Petalpaw was walking beside her brother, Flarepaw, as they hunted. Their mother, Lustercloud, was sniffing for fresh-kill a tail length ahead. Petalpaw wrinkled her nose when fresh Twoleg scent wafted in the air. She nudged Flarepaw and mewed, "Lustercloud, do you smell that?" The silver tabby froze and raised her head, gulping in the scent. She whirled around.

"Hide!" She wailed, shoving agaisnt her kits. "There are Twolegs around!" Flarepaw turned tail and bounded away, but Petalpaw, being curious as she was, slipped past her mother and stalked towards the scent. She could hear her mother howling for her to come back, but kept pushing through the bracken. She staggered back in shock when she shoved through a bush to find she was in a clearing that was buzzing with Twolegs.

She yowled in alarm and tried to turn and run, but a female Twoleg who had been frighteningly close wrapped her chunky paws around Petalpaw's neck and back, pulling her close to her chest. She howled to the other Twoleg, one not much bigger than the one that held Petalpaw. They chatted loudly, while Petalpaw thrashed in the small one's grip. She saw a flash of white, and Flarepaw was staring at her in alarm.

"Flarepaw! Help me!" She wailed, clawing desperatley at the Twoleg. He opened his jaws to reply, but the bigger Twoleg squealed when she spotted him and chased after him, clunking through the forest. Flarepaw wailed, turned tail, and ran. She prayed her brother hadn't been injured by the Twoleg. The one that held her put her in a strange box thing, closing it so she couldn't escape. She slumped as far from the opening as possible, and fell asleep whimpering.

She woke when she felt the sensation she was rocking. Her eyes flew open, and she yowled when she realized a Twoleg had picked her up adn was carrying her towards a monster. They opened its flank and shoved the box in, slamming the flank behind him. She cowered in fear. Petalpaw had expected them to release her so she could return to her Clan, but that obviously wasn't the case. She no longer trusted ehrself to sleep. She crouched, waiting to spring if they opened the door to the box. Another flank opened, and a Twoleg climbed in, along with the young ones she had seen yesterday. The monster roared to life, making her jump, and lurched forward. She peered out the clear backside of the monster, and watched her home disappear.
