Nika giggled and ran to the front "C'mon Riverrush!" SHe called.
Claw walked near Spiderleg and smiled "So...Um...where exactly are we going again?" He asked, ears red hot.

Riverrush laughed and ran to her side.
Spiderleg smiled at Claw, "Not to sure...forward though...i know theres a forest a bit away from here that we may be able to live in for a while. But thats all i got for now..."

Claw nodded and walked a little bit quicker."I can't wait until we get there." He said with a glint in his eye.

Spiderleg glanced and saw that all the other cats were a head of her and Claw, she purred with a laugh and suddenly pounced on Claw, poking his nose with her paw she smiled and then quickly jumped away, her tail flowing after her.

Riverrush couldnt help but look at Nika, she was....he tried to find the right word....just...beautiful.

Moonclaw padded over to Echo. "So..you hugry or anything?"

Echo shook her head in reply, nervous of being around the new cat.
Nika caught him staring at her and smiled sweetly.She reached over and nuzzled his neck.C'mon, lets get our ace faster." She said like nothing had just happened.

Riverrush had blushed a deep red as Nika brushed against him and he stumbled over his paws as she pulled away.
Moonclaw nodded. she didnt know what else to say to to Echo.
Spiderleg glanced back at Claw, smiled and ran to catch up with the rest of the cats.

[Skip to where they rest that night!]

Nika looked around at the old farm, horses and sheep and two-leg monsters where everywhere but they didn't seem to be any danger to them so she sniffed around and soon found a large and emty badger's hole.She sniffed around and only rabbit and rodent scent lingered there."Here." She simply said as she trotted in and laid down in a tight ball.Echo instantly rushed to her side and Claw did to, the three cats curled up side by side looked like kin together."Spiderleg!Over here." Claw called sheepsihly, face red hot.Nika smiled "You too Riverrush!" Her tail twitched happily at the thought of him sleeping near her.Echo smiled brightly "C'mon Moonclaw, you can join to!" Echo liked the idea how the cats all looked like kin, like family.

The three cats smiled and padded over to their new family. Spiderleg yawned and curled up against Claws side, her long tail wrapping around her paws as she rested her muzzle against his shoulder and relaxed, she soon drifted into a deep sleep, her legs aching from the walk. Riverrush layed down next to Nika, his fur brushhing against hers made his nose get hot. Moonclaw smiled, and curled up next to Echo, already she was thinking of her like she was a sister. "Goodnight Echo." She muttered as she rested her head on her paws and went to sleep.

Nika curled up tighter against Riverrush so her head was on his back, she smiled as she drifted off to sleep.
Echo made sure she was very close to Nika and Moonclaw, she liked the two she-cat alot, she looked at them like family.She pictured the family by names, Nika was her mother, Riverrush was her father, Claw was her big brother, Spiderleg was her sister and so was Moonclaw and she liked it that way, one big happy family.
Claw blushed as he felt Spiderleg's head on his shoulder but fell asleep do to exhaustion.

Riverrush pressed his nose to NIka's ear and then fell asleep to the sound of her breathing.

[Next morning]
Nika stretched her long legs and trotted out into opening, the fresh morning dew smell drifted into her nose and she tried her best to keep it there.The cold dew attachted itself to her fur, making her spine shiver from the cold, no breeze or ruffling of the leaves could've been found in the morning but she ran into the forest, paws making no sound.Her pink nose twitched as the green summer leaves covered her veiw from the sky, the dew ceasing from the earth."Here stupid little micies.." She whispered as a rustle appeared from behind the bush near her.Her back legs scrunched up as she twitched her nose and caught the scent and pinpointed where it was, scrunching down farther she leaped up and landed on two mice, two others scrambling away to saftey."Cowards!" She yelled suddenly as her past washed over her for a second, the memory of her family running way and leaving her behind to fend for herself at such a young age.She remembered what she said when she fell asleep that night "I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight, but all of that never exsisted in my world and never will." Before she closed her eyes, hoping it would be the last time.She took her kill and brought it back to the tree 'Shut your mouth, don't tell.' She told herself, not wanting to burden the group with her past.
[I'm oddly proud of this post]

[It okay, i'm patient ^.^]

Riverrush felt Nika's body move and he fought with sleep before he got to his paws and gave his face a quick wash. He let the sunlight hit his pelt and he streatched before going hunting. He spotted a small thrush and crept forward, his paws light and his body lowered he sprang and caught the thrush in his claws. He picked it up and started heading back when he saw Nika. "Hey." he mewed around his kill, he saw she already caught something and smiled. "Good job."

Nika snapped out of her trance once a sweet voice rang in her ears."Hello Riverrush, your up early this morning." She commented, then laughed a little before saying "Well so am I, but still, did you have trouble sleeping?" She asked worridly, green eyes bright.
