[Grr! I had this entire thing typed out and then my laptop died!]

Winter was a terribly beautiful season. Never ending drifts of snow that can cover entrances and exits, trapping innocent animals in their homes. There's howling winds that turn snow into needles, scratching any being stupid enough to be outside. Blizzards, which can turn a perfect day into a nightmare in a matter of minutes. Bitter cold which can sap your strength directly out of your soul. It's a mystery why some beings, even Twolegs, enjoy such a deadly season.

Well, this mystery isn't really a mystery at all. Just take a look outside when the wind's not blowing, when the snow isn't falling quite as fast, and when the sun is at it's highest. The landscape is turned into a winter wonderland, filled with snow laden cabins, sparkling pine trees and glittering snow slopes. The world is turned from a dark, evil place to a world of white, beauty.

Jester considered winter just like that. A mistress with a deadly beauty. Soft and gentle on the top, but harboring an evilness underneath. He found the beauty of winter amazing, even as a tiny cub. This was why he was outside, despite his terrible hatred of cold. "Snowflakes, Snowflakes, everywhere is snowflakes!" He sang softly, prancing up and down the courtyard of Thunder Castle.

The castle was another thing the cub found fascinating. The towering spires softened with white snow, or the flush of warmth that seemed to spew from all the windows and doors. It was just... perfect

The voices of his siblings made his round ears raise in interest. He hadn't talked to them in awhile, he had been too busy wandering around the castle and outside in the courtyard. They had recently been given free rein since they turned four moons. Two more moons and they could become Baronets!

"Hey!" Jester said, scrambling downhill towards the log cabins where his siblings were. "Whatcha dooooing?"

Jester had been exploring the outer reaches of the cabins (farther than what he was told too), when he heard the distant voice of his brother, Magazines. "Mags!" he said, flinging himself at his brother, his orange striped tiger pelt covered in a thin layer of snow.

Winter was harsh, evil to be exact. The winds were blasting away outside, snow drifting against the doors and windows. It was too dangerous to be outside, that's why the tiger cub was inside, running about the castle and causing havoc everywhere he turned. "Catch me if you can!" he would yell over his shoulder after he bumped into you. His giggles could be heard echoing around the castle as he shot around corners, tripping anyone in his way.

"You, can't, catch, me!" he sang, skipping past the doctors room and into the dining hall. The soft crackle of the fireplace made him stop and he stared at the warm glow for a few seconds before taking off under the archway and into another room. This one was a sleeping area, filled with a huge old two-leg double bed, a mirror, nightstand and a chair. There was also a fireplace in the left corner.

Jester had never been in here and his pawsteps slowed as he took in his new surroundings. The bengal tiptoed over to the empty fireplace and sticked his head inside. "HELLO?" He yelled into it, rolling onto his back and laughing as he heard his voice echoing back to him from the chimney.

He was still on his back when he noticed the slit of blackness behind the bed post and as he rolled onto his belly and cocked his head to the side, he noticed the soft breeze that was billowing out from it. Being as bright as he was, realized there was probably another room back there. So, Jester shimmied forward on his belly until his shoulder was up against the post. "Hello?" he whispered in a tiny voice. There was no reply.

The bengal braced himself against the post and pushed back until the entire hole was reviled. It was high enough and wide enough for two of him to go in at the same time. The Tiger poked his head in, his eyes widening and his pupils dilating as they grew accustomed to the darkness. "Woah..."

The hole his head was through was between two pieces of stone supports, the wooden paneling had been broken, and the piece that had broken lay a few inches away, in perfect condition it looked like. The room was about twenty feet by sixteen, a perfect square. The majority of the room was blocked by a piece of furniture that covered up the majority of the hole, but it looked like there were other objects in the room as well.

With a grunt, Jester pushed his way all the way in, gasping and panting as he had to squeeze himself under the piece of furniture, which turned out to be a sofa. The room was tall, about thirty feet straight up. This must have been inside one of the smaller spires near the edge of the courtyard! "Holy!"

The room had only two pieces of furniture in it, a sofa, which was over the hole, and a huge, tweleve foot tall bookshelf. Two, Two foot wide pillars of stone bricks shot straight up into darkness. But the most exciting thing was the different levels the pillars held up. Every ten feet, there seemed to be another level with a floor of stone. A circular hole about 10 feet across took up the very center of the upper floor, creating a window straight up to the point of the spire. "Two more floors..." The Tiger breathed before gulping and quickly squeezing out of his new secret room.

"Gotta get some help!" He said to himself.

Jester almost blew right past the snow leopard. His claws skidded against the floor and he almost lost his footing and went tumbling head over tail into the head count. "N-nothing, Nefarious..." he said, lowering his eyes so not to make eye contact.

The tiger cub had this thing with authority, he was very scared of them, always thinking he would be the one to get busted for something. Especially with the newly promoted Head Count. His entire family seemed to be this 'prestige' rank and it made Jester nervous, as if he couldn't quite compare. "Just looking around..."

It's not like he was keeping a secret, okay, well maybe he was. But it was his room. He found it, and he wanted to share it with the other Cubs before anyone else. But maybe Nefarious could help him, if he could fit through the hole.

Jester hesitated, paw half raised in taking another step. "Um..."

The arrival of the thin tom made the Tiger shrink a few steps back into the room. He hadn't seen this one very much, just once or twice whenever he was out of the nursery. Nothing about him scared the young tiger, he actually thought he was really nice, but he was just trying to block the entrance into the bedroom.

"Ahum..." The tiger hesitated, before bowing his head. "I found this room... back there, and I thought maybe I could make it a place for the kits..."

Jester took another step back at the arrival of yet another snow leopard. He didn't know this one very well, and it made him a little nervous. Each one had a very bright look of adventure in their eyes and it made the young Tiger's jealousy spike. This was his! His place! HE found it, not them! They just got in the way. The bengal leapt back and stood in front of the bed post, his body blocking the entrance. "It's mine!" he said, his eyes still downcast for fear of angering the two leopards.

But he did need help moving that shelf. If they could tip it, they would have a staircase going up to the second tier. Maybe there would be stuff up there, like a pile of food, or maybe some twoleg clothes, or, better yet, another entrance into another secret room!

"THe hole's to small for you anyways." he said, lifting his head up defiantly, avoiding the gaze of the head count in particular.

The words of the skinny tom made Jester relax. He looked at (Ballad? Yeah, that was it.) Ballad, a tiny, grateful smile fixed on his face. This smile was quickly shattered off his face as Nefarious started talking again. Each word stung the tiny Tiger and with each word he shrunk back a little more until his shoulders were scrunched up by his neck and his ears were flat against his head.

Immaturity was a cub's best friend, was it not? He was only four moons old, what else was he supposed to do to entertain himself! Especially when his brothers wanted nothing to do with him and his mother and father were nowhere to be found.

Then the leader came. There had been a rumor about her, among his siblings, that she could kill a crow just by looking at it, and the look she gave Jester certainly came close. "B-but...." He stopped himself and dropped his eyes, his tail dropping in defeat. "There was probably a d-door here. So y-you can break it open m-more."

The cub's voice faulted with each step he took away from the hole. Even though he had only been in the room briefly, he already felt like he owned it. But that stupid Count had to ruin it. Jester glanced at the snow leopard with a quick flash of anger, before focusing on the floor again.

The sound of laughter echoed up from the log cabins below the castle, and seconds later, a ball of orange and black fur exploded over the hill, an ice covered stick clambered in it's jaws. The young tiger skidded to a stop in front of the group. He tried to drop the stick, and the stick rolled down his tongue before the ice froze onto his tongue.

Jester stopped, eyes wide and crossed as he tried to see what was causing the puling sensation by his tongue. "ahhts goblin on." he said until the heat of his breath melted the ice and dropped the stick back into the snow. The cub shook his eyes and kicked the stick away in frustration.

"What are you guys doin'?" he said, skipping closer to the several, totally unaware of the tension in the air.

Jester heard the shouts and squeals of laughter so he picked himself out of the snow drift he was in and raced down the hill. He always wanted to have fun, but when people were having fun without him? Oh no, that was not okay! "AHHH!"

The tiger's front paws sunk into the snow and he flipped head over tail. He rolled a few feet down the slope until he was sliding down the snow on his back, his tail tucked up around his head. Looking through his legs, Jester noticed two other cats standing in his path. "LOOK OUT!" he yelled, as he came in closer and closer.

Hey Nef, do you know how little Jester is scared of you and now angry at you for yelling at him about the secret place, I want to make a thread with the two of them. If your still open to one.

The arrival of the small snow leopard sparked Jester's attention. He was about to speak to him until he caught the way he clung to Nefarious' side. The tiger cub may be immature, but he wasn't stupid and he knew the Head Count had cubs. Hmph, he thought, turning away from the cub.

Then the cub's father spoke and Jester had to turn back to him. "Okay." was all he said, his anger dissipating a little.

Jester skidded a few more feet until his back legs caught and he flipped onto his stomach, landing with a thud and sinking a few inches into the snow. "Owww ow ow ow." the tiger said, jumping to his feet and hopping around until finally dropping down into a more fluffy snow bank next to Nefarious. "That was awesome!"

After hobbling back in after the snowball fight outside, Jester found himself alone in the entrance corridor. Glad to finally be alone, the cub hauled himself over to the crackling fire, flopping onto his stomach, waiting for the warmth to seep through his skin.

Despite his breed, Jester found winter to be mesmerizing and fun. It made his fur sobbing wet and it made him smell funny, but it was still so much fun. Snowclump fights, backsliding, molding snow into shapes, just playing around! "Ahhhhh." He sighed, breathing in the scent of burning logs and wet tiger.

Perfect end of the day. Peace and quiet.

The cub glanced up and frowned before clumping a pile of snow in his paw and launching at the Head Count. "Catch me if you can!" The tiger jumped to his paws and shot away, his tail streaming behind him.

"Great."

Obviously he couldn't have comfort and silence at the same time, there had to be something else in the way. Oh, of course it had to be the Head Count because nothing would make Jester happier than alone time with the snow leopard. Just... Wonderful.

Jester shimmied a few inches away from the arm chair Nefarious resided, his pelt tingled as he closed the distance between him and the fire, but the melting snow on his pelt was good enough to keep him rooted.

Jester couldn't help a fresh wave of excitement from washing over him. He had a secret room! He was king too! Now maybe he could get to see the other two levels too! "We can move this thing a little and then see if we can't make the hole bigger." The little tiger cub pawed the post by the hole and then stuff his nose into the hole, remembering the sofa blocking the entrance. "But there's one of those long chair things blocking the hole in there."

Jester frowned and glanced at the other male before turning so his chest was to the fire. The tiger groaned and flopped onto his back. "Oh, just what I wanted to talk about." Anything but this, oh god anything but this.

The cub squeezed past the Snow leopard and made his way through the hole into the inside of the spire-room. Once only the other side, Jester turned to look back at the wall and frowned. "Can you try and... like... break down some of the wall? It looks like they just put some wood over an open archy-thingy."

The tiger scooted back a few feet until his back was pressed up against the moved chair thing... er... couch as Nefarious called it. Know it all, he thought.

The tiger cub leaned his head back so he was looking up at Nefarious. "Yeah, but your position and your pride sure is." he muttered before turning back to the fire and giving us a deep sigh. I'm a Head Count, everyone loves me, I'm famous so you have to love me, Jester thought his lips forming imaginary words, mocking Nefarious.
