A young girl sat on a park bench, her glare of concentration aimed into the bush in front of her. Three pairs of green eyes stared back at her from the bushes, wide with curiosity. Beside her, a small, dirty-looking calico cat, one of the many strays Oriana had befriended, sat pressing against her. The small cat meowed and pushed its dirty nose into Oriana's side, taking the girls attention away from the three kittens hiding in the bushes.
"Aw, Boo, ya got three pretty sweeties." Oriana said, forgetting to watch her southern accent. She petted the cat for a little while, then got off the bench and went down on her hands and knees as she approached the kittens. Two of them hissed at her, bristling in an attempt to scare her away, much to her amusement. The third one, a small white kitten, padded forward, walking past her as if she didn't exist, and hopped onto the bench to sit beside its mother. Laughing, Oriana reached out a hand for the kitten to sniff, and then gave a slight jump as the kitten gave her a playful swipe with its paw, claws unsheathed.
She was sitting on the floor in the middle of the walking path, checking her finger for a scratch, when both mom-cat and kitten decided it was time to leave and darted off and out of sight.
She watched them go and then looked back at her finger only to see blood welling up through a small cut.
"Dang." she muttered, rubbing the blood away on her coat sleeve only to find more seeping out seconds later. "Little rascal." she couldn't help but give a wan smile. At least it hadn't meant to scratch her.
She completely forgot she was still sitting in the middle of the path as she tried to think up a name for the little white kitten. She was spacing out as usual.
