The sky was crazy. The air sparked with electricity. Lightning clawed at the air furiously, unable to reach Pandora. The now sopping wet she-cat was crouched in the back of a cave, licking frantically at her wet fur. It was cold. Usually something that Pandora loves, but this time, it was harsh.
The water was soaking into her skin, and the draft from the cave made it worse.
Tomorrow, Pandora thought, I'm going to find a real den to live in. Not some random cave.
Pandora sighed and licked her single and only paw, drawing it drowsily over her ears and head. After a few good licks, her fur began to dry. Pandora began to feel warmth again.
Pandora sighed. She couldn't sleep. Images kept playing themselves in the bak of her scarred mind. So much had happened in the past few moons. Her birth, her mother's death, then the love radiating from her father, then her father's death. Then loneliness.
All because of... Pandora.
If it wasn't for Pandora, her mother wouldn't have been in that ally, and her father wouldn't have gotten wounded. Why was I born? Pandora always asked herself.
"Alright, Pandora, time to gather yourself and get settled." She said to herself, sitting up and stretching.
Were there other cats in Deathclan? Or was it just some ragtag group of wild cats that had nothing better to do?
Just after thinking that, Pandora heard a voice at the cave's entrance.

Ash was under a tree that provided some cover from the rain, but suddenly a branch fell off behind her, brushing her tail. The dark tabby was soaked, then got wetter as she looked for a good shelter, as her den was across the territory. What's wrong with this weather? I can't catch a single scent in this! The royal started to run, then skidded through a puddle as she had a soft scent of cat. Ash then frowned and tried to follow the scent, getting a blow of wind and a flash of lightning. She growled and walked around, finding a little cave and sighing,
"Hello?.." she said in a deep voice.

"Who's there?!" Pandora hissed, spinning around, almost loosing her balance on her single front leg.
See, Pandora isn't one for guests. Even though she doesn't mind it every once in a while, she doesn't appreciate being scared out of her fur.
Pandora sighed, regaining her breath and pride that was scattered through the cave. Standing up taller, she quietly limped her way to the caves entrance. A stiff wind blew inside. Lightning lit up the frame of another cat. Slim.
Thunder boomed overhead, and rain poured down on the other cat.
"Get in, before you freeze to death!" Pandora spat.

Ash waited a bit, then seeing a figure walk to the opening. She looked where there should have been another leg, but decided to be quiet and look otherwise. She nodded and walked deeper in the cave, then sighing, I have a feeling my den is flooded. The tabby huffed in exhaustion, not wanting to dry her fur off, yet. She looked up, "Thank you, it's tough out there, isn't it?" The dark tabby scratched behind her ear, wondering who this cat was, but not asking, since most DeathClanners were very anti-social.

Pandora happened to notice through her spearmint eyes the look that the she-cat gave her missing leg's spot. Annoyance edged its way into her thoughts.
"Yes, very much so." Pandora meowed flatly, keeping her voice level. "So, what is your name?" She asked, letting out a breath. She just realized she had been holding it, too.
Again, lightning clawed at the entrance, snapping and booming and hissing in anger. Lightning made the cave tremble. But the cave held tight.
Pandora shuttered, thinking of what had happened to her and her friend she had met along the way here. It began to storm, worse than this. The two of them had took to a cave for shelter. The cave had flooded, and Pandora was the only one to escape.

(It's fine, also short. Sorry. *Also, I switched from another account. Sorry D:)
Ash cleaned her paws from the mud, not wanting to bother the other cat too much. Almost shocked at her question she hesitated, "Ash is my name, and yours?" The tabby blinked water out of her eye, wondering what had come for the weather. I do hope everyone's fine, she thought with a sigh. Flexing her claws into the dirt, she suddenly worried on how long it would take. I'll have a temporary den before mine dries out..

Pandora nodded. "Pleased to meet you, Ash." She meowed politely, still making it so nothing seeped into her voice. "My name is Pandora." She answered in a simple say.
Now that Ash had come into focus, Pandora could make out more detail. She had long grey fur and light somewhat stripes.
Wonder why she's called Ash. Pandora thought, just trying to calm herself. She doesn't like storms. They scare here, with all the lightning and loud thunder.
"So, Ash, why aren't you home? Are you lost?"

The royal looked out of the cave, thinking how bored she would be without a conversation. The tabby was about to speak until a thrashing of thunder jolted her, leaving her speechless. The tabby sighed, turning her hear around to get a good view of the cave, pretty decent in storms. The tabby then replied, "I was out hunting, thinking the rain'll go away pretty quickly. My den is on the other side.. probably drowned by now." she murmured. "Well you're new to DeathClan? A peasant?"

Pandora sighed. She couldn't help feeling bad for Ash. That really stinks. Thunder again erupted overhead. "Yes, I'm new. This isn't my real den, tomorrow I'm going to find one that suits."
She backed into the cave. She had recently caught a 2 mice. Later, if Ash decided to wait out the storm, she would offer one to her. No sents in giving away free food when they can catch there own, much easier. Especially if they are going to their den.
"So, would you like to stay here and wait out the storm? I don't mind the company, and I can't imagine you'd want to wander out in that." Pandora asked quietly.

Ash nodded, "I've been here since I was young, I'm now part of the royal team," she said with a small sneeze. The dark grey feline twitched her nose before looking out in the rain. "I might even try to find a new den at that, Probably at higher grounds due to this." For a while, she was just silent, despite the racket of the storm. She wondered if it would snow, in New-Leaf, she doubted it, as it wasn't cold enough. She laid down, "I would love to, better than being a soggy mop like those of the twolegplace," she said, shivering, not of the cold, but of her memory of her visit to the kittypet filled territory.

"Oh. If you don't mind my asking, what is the royals team?" Pandora asked, tilting her head slightly.
"Also, I have 2 mice I caught earlier. Would you like one?" The she-cat asked, sitting down across from Ash. Pandora brought her nub up, the spot where her right front leg should be. She then began to briskly lick at the bottom of it, keeping the wound clean so it would heal properly.
Lightning thrashed outside in the sky, refusing to give up. |

"Well, there are a few cats that Drought had called royalty, they're cats who have earned the rank by good deeds," she explained, rubbing her eye. The tabby then looked around the cave, "Mice? Oh, sure thank you." The tabby looked at the absent leg, wondering what happened, and feeling bad. She just didn't want to talk about a possible sensitive topic.

Pandora nodded. Maybe she should try becoming a royal? Would it benefit her?
The she-cat turned sharply and hobbled to the back of the cave towards the small pile of mice. Snatching two up in her mouth by the tails, she then turned again and returned to Ash, who sat quietly.
Pandora noticed how Ash glanced at the place where her leg should be. But she gave no invitation to speak of it. She just remained silent and placed the prey down between them.
She sat down, her haunches shuttering as they connected with the cold stone.
Pandora slid down onto her stomach, and bit into the mouse closest. It was delicious and dry, not soaked and muddy.

Ash scratched her torn ear, then yawned, wondering how long it'll take for the storm to pass. A mouse, small or not, would prevent me from starving through the storm, she thought, knowing she hasn't eaten for a while. "Thank you," she called, as Pandora placed the morsels down. She held back from gulping it down, and took rather small bites, trying to savor the tender meat.
(Oh that's completely fine! But glad you're back c:)

Pandora nodded. "so, what is it like being a royal?" She asked.
