The small cat-like creature walked through the forest, following one of the many animal paths that ran through the brush and trees. It was a beautiful day for a walk through the serene forest. She could take her time, think things through. Like what was wrong for her. Whenever she fell for someone, and when she meant fell, she meant fell hard. She had thought she had been in love three times so far, she even remembered their names. First was Tempest, the sweetest common kuhna she had ever meant. The second was Firework, who was protective, caring and oh so attractive. Both had lost contact with her, no matter how many times she wrote or called, she never got an answer. She sighed.
Tears fell down her face at the thoughts of her previous love affairs. She had started out afraid of guys, now she was desperate for their company. She paused, taking a breath of the clean, unpolluted forest air. It was sweet, like the flowers that adorned the trees. It reminded her of walks through the park in spring-time with Firework. She took another breath. But, wait, that wasn't a flower. She sniffed; then opened her mouth to taste the air. She breathed deeply. Was that a fire she smelled?
Her bright green eyes surveyed the area. The dense vegetation was hard to see through, she couldn't see any smoke. The canopy above her prevented a visual above. She sighed, sniffing the air again. She would have to follow the scent. But what if the scent led her off the path? She didn't want to get lost out here in the wild, alone as she was. She sighed again, but someone was in trouble! She had to help. She shook herself from her emotional depression and finally made her decision. She sniffed the air one more time, then stepped off the path. The leaves were crunchy under her feet and the twigs and rocks hurt her feet. She winced, but dealt with it anyway. She hurried through the forest, stopping every now and then to sample the air.
Suddenly a voice called out through through the air. "Help!" it said. "Someone help me!" The kuhna kept going, she was getting closer to the source of the fire smell! She paused again, listening, smelling. She turned and behind a rather large tree was a small hut that was caught on fire. The small cat-like creature sped up, now knowing her destination. The fire hadn't reached the front door yet, so she pushed it aside gently with her nose. The smoke assaulted her, making her cough. "H-hello?" she said. "Where are you?" The smoked continued to come after her as she squinted, trying to find the one who was trapped inside. She took a hesitant step forward and the floor creaked beneath her weight. She needed to find the other one and get out as quick as she could!
