Orange and black paws padded onto the front porch of their grey house. Cupcake's eyes found her one of her sisters, who was just walking around outside. What for, the she-cat couldn't fathom.

"Lily?" Cupcake's voice was gentle, a soft melody that carried concern. She preferred not to strain her voice, finding it uncomfortable to raise it in agitation. The calico molly creeped to the end of the porch but not any farther.

"What are you doing out here?" she asked with her voice dripping with apprehension. Outside was dangourus. Outside had dogs, bugs and...wild cats. Cupcake shivered and meowed again to Lily. "Don't you want to come back inside? It's warm" She hoped to coax her sister back to the comfort and security of their home.

"I wouldn't say I hate going outside.." she protested. She knew her statement had some truth in it. Cupcake enjoyed sunning herself and having a breath of fresh air, but she could always do that indoors from the window. "You might get hurt!" she proclaimed, throwing a wary glance over to the stray's direction. Cupcake always worries about Lily when she wants to throw herself at other cats. She couldn't understand her sister and her urge to do that. She'd much rather stay in her bed curled up with her tail over her nose.

"You don't wan't to go to the vet, do you?" That's another thing Cupcake feared. She feared the sharp metal object they poked into her, the bright light they shone down her throat. Just thinking about it makes her bristle.

Cupcake let out an exasperated sigh. Lily was just going to keep being stubborn, like always. The calico she-cat took a step back from the porch, very uneasy by the unwelcome vistor's presence. Cupcake had her pinned her ears to the side and her tail puffed up. If the stray attacked her sister, oh, she doesn't know what she'd do. She couldn't fight the cat, let alone by herself! What if it had fleas??

With a hiss that carried a mix of warning and fear, Cupcake addressed the brown tabby she-cat, her voice laced with tension. "Be careful!" she cautioned through clenched teeth, her gaze locked on the unfamiliar cat. "It might be vicious!"
