New Clans, New Journeys-Book 1: Seven Whiskers

by forest-winds

Ah, Ashley and her family always thought the colony of cats were creepy. They always chanted "Bum bum!" When one of the family members were on the porch. Ashley turns into a cat. Follow her story as she has to sacrifice her family knowing her, and many more. The cats, known as The Creeps, just want to make a clan. They will let her live if she gives one thing: Seven whiskers.

I followed Dad outside. The cats here were creeping me out, all but my house cats and our cats outside. But we trained the outside cats to like the indoor cats, and now they were in the house. The freaky "Bum bum." began. I shivered. The cats surrounded us, all but the entrance. We hurried inside, locking the door. We doubled secured the house. The cats didn't kill anybody, but sure was mean. We all slept together, in mum's room. I was wept into a dream.

"Ashley..." A cat began. "Do something. Write a note that your turning into a cat. Pretend." Her blue pelt moved to shove paper towards me, and a pen. I wrote:

"Dear mum and dad, I have turned into something abnormal, a cat. Please understand." I thought about it. They would give a worried laugh, then kill all cats in the group. Maybe. "I know you might laugh, but it's true. I may go see why all these cats are here. They may just like us."

I was wept out of the dream.

I looked around. Pelts made a barrier, and I knew something the minute the tom came here.

I would have to sacrifice something for my life.
