About a moon has passed since Sparkface was trapped in the Twoleg place. As the time passed, the Twolegs had removed the cone—or what Sparkface thought as the chamber. Even her side still was hurt but Sparkface pressed on.

She had realized the Twolegs were not as bad as they had seemed. Sparkface had found comfort with going up to the Twolegs, purring, rubbing against their legs. They bent down to stroke her sides with their big, hairless paws. At first, the texture was rough, but she had grown to enjoy the touch of their strange paws.

As the trust built between the Twolegs and Sparkface, the Twolegs had made the decision to take their pet ferret out hoping she wouldn't attack it immediately. And the second the Twolegs left the room, Sparkface cautiously padded up to the pitch black ferret and sniffed it; the ferret stood up on its hind legs.

"The name's Shadow," the ferret spat, putting its small paw on its chest. "What's yours?"

Sparkface could not find the words to actually comprehend that this ferret was talking. She had vague images of an animal talking to her but she couldn't believe it was a ferret. "U-uh," The green eyed she-cat stuttered trying to shut herself up but couldn't.

"You remember me right?" Shadow asked his black eyes clouded with emotion. "Oh, that's right! You barely could stand up straight," The ferret chuckled softly, landing back on his four paws.

"Y-you were the one talking to me?" Sparkface said shyly. "Oh! My name is Sparkface." She said realizing she was being rude going up closer to him her teeth unintentionally showing.

Right before Shadow could reply the Twoleg quickly snatched up Shadow. Sparkface fluttered her green eyes wide as she looked up at the Twoleg and Shadow. Shadow put his paws on the Twoleg's and made some weird chirping noises.

The Twoleg laughed a bit and once more set down Shadow letting Sparkface sniff him once more.

The creamy tabby took a step back and sat down on her four paws. "So, do you know when I'm able to leave this place?" She asked her eyes hopeful and her tone longing.

"Once you are fully healed, I'm sure the humans will let you out," Shadow replied climbing on Sparkface's back. "The sooner the Twolegs think you're healed the sooner you can go out, so I say just act like you're healthy," The pitch black ferret advised leaping off of the tabby she-cat's back, going to his large cage.
