Tall Grass : The Strange Creature

Previously...

"Are you going to finish that rabbit?"

"GO AWAY!" Kirsha growled and spun around to face the intruder.

Suddenly she stopped short. Growling in curiosity, she circled the strange creature warily.

"I said," the little creature repeated more firmly, "are you going to finish your rabbit?"

"Yes, strange creature," Kirsha hissed, wary of the creatures claws and teeth.

"What are you?" she growled.

The thing smiled and answered, "Well I suppose you haven't met a cat before this far into the wild."

"A cat?" Kirsha meowed, hostility replaced by curiosity. "The leader once mentioned cats!"

The cat rolled its eyes. "He probably didn't place us in the light, did he."

Kirsha narrowed her eyes. "He also said they didn't talk."

"Sorry to disappoint you, for I thought bobcat's didn't either," the cat jested, licking his paw.

"What's your name?" Kirsha questioned.

Winking before replying, the cat answered, "I am Icemoon from the clan of cats who lives around this area."

"Clan?" Kirsha asked, flicking her tail and sitting down.

Rolling his eyes, Icemoon exclaimed, "Surely you've heard of us sometime! We hunt here regularly!"

Kirsha glanced around, and answered, "No, never have."

Silence.

"Well then, you wouldn't mind sharing your rabbit since I've answered you're questions?" Icemoon questioned hopefully.

"Fine." Kirsha purred, "On one condition."

"And what's that?" Icemoon mewed cooly, flicking his tail again and standing up to stretch.

"You show me the way to a home."
