Tribe Of Rushing Water

From Create Your Own Story

You wake up. There is something warm snuggled up next to you... Your mother! Yes, that's it, Fern Speckled with Frost must still be sleeping. And your brother and sister, Hawk Soaring in Clouds and Rain Freezing into Hail, seem to be asleep also. You open your eyes and wriggle around.

Your name is Fox. More specifically, Fox Stalking Prey in Snow. You are five moons old and a kit in the Tribe of Rushing Water. You love playing in the cave, and hope to be a Cave Guard when you are older. Your siblings both want to be Prey Hunters. You look at them. Hawk is strong but lithe, his light tabby coat gleaming. Rain is more rounded, with a dappled silver coat, but everyone says she has the makings of a great hunter. You are different: short, stocky, and not looking at all like the fox you were named for. Your reddish tabby fur is prickly and your eyes a muddy brown.

Rain starts to wake up. "Hey, Rain." You hiss playfully. "Finally woke up, huh?"

She sighs in fake exasperation, but there is a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Shut up, Fox. It's not my fault you're up early."

You playfully shove her. She squeaks and tumbles out of the nest, not moving.

Check on her.

Wake up Hawk.

Go do something else, somewhere else, and ignore your sister.
