Sweet Chocolate

A collab between Clever and Tall

Prologue- Clever
Lightning flew from the sky. Heavy rain poured down on a small silver tabby’s head. Thunder rumbled ominously in the dark, wild sky. Woken by rain, the tabby got up. But something startled her. Her fur was cold. Her son was missing.

“Chocolate!” She called. “Chocolate?”

No reply.

The tabby’s son was not in the hiding spot. “Chocolate! Come out!” she cried, desperately looking for the small, brown body. Then she heard a little squeak.

“Momma!”

“Chocolate?” Asked the silver she-cat.

“Momma! Silver, where are you!”

Silver shook the raindrops from her pelt and got out of the hiding place. She began to search for her son. Suddenly, a voice sounded from far away.

“Momma! Sissy isn’t moving!”

Silver broke into a run, frightened and ears perked up.

When she finally reached Chocolate, she was not prepared for the scene that awaited her.

A small silver she-kit was laying in the mud. Silver stared down at her in horror. “Isabelle. No, Isabelle, no. Not her. Please don’t take her!”

Silver knew her daughter was dead. Her ripped fur, her glazed green eyes. Silver knew these were signs of death. Carefully, she lifted up the frail body and dug a hole. She buried Isabelle in the dark, murky mud.

“How did this happen?” Demanded Silver.

“I-I woke up and Isabelle wasn’t there. I w-went out to look for her, but s-she wasn’t around our den. T-Then I found her here. She had a heavy branch on her. I m-managed to get it off, but she wasn’t moving.” Stammered Chocolate.

Silver looked down at her scared son. “It’s alright. Just come with me. We’ll go back to the den, sleep, and hopefully the storm will be over in the morning. She gently picked up Chocolate by his scruff. She wasn’t holding on tight, but she was sure it was tight enough.

But it wasn’t.

Chocolate flew from his mother’s mouth, taken by the ravaging winds. “Momma!” He sobbed with wild amber eyes.

“Chocolate!” Cried Silver as her son was swept away into the dark night.
