Whitewing felt her skin heat up below her fur at the compliment, and was preparing to reply with one of her own, when the golden-eyed cat's next question caught her off guard. She saw the direction of the she-cat's gaze, and knew immediately what she was referring to. She could smell smoke. The kits were calling out, on the other side of the trees. She was carrying Bird, and then the dark shape descended upon her, leaves and branches ablaze, bark scorched. It tilted, and then
"Um." She swallowed. Her mouth seemed very dry, and there was a lump in the throat. Her heart seemed to want to pound out of her chest, and she had to force her breaths to slow, and deepen. "A tree fell on me. Just my luck, huh? Everything's fine, and then out of nowhere, bam, a tree. It kind of glanced off my side, so, there's that."
It was only then that she realized that she should flatten her fur, and she pulled her bristling tail in, forcing it to become smooth again. "Not a great memory, I guess." she glanced back at Silentpounce's ear. "So, how did the fight go down?" the other cat had seemed ready enough to converse on that subject.
popcorn ceilings and polished concrete floors
curled up in a grip when we were ours
fingers in a fist like you might run
i settle for a ghost i never knew
superparadise i held onto
but i settle for a ghost
other side of paradise | glass animals
i'm strange! and off-putting! i should not feel confident in the face of any man!
