Hawk spent the whole night in tears inside a small apartment. He was worried for himself and Caramelo. It was a tough night for our furry friend.
But Joy came in the morning. Our HawkCat was still asleep when he heard a few meows dying away. Hawk jumped in excitement; It was Caramelo! He could tell! But how could he help his brother? The meows seemed from so far away. Saving Caramelo was an impossible mission for him.
Suddenly, the humans who had rescued Hawk woke up and walked quickly downstairs.
Was it possible that they also heard Caramelo's cry? If so, is this human couple good enough to come for his brother? Are they safe, after all? Hawk did not have an answer to any of these questions.
The human lady decided to stay with Hawk while her husband searched for the yellow cat. Hopefully, they would find him this time.
She wanted to hold our tiny Hawk in her hands to calm him down. However, Hawk's fear made him look like a dangerous little tiger. Hawk was not so friendly to be cuddled yet, so she embraced him in a towel, holding him firmly while assuring him they would find his brother. That was probably the first time Hawk saw love in the eyes of a human. It seems he calmed down a bit. It is never easy to fit into the minds of small cats in such situations.
Caramelo was in the bush, too afraid to come near anyone. However, something changed when he heard friendly meows coming from the other side. Could this be? Perhaps it was Mom? He walked closer.
Caramelo was astonished by what he saw. It was not a cat's meow but a human! He could never suspect humans could talk like cats.
Nevertheless, just when Caramelo thought of running away, the human bent down, looking not so frightening anymore. Caramelo walked closer, more curious than frightened at this point. The bush was much higher than him, and gaviões were still around when Caramelo felt he had been caught, fortunately for him, not by hawks.
Smiles filled the house when our small lion entered the door in his new owner's hand. The couple was overflowing with happiness, and Hawk could not believe his brother was just beside him again.
Still, the relief of being away from imminent danger gave room for a new type of fear in the hearts of our little brothers. They were in a strange place and simply did not know what to expect from that time on. Anyway, it was a stressful day. Therefore, the two cats comfortably embraced each other and fell asleep.

“Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness".
