"S..ou..lat…r..Col-"
Eyes shoot open. The young kit shoots up in bed and places a paw over their rapidly beating heart, trying to calm their breath.
They looked around once they calmed down and took in the unfamiliar room. It smelled..weird and stranger and they decided they didn't like it. Something pink crossed their vision and they looked at the bedside table to see a small stuffed animal with a blue button eye.
Seeing the stuffed animal filled them with a sense of longing and happiness and they quickly reached out and grasped it, pulling it to their chest and proceeding to cuddle it. They placed their nose into it and took a deep breath, taking in the comforting scent and feeling their body finally relax as they felt at peace.
Their ear twitched at the sound of the door opening and they looked up to spot a large figure coming in.
"Ah I see you are awake"
The figure was dressed in a gray dress. They had black hair in pigtails and a neutral expression as they started at the kit.
"How do you feel young one?" The adult said as she approached the kits bed holding a clipboard. The kit held the plush closer.
"I feel okey." He mumbled. The lady nodded and wrote something down, the scribbling echoing in the kits Ears
"Who areh yew pretty lady?" He asked. The pretty lady's eyes widened a tiny bit, a small smile appeared for a split second before her face went neutral once more.
"I am Monday child. I was the one looking after you while you slept. Speaking of," She turned to the kit.
"Do you remember anything?" The kit shook their head. Monday hummed
"We found you in the forest, child. The only thing you had next to you was that stuffed bear" the Kit tilted their head
"Wheur am i?" Monday turned to them.
"You are at the Grove, at the hospital. The grove is a safe space safe for kits and folk like you."
"Kit? Wuh tat?"
"That is you. You are a kit."
"Huh…neat!"
The kit hummed and kicked their legs, holding their plush out and starting to play with it. Monday, seeing they have no more questions, continued to write on the clipboard.
A few minutes passed before Monday spoke again.
"Do you know your name child?"
"Muh…name?" Monday nodded and the kit looked down, trying to think, but nothing came to mind
what was their name?
"If you don't remember, don't force yourself." Monday spoke up, interrupting their thoughts. The kit looked up and saw them writing away on that clipboard.
"Oh…okey" the kid looked down..seemingly disappointed that they couldn't remember their name. Monday stopped writing and glanced at them. She looked away before letting out a big sigh.
"How about we give you a new name?" The kit looked up and tilted their head
"New…name?" Monday nodded
"Yes a new name. At least until you remember your old one, we cannot keep calling you kit forever after all." The kid started to squirm. Cleared excited at the concept of a new name.
"Yeuh! A new name!" Monday let a small smile slip at the sight of the excited kit
"Yes. A new name is exciting isn't it? How about you pick your new name?"
"Me?? I pick?!" Monday nodded and the kid smiled wide.
"Wuh sheuld it be? Hmmm" the young kit thought hard about it. They wanted their new name to be awesome! As they sat in silence their mind went back to that vague dream. The word 'Col' echoing In their mind
For some reason that word resonated with them alot. They smiled and nodded.
"Cole!" The word burst from their mouth but Monday just stared unflinching.
"Cole? Is that the name you pick for yourself?" At the sigh of the eagerly Nodding kit, Monday nodded
"Okay welcome to the Den…Cole"
