Cloud shook out her fur. "Yuck," she whispered. She puffed her fur up and a small gust of wind dried it. "Better!" The she-cat looked at the one who drenched her. "Do you have a problem with cats?" she hissed

"No, I have a problem with talking cats who sneak into my home" snarled Frost angrily. Hiding the shock at the cat whom she now realized was an elemental. Well, what could she expect? She glared again at Alyssa

"Animals can talk to other elementals. My good friend talks to me all the time! No biggie. Besides, sneaking is what us cats do." Cloud sat and washed her paw. I'm not convicing her, am I?

This news cut through Frost like a knife, animals could talk to elementals? She hadn't known that, she had never stopped to talk to a fish or a squirrel, she didn't even like to hunt them if she could help it, she normally ate fruit and veg whilst Bliz went off to catch her own meal. Other times she'd stayed away incase, Bliz tryed to hunt them when she didn't need food, out of insinct. Why couldn't she talk to Bliz? If any elemental other than a life, should be able to talk to animals it was her, she was half life, even if she was teqnichally a water.

...

Was there something wrong with Bliz? Come to think of it she had never heard the wolf make any noise, but had assumed that it was because of the absence of other wolves. But was it?

...

Shaking herself from these disturbing thoughts she glared at the 'cat', "Turn back" she demanded

Cloud stopped with her paw above her head. "Do what now?"

Frost rolled her eyes at the cat before an evil grin spread across her face. "Ok, well maybe I was wrong" she apologized. Before crouching down in front of the kitty, "but I heard in the city that there's a terrible over population of strays" she cooed, her voice sorrowful.

...

With a swift movement she grabbed the cat roughly by the scruff of the neck tugging her into the air to eye level, keeping her own body out of scratching range.

....

"Do you know what they said to do with strays?" She asked innocently, a cat sized bubble of water appearing before them.

...

The message was clear, change back or I'll drown you.

"They let us die. In the streets. Have you never been in a city?" She chuckled the last words before reaching her paws up and stabbing her claws into the human's arms. Cloud flung her back legs up and wrapped them around the arm. "I'm one of the smarter ones." She crawled her way accross the arm and down the human's back. "See ya!" She blew dirt and leaves over the den entance and bounded away into the forest, changing back to her human form at a large oak and taking her hat out of her pocket. She put it on and continued her walk to the meadow

Frost grinned, finally, something fun! With a snap, she turned into a falcon, a peregine, her favourite. She swiftly followed the small creature. A peregrine was the fastest creature alive, no cat could out run it. One of the smart ones? Frost wasn't so sure about that. If the 'cat' thought a bit of dirt would blind her she had another thing coming, with the magic that protected her eyes from water it protected from the dust. The bird silently followed it's prey, amused as it attempted to flee. She watched from a tree as it transformed and chuckled, turning into a human once more.

...

"One of the smart ones ayy?" she sneered from above, sitting in the tree. "Need to work on that little kitty" she jeered, sliding down a slide of water to stand on the ground, her water swirling once more

Cloud turned around and gasped as she saw the human. She howled and blew it towards her den. "What do you want from me?"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Dust Fern's eyes were open in a flash. Nobody could make a howl like that, even if she wasn't a wolf. The brown wolf stood and bounded out of the den and towards the forest to rescue her friend.

"I want to murder everyone who interupted my peaceful life today" stated Frost calmly, "I'm going to tell you that if you tell anyone where me and bliz are, I'll slice your neck open and drown you in your own blood" her eyes were cold, no sign of sympathy

...

A bit graphic she supposed but she was trying to prove a point.
