Get out!

Her brother tried to warn her, to no avail. She and the cat were too quick, and the cat was quicker than her. She smiled as she saw him try to smack the cat back. She narrowed her eyes into the darkness.

The light of the day through the shriveling leaves above blocked her view from getting a good look at the cat inside. She lifted her nose to see if she could catch its scent but only sweet honeysuckle and a thick air of berries entered her nose from the Wildberry grove around them.

Ooooh! They could share it! Okay! Gotta get this creature out first! She gave the scratch a quick lick, determined to get back into the fray. She snarled at the creature and lifted her tail.

"You cat!" She called at it, "Getoutta here. This our cave now!" She snarled, her fur bristling as she started to push into the small space. She had claws too! The cat let out a loud yowling growl. She ducked as it swiped again! Then launched herself forward and swiped back at its chest. But it was too fast for her and bouncy. It started spitting and lashing at her and Selene jumped back out of the den and hid behind her brother, panting hard a snarl still on her lip and her fur all out of place and rumpled. But at least not worse for wear. Maybe she should have started with a plan. She didn't wanna plan tho! She wanted it out just as much as he did! Maybe Mumma would let them sleep out here on their own tonight for the first time!

The cool early winter, late autumn breeze held a strange chill in the air. As if promising something sinister for the season. Could that be why the Cat was seeking a den now?
