[❖] — I'LL TRY HARDER !
Her family had always traveled around a lot. The small kit couldn't remember a time where they stayed at one place for more than a couple of sunrises. Mother was dead-set on traveling around and all this time the little kit didn't know why; though she kept a tight-lip and followed closely behind her Mother and her three littermates to wherever their next shelter may be. The delicate feline just wished, wished for once her Mother would sit all of them down and tell them why they moved around so much. On some days, her legs were aching from the constant traveling, but Mother would always push them further and further. Were they all running away from something unseen to her eyes?
Even the sea couldn't stop them as they continued on in their never-ending journey. The days flew past in her eyes as they traveled along a thin sliver of land that would connect to a large jungle island. She hadn't seen a jungle quite like this before and the waters were a shiny blue! "Mother? Can we stay on the island for a bit?" she asked quietly, eyes eager as the older feline paused momentarily.
"Of course," meowed Mother before continuing on. The kit would say her Mother was one of few words; it probably rubbed off on herself as she tended to prefer a comfortable silence. The same routine would soon fall upon them: find a place to sleep, catch a meal, eat, and finally begin to settle down for the night. She had gotten to explore the cool new island for a bit under the supervision of her Mother and littermates, but there was always so much more to see!
Morning came and the small silvered kit opened her eyes. Her senses were fuzzy with sleep, but they picked up on a lack of warmth surrounding her frame. "Mother?" she asked faintly, eyes bewildered as she looked around with no one with her. Scents were inexplicably faint that made her quite dumbfounded; where was her family? They were just here with her, no?
The kit left the little temporary burrow that served as their shelter for the night and wandered frantically in search for her family. "Mother?! Mother?!" she wailed as it felt like the exciting jungle that she once was eager to explore was now closing in on her. She ran as fast as she could, desperate to find some kind of sign from them. She ignored all other signs, including the scents of an unfamiliar source; scents from the current group residing in the island as the little kit crossed into claimed territory.
