"Er, I'm Thunder," Thunder told Paxton as he got up. "Sorry for running into you," he added with a grunt. "What are you doing here? There haven't been other cats around here for, well, as long as I can remember!" he asked the cat. Thunder's mind was swirling with questions. What does this guy want? Why is he here? Does he intend to hurt us? How long has he been here? What will Amara think when she finds out about this? Thunder decided that he would ask Paxton these questions later. It's not like there was any way off this island. Suddenly, his mother burst through the bushes. Oh, great, he thought.

"Nice to meet you, Paxton. Sorry we ran into you. We haven't seen other cats here in ages. I'm Aster," Aster said just before he heard his mother from behind. Great, we're caught he thought in frustration.

"Nice to meet you-" Paxton was cut short by the loud voice of a she-cat. Not directly answering her question of "are we crazy,' he said, "Well, a lot of cats, including myself, were put into metal boxes. When we were in the metal boxes, we were put on a monster that traveled on water. After being on there for awhile, we were thrown off of it and into the ocean. Some of us managed to escape, and then we ended up here." He took a deep breath before asking, "Now how come you are all here?" He felt like he could trust these cats, even though he didn't really know them.

Aster listened closely to Paxton's story of how he, and apparently several others, arrived on the island. After listening to his story, he couldn't help but sympathize. That must have been rough, getting snatched up and taken away from everything that was familiar to them. "Wow. That sounds really awful. I'm sorry to hear what happened," he said before getting into the details about how he, his brother, and his mother got on the island. "There were actually several more of us living on this island moons and moons ago, as my mother told me. But, some big predator came and killed a lot of us off. I was not quite born yet when this happened," he explained. ( Shortee)

Thunder listened to the story of how Paxton arrived here and Aster's explanation of why they were there. "Wait, you said there were more cats with you. Where are they? Why are you out here in the jungle all by yourself?" he asked Paxton. How will Amara treat these newcomers? Paxton seems trustworthy enough, but there's really no telling, he thought.

"Two other cats, Orion and Blade, came with me to grab materials to make nests with. Three others went to look for shelter. I accidentally went a bit too far into the jungle, I guess." The slightest hint of embarrassment was in his voice. Being tired and a bit disoriented, he didn't even think twice about telling them what they were doing.

Aster nodded, quickly becoming very curious and eager to meet all the newcomers. "Our mother always tells us to never come into the jungle without her, especially at night. Of course, that hasn't stopped us," he told Paxton. He looked at Thunder. "What should we do?" He asked his brother. ( Shortee, Catsquid)

Orion crouched low to the ground, gaze fixed on a rather plump sparrow. What the small bird was doing out so late, he didn't have the slightest clue. Perhaps it was late to dinner, considering it seemed to be searching for worms. Whatever the reason, he was confident that the bird would regret it. A quick pounce and swift blow to the neck was all it took to kill the bird. He picked up the limp body and scanned his surroundings. He had traveled a fairly great distance into the forest. He couldn't help but wonder what lurked in the more inner parts of the island. His mind wandered through the possibilities. However, his more rational side won the fight this time. There was no way he was going to blindly wander into the deeper parts of the island. Not yet, anyway.

Amara|4 Years|She-cat|Native Amara listened to the newcomer's story, still unsure how to feel about these new cats... It had been a while since she had seen anyone other than her two kittens. She decided to trust them, for now... there was no telling what these cats true motives were. If they turn on us it's better safe than sorry. We probably shouldn't show them the shack until we know we can trust them. "Are you all just staying out on the beach? With how tired you all must be I doubt you could make it back to our place." That was only half a lie, the beach wasn't too far off, but it was so dark and there was enough vegetation to make the trek difficult. Amara flicked her tail, hoping Aster and Thunder would understand her lie and continue it.

Although Amara was trying to hint at Aster that he shouldn't tell them where they lived, he misunderstood the message. "You mean you want to take him back to our hut? That sounds like a wonderful idea!" he said with his voice full of enthusiasm. He probably said that a bit louder than he should have, given that they were in the woods filled with predators, but he just couldn't contain himself. After all, who wouldn't be excited to bring someone back to the shack with them? It had been sooooo long since they had seen any other cats here, besides the big ones of course. It just seemed like the perfect idea to Aster. He didn't even think about the dangers that might come of it, if these newcomers weren't as friendly as they appeared to be.

Paxton thought for a moment. He didn't want to leave the other cats he found, but these natives could be helpful. "I would love to come with you," he mewed, "but someone should know where I'm going. I don't want them to worry."
Sorrel looked around the beach and eventually found a pile of rocks with an opening underneath. She knew this would be a good spot, as most of them would be able to fit in it. She headed back to the original place they started at, wanting to tell them immediately what she found.

Amara|4 Years|She-cat|Native She flicked her tail, "It's late and our home is pretty far.. You should stay on the beach with your friends, we don't want to trouble you." Amara gave and hiss under her breath and looked to Thunder, hoping he would have a better excuse not to let random cats into their home.

Domino was looking around the beach for a place to sleep. He wasn't used to sleeping out in the open like this, so it would be difficult to get comfortable. Then, he saw Sorrel coming back toward them. "Hey, Sorrel. Did you find a place to sleep?" he asked, yawning. ( Shortee)

Sorrel smiled when she saw Domino, still full of energy. "Yup! It's a rock pile with an opening underneath. It'll fit most of us."
Paxton gave a small nod. "Well... I guess I'll just go back. We're going to need help getting used to this place, though." He trailed off, a far away look in his eyes.

"I'm sure my mother would be up for showing you some tips and tricks on how to survive out here. I would be happy to help as well," Aster meowed to Paxton. He honestly really wished that Paxton would stay with them. "I really wish you would stay with us. Our home is pretty safe. Been there for quite a while," he added in. He really hoped Paxton would cave and give in to his pleads about staying with them in their home. Maybe if Paxton agreed, Amara would be more willing to allow him to. "Great. Should we get the others? I bet most of them are ready to crash for the night. It's been one crazy day," Domino said. ( Shortee)
