Chapter Three - Lost ~ Flower awoke with a start. She stretched, yawning, as she waited for her parents to come home with fresh-kill. Suddenly, the iron tang of blood hit her nose, and with cold realization she remembered the attack. She stifled a wail of despair as she noticed the two, lifeless cats laying on the stone floor of the camp. /No!/ She wanted to screech. /No!/ At that instant, she took off, dashing out through the ferns and into the forest. She had to warn Rose. Flower ran faster than she thought she ever could. /I must reach her!/ Even though she was only just a kit, Flower had managed to dodge every fallen branch, and leap over the fallen log without skimming the top. She stopped dead. /There was never a log on the way to Rose's camp!/ She looked around wildly. Nothing she saw was familiar. /I'm lost!/ It was getting dark. Soon, the owls would come out of their nests to prey on small animals. /And kits./ Flower started to panic. She took of again, hoping to find the trail before night. She ran for what seemed like a moon, and still no luck. She came to a stop near a dead tree. There was a small hollow just below the roots, a perfect place to curl up for a good sleep. She padded drowsily inside, hardly caring about the roots that caught on her pelt. /I'll stay here for the night, and find Rose tomorrow./ Flower rested her head on her paws and closed her eyes. /I just hope that I'm not too late./
