Stay here.
The words still echoed in the young feline’s mind. The tone had been stern and strict. No one ever goes against Mom's orders, especially when it was said in that voice unless you had a death wish. Still, Rhifel couldn’t help but cast nervous glance up at the sky. Through the canopy of branches and leaves, the gray-ish blue of the day was slowly but surely becoming more of a pink-gray color. Which meant that…Night time was coming again. It would be the second time the whole cycle had happened and yet…Mom still wasn’t back.
She had told her to stay on an island of damp glass in the middle of what felt like a hundred lakes. The young feline wasn't sure she could swim properly. The few times they had to cross them with her family, she had to be carried. Even on their way there, her mom had to put her on her back to cross safely.
This...didn't feel right. But it was Mom's decision so... it couldn't be wrong. Right?
Rhifel's ears twitched as a low rumbling sound echoed from afar. She hated the rain.
What was taking Mom so long ?
Maybe one of her brothers or sisters was in trouble again. After all, she got in trouble all the time herself. But she wasn’t in trouble this time. Not by sitting still, right there. But it didn’t mean the others couldn’t do something dumb and get on mom’s nerves. Which, in turn, would take time to fix and in conclusion of it all, have Mom herself be late to pick her up. Yeah. that had to be it.
Another rumble came, this time from deep inside of her stomach. She grimaced again at the sour feeling from her guts and looked around. She was hungry. She stood up, tentatively walking out as far as she could without leaving the very spot her mom had plopped her on. Her siblings and her had eaten fish a few times before and she had seen her sibling jump in small river banks in order to try and catch some. If there was water, there was fish, and she had plenty of the former one around. But no matter how much she tried to extend herself, she couldn’t reach. Not by staying on the same spot…
Rhifel looked around herself, worried that the instant her rump would detach from the grass she would see her mom appear from nowhere and scold her for going against her order. But…she was really hungry… She didn't need to go too far away from the spot, right ? Swallowing hard, she dared to step away and to the closest pond. She couldn't see anything in it, other than her own reflection. A red ball of fur and nothing else. Her hunger trickled away from her first line of thoughts as she continued to stare into what she knew was herself. That weird fur color. Weird eye color. Weird everything.
With a frown, the young one detached her gaze from the water to look around. Despite how much she listened, how much she looked or smelled, nothing was there but what had been around her for the past two days. The smell of muddy, stagnant water and decaying vegetation. The sounds of bugs, frogs, and who knew what was swimming under the surface coming back up from time to time. And the general sickly greens and grays of what was trying really hard to grow and survive in the midst of the swamp. An idea started to form in her mind, an idea she really didn't like that much. And to prove it wrong, she tried the only thing she really knew.
"Mom !"
