Rain moon, Day 20, close to evening.
It wasn't often that Flare came this far into the forest. Violet might tell them that most kittypets were nice, but Jay had snuck enough horror stories into Flare's kithood about the bad ones that Flare was wary of getting too close. But the colder it was, the closer Flare was forced to venture to feed his family. He'd remembered Violet once telling him that some twolegs kept feeders in their yards full of seeds and nuts and things that squirrels and birds ate.
It was with this in mind that Flare was heading for Twolegplace after a day of fruitless hunting. That didn't stop him from sniffing the air and looking for prey on the way though. It was smelling the air that had Flare freezing. Blood. Not so much that whoever it was was dead or dying, but enough to be a concern. It took him only two heartbeats to decide to abandon his hunt and find whoever it was that hurt.
Flare put his nose to work and tracked the scent to a small natural cave hidden beneath the roots of a tree. The smell of cat and blood was strongest there. "Hello? Is anybody there? I smell blood. Do you need help?"
