Prompt: Lion

Missing

Sometimes, late at night, she could still hear his roar.

It wasn't really scary… well, maybe just a little. Occasionally she remembered that time when he frightened her. But mostly she heard it when she dreamt of that time he saved her.

That's why she wanted to be just like him. Maybe she couldn't be furry, but she could be brave… and strong, when she got bigger. And though she only growled now, she would roar like him too. Because… if she acted like him, maybe he'd come back.

Because even though he looked scary, she wanted her kitty back.
