Chapter 2
Opalescence woke up and found himself in a forest. He walked around curiously; he saw lots of flowers and poisonous plants. Opalescence walked around to see if there was any prey that he could catch: as the run had explained, he was starving!
He looked around and saw mice, birds and squirrels, but he wanted something bigger, like... like a rabbit! He walked for a few hours looking for a rabbit. But then he saw one nibbling on a carrot, whatever the bunny was doing there, it looked delicious! He ran after the bunny to catch it, the bunny was fast but Opal didn't give up.
The bunny took him out of the Everfree forest and into a cottage that was on the edge of the Everfree forest. The strange bunny ran into the cottage and closed the door.
Opalescence gave a little meow and hissed. “YOU COME OUT RIGHT THIS INSTANT!”
The kitten’s voice was so squeaky that the bunny dared to come out. “Hey there, I’m Angel…what’s your name?” He said happily.
“I am Opal…escence.” He hissed.
“Well hi, Opalescence, nice to meet you.” The bunny giggled. “What were you doing in the Everfree forest? It’s no place for a kittypet like you!”
He snorted. “I’m no kittypet! I am a real forest-born cat!”
“Oh really?” The white bunny said. “Well then. I challenge YOU, to a wild cat run-out.” he snapped.
The cat was too exhausted for a race but his immature child blood told him to accept the challenge. “Hey yeah!” He meowed.
The wild cat run-out is usually for forest-born cats only, but the whole point was for the cat to catch it’s prey. The first one to catch something would be the winner. This race was a bit different because it was Opalescence against no cat, just him and a rabbit.
Angel burst off as fast as he could and Opalescence followed. It was harder for Opal, after running so far already. As he ran his heart was beating faster and faster. He could hear it roaring in his ears.
Opal was losing track of Angel. As Opal ran a brunch scratched his forehead and eye. Opal screamed in pain as he lost control and fainted.
*~*~*
Opal woke up in a room, and in a comfortable bed. Opal looked around and saw Angel.
“Hey pal, are you alright?” Angel asked.
“ALRIGHT? YOU THINK I’M ALRIGHT?” Opal screamed.
Angel looked at Opalescence’s scar and shook his head. “Seems like you aren’t a forest-born cat” Angel giggled.
Opal was so frustrated he was about to kill Angel. He doesn’t know what I went through, all of this pain and all of this loss, he did not know how exhausted and starved I was. Opal thought.
“Don’t worry. Fluttershy will be here in a few moments.” Angel said, smiling.
“Who-who is Flutter-“ Opal was about to ask, but he was still as he saw a yellow peguses coming into the room. She had blue-green eyes and pink hair, she was graceful and looked nice.
“Don’t worry little kitty, I will help you… Oh poor little kitty, it’s so good that Angel found you!” She wrapped a cloth around his eye and forehead. “There we go!” she softly said.
*~*~*
Fluttershy took care of Opalescence for a few months. The more time Opalescence spent with Fluttershy, the more she reminded him his sister. She was just like Serenity.
Opalescence didn’t have the appetite to eat bunnys, birds, mice and other meat anymore. Angel had given him the taste of the vegetarian life, and it was good! Opalescence and Angel became good friends, despite the fact that Opal had tried to eat him, and Fluttershy adopted Opal. They had lots of fun together, just like those times with his sister.
