the white object

Moon woke up the next morning to see Feather still smiling. She saw her mother, and Moon could tell. She went outside, cautious not to wake her, and laid in a patch of sun, just thinking.

Feather woke up moments later to see Moon outside.''What are you doing?''Feather asked,
still smiling.She completly forgot about the white object.

"Huh?" Moon looked at her. "Oh, just...just thinking..." Moon closed her eyes and tried to hold in what she was thinking really hard.

''About what?''Feather asked.

"Oh, it's nothing." Moon said, pushing the thought out of her mind. "I saw you earlier." she said, changing the topic. "I take it you saw your mother."

''Yeah...she licked me from head-to-tail.''Feather mewed.

Moon widened her eyes a bit, after thinking a moment. "What color is her fur?" she asked.

''she's a silver tabby''Feather mewed.

"Okay." Moon replied, not explaining anything. Her eyes hinted some sadness, and she laid her head on her paws again and closed her eyes.

''Whats up with you?the only white family member i have is my brother...but,why do you care?''
Feather mewed.

Moon jumped up onto her paws and looked at Feather with concern and a hint of anger. "He could be the white object, Feather! When was the last time you saw him, and is he alive!?"

''He lives with my dad high up in te mountains...I haven't seen him since I met you.
I could take you there...''Feather mewed.

"No!" Moon said. "I don't want you seeing him either. Until we can find out what the white object is, we can't take any risks with white animals, cats or not!"

''Wait...My dad met a she-cat after my mom died.We were taking a walk and we walked
far away from the tribe.It was winter.There was a white bear..It killed the she-cat my dad
was with.Could that be it?''Feather mewed.

Moon widened her eyes. "It also could have been your brother." Moon mumbled. "Until we're sure," Moon said out loud, "Stay in camp, and make sure others can see you."

''What ever you say...''Feather mewed.

"I don't mean to be bossy, but we can't take any chances!" Moon said. "That white object was dangerous, whatever it was. You're the main character in this prophecy, and I want you to be safe."

''I know!But I need to know what it was.''Feather mewed.''What it is planning.''She added.

Moon sighed. "Go and see your family then." Moon said, giving in. "But come straight back when you're done."

''I can't aproach my old home alone at night,though.''Feather mewed.

"I'll come then, if it's alright with you." Moon said, looking up at her.

''Well let's go then.''Feather mewed,padding out of the den.They were almost to the top of the
mountain,when they spotted a gray cat.''Hello Feather in the breeze.Who's your...um...friend?''
The gray tom mewwed.''Nobody.It's none of your business,fog that overcomes the clouds!''
Feather snapped.''Oh,but I think it IS my bussiness.''He mewed,putting his claws to Feathers
face.

Moon pounced on the cat and pinned him to the ground. "Stay out of our fur!" she spat.

Fog grinned.''And who might you be?''He mewed.''A friend of Feather's?''He added.

"Why do you care?" Moon said getting off him and padding back to Feather.
