Heavy eyelids blinked open, slowly revealing a blurry room. She would open and close her eyes a few times, trying to adjust to the light. The overwhelming aroma of herbs and plants was almost sickening. Never before had she smelled something quite like this. The longer she remained awake, she began to feel more and more pain ebbing from her shoulder. She would let out a groan, but the pain was still nothing like it had been. The fiery tabby would attempt to stand, but her paws were too shaky to hold her weight, and she crashed down into her nest.
Outside the strange den, she could hear voices, and lots of them. The smell of cats was so intense, she wondered how many were here. News had spread of large groups of cats living in this area, but she had just assumed it was kitty pet tales. Had she really found one of these groups? Were they going to eat her, like the tales also said? Instinctively, the fur on her neck began to rise, but she forced it back down. If they were going to eat her, why would they have put these leaves on her wound? Whatever plants they were, it seemed to be helping.
She opened her jaws to speak, but her throat was so hoarse from thirst that she had to clear it a few times. "H-....Hello?" she could call out, not very loudly. "Where am I?"
