Okay, okay, so yell at me for this being such a short little piece. But I felt it was necessary to have a prologue, and I tried to make it longer, I really did, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right? Anyway, so apologies on that, the chapters in the future will be much, much longer, and that is a promise I am going to keep!
Okay so guys, I'm really wanting to know what you think about this. I'm really pumped for this one, and I can tell it really just has great potential. I've planned this through carefully (Well, sort of) and I can only hope you guys will enjoy it, hopefully.
So yeah! That's all I really have to say, enjoy!
The elegant she-cat curled up on a rough piece of stone, squirming uncomfortably as she tried to adjust her position to be more satisfactory. She didn't like having to sleep on the harsh Upwalker material, it dug into her stomach and was either too cold at night, or searing hot in the day.
But this was the only place that was safe, so she accepted it and curled herself up tighter, shivering from the chilly air of the night.
Her stomach clawed and yowled in hunger, begging for some kind of sustenance, but she had nothing. She'd barely had enough time to rest, yet alone take the time to hunt or go scavenging. She'd taken to snagging pieces of grass and chewing it to keep her mind off of eating food, but so far it wasn't working. She'd have to find something to eat sooner or later, she was becoming frail and tired quickly. Too quickly.
She didn't know why she kept moving so rapidly. They were sure to be long gone by now. Far away. But that frantic fear pulsed in her mind. The urge to run away was now a part of her, forcing her to keep moving on, to pick on the pace. Never stop, never give in. Never relent. All these lessons had been drilled into her brain ever since she was a kitten.
And she still held those beliefs tight. If you stop, others will catch up. If others catch up, they'll get you. And when they get you, it's game over. If they mark you, you're
dead.
A sound rustled close by, and the pretty calico she-cat leapt to her paws quickly, not even blinking as she fled, hiding in the shadows, her pelt blending in with the darkness of the night -or so she hoped- keeping her hidden, safe, as she ran.
A fluttering was heard as she sprinted across the harsh Upwalker material, and she quickly calculated that it must've been a bird who had startled her, nothing more, nothing less. But she kept running. If you stop, others will catch up. If they mark you, you're dead. She kept repeating this to herself mentally over and over, like a mantra, or some kind of strange prayer.
She leapt over an old box gracefully, skidding into a warehouse. You could say it was like a curse. Or a jinx. She smiled dryly.
Oh yes, definitely like a jinx.
So, what did you guys think? Good? Bad? Got any critique? I'd love to hear it. And any reviews would be really appreciated, thank you. Also, any questions you might have feel free to ask, as I will be happy to answer them.
So, can I have any guesses on the name for our lovely main character here? Anyone? No? Oh, okay...
Anyway, have a very merry New Year, and thanks for reading!
