Jaden

The cougress sauntered back into her old home to find the place deserted. She was kind of sad to find her old buds gone, they had had so musch fun together. She shrugged then gazed around, finding a wolf carrying off Callie. She had always like the boy better so it didn't matter to her much. The cougar then furrowed her brows and sniffed. She could still smell Ty but it wasn't too new or old. The feline loped through the terra searching for Ty. She was going to take him with her. As she was searching she came across and old human camp and found a can of soup and some beans. She smiled and picked them up in her mouth knowing this was what humans ate. The minx kept searching for Ty hoping to find him...alive.

Ty

The young child was resting wearily against a fallen log. A 'nest' of dried moss and leaves were piled around him, in an effort to keep himself warm in the growing cold. Somehow, the boy managed to keep himself alive by forcing down some old current and bramble berries, and the occassional egg. But his face was terribly pale and gaunt, and his ribs stuck out harshly under his tattered clothing. He was very weak and cold, but still alive.

Jaden

The cougress was able to smell the youg boy and began to follow the scent. Jaden weaved through the bushes searching intently for Ty, who she truly did care about. The minx's nose was in the air and soon she stumbled across the little one's lair. The female stuck her head in to find the pale child resting, Jaden purred softly and gently nudged his houlder with her nose. The cougress watched him for a moment then set down the food she was glad she had found. Jaden then gently grabbed the underweight boy by the shirt and lifted him outof his 'nest'. She set him down on the ground before her and then took the can of soup in her jaws, crushing the top. She looked over at Ty then set the soup before him and layed down on her belly. The femme then spoke in a soft voice even though she knew he couldn't understand. "It's going to be okay now, eat child. Your cold I bet too, we will have to find you some clothes to wear that are more suffecient for winter." The cougress watched the young boy, concerned for his health. She moved around to where she was sitting beside him and wrapped herself around Ty trying to warm him up.

Ty

Ty's eyes grew wide at the sight of Jaden as his teeth were bared in a glistening smile. His fiercly dark orbs studied the can and quickly showed a great longing for the food he knew must be within it. Allowing himself to be moved about by the feline, the young boy kept his eyes on the precious food, his stomach aching for a bit of it. The scent of the food came to his starving senses as Jaden broke the can. Instantly, his hands went out and caught up the broken can. While one grimy hand held onto the can, the other dove in and out of the food, bringing handfulls of the stuff to his mouth.

As he bolted down the food, Ty's eyes flickered towards Jaden, listening to the noises she made. He relaxed a great deal when she shared her warmth with him. In little time, the boy had scooped out all the food from the can, and now set about licking his hands and fingers for the last bits of food still clinging to him. Very full and happily content, Ty rested his tired head againt the feline's side, murmuring something quietly before his eyes grew heavy with weariness.
