Echo let out a hiss of frustration, tail lashing as she stalked through the terrain. She was absolutely ticked off, and had been for a while. Thea had left long ago, that she didn't care about. Let the brat wander. What hurt was Azzy's disappearance. Her sister, her guide, her lifeline was gone. Echo was almost certain she had been abandoned, why else had her sister not found her? Why else would she have heard nothing? All other times they had been separated, the longest they had ever gone apart was a little over a week. It had been moons now.

Everything was infuriating. She hated these plains with absolutely no tactile feedback, save a few unexpected dead tree roots that were ludicrous considering Echo had not been near trees in ages. She hated the snow with how it muffled all the sounds and numbed her paws. She hated the lack of prey in this terrible place. Everything sucked.

But then, something interesting. A warm scent of prey that enticed the starving molly. She immediately bounded after the scent - cursing as her paw struck yet another root - then paused, catbrows draw together in confusion. Another scent... a cat. One she hadn't met. "Who are you?" Her tone came out more demanding than intended, but she was a bit defensive around other cats, especially since she hadn't seen a fellow feline in ages. Who else could be stupid enough to try and survive in this nightmare-place? Her milky green eyes locked onto her best guess of where the other cat was (she always found eye contact made her more intimidating,) but knew she would get a better grasp of where the mystery cat was once they spoke.
