Brownie's Tail {She's a bob-tail, the red patch is her [stumpified] tail. Her bob-tail shows when the wave passes.} ---- "Mom, you're going to get yourself killed!" worried Dash. The elegant ginger cat's expression faded with worry. The Barn was notable for its mean barn cats. "Dash, we need to get food. The forest has been hunted out. The Barn is the only place that is rich in prey and Tart-Lime and her gang can't reach us here. We need this food." mewed Brownie sharply. TIMESKIP The dog was growling. Dash was 7 moons old and vulnerable. Brownie ran in front of Dash just as the dog lunged. Suddenly the world went black and the dog ran away. The piercing cry of a MissingPelt {human} rang in the air. TIMESKIP When Brownie woke up, she and Dash were on the edge of the river. The bridge was right in front of them, so Brownie and Dash ran across it. Dash said she was getting tired, so they rested by the river's edge. They sat by the rushing water, and you could tell Dash was fatally injured by the dog. "Mom, can we rest?" asked Dash. "Sure." purred Brownie. 1 HOUR PASSES Dash hadn't awoken and Brownie was getting worried, even though the claw-moon sat by the stars. As she reached out to put her tail on Dash, she saw what happened. She was a bobtail. "No wonder my tail hurt." she murmured. She extended her paw and she felt Dash's heartbeat. It was strong. Dash was a survivor, and so was Brownie.
