Chapter 1: A New Face
Tiger crept through the broken fence. The sun was just peeking over the trees, warming his gray, black, and white fur. He was hungry and his belly was empty. He was searching for his breakfast. He lifted his nose... Mouse. Then he saw it, a fat field mouse nibbling on a piece of grass. He carefully laid his belly to the ground and stalked towards it. He crawled closer and pounced as its ear shot up. A clean kill, would be easy to carry back. He picked up breakfast and ran through the woods in search of his den. If he ran fast enough he could make it back safely without crossing into any other territories. As he rounded the last corner of the fence, he ran straight into a little cat. His first reaction to this situation would be to face the cat and attack. Except this cat was shaking and bleeding.
Looking closer Tiger realized an awful picture. The cat's blazing orange pelt was matted, a long scratch down his back was bleeding heavily, and his tail was shredded. The young cat looked no bigger than a kitten and his brown eyes were full of shame and failure. He was crouched down with his shredded tail between his legs. The young tom was a look of pity. Tiger couldn't help but have sympathy on the tom. Without a word Tiger picked up the small tom by his scruff and started for home. He went home that day without his breakfast.
