Space Credit to @PikaKit for their original drawing. Name: Tumbleweed, but all his friends call him Tumble, even though he hates it. Age: 27 Gender: Male Personality: refuses to go out of his way to help others. easy riled. bitter. fun-loving. he has a talent for singing.easy going (sometimes) but if someone is throwing a party, he WILL be there. Bio: Tumble padded though the cold, wet streets of his town. he sighed. nothing fun was happening. and no one was awake to talk to. he stopped suddenly, sniffing the air..."hmmmm" he growled. "relax" he chided him-self. his thoughts wandered. he hated when they did that. because they always ended up... where they always end up... he flinched. pushing the thoughts away. he stopped to smell the air again. "a dog.." he paused... then upon hearing its pounding paw-steps along the pavement behind him, he ran. he could always out run any day, any day. well, most of the time, he thought. the dog's hot breath was now on the edge of is white tail-tip. Tumble searched around while he ran, there HAD to be a place to hide... almost as soon as he thought that, he found it, the dog snapped at his tail, but missed as Tumble jumped up on to a hood of a parked car, then the roof of the car, then up to the roof of a building, hiding him on the roof, the dog looked up, and round, then finally seemed to have spotted him, and smirked. and then started chuckling. the indigent Tumble looked around, wondering why he dog was laughing, then he saw it, oh the irony. the roof he was hiding on, was a store's roof. and there was a large red, neon, lit up arrow, pointing the the doors, and, him. he sighed with a small smile. the dog howled from down below. "i can wait for you forever cat!!" he said, as he sat below Tumble and his perch. a few hours past. Tumble, peaked over the edge of the roof. the mutt was still there. it was quiet . the thoughts of his past where coming back. whenever he was alone, and it was quiet . he would think about his sisters. his mother and father. he curled into a ball. "why didn't they come with me?" he asked himself, although he asked him self that almost everyday. "i can't believe they, they actually wanted to stay with, with that human" he closed his eyes and remembered him-self as a kit, playing with his littermates bounding around out side in the garden. when, he mother came out, and called to them, she had seemed sad. and he soon found out why. their owner, was giving the kits away, he barely remembered shouting "WHAT!?! but, but, MOM why? did we do something wrong?" "no, you see, nice folk who live a little while away are needing good strong cute kittens" she said, trying not to show how sad she was in front of her kits. and, she said nodding to Sage, the smallest of them all. "there are also nice people waiting for you sage" Tumble couldn't believe his ears. "YOU MEAN WE WON'T BE TOGETHER?!?" "no, well, kinda. you see" said his mother softly "You, and your sister, Pepper, will live with a nice owner, who lives in the city, and, you, Sage, will live down the road with some nice farmers. you can hunt mice - i know how you love to try to catch them- and we will all be happy, i promise" Tumble, now chuckled at those words, back then, he was so blind and trusting, he spat in contempt of what had happened. yes, they went to live in the city. but the man was not "a good, nice man who will take care of you" like his mother said, although, how could she have known. at first. he seemed... ok. but then, he started acting strange, he would be bent over papers at his rickety table and muttered something. he had looked at the two kittens standing before him, and back at the paper, and cursed. Tumble, looking back, now understood, that, the man probably could not even afford the house he lived in, much less take care of cats. ever since that day he had acted hostile to the kittens. but then, one day, after they had finished with their meal, (if it could be even called, that, it looked more like a snack to tumble) his sister Pepper, had politely pick up her bowl, trotted up to the man, set it down, and quietly mewed, asking for more. the man glared down at her. suddenly he swung up his foot and harshly kicked Pepper.Tumble, who had been watching shyly from the dusty corner, was as startled as Pepper, but much, much more angry. with a snarl, quite large for a kitten of his age, he made a flying leap toward the man, biting down hard on his arm. the man had yelled, and cussed at him, threw him across the room, standing up, the man marched to the door, opened it, the kicked the snarling, screeching, and clawing tumble out the door. it had felt so good to be out of the dusty, and most likely moldy house, at first he found it kinda scary, to be out doors, alone, (continued in the notes and credits)

Pepper had looked down at her paws nervously "but, Tumble, we are not feral... we are kittens... we... i..can't do it." "What!!??" "im sorry Tumble" "fine" said Tumble bitterly.he stayed there with his sister for 2 more months, she still would not leave, even though he had begged her to., as they past, the man became more aggressive, and Tumble sneaked out more often. one day, he went out side, it was a misty morning. the dew on the leaves shimmered in the light. he saw Pepper looking though the window at him, he smiled at her. he smiled back, but the smile quickly turned to dread. Tumble, surprised, looked around, then up, just in time to see the talons of a eagle close around his middle and carry him into the air, after a few seconds of flying, the eagle dipped his head to bite Tumble's throat to kill him, but as the eagle lowered his head, Tumble lashed out with his claws sinking into the eagles eyes. with a screech, the eagle dropped him into a river below, the current had dragged Tumble along for a few miles until Tumble was able to drag himself out, he never tried to find his way back. no. he would not go back to his "home" not ever. Snapped back into reality back the dog's barking below, Tumble sighed. "my sister probably thought i died, then she probably died cuz of that man," he whispered to himself.(little did he know, Pepper was rescued by ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) a few days later) but then shouted to the dog below "HEY MUTT! aren't your owners missing you!" the dog looked up "uh, well, yeah...... i better go then" Tumble snorted with disgust as the dog got up and started to walk away "HEY MUTT! don't you dare come back again cuz i got some friends that can kill you with one bite!!" shouted Tumble, referring to some weirdo dragon named Jinx he was encountered a few weeks ago. the dog seemed concerned "my name is Blue BTW, anyway, it was fun casing you!! hope i see you again!". ...............BIOS FOR OCS USED IN THE STORY..................
