She was gently placed into a heavy box full of a Two-Leg treat called candy cane. Suddenly, Mintykit frowned. Her mother was crying!<br/>"Stay safe, Little Minty. Stay in the box, okay," Snow said softly.<br/>Minty mewed frantically. "Where are you going? Mommy?!? Please don't leave me here."<br/>Snow sighed. "I have to, Lil' Minty. If I don't, the Two Legs will find you. I'll find you soon."<br/>Minty nodded, nestling in the little box, despite the tears that ran down her cheeks.<br/>Snowy dragged the box onto a truck that would deliver candy canes to all of the stores. "Good bye, my dear little Minty," she whispered, setting the box inside. Before Snow could get in another box, one of the Two-Legs spotted her and scared her away. Grunting, the man closed the truck doors, and pulled out of the factory doors.<br/>The tiny little tabby kitten bounced along as the truck drove through town after town. The driver continued to grumble about the snow, and the sour weather, as they drove near Snowclan's border. Suddenly, a large gale nearly swept the truck off of the road, and Minty's box of candy canes was thrown into the snow, with the tiny kit still inside. Whimpering, Mintykit landed in a draft of deep, pristine white snow. She mewed helplessly, wrapped in the red velvet that covered the candy canes. Licking one of the minty treats, she soon fell asleep in the deadly blizzard.
