She sighed relieved that her only friend on this be dyoned planet got her wish, her only wish. Jenna sighed ruefully, but she didn't have any regrets, not a single one, in truth, she had come here with little more hope then she had started out with, yes, she would try to be Found, but not here, it didn't seem right, so instead she would wait, either for another Cat's litter. But she didn't think her's would be here, just like at the Cliffs... " Congratulations!" She didn't call out Aliena's name, unknowing if her friend was given another, instead that would do for now, but at the same time, it would never do. Then almost instantly she bit her lip and something almost literally ran across her mind, not a memory, not exactly a memory, but not just a face, of course, it would never be just a face...

Voices...
" What's that? "
" Poor thing..."
" Half Starved."
Thoughts now, like a knife, taken deep.
The Wolf! No, Not a wolf, What is it?
And there's a 'Cat, Yes, I know about them, too.
That's... a Sand Lizard, No a Sand Dragon.
I see them flying over my head, They're... H-a-w-k-s?
But I know what that is, It's a burrow... for... Rabbits, No.. Hares.
Pictures, images now fell into place, Faded, Old, Like Photographs...
" Why's it so dark?" The shadows again, always shadows.
" For our protection." Said another shadow... always the same answer.
" Why here though? Others live with their Foun--"
" Are you trying to get us killed?! Hold your tongue and spare us your notions."

She blinked, coming out of it, making no sense of it. Was that a memory? Was that what memories were? Nonsense? Cluttered pictures, places, things? She shrugged, and silently left the Den, shaken... And her praise, her Congratulations, still rang, echoing down the dimly lit corridoors.

(( This was posted early in the morning when my thoughts make no sense, :p ))
