Small stark paws walked over the floor and rounded ears twitched lightly, her parents were sound asleep as well as her siblings. The normally quiet child was making her way over to the kitchen being careful not to make the floor squeak in the slightest, her father had strictly told her no sweets before bed but even so, that hadn't stopped her. Taiga Kingmaker-Volkov was determined when her heart was set on something and she wanted those chocolate chip cookies that her siblings and papa had made. She stopped for a moment glancing around only to take slower steps into the kitchen with her mismatched gaze already looking around for the jar, her fur immediately fluffing up in delight when she spotted it. It was somewhere that she couldn't reach but Taiga knew that she could make it work, she wanted those cookies badly. Thus began her clumsy trek to retrieve those cookies, a shy smile on her face as she began to try hopping up onto the counter.
She managed to get a grip and immediately used her back legs to push herself forward, the small tigress let out a quiet squeal of joy but she immediately put a paw over her maw. She had to be quiet. Taiga crept forward with both of her ears pressed flat against her skull, damn, she had to make another jump to reach the jar. She paused for a moment making sure that she hadn't woken up anyone from her family, the small cub lowered herself into a crouch only to spring forward clawing at the wood until she propped herself forward. Her large paws grabbing onto the cookie jar and immediately took off the jar, she had done it. It wasn't long until the small cub had scarfed down most of the cookies, she glanced around wondering how she would get down from the cabinet and to bed. She shifted slightly not realizing the jar was close to the edge, her leg moving and pushing the jar. She reached forward but it was much too late. Taiga flinched as the cookie jar scattered into several pieces, she looked over the edge not being careful of how she stood. Down she went but managed to land on her paws, her fur standing and sticking in every direction with widened eyes.
She sighed quietly only to squeak in pain realizing that one of the glass shards had sunk into one of her pawpads, a frown on her maw as her eyes began to well up with tears. Her parents and siblings would be mad at her, Taiga swallowed quietly making her way out quickly from her home deciding that she would go to her aunt's house. Just for the rest of the night. A hiss of pain left her as she leapt over the porch and glanced around the town. Where... Where did her aunt live again? She bit her lip and could already hear the voices in her house so she bolted for it, she was a mere white blur that passed the houses only to stop at one. Oh, this one was very lovely. She was absolutely certain that Moth lived here, she thought about knocking but the lights were out.
She noticed one of the windows were opened, Taiga slunk forward only to leap forward into the home without much of a sound. She knocked over one of the potted plants and winced only to ease herself down onto the ground. Her body crept into the kitchen and frowned when she saw a few teacups, she stood on her back legs to get a closer look and used a large paw to bring them near her face for a better view of these small teacups. Unfortunately, the cub was clumsy and ended up dropping these said teacups listening to each one shatter as it hit the floor. She winced looking at the mess and the blood trail she was making. Suddenly, there was a voice that was demanding to know who was there. That wasn't Moth.
Taiga made a run for the door and opened it, she would run off again not wanting to be seen. All she could hear behind her was some odd sayings that flew over her head. She hadn't been looking where she was going only to run into a door, it was familiar. This was it, her aunt's home. Taiga thought thoroughly about knocking but what if that angry voice found her, the tiger cub glanced around for an opening and when she found it. The small Kingmaker child crept into it without a sound. She took a deep breath deciding to stay quiet for now even if her paw was bleeding a lot now. Her parents would be so mad at her.
