Mr. Buttons sat down on a patch of leaves and moss. "I might just sit here, in case I reopen the wound." He said. He watched the others play and felt a twinge of jealousy. It reminded him of his childhood. He was really playful, but didn't have any siblings, and living in a palace, he didn't have very many playmates. His mother did her best to make him happy, letting him have treats more often (which was how he got fat) or bringing him to daycare, but it wasn't enough. His father wanted him to be more kingly so he didn't need playmates to be happy, but that didn't work either. His mother eventually invited other kittens to come over and play. But eventually they grew up and moved away. The only true frien he had ever had was Lexi, a tiny tabby kitten.

Akurle smiled and, depite her injuries, jumped into to play with them. All the fear, dismay, sadness and darkness seemed to disappear around her. Even the forest didn't seem as creepy.

Akurle transformed into her python form, making it easier to dodge. She darted around their feet, laughing.
