What's Happened? (Mika)

[Deleted]

Where Are You Now?

Kiki was in her den, in her tree, overlooking the river. Her yellow eyes were watching it flow slowly by as her mind began to turn. It had been a while since she had seen her little friend, Mika. She had seemed like a very energetic young she-cat who would be good company to keep around. From the way she had gone on about being friends, Kiki had assumed she would see her more. She didn't have a true grasp of the whole concept, but she was pretty sure friends saw each other from time to time.

The loner stretched out and sighed. Maybe she should try to find her, instead of the other way around. She had nothing better to do, anyway. The black and brown she-cat swiftly rose and bounded down the trunk of the willow, hitting ground and wondering where to begin.

Mika was now able to walk around but she knew Storm had his eye on her at ALL times. She walked around till she saw Kiki! Oh she was so overjoyed! Her friend that she hadn't seen for so long..but Mika wouldn't be allowed to tell..or Storm would kill her then and there. Mika was battered up she had a broken paw, a cut over her left eye. Her fur was matted and full of dirt. You could see her ribs from choosing to starve and not having to suffer. But..her stomach was bigger than before. For the fact was she was going to have kits...his kits.

Visions Of Horror

Kiki hadn't taken but a few pawsteps before the she-cat had come into view. She blinked. "Mika?" She padded closer, parting her jaws to ask her where she had been the last moon or so, when she noticed Mika's physical appearance. It wasn't anything like how it had been the last time they' met. Now the she-cat seemed hollowed out, ribs obviously pointing out at her sides. She had numerous cuts, the most distinctive one right over her eye. Her grey fur was matted, as if she hadn't bathed in days, and she was holding her paw funny. Kiki was too surprised by these attributes that the loner failed to see her swollen tummy. "Mika, what happened?"

[Deleted]

Mika couldn't speak she just leaned int her friends fur. She finally got the courage to speak "Storm...broken paw...starve instead of pain...cuts..kits...kill.."she mewed in a horse tone unable to get anything else out. Her throat was dry and her body ached, her paws soon gave way and she fell forward while leaning on her friend. She slid to the ground closing her eyes...

Helping Hand

"Mika? Mika!" Kiki nudged her as she fell to the ground. What was she talking about? What storm? What kits? Horror churned in her belly. "Come on, Mika, stay awake," she growled, not in anger but in fear. But seeing that she was already unconscious, Kiki bent down to grab the scruff of her neck and dragged her friend over to the river. Her weight made it difficult, but she kept pulling. She let go when they reached the bank, then splashed water toward Mika's face with her forepaw to wake her up.

[Deleted]

Mika woke a bit dizzy she was happy to feel water as a bit slid down her throat. She uneasily tried to sit up and bend down to get more water. She lapped up more water making the dryness in her throat go away. She then sat up and faced Kiki now that she was able to talk. She first looked from side to side making sure that she couldn't see Storm if he was watching her. "Storm...did this..all of it..the cuts, broken paw..and.." she hesitated "the kits.." she mewed at last looking to her stomach then gave it a few quick licks before turning back to Kiki.

This Feeling Deep Inside

Kiki's eyes widened as she listened, then narrowed into tiny slits. "Why that piece of fox-dung!" she snarled, fur bristling along her spine. She felt strange. This anger and pure hatred fury was completely out of character for the black she-cat. Then again, she had never really had a reason to be so angry. She growled from deep in her throat. "I'll kill him, I swear I will." The loner began nosing Mika over, checking her over for the worst spots. "You need some fresh-kill, and some herbs..."

"c-can I s-stay with you? I-in your t-tree?" she asked looking to Kiki her eyes droopy. She then looked back up to Kiki "can I-I p-please...have some food..and maybe some poppy seeds..but I need some cob webs for..my side cut' Strom had put a huge gash along her side where it had stopped bleeding but could be opened up easily.

Not Letting You Fall

Kiki nodded sharply. "Of course, fur ball! You think I'm going to let you go wandering off like this? No, sir." She glanced up toward her nest in the crook of the willow tree. It was a bit high up from the ground, about four or five tail lengths. It wasn't likely that Mika could make the climb up in her state. "I have most of those things in my nest. Wait a moment." With her heart pounding in her ears, the loner she-cat bounded back toward her tree and climbed it quickly. She pawed through her supplies. She had on hand a mouse and a young rabbit for food, and a spider had made it's own nest not too far up ahead. But no poppy seeds. Making best of it, the black loner took the mouse's tail and the rabbit's foot in her jaws and wrapped the large cobweb around her tail, shaking off the spider in the process, and leapt back down. "Here, eat these. I'll take care of that cut. I don't have any poppy seeds, I'm afraid."

[Deleted]

Mika eagerly ate the mouse and then quickly started to eat the rabbit. The way she ate told that she hadn't eaten in days. She let Kiki repair the damage but there was one she couldn't. She finished the rabbit and walked over to the tree and looked up "I have to get up there" she mewed.

Save Me

Kiki glanced from her friend to the tree. "I don't know if you could make it, Mika. With three good paws and healing wounds, maybe we could just make a nest at the base." She had seen the way the grey she-cat had eaten, as if she'd been starved for a moon. Whoever this 'Storm' tom was, he'd pay as soon as she got her claws on him. "I might be able to get you up there, but it probably wouldn't help your condition."

[Deleted]

Mika kept her gaze up "No I want up I need to be off the ground out of an easy attack" Mika then looked to Kiki "If you can get up there then I will jump you can help by grabbing my scruff" She mewed her voice determined. "Plus isn't it big enough for like three cats? and mu broken claw if it doesn't heal I will have to find a new way of using it like to dig, to fish,to fight" she mewed.

[Deleted]

Take My Hand

Her mouth was tight and unsure, but in the end she nodded. "Alright. I'll head on up there, then wait to help you up if you need it." The black she-cat then turned and claws her way up the willow's slightly tilted trunk, landing in the large crook of the tree and looked back down at the ginger she-cat below. "Ready?"

[Deleted]

Mika positioned herself "ready" she mewed then pounced up to the branch. She had been able to hook her broken paw into a position to where she could pull herself up. She got up and sat on the branch then looked to Kiki "My paw might just become and advantage" she mewed. then looked to the den "do you mind if I where to have a short nap?" she asked she really needed some rest without worry of dying.

[Deleted]

Revenge Is Sweeter

Kiki twitched her whiskers. "Could be," she mewed, "but I wouldn't rely on it too much yet. Using it too much will make it worse." The black loner moved back to give Mika more space, and settling down once she had. "Of course I don't mind. You're exhausted. Just make yourself at home, and it the morning if you're up to it you can talk to me about this tom. I'll have a few claws to settle on his neck." Her yellow eyes narrowed as the burning hatred returned to her belly. He wouldn't get away alive if she had her way.
