’t stand the weather we have been having. I fear it might blizzard. “ The wind was steady on its howling, and she didn’t know if there would be an end to it . She flicked a bit of snow out of her ears, still drying off from her earlier hunt.

“Yeah it’d be a shame if it stormed. I think once it begins to be nice out, I may take my Thistle out to see the world. She’s so young now but I know she’s growing fast. I was hoping to have some siblings for her but they were still birth . What I wouldn’t give to have more kits. “ she paused . “What about you, do you have a mate or kits? I hope I’m not being to forward.”

Noticing his falling face, Lavender was quick to apologize. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m just nosy.” She looked down at the ground, her heart falling. “I really am sorry.” She frowned. “How can I make it up to you?”

“Well I suppose there’s nothing else to talk about. I may nap. Goodnight blaze. “She mewed. The sun was falling and the wind had died down , which calmed Lavender. She lay her head on her paws once more and closed her eyes. Trying to go into dream world

Lavender found herself in the forest, thistlekit nowhere to be found. She didn’t know she was dreaming, so she panicked calling out for her kit. She ran forward tripping over a root and hitting her head on a tree. She lay there dazed as if it had really happened . She heard a faint mewing and she unsteadily got up to find out where it came from. It sounded familiar and she kept waking forward until she happened upon two black kits and one orange one. It was thistle and her dead brothers. Acorn and Shadow. She wailed unhappily as the brothers disappeared and only thistle remained. She thrashed in her sleep upsetting thistlekit to mew.
