Jade forest Chapter 4

"So Fluffy what do you think were supposed to do while hunting for birds?" Storm inquired, she wanted to get a edge so that teaching him will be easy as it can be. " um.. climb up a tree?? and er.. catch it?" Fluffy said sheepishly. Storm giggles as they started to tread through the snow leaving paw prints, snow swirling slowing down twirling to the ground. "No not exactly" Storm stifles a giggle, 'he really doesn't know anything about hunting' storm thought. "For a beginner like you it would be best for you not to use trees not only you have to do all the same on the ground you have to keep yourself balanced and knowing where you will land with out harm coming to yourself or destroying your prey" Storm explained. "So you will hunt on the ground for a birds trust me its much easier than from a tree, ok so first rules" Storm said calmly. "Ok" Fluffy said as he listened closely.
"Good, always and i mean always always stay down wind to prey not matter what it is, look at your surroundings place paws carefully, a shuffle of a leaf or a snap of a twig will set the prey off, some will be more to smell, hearing or seeing you before you get the chance to pounce, for birds they will either see or hear you" Storm explained making sure he was listening, Fluffy nodded head as he understood but also for her to keep going. "Ok we are here, when your hunting put our weight on your haunches it helps balance and make sound little less loud, stay concealed and try your best to be quiet, the good thing is they can't really smell" Storm instructed.
"Of course they can't smell they're not like those filthy dogs" Fluffy snorted in disgust, leaving a shocked face on storm from his sudden out burst, "Sorry Storm I didn't mean to do that, but i hate dogs.... anyways continue" Fluffy apologized.

  "Its alright fluffy" Storm smiled sweetly, "smell the air for any signs of prey but especially birds as more would be out around this time". As they sniffed the air for signs of prey storm asked something "so Fluffy tell me more about your self any siblings, friends, rivals,.... a mate?" Storm questioned.
"Hmmm i have a step brother and two sisters but once our master died they decided to go their separate ways, so did I..That's all i got is my family.. How about you?" Fluffy questioned back. Storm started to pick up a scent and flicked her tail for Fluffy to follow.
" Hmm no not really..... where would your family be at the moment maybe we could bring them here? if you want" Storm suggested as she slowed down, signalling for fluffy to be quiet with his paw steps "do you want to take this pigeon or do you want me to show you" Storm asked. "No no i want to watch get an idea" Fluffy reasoned, he watched as she swiftly took the birds life making it a clean kill.  "Wow thats awesome, as much as i would have loved to catch some prey but another snow storm is coming and winter is making days shorter" Fluffy said with a hint of concern in his voice.
"You're right fluffy we need to go back" Storm agreed with Fluffy 

They headed to the cave they're home.


Three months later
Fluffy and storm grew closer even though their first encounter was more on looks the time they spent together revealing who they really were, they both started to have feelings for each other real feelings but no of them knew how the other felt.

They were at the same spot three months ago when fluffy first day hunting and teaching 'he has come a long way' storm thought her thoughts were interrupted by a bush rustling she lifted her head in alarm as did fluffy who was standing by her side. Storm sniffed the air and growled "come out of their or i will rip your ears off" she growled. 'Who was storm talking to was another cat in the bush?' Fluffy though."If not things can go worse if you want. That being you running away with you tails between your legs!!" Storm shouted, after that threat a cat stepped forward, black tom with a white patch on his chest also on his paws tail tip and ears. "Wait storm he might be friendly" Fluffy trying to calm her down, '...It, or he/she looks very familiar.. maybe it's just me' fluffy thought.
"True .......b-but i cant take any chances, who Are You?!, and if he is friendly he will speak up" Storm countered, 'just remember what they taught me' Storm thought.
"Hello" the tom meows. He comes closer to introduce himself. 
"Nice to see you again fluffy.." The tom meows to fluffy
"Whiskers...?" Fluffy whispers. 
" Yes" Whiskers nods "by the way who is that feral cat besides you?" Whiskers snorted.
"apart from the one that saved fluffy's life, as well as the one to shred of your ear and pin you to the ground and anyway aren't you a feral.... unless you're a stupid house pet, that can't find his way out of the woods" Storm countered back.
"Whiskers don't call her that!!!!" Fluffy shouted.
"Ooo the little kitty is getting feisty" Whiskers smirks. "Yeah, as matter a fact i am a feral. I've been living in this forest for weeks,
catching prey, sleeping, you know how it works. Why are you with this weak, puny and selfish cat? I bet he wouldn't last a week in here" Whisker snapped back. 
"Bet he couldn't last a week?? pfft hes survived three months out here" Storm snorted
"Hey don't talk to me like that!" Fluffy hisses at Whiskers.
"Or what? you'll scratch me I mean tickle me with those "sharp claws" or should I say in your case... Prickles?" Whisker chuckles.

"grrrr I will show you weak" Storm snaps back as she paces around him, unsheathing her claws, storm lunges at him, pinning him down instantly, whiskers pushes her off, hissing. "Naw are you getting mad Whiskers?" Storm teased. Whiskers, lunges at her, but storm is ready and as he lands on her, she pushes him off with her hind legs straight into a tree, whiskers tries to get up but he is knocked down as storm puts her claws dangerously close to his throat." I would have killed you if it was a REAL fight ... but i don't want to get my paws dirty" She says while releasing her paw and sheathes her claws. "But you have natural talent very well fighter ill give you that" Storm compliments. Whisker tries to get up but stumbles revealing a gash in his leg. Storm passes fluffy brushing her pelt up against his a little both of them blushing a little. "Don't worry fluffy i will never kill if i was in real danger or .... you....... whiskers come to my den you need that gash treated" Storm informed.

"Woah you were awesome out there. you showed whiskers who's boss! and um.. by the way
did i forget to mention that he's actually my brother well.. step brother. And also, sorry if whiskers was
acting all mean and cruel back there.. he tends to do that sometimes". Fluffy looks over tho Whiskers. "I don't think we should help him, i know he's my brother but who knows.. he might attack me.. or you again and i don't want that to happen" Fluffy thought aloud.
 "Heh.. Even if this was a real fight, you wouldn't have the guts to kill me".Whiskers hissed as he tries to get up from the ground. "I don't need your encouragement nor help, just leave me here" whiskers hissed again he tries to walk but instead he collapses onto the ground I live alone, and i'll die alone now piss off!" Whisker hisses towards storm.
"See? thats why we shouldn't help him.." Fluffy reasoned
Storm puts on a smug smile. "If it was a real fight for survival and my life or fluffy's counted on it yes i would have killed and to bad im helping you are his brother after all and i kinda owe it to you no cat has EVER being able to pin me down or put a scratch and you did, you have natural talent a being a fighter now please letting me treat that wound........." Storm paused. "There will be food and water as well, i can get the pain to go away. Rabbits, mice, a vole, a few birds if not fine it truly shows you are not a feral but a rouge that is to weak to accept he needs help you may see asking for help weak but refusing when you really need it is more weak than that but your choice rouge" Storm offered coldly trying make believable to persuade him.

"Hm... grr... F-fine! enough arguing. I'll let you help me but only this once!." Whisker complies as he tries to stand up, but as soon as he tries he faints. "Thanks for offering him help stor-" Fluffy looks towards whiskers. "Whiskers! Come on storm! let's see if he is okay
- Hmm.. is he.. dead?" Fluffy says worrying whiling tilting his head.
"Don't worry fluffy he not dead .... yet he needs rest food and water 
he was in no condition to fight... i should have noticed that" Storm curses at herself under her breath. " Help me lift him up i'll grab his scruff and you grab the back of his scruff so it wont hurt him when we take him back, 3...2...1.. LIFT!!,come on lets go" Storm finished with muffling. The three cats get back home "I will use my moss bed, i'm gonna need a lot of my poppy seeds and cobwebs" Storm says quickly while running around the den and put the poppy seeds aside when he ways up while putting mint to stop infection. "Thats all i can do for him..... i guess well will be sharing a nest again huh Fluffy??" Storm said quietly.
"Yea" Fluffy Agrees.
"Wanna share the last squirrel storm?" Fluffy asked. 
"Yea sure" Storm answered.
"So storm.. will whiskers be alright? also the way you treated him was amazing" fluffy said.
"Yes for now ....." Storm answered a bit off in the distance as they syarted to dig into their meal. "Ahem anyway awhile ago i asked something you kind of didn't answer all of my question, you told me you had siblings but none of the other,......... s-so do you?" Storm inquired as she ate some squirrel. "E-er..  E-r well you see. Well I can name one rival but you can already tell who
that is" As explained as he pointed towards Whiskers. "And er. a ma-ate you say? er.. U-hm no I don't..D-do you have one?" Fluffy asks nervously while blushing.
"Hmmmm... nope being alone the rest of my life... oh wow its almost sundown" Storm said absently.
"Oh but its alright you have me now" Fluffy comforts while purring.
"I just remembered its a full moon tonight .... he wont wake up until morning so come i know the best place to star gaze.. you got to try it, you can see all of them and it will be especially beautiful tonight considering the full moon is out ......come on" Storm gasped giggling while running out of the den.
"Er? stargaze? full moon? O-okay! sure why not? i'd love to see the pretty night sky. oh and
if we're lucky we might see a shooting star! Hey! wait for me!" Fluffy says quiet enough to not disturb whiskers.
They stop outside the den both of their hearts fluttering at the idea of stargazing with each other.
