Taken pt.1

Bi-colored eyes scanned behind the dame as she wandered towards the cliffs by the cove. Keki wondered why no one came her, but maybe this could be her special place. She liked the thought of that, special place. Where the tide pools littered the ground with all sorts of life. It was high tide and she relished the squelch of the wet sand between her paw pads. The fur on her feet was wet but she could care less. Paw prints were left behind her in the damp sand. Yet the femme didn't think anyone would follow her. It was her children's both season and they were all yearlings now. It saddened her though, Pericles and Tiberious had gone off somewhere, she knew not where though. Had they left her like she thought her children would do? The irony of it was that the only child who remained close to the nest was Kairos. She hated herself for disliking the thought. He reminded her of his father. Keki loved him still...but she still feared him deep down.

Her predictions had came true though, her sons had seemed to abandon her. Now what did she have left? Family yes but herself and her sister now. Back to square one she supposed. But Keki wasn't getting any younger now even though she wasn't even close to old. And yet she was still as beautiful as ever. Walking through the tide pools she leaned down every now and then to look into them. Some contained mussels and clams while others contained other life forms. The female took a moment to crack a clam open and devour it's inside. Licking her maw as the salt water dripped from her chin she looked up at the cliffs. Why had no one attempted on climb these? Was it Ben possible? Why not give it a go. With her bi-colored eyes hiding a look of determination she scrambled on too of a rock nearby that was as big as her. Carefully balancing on it she lifted her forepaws to reach for the nearby cliffside. It seemed rather easy to maneuver on down here but up further the cliffs were higher as looked like they were harder to climb. This was fun though...in a heart racing way.

Yet with a shrug she kept on going and pathetically made her way to the next flat surface. Looking over the side she saw a rather deep tide pool. Looking back at her white and gray unusually soft fur she wondered if it was worth getting wet and jumping in. With a sigh and a smile the dame sat on her haunches and looked around the cove. She wondered what would happen in her life next. It seemed like after two of her children seemed to disappear the world had stopped. It was too bad really...it sort of broke her heart. All she had left was one son now; she guessed she should spend some more time with him as much as it pained her on the inside guiltily.
