CHAPTER #6

    Next morning, Jasper woke up bright and early. She headed towards the tree line and found some large logs and huge pieces of bark. She tried pushing one of the logs, but it was just too heavy. She went to ask Molly for some help. She had never been to Molly's hut before, and when she saw it she gasped. It was amazing! It was a HUGE treehouse with many levels and ramps leading up to them. She called up to Molly; "Hello? Molly, are you there?" she called.
   (Molly is the monkey Jasper met by the fire last night, and became friends with.) "Jasper is that you?" Molly yelled down.
    "Yes, hi Molly! Can you help me build a hut? By the way, your treehouse is awesome!" Jasper said.
    "Sure! Of course I can help!" Molly said.
Molly showed Jasper a good place to build her hut. It was a nice hill in a small clearing near a large tree, and together they moved the logs to the spot.
    Then they went back and got the bark. After a few hours it was all built. It was very pretty, it had a downstairs, with a nice moss floor. And then there was a ramp leading up to the upstairs. The upstairs had a wood floor, and a moss bed.

That's all for today. Sorry for the short post.

CHAPTER #5

    After a long nap, Jasper slowly opened her eyes to darkness. She stood up and faintly heard voices in the distance. She slowly walked toward the sound of the voices. "Is anyone there?" she shouted. No one answered. She thought she might be close to Emporia. Then she remembered the Summers End Party. Every year the animals would have a big party to celebrate the last few days of summer. She remembered how her and her mother would get so exited for for the Summers End Party; this would be her first party. She was born not long before last year's party. She thought of her mother, she missed her so dearly. She missed her father, too. She missed them both so much. All the memories dwelled in her head. Like the time her and her father went to catch fish in the river. There were so many fish! And then she remembered the time her mother and her found that big rabbit in the meadow and chased it. That was fun! All those memories will stay dear to her heart forever. But, it was time to move on now.
    She slowly walked closer and closer to the voices in the distance. And then she saw faint lights, glittering in the moon light. Then she heard loud whoops of joy and talking. She was running towards the sound but stopped herself when she came across a whole crowd of animals standing in front of a fire.
    "Hello?", she said loudly. None of them answered. " HELLO!?", she yelled. She looked up to see a whole crowd of faces staring at her.
    "Are you lost?", one animal said.
    "Its a leopard and she looks like the guardians daughter!", another animal said.
    "Who are you?", said a monkey.
    "I am Jasper, daughter of Mel and James, leopard guardians of Emporia.", she said politely.
    "Are you really? You mean the guardians who where killed by wolves?", exclaimed the monkey.
    "Yes," Jasper said sadly. "I have been trying to find the village for a few days now."
    "Come join us!" said the monkey. Jasper came and sat by the fire. "You must be hungry. Lucky for you, Raven over there is selling amazing fried slugs!" said the monkey.
    "Okay.." Jasper said. She walked over to a small stand that said 'Fried Slugs'.
    Then a koala popped up and asked, "Hello, what would you like?'
    "Fried slugs!" Jasper said.
    "Okay, how many would you like?" said Raven (the koala who owns the fried slug stand).
    "Five". Jasper said.
    "Okay, five it is." She handed Jasper some fried slugs wrapped up in a leaf.
    "Thank you." Jasper said, and walked off with the slugs is her mouth. She tried them, and they were delicious!
That's all for today! Sorry for not posting for a while.

CHAPTER #4

Next morning, Jasper woke up to a terrible pain in her throat and then she realized how thirsty she was! She hadn't drank anything since her escape from Thunder (remember the wolf alpha named Thunder?). She remembered her father and mother would take her down to the river to get a drink and catch fish. She remembered where it was....she thought. She walked toward the direction her and her parents did. And then she remembered the land marks she had come across. First was the up-rooted tree, and then the tree covered in reishi (the mushroom. It's pronounced ray-shee), and then there was the mossy rock. She walked until she saw the up-rooted tree, and then turned right. Then finally she saw the tree covered in reishi, luckily there were some young reishies that still had a white margin (young reishi that still have a white margin can be eaten, or used for medicinal purposes). She bit off a piece of the white margin and ate it. It wasn't the best thing in the world, but it was okay tasting. She kept walking and walking, and then ran. She was running very fast and couldn't stop herself when she came to the mossy rock! Her head hit first and then she fell over backwards. Luckily the moss was very thick, and protected her from damaging her skull and getting a concussion. Her head still hurt, but not that much. She sat down  for a bit. Then she got up and kept walking until she got to the river. Slowly, she stepped into the water and drank, and drank, and drank. She drank until she felt as if she would burst! Then she looked at her reflection in the water. She looked bigger and...older. Then she saw a fish. She swiped at it with her paw like her mother did, but just ended up splashing herself. She growled at her reflection and splashed it. She got out of the water and walked up stream. And then she got tired. She laid down and fell asleep in no time.

Chapter 3#

CHAPTER 3# 

Jasper was very disappointed about not catching the mouse, but luckily she still saw it. She crouched, and posed to strike again. She pounced and her paw landed on it's tail. It struggled but it could not get away. She bit it's neck and it died instantly. She was very proud of herself for catching it though it was the first thing she had ever caught, let alone killed! It wasn't much, but at least it would ease the hunger. She ate it and felt fairly satisfied. It did taste pretty good! After she ate it, she felt tired and fell asleep.
That is all for today, stay tuned for the next chapter.

Chapter #2

Chapter #2

Jasper didn't stop before she got to the forest, she just kept running and running, as fast as her little legs could muster! She kept running until she tripped on a root. She fell head first onto the cold, wet dirt. She didn't notice how cold she was until she got up and stood still. She sniffed the air, she smelled something she had never smelled before, it was the smell of winter. Winter was coming, and jasper was just a cub, alone, in the Whispering Forest, with no mother, no father, nothing to keep her warm during the long winter.  then a thought popped into her head, 'FOOD!' She was very hungry, and did not know how to catch her own food yet. She went deeper into the forest, and she saw a small mouse. She crouched, and slowly, very slowly, walked toward it. She posed to strike, and pounced. But the mouse got away right before she landed.
That's all for today! I will post the next chapter soon. Hope you liked it!

Chapter #1

Dialog Jasper

Jasper was just a cub when a terrible accident happened. Jasper's mother and father were the mighty defenders of the village of Emporia. One stormy night, Jasper, her mother, and her father were just heading into their den to go to sleep for the night when suddenly a pack of wolves attacked. There were just too many for her parents to handle and the wolves killed them. The alpha wolf, named Thunder, picked her up by the scruff (the skin on her neck), she struggled, and with a swipe of the paw, claws unsheathed, she ripped his eye clean out of the socket. He yelped and let go of her at once. She got up off the ground, and headed straight to the end of the clearing. Next chapter will be posted soon. Bye for now!
