*:・゚✧☁ ⋯ Thunder keened over the horizon, and the air was heavyset with ozone. She couldn't be more terrified.
Her nostrils drew in feeble breaths, head tilted up so the desperate exhales were quieted. Gloom forgot all about the crawling bugs, and the tick-bites, and feeling itchy and weak and covered in bark. Impending doom was upon her, and soon the cats who'd spotted her and attempted to find her in the thickets would breach the undergrowth.
Her mind had processed the patrol minutes earlier in a panicked blur, and the pelts she'd seen were a mirage of colours. She could only remember two or three, but there could be more. Instinctually, she'd fled, despite the scarier storm approaching, dark clouds prowling over the lighter grey.
Voices sprung up, blooming in the distance, trailing ever closer. A shout, and quieter coos masquerading as comfort. Heartbeat thrumming faster, her amber eyes squeezed shut. The kit searched hastily for her courage, grasping for it in the thickness of her anxiety. Resolved, she took a few shaky steps out from behind the tree trunk, until she was confronted dead-on with one of the felines who'd helped look for her. Tentative footfall turned into a run, and gritting her teeth, she warbled her battle cry.
Trying to latch needle claws onto the bigger cat's leg, a furious grey, bristling furball, Gloom attacked.
