Swish Swish

It had been days since she had seen her family. The poor girl had remembered being scared to death, hearing the growls of the slobbering beasts that descended on them. They had scattered, the majority of them fleeing, though two of her siblings had made an attempt to fight back. Sucre did not know what had become of them. Her ears were lowered as she pulled herself up the last bit of rough, foliage rich terrain onto a rocky path.

They hadn't been able to follow her where the plants had clumped so close together and the tiny orange kit had used that and her small size to get away. But now she was on her own… Mama said they might be one day, but she didn't think it would be so soon! She glanced around the unfamiliar area, eyes widening as she saw something huge farther down the path. That wasn't a deer! What was it though? A mix of caution and curiosity urged her to investigate.

On sore paws she made her decent quickly as she could muster, body lowered to the ground and slinking above the rocks as she got closer. The closer she got, the bigger the not-deer thing got too. Would it leave her alone like the deer did? It didn't have grass to munch though… What if it chased her? Worry got the better of her and the kitten flattened herself, continuing to watch the beast with widened green eyes. Behind her her tail flicked back and forth, trying to gauge if the not-deer was safe or not.
