Aurora was stressing out, walking in circles. She had felt like she had been passing the same tree, (chances were she had been). This happened quite a lot but she had been hopelessly for hours, and it was getting really dark. the woods weren't so scary during the day but in the darkening twilight she was getting really nervous about what came out in the woods at night. She had been walking on a path trying to find her way home. it hadn't really dawned on her to pick a direction and go in that direction, since eventually she would have to reach a clearing. She wasn't that smart to think of doing that.
She was wearing one of her usual calf length dresses, in navy blue. It was sleeveless and she was thankful that she had actually remembered to bring a jacket. Hugging her jacket to herself she leaned against a tree. Maybe she shouldn't have wondered so far away from home by herself. Once in a while her husband would take a walk with her, which most of the time got on her nerves but at the moment she wished he was there since he would probably wouldn't have got lost, like she had.

Aurora wasn't the only one who was a little lost at the moment. Dinah had been wondering around this stupid Forrest now for a good two hours. The little black cat girl had gotten separated from the Cheshire Cat at some point, now she couldn't find him anywhere. She had tried following the river, thinking that it would eventually bring her into town or something. Then she had realized that there wasn't really much point going there, she doubted that it would be where Cas had gone. If anything she should be looking for magic rabbit holes.
It was getting dark now, she didn't much like the idea of spending a night in the woods on her own. So she kept on walking, being a cat she could see fairly well in the lack of light anyway, looking for Cas. "Well this is just perfect" She sighed to herself, though to anyone that didn't speak feline, all they would hear would be a soft whining meow. The little cat stopped walking, thinking that she had just heard a sound not far off. Looking around, her bright green eyes fell on a girl. A pretty dark haired girl who couldn't be all that old, probably in her teens or early twenties at most. So she gave another quiet meow, her way of saying hello.

Looking up she tried to see the sky but all she could see was the top of the trees. The only sky that was showing was a few patches that she could see through the leaves. Suddenly she was feeling really claustophobic. Living in a castle, she was used to open spaces. She was regretting going out into the forest even more now. Everything around her felt like it was closing in around her.
Aurora closed her eyes and knelt down, trying to calm down her breathing. She continued to try and calm down till she heard a small meow. Opening her eyes she saw a cat. She stood up and forgot about her hyperventialting. She was a very random person that could be doing one thing one second and something totally different the next. "Hi Kitty, are you lost too" she said kneeling down again.

Even with her cats-eyes, in the dark Dinah hadn't been able to see that Aurora was having some sort of panic- attack. To her it had just like she were kneeling down. She was happy that the girl payed her some attention though and gave another meow in answer. The little black cat then scuttled over tot he dark haired girl to rub against her leg, wanting to be fussed over. Well after all that time in wonderland where no one seemed to pay cats any attention she thought she deserved a bit of stroking and tickling. So this girl was lost, hmm? Dinah wondered where it was that she needed to get to. Town most probably. Well if Cas found them, maybe he could help lead her there or something. Dinah could probably do it herself if she could find the scent of someone from the town that would lead them there.

Aurora petted the kitty on her back, she wasn't completly sure if it was a him or her kitty but she took a guess that it was a she since it looked like a she kitty.
She was slowly starting to feel a little better, now that that the cat had showed up she didn't feel so alone and freaked out now. "I'm guessing your lost, I don't know if Kitty's can get lost but I'm going to guess that you are" she said feeling a little stupid about talking to an animal that she was guessing had no idea what she was talking about.
She scratched her behind her ears, "I wish I knew who you belonged to, or where you lived, so i could help you."

Dinah purred, walking around infront of Aurora, enjoying the fuss very much. But by the sound of it, this girl wanted to chat and in the for Dinah could do little more then make mewing noises for an answer. She turned tail and walked a few feet away from the other girl, then sat down and started to shift. Her black fur changed to white skin as her body changed from one of a cat to one of a human girl. A kind of perlish white that in some places seemed slightly green. Her hair was dark green in color and fell in soft waves to her lower back, matching her bright emerald eyes. Her attire had a kind of gypsy look to it, a simple black price of material tied around her chest with a matching skirt, both with small gold coins attached to the bottom. Around her head she wore a black bandanna and on her wrists and ankles she had gold chains with small bells attached to them. Though she was in a more human form, she still had the ears, paws and tail of a cat, though all of these features were now green, a few shades lighter then her hair.
"Yes I am lost" She told the girl, still sitting on the floor with her tail moving in snake like motions behind her. Well to Dinah it was normal for people to be able to switch from one thing to another, so she didn't even consider the fact that the other girl just might find it a bit strange.

Even though over the years she had seen some pretty weird things Aurora was still surprised when the cat started to turn into a person. she hadn't really been expecting that at all, that was certain.
She jumped to her feet really quickly and took a step back in shock. She watched her change, knowing that she had the deer in headlights shocked look plastered to her face.
When she had finished the change, she looked pretty much like human except for some of the cat features. When she mentioned that she too was lost, she felt her shoulder slump a little. For a monet she had kind of hoped that maybe she would have known how to get out of the woods so she could go home. "I take it you have no idea how to get out of the woods?" she asked, it was a really dumb question, she had just said that she was lost. If she was lost than there was a good chance that she was probably lost in the woods since that was where there were at.

Dinah shook her head, standing up. "No, but i just came from the river, i would think that would lead out if you walk upstream" She didn't know if that would help much, but it was a start right? But Dinah wasn't looking for the way out of the woods, she was looking for the Cheshire cat... or a magic rabbit hole, either one. "I don't suppose you have seen another black cat have you? He has ribbons on his neck and tail" She asked the other female, then remembered that Cas might be in his human form, so added: "Or a tall guy with really fair hair?" Well you never know, if this girl had been walking around the woods she might have seen him.

She nodded thoughtfully "I can see the river from my window, so maybe if I follow the river than I can find my home." In her head that sounded like the perfect plan but when she did find the river how was she going to know which way to go. those kind of thoughts usually didn't come to her mind right away.
Aurora shook her head "No I'm sorry I didn't see anybody else, not even a black cat. Did you lose your friend?" she asked.

Dinah smiled at the girl. "Well there you go then, is you're home close to the sea? Because downstream always comes out at the sea eventually" She was still pretty sure that town was upstream from here, closer to the midlands. She hadn't seen Cas? Dinah gave a soft sigh. Oh well. He couldn't really be that far off, could he? Well yes he could be anywhere, he could move ever so fast, but she still didn't think he would go to far and leave her. "Yes, I miss him" She told the other girl. "I don't think he will be to far off, I just can't pick up his scent"

Aurora nodded "Yes, I'm sure it is, so you know how to get there?" Now she was feeling a lot better. Wondering around didn't sound like much fun at all to her.
"Where did you last see him, maybe he would be close to there" She suggested trying to helpful. If she was going to help her find her way home the least she could do was help her find her friend.

Dinah nodded her head. Yes she knew how to get to the river. She had just come from there, ass she had to do was follow her own scent back again. "This way" She said, turning and walking in the direction of the river again. "It was back near the candy house he took me to, I got lost following him back to the rabbit hole. But it wasn't far from here, so i would think he's still around in the woods." At least she hoped so. She had only just met Cas really but she was feeling sad without him.

A bright smile lit up her face, Yes, she was going to get home before it got all dark....well at least she hoped. Aurora had been warned there were bad things in the woods at night, and the last time she had got stuck out there had been anything but extremly stressful.
She followed behind her, taking extra care to look around her and memorize some of the landmarks. She really liked this part of the woods and planned on coming back. "Wow this place is so much more intresting than home" She commented.
"Well I hope you or we find him" She said with a small smile. That would be sad to lose someone, she had never had it happen but she could tell my how sad the kitty lady was it must be depressing.

"Where do you live?" Dinah asked, looking back over at the girl. She was just curious really, wondering where it could be that made a woods look interesting. Maybe she just didn't stray far from home much. "I'm Dinah by the way" She told the other girl, realizing that she hadn't introduced herself. In actual fact her name was not Dinah, it was Cleo but she had used Dinah as her name ever since Alice disappeared, that was what Alice had called her and she missed the girl a lot all that time she was gone.
She nodded her head, also hoping that she would find Cas. "He can't be far" She said quietly, more to herself then to Aurora.

"In a castle, it's not very intresting there, theres nothing to see except the river and trees." She explained briefly hoping she answered her question. "That's an intresting name" She commented meaning it in the nicest way possible. "I'm Aurora." She said brightly with a smile.
"What was that?" She asked out loud, not realizing that Dinah was more talking to herself than her.
