Rain, Fog and Mist

'''Season One, Episode one of Falling by YellowfangWC. Enjoy! The episodes will probably be short.'''

I wake up with the dream still livid in my mind. My lilac-point fur is soaked in water, and I can hear Mist and Fog wailing. My eyes snap open. The sky is belting out rain. I yelp, scrambling out of the way. Despite my name, Rain, I did not like getting wet.

"Mist!" I yell over the sound, "WHERE IS MOTHER?"

Mist looks back, shrugs, and turns to Fog.

"He says mother went hunting!" Mist told me.

"She left earlier!" Fog adds.

"Right," I mumbled, "So, what do we do?"

"Get in shelter?" Mist suggested, her light pelt drenched. I could see her shivering.

"Yeah, but where?" I ask, annoyed.

"Over here!" Fog calls from the shelter of a berry bush. We hurry over, wet and shivering, and huddle together. Fog's black fur seems to melt into the shadows, while Mist and I stand out like the moon in the sky.

"When will she come back?" my voice is quiet, scared. From Fog's point of view, she's been gone a while.

"I don't know," Fog whispers, "Soon, probably."

Mist nods in consent, pressing closer to me.

"But what if she doesn't come back?"

The question takes me by surprise, "I..."

Mist makes a sad sound, and I shudder.

''Mother. Please come back.''

"Rain?" Mist's voice cuts through my dreaming.

I look up sleepily 'What?" I yawn.

"You need to see this," Her voice is small and scared, fear and sadness washing it.

I sit up, my eyes widening.

"What is it?"

Mist shakes her head, and leads me out from our cover. Fog is staring dully out into the rain, his eyes cloudy and filled with pain. I gasp.

"What?" I ask, "What is happening?"

Fog turns back, his face somber, "Come and see."

So I do. And it changes my life forever.
