β Day 16 β
Clan: Lightclan
Prompt:
This was Starwalker's second winter, her second snow. Last year, she had been living with housefolk in a cozy, warm house. This year she was outside, exposed to all the elements, doing her best to care for a quickly growing clan. As she sit at the entrance to her den, watching the first snow of the year, she thought back to last year.
She was a kitten, six months old, looking out the window out to the lawn in front. She hadn't been outside since arriving here three months previous, but had noticed the house get colder and colder, before the strange metal boxes were all blowing hot air and the house was warm once again. The window sill was colder than any other part of the house, but Starlight didn't mind. It was worth getting her paws a little chilly in order to look out the window at the stars, the plants, the... what was that? Some kind white material was floating down from the sky. It looked soft, and it was the prettiest thing she had seen in her life so far. After a while watching the white stuff fall, it eventually stopped. Yawning, Starlight jumped down from the windowsill and padded softly to the fireplace. Lying down in front of it, she began to doze off, warm and cozy.
